SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AMV5206BA_03143F.indb 5 5 2006-01-20 ¿ÀÀü 11:15:14 Getting The Best Cooking Results To get the best results from your microwave oven, read and follow the guidelines below. · Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature. · Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones, pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food. · Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. · Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary. · Turn over foods like pork chops, baking potatoes, roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy. · Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish. · Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish. · Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry. · Let It Stand: After you remove the food from the microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcooking the outer edges. The length of standing time depends on the density and surface area of the food. · Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out. 6 AMV5206BA_03143F.indb 6 2006-01-20 ¿ÀÀü 11:15:14 Features OVEN SPECIFICATIONS Model and Serial Number Plate Window with Metal Shield Door Handle Glass Turntable Cooking Guide Wire Rack Vent Grille Power Supply Input Power Cooking Power Frequency Rated Current Outer Dimensions Cavity Volume Net Weight 120 VAC, 60 Hz 1,700W (USA) 1,150 W (IEC 60705 Standard) 2,450 MHz 14.8 A (USA) 29 7/8"(W) x 16 15/16"(H) x 15 21/32"(D) 2.0 Cu.

The display will indicate the sensing period by scrolling the name of the food. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to cook. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results when cooking by Sensor, follow these recommendations: 1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature. 2. Glass turntable and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results. 3. Most foods should always be covered loosely with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. 4. Do not open the door or touch the STOP/CLEAR pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food. See sensing chart on page 14. IMPORTANT: When using sensor cook, the oven must cool for 5 minutes between uses or food will not cook properly. 2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. 3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results. 4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor. NOTE: If food is not thoroughly cooked or reheated when using the sensor feature, complete using a power level and cooking time. DO NOT continue using the sensor pad.

Guide for Cooking Eggs in Your Microwave · Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode. · Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting. · Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked. Guide for Cooking Vegetables in Your Microwave · Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water. · Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones. · Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time has passed. · Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center. · When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap. · Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting. · For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time. · Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes, while a dish of peas can be served immediately. 21 AMV5206BA_03143F.indb 21 2006-01-20 ¿ÀÀü 11:15:28 Cooking Utensils MICROWAVE UTENSIL GUIDE USE OVEN PROOF GLASS (treated for high intensity heat): Utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic trim.

Neither the oven's display nor the oven operate. · Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet. · If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on. · Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. · Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse. · Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn't work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet. · Plug the oven into a different outlet. The oven's display works, but the power won't come on. · Make sure the door is closed securely. · Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal. · Check for door damage. · Press STOP/CLEAR pad twice and re-enter all cooking instructions. The power goes off before the set time has elapsed. · If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: PLEASE TOUCH CLOCK AND TIME OF DAY. Reset the clock and any cooking instructions. · Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse. The food is cooking too slowly. · Make sure the oven is on its own 20 amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit. You see sparks or arcing. · Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls. The turntable makes noises or sticks. · Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. · Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly. Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference. · This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio. Note: If the oven is set to cook for more than 25 minutes, it will automatically adjust itself to 70 percent power after 25 minutes to avoid overcooking.

Pour une cuisson régulière, réduisez la puissance lors de la cuisson de gros morceaux d'aliments. · Humidité naturelle: Les aliments très humides cuisent de façon plus régulière car l'énergie des micro-ondes est attirée par les molécules d'eau. · Mélangez: les aliments de l'extérieur vers le centre, notamment les plats en sauce et les légumes, afin de répartir correctement la chaleur et d'accélérer la cuisson. Il n'est pas nécessaire de mélanger constamment. · Retournez: les aliments comme les côtes de porc, les pommes de terre au four ou le chou-fleur à la moitié du temps de cuisson, afin d'exposer tous les côtés de façon homogène à l'énergie des micro-ondes. · Placez les parties délicates des aliments, comme les pointes d'asperges, vers le centre du plat. · Disposez les aliments de forme différente, tels que des morceaux de poulet ou des darnes de saumon, en plaçant la partie la plus épaisse vers l'extérieur du plat. · Protégez, avec de petits morceaux de papier aluminium, les parties des aliments qui cuisent vite, comme les ailes et les cuisses de volaille. · Laissez reposer: Après avoir sorti les aliments du micro-ondes, couvrez-les avec du papier aluminium et laissez-les reposer pour terminer la cuisson à coeur et éviter que les bords extérieurs ne soient trop cuits. La durée du repos dépend de la densité et de la surface de l'aliment. · Envelopper dans du papier paraffiné ou absorbant: Les sandwiches et beaucoup d'autres aliments contenant du pain précuit doivent être enveloppés avant de passer au micro-ondes pour éviter qu'ils ne sèchent. 34 AMV5206BA_03143F.indb 34 2006-01-20 ¿ÀÀü 11:15:33 Fonctions CARACTERISTIQUES DU FOUR Alimentation 120 V CA, 60 Hz 1150 W (norme CEI 60705) 2450 MHz 14,8 A (Etats-Unis) Alimentation d'entrée 1700 W (Etats-Unis) Puissance de cuisson Fréquence Courant nominal Dimensions 759 x 430 x 397 mm extérieures (L x H x P) Volume intérieur Poids net 56 L 26,4 kg 35 AMV5206BA_03143F.indb 35 2006-01-20 ¿ÀÀü 11:15:34 Fonctions FEATURES (CARACTERISTIQUES) 1.
