8-16 oz (227-454 g)
Place food on microwave-safe plate, cover
with plastic wrap and vent.
1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
Place in microwave-safe container, cover

1-4 cups (250 mL-1 L)
Place in microwave-safe container, cover
with plastic wrap and vent. Stir and let stand
2-3 minutes after reheating.
NOTE: When covering foods, make sure the vent opening is large
enough for moisture to escape. This will allow the sensor to
accurately determine reheating time.
To Use Sensor Reheat:
1. Place food on the turntable and close the door.
2. Touch SENSOR REHEAT until desired food type is displayed.
The Sensor Reheat function will start automatically after a
brief delay.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
The sensor in the microwave oven determines the appropriate
popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.
This function is programmed to detect popping times for 3.5-oz
(99 g), 3.0-oz (85 g) and 1.75-oz (50 g) bags.
NOTE: During Sensor Popcorn function, as will all microwave
cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all
times. Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds,
then stop the cycle.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular
paper bags or glassware.
• Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time.
• Follow manufacturer's instructions when using a microwave
popcorn popper.
• For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels.
• Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
• Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. For bag
sizes not listed in this section, follow package directions.
To Use Sensor Popcorn:
1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable, and close the door.
2. Touch SENSOR POPCORN.
The microwave oven will start automatically after a brief
delay.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
3. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the microwave
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly. The oven uses convection
cooking whenever the Auto Convection, Manual Convection, or
Combination cooking programs are used.
• The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot during
the convection cycle. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
• Use the provided convection rack.
• Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil,
as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.
• Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking. (Round pizza pans are excellent
cooking utensils for many convection-only items.) Metal
utensils cannot be used in microwave or combination
cooking.
• Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
• No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven
recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures
might need to be reduced, and some cooking times might
need to be shortened.
• This microwave oven may be preheated inthe same way that
a standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods
call for preheating.)
To preheat the microwave oven for convection cooking, follow
steps 1 through 3 below.
To convection cook without preheating, skip step 3 below.
To Manual Convect Cook:
1. Touch CONVECT.
2. Touch TEMP/POWER "up" or "down" arrow pads to set a
temperature other than the default 350°F (177°C). See
"Preheat Temperature Chart."
The temperature can be set at 100°F (38°C) for bread
proofing, or between 225 ° and 450°F (107° and 232°C), for
cooking. Each touch adjusts the setting by 5°F (3°C).
3. Touch START/ENTER to preheat microwave oven.
Two tones will sound when preheat temperature has been
reached.
4. Place food in ovenproof cookware on the convection rack
and close the door.
5. Touch HOUR or MIN "up" or "down" arrow pads to set
cooking time.
6. Touch START/ENTER.
When the cycle ends, "END" will appear in the display, and
the end-of-cycle tones will sound.
7. Touch OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the display.
