Do not
attempt to operate this oven with the door open, since open-door operation can result in

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
door (bent)
hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

This section
gives you instructions to operate each
cooking function. Please read these
instructions carefully. Sometimes combination
microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get
the best cooking results since it shortens the cooking
time for foods that normally need a long time to cook.
This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the
inside and crispy on the outside. In combination
cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy
alternate automatically. Your oven has three
preprogrammed settings that make it easy to use
combination cooking.

HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE
To heat
or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the
amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best
results. Room
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the
placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe
lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for
reheating cooked food.
