MICROWAVE OVEN USE A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. ■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■ Do not use metal bakeware during combination cycles. Some automatic Cook, Bake and Roast programs use combination cooking. Follow instructions on the display during programming. Manual Roast may also be programmed for combination cooking. ■ Use only microwave-safe, ovenproof cookware for all nonBake convection or combination cycles. MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS Paper: Towels, Dinnerware, Napkins Use nonrecycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
MANUAL COOKING Add a Minute Convect Time/Temp Cooking The ADD A MINUTE control automatically starts the microwave oven at 100% power for 1 minute, and adds 1 minute of cook time, up to 10 minutes, with each additional touch of the control. Time may be added in 1-minute increments by touching ADD A MINUTE, or by minutes and seconds using the interactive touch screen display. Cook power or cook time may be changed after cooking begins by using the “Adjust Settings” control.

Keep Warm WARNING Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Keep Warm function uses 10% cook power. Keep Warm can be used by itself, or it can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. See “Cooking in Stages” section. ■ Cover plates of food. ■ Cover foods that were covered while being cooked.
PROGRAMMED COOKING Convection Cooking Sensor Cooking During convection cycles, the convection element heats the air in the microwave oven cavity, and the convection fan circulates the hot air. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly. See “Food Type Chart” for automatic convection cycles (Bake or Roast). Convection cooking may also be done manually. Use convection cooking for items such as pies, breads, cookies, cakes and pizza.
Popcorn Using Cook Method Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn. The sensor will determine accurate popping times for bag sizes: 3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) or 1.75 oz (50 g). For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the package. NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times.
