Amana AMC7159TA Guida Utente

The sensor in the microwave oven determines the reheating time 
based on the selection. Use the following chart as a guide.

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.

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.

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 heat-proof 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 soufflés, 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 in the 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.

1. Touch CONVECT.

2. Touch TEMP/POWER “up” or “down” arrow pads to set a 

temperature other than the default 350ºF (177ºC). See 
“Preheat Temperature Chart.”

The temperature can be set at 100ºF (38ºC) for bread 
proofing, or between 225º and 450ºF (107º and 232ºC), for 
cooking. Each touch adjusts the setting by 5ºF (3ºC).

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.
