IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

• Do not use water on grease fh-es.Smother flaming panon surface unit by covering pan completely with well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can beput out bycovering with baking soda or,if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

• Do not touch heating elements or interior surface of oven. These

surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices

around the oven door and the edges of the door window.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door

is opened.

• When cooking pork follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature

of at least 170°E This assures that, in the remote possibility that

trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

Microwave Oven:

• Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found on page 3.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

--Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic

or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate

cooking.

--Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.

--Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

--Paper towels, napkins and wax paper. Recycled paper products can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

--Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in aspecial microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for

use in microwave ovens.

--Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

--Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by

accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is

done, However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times--it saves energy and

prolongs life of the oven.

--If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut offpower at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

• Some products such as whole

eggs and sealed containers--for example, closed glass jars--may explode and should not be heated

in this oven.

*See door surface cleaning instructions onpage 41.

• Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in

injury.

• Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Foil strips as used on

meat roasts are helpful when used as shown in cookbook.

TV dinners maybe microwaved in foiltrays less than 3/4" high; remove top foilcover and return trayto box. When using metal in microwaveoven,keep metal (except for DOUBLE DUTY TM shelf) at least 1 inch away from sides

ofoven.

• Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred

from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles

of the utensil. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil.

• Sometimes, the ovenfloor

can become too hot to touch. Be carefultouchingthefloor during

andaftercooking.

• Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless

the thermometer is designed or

recommended for use in the microwave oven.

• Remove the temperature

probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave theprobe inside theovenwithout

inserting itin food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, itcan create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven walls.

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

• Boiling eggs is not recommended in a microwave

oven. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst,

resulting in injury.

Page 5

• Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, sausages,

tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape

during cooking.

• Plastic Utensils--Plastic utensils

designed for microwave cooking are

very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only and use them in strict compliance with

the utensil manufacturer's recommendations. 2) Do not

, subject empty utensils to

microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

• "Boilable" cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during

or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also,

plastic storage containers should

be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,

remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

* Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing

less moisture. Should this occur,

refer to page 40 for instructions on

how to clean the inside of the oven.

• Spontaneous boiling--Under

certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent bums from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the

container from the microwave oven.

• Use of the DOUBLE DUTY rM shelf accessory.

--Remove the shelf from oven

when not in use.

--Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

--Use pot holders when handling the shelf and utensils. They may

be hot.

--Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could

overheat. Use of shelf with Automatic Cooking feature is not

recommended.

Lower Oven:

• Stand away from the oven when opening oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face

and/or eyes.

* Don't heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure

could build up andthe container could burst, causing an injury.

* Keep oven vent ducts

unobstructed.

• Keep oven free from grease

buildup.

• Place oven rack in desired position while oven is cool. If

racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating units in the oven.

• Pulling out shelfto the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces ofthe door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the

manufacturer's directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they

can catch fire.

Self Cleaning Lower Oven:

• Do not clean door gasket. The

doorgasket is essential fora good

seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or movethe gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protectivecoatingof any kind

should be used in or around any part ofthe oven.

• Clean only parts listed in this

Use and Care Book.

• Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan and other

utensils.

• Listen for fan--a fan noise

should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call for service before self-cleaning again.

Energy-Saving Tips

• Use proper power level as recommended and DO NOT OVERCOOK.

• Do not operate the oven while empty. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times--saves energy and also

ensures good, long-term life of oven.

• Preheat the oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook

satisfactorily without preheating.

If you find preheating is necessary,

keep an eye on the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out.

• Always turn oven OFF before

removing food.

• During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as

short a time as possible when it is opened.

• For self-cleaning oven, be sure

to wipe up excess spillage before

self-cleaning operation.

• Cook complete oven meals

instead of just one food item.

Potatoes, other vegetables, and

some desserts will cook together

with a main-dish casserole, meat

loaf, chicken or roast. Choose

foods that cook at the same

temperature in approximately

the same time.

• Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish

cooking casseroles, oven meals,

etc. Also add rolls or precooked

desserts to warm oven, using

residual heat to warm them.

Microwaving Tips

• Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china

dinnerware which does not have metallic trirn or glaze with a metallic

sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for Microwaving 7

If you are unsure, use this dish test: Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup.

Place in oven on or beside dish. Microwave 1 minute at HIGH. If water becomes hot, dish is microwave safe. If dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

• Paper towels, wax paper, and plastic wrap can be used to cover

dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

• Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating, or rearranging. Check your cookbook for specific

instructions.

• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

Questions and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my dish wasn't done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due to time or location many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your

dish a little longer, if necessary. Q. I touched the number pads

and selected my power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn't come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK pad must be touched before setting the number

pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

Q. I want to cook on a power level other than HIGH. What do I need to do?

A. To change the power level, touch the POWER LEVEL pad after entering cook time. "ENTER POWER" flashes on the display panel. Enter new number.

Q. Can I interrupt my Time Cook function to check the food?

A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply close the door and press the START pad. The timer must be reset for cooking to resume unless time is remaining on timer.

Page 11

Cooking byTemperature

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

"TEMP COOK/HOLD" takes the

guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to "Hold" setting after reaching

the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

SENSOR HANDLE

TWO POSITION CABLE

CLIP END

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using "TEMP COOK/HOLD" or 'AUTO ROAST?

A two-position clip attaches to the side of a dish to help keep the probe in position when temperature cooking foods such as chili or soup. To use your probe properly in a roast, follow directions on page 12.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium

Step 1: Insert temperature probe

and attach probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.

Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/ HOLD. "ENTER MICRO TEMP"

flashes. Step 3: Touch 1, 2, 5 for 125°F.

"MICRO TEMP COOK',' 125F

and POWER 10 show on display. Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL

pad. "ENTER POWER" flashes. Touch 5 for medium power.

"MICRO TEMP COOK',' 125F and POWER 5 show on display.

Step 5: Touch START. If internal

temperature of the roast is less than

80°E, display will show "COOL" or if temperature is 80°F. or above, display shows temperature counting up.

Step 6: When 125°F. is reached, the oven will sound and display

"HOLD? The oven will then hold

the temperature. Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF

pad to stop the cycle.

Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.

Cooking Tips

• Use a lower power level; it will heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

• Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used

in frozen foods.

• Cover foods loosely for moisture

control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. Are there any foods I can't Temp Cook?

A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc. soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs and

frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It's

best to Time Cook these foods.

Q. Why did "PROBE" flash after I touched the START pad?

A. "PROBE" will flash if you

don't seat the cable end of the probe

securely into the receptacle in the oven wall or if you touch the TEMP COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it's not inserted in food?

A. No, if it touches the oven wall, you may damage the oven.

Q. Can I Temp Cook different portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes. The temperature probe gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit

individual eating styles. Simply

place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

Page 12

Automatic Roasting

AUTO ROAST uses the

temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike TEMP COOK/HOLD, which uses a single power level, AUTO ROAST uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking results without overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting,

only tender roasts should be Auto

Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved

by time, according to the cookbook which came with your oven.

Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roast on trivet in microwave safe dish. Insert probe

horizontally into the center meaty

area not touching bone or fat. Make

sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven. Cover with wax paper.

Pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add 1/2 cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe

firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

How to Auto Roast Beef to Medium

1. Touch AUTO ROAST pad.

"AUTO" appears on display and

"ENTER ROAST CODE" flashes.

Touch number pad 2. "ROAST CODE 2" appears on display and

"START" flashes. Touch START.

Display shows "COOLS' and

"ROAST CODE 2" until food

temperature reaches 80_.

2. At 80°F., display switches to show meat's internal temperature.

3. When you select Auto Roast Codes 1, 2, 3 or 4, the oven signals with 3 beeps and "TURN" flashes

on the display when it's time to turn

the roast over. After you turn the roast, close the door and touch START, food temperature appears

on the display. (Note: Oven continues to cook after the signal whether or not roast is turned over.)

4. After a pre-programmed food

temperature is reached, oven beeps 3 times and "End" appears on the display. Oven shuts off.

Automatic Defrosting

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate

code number from I to 3 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the

food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (see Conversion Guide below) and touch START. The oven calculates defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

How to set Auto Defrost

Before you begin, check the guide located at bottom of oven when you open the door. It shows minimum and maximum food

weights for each code number. You will need to know your food weight and corresponding code before setting Auto Defrost.

1. Remove food from package,

place in oven on microwave-safe dish, and close door.

2. Touch AUTO DEFROST pad.

3. Enter selected Code from guide. For example, poultry calls for Code 2.

"ENTER WEIGHT" flashes. "DEF CODE 2" and "LBSY appear on display.

4. Enter weight. For example, touch Number Pads 1 and 2 for weight of

1.2 pounds (1 pound, 3 ounces--see

Conversion Guide at right).

Display shows "AUTO" for 4 seconds and then "START" flashes.

Note: If "ERROR" appears on display. check the Code Guide. Make sure

weight corresponds to code number.

Twice during defrosting, the oven beeps 3 times, "TURN" flashes and oven shuts off. "TURN"

continues to flash until you open the door. After turning the food,

close door and touch START.

When defrosting time is completed,

"End" flashes and oven beeps 3

times. "End" remains on display and oven beeps every minute until door is opened or CLEAR/OFF pad is touched.

Stand Time

When using the Auto Defrost feature, it is necessary to allow

food to stand in order to finish defrosting the interior. You may

take the food out of the oven if you wish. And in some cases, it should

stand in your refrigerator. Stand time recommendations are given in the guide on the next page.

"ENTER DEF CODE" flashes.

"AUTO" and "WEIGHT" appear on display.

5. Touch START pad. Display shows "DEF TIME, CODE 2, 1.2 lbsY and Defrost Time counts down.

Defrosting by Time

The Time Defrost setting is

designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.

Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

• Power level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

• See your cookbook for defrosting

help.

To become better acquainted with the defrost function, defrost a 10oz. package of frozen strawberries by

following the steps below. Step 1: Place package of frozen

strawberries in the oven and close

door. Be sure package contains

no metal.

Step 2: Touch TIME DEFROST. Display shows : 0 and "POWER 3_' "ENTER MICRO DEF TIME" flashes.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended in

your cookbook. For example, touch

3, 0 and 0 for 3 minutes. Display shows 3:00 and "POWER 3."

"MICRO DEF TIME" flashes. If you wish to change power level, touch POWER LEVEL pad and

then new number.

Step 4: Touch START. "MICRO

DEF TIME" shows and time counts

down on display. When cycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes "End," then automatically

shuts off.

Step 5: Turn package over, close door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of defrosting time

and touch START. Step 6: When oven signals and

flashes "End7 open door, remove package and separate strawberries to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

• Family-size, pre-packaged frozen entrees can be defrosted and microwaved. Remove from

foil container and place in a microwave-safe dish.

• For even defrosting, some foods

need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

• Check your cookbook for other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a

power level lower than 10 (HIGH). Q. Can I defrost small items in

a hurry? A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2;

Power level 113cuts the total defrosting time to approximately

1/3. During either, rotate or stir

food frequently.

Q. Why don't the defrosting

times in the cookbook seem right

for my food? A. Cookbook times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in your cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To

resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins

operating if time is left on timer.

If not, reset timer.

Page 17

Automatic Cooking

The AUTO COOK feature may be

used to eliminate your need to look up cooking time in the cookbook or

guess how long to set cooking time.

By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food microwaves, this feature automatically adjusts the oven's cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Because most cooking containers must be covered during automatic cooking, this feature is best with foods that you want to steam or retain moisture. See page 19 for

containers and covers recommended

for automatic cooking.

Note:

Use of the metal Double Duty TM shelf with Automatic Cooking

is NOr recommended.

Foods Recommended

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish casseroles, vegetables, leftovers and convenience foods can be Auto Cooked.

Foods Not Recommended

Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention,

foods that require addition of ingredients during cooking, and

foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after cooking should not be

Auto Cooked. It is best to Time Cook them.

Foods that microwave best using the temperature probe should be Temp Cooked or Auto Roasted.

Easy to Use

Simply touch three control pads-- AUTO COOK, desired CODE, and START. The word.'_UTO" appears on the display and the sensor is activated to sense steam from food.

Keep Door Closed

Do not open the oven door while the word 'AUTO" is displayed-- steam escaping from the oven can affect cooking performance. If the door is opened, the word "ERROR"

appears. Close the door and touch START immediately.

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic Cooking Codes 1

through 9 are designed to give you

easy automatic results with a number

of foods. CODE 1,designed for reheating

foods quickly, turns the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods.

When CODES 2 through 9 are selected, the oven determines how much additional cooking time is needed after steam has been sensed,

automatically switches to MICRO TIME COOK, signals, and the word

"AUTO" on the display is replaced

by countdown numbers indicating

remaining cooking time. When the signal is heard, the oven door may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.

A guide behind the oven door lists cooking codes for frequendy prepared

fresh or uncooked foods and appropriate codes are recommended

in the recipes and cooking guide on pages 20 through 27.

Example:

Place covered food in oven. Touch AUTO COOK pad. "AUTO COOK" appears on display and

"ENTER CODE" flashes.

Touch number pad for desired code, "COOK" and "CODE 2" shows

and "START" flashes. Touch START.

Word "AUTO" shows on display,

indicating steam sensor is activated. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. OPENING DOOR MAY AFFECT COOKING PERFORMANCE.

Beep sounds when steam is sensed and "AUTO" is replaced by cook time. Rotate or stir food, if necessary. When done, oven beeps and stops, and displays "END:'

Page 18

How to Adjust AUTO COOK Codes To Suit Your Taste

By simply adding a I after any

AUTO COOK code number from 2 through 9, you can set the oven to

cook for 20 % less time than the code would regularly provide.

For example, if CODE 4 cooks your seafood more done than you like it, set CODE 41 next time and you'll get 20 % shorter cooking time.

If you want a longer cooking time than a code provides, add a 9 after the code.

For the seafood in the example above, CODE 49 would provide

20% longer cooking time than the

regular CODE 4 would provide.

Example:

Touch AUTO COOK pad. AUTO COOK is displayed and "ENTER

CODE" flashes.

Touch number pads 4 and 1 in that order. COOK and CODE 4 are

displayed and "START" flashes.

Touch START. AUTO COOK and CODE 2 show on display. DO NOT

OPEN DOOR until first oven signal, then rotate dish 1/2 turn if

necessary. Close door and touch START to finish cooking.

Questions & Answers

Q. Why does my oven automatically cut off after the Auto cycle when using Auto Cook Control Code 1

when it does not for other settings? A. When using Code 1, there is no

second phase of minutes counting

down. All the cooking is completed

in the first phase or Auto.

Q. If my food is not completely cooked after using the suggested Code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook and Power

Level 10 for a few minutes until completion.

Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables require a standing period after cooking with Auto Cook?

A. Most vegetables are cooked to a crisp state during Auto Cook,

just as in regular microwaving.

Therefore, it is recommended that

you let the vegetables stand for up to 5 minutes depending on size and density of pieces. This standing time also enhances the overall

flavor and appearance of most

vegetables. Q. What if I don't fully cover the

dish in Auto Cook?

A. Oven senses steam too quickly which shortens the cooking time thus leaving undercooked food. Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when

using Auto Cook? A. Yes, in some cases, larger

pieces will require additional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arrangement is often a successful tip in regular microwaving.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water when using Auto Cook?

A. Yes. Add water as recommended on guide to the vegetables and

cover well for even, complete cooking.

Q. Should I use Auto Cook to cook pudding or sauces?

A. Most pudding and sauce recipes

require stirring many times during

cooking; therefore, Time Cook is

recommended.

Q. My scalloped potatoes were not completely cooked when I

removed the dish after Auto Cook. What is wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have been too much remaining moisture in the oven. Make sure you dry the oven completely before using Auto Cook since this function operates properly by sensing steam in the oven. Also, starting Auto Cook

with hot foods creates steam in the oven too soon, and decreases the first sensing cycle.

Q. Are there any other foods which are best Time Cooked,

rather than Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are cooked best by Time Cook.

Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Cooking?

A. No, most types of plastic

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may prevent adequate steam from escaping and food may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking.

Q. I tried to warm some chow mein noodles using Auto Cook. Why didn't this work?

A. Food must have some moisture

in order to create steam which helps the auto sensor function.

Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles, potato chips and

other such foods do not have enough moisture.

Q. May I use Auto Cook when I am cooking many foods in more

than one dish or casserole?

A. No, because of different food densities, attention needed during cooking, and food amounts, it is

best to use Time Cook when cooking many foods.

Automatic Cooking Containers & Covers

Containers and covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

* Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with

lids, wax paper or plastic wrap. Wonder if it's microwave safe? Put

it to the test described in your

cookbook.

* Never use tight-sealing plastic covers--they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

• Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full.

• 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.

• Stir or rotate some foods after

a beeping signal. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide and recipes on the following pages.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables.

Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or

wax paper. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to allow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperboard trays, remove tray from box but do not remove film over tray. Thick

entrees may take longer to cook--

see guide on page 20. For frozen foods in metal trays,

remove foil covering and baked

goods, reinsert tray into box and close ends of box.

Use oblong or square containers for chicken or corn on the cob. Plastic

wrap covering should be loose over

food to allow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Paper plates--while they may be used fbr Time and Temperature Cooking and Defrosting, do not use them with automatic cooking. Use microwave-satE plates or bowls

for reheating. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown above. Break food up thoroughly after oven signals.

Follow Automatic Cooking Control Guide setting for casseroles. Cover casserole meat and vegetables with

sauce. Cool hot ingredients or sauces.

If they are not cool, use TIME

COOK.

Page 20

Automatic Cooking Control Guide

• Do not open oven door during Auto cycle. Door may be opened

after oven beeps and the countdown

time is displayed.

• Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least 1/2 full.

• Add 1/4-1/2 cup water to fresh

vegetables.

• Most foods should be covered

with lid to dish or wax paper to prevent spattering to keep oven clean. Spareribs, pot roasts and meat loaf should be covered tightly to ensure even cooking.

• Be sure outside of container and inside of oven are dry.

• If food needs additional cooking, return to oven and use Auto Cook Code 1.

• Use preference control 'T' or "9" to adjust cook times to suit your individual tastes. See page 18.

• Use of Automatic Cooking

feature with DOUBLE DUTY TM shelf is not recommended.

NOTE: Oven will not accept "Auto Cook Code" if the oven is hot. You must cool the oven before using Auto Cook I

or you may choose to use Time or Temperature Microwave Cooking.

How to Use the Double DutyTM Shelf

• Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product

damage may result.

• Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and cookware.

They may be hot.

• Do not store microwave browning dish on metal shelf.

• Use of DOUBLE DUTY TM shelf with Automatic Cooking is not

recommended.

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. More than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time+

When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ

from the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to

arrange foods properly, and this is

shown on the next page. Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions below. Also, food size should be considered; foods

over 4 inches high, or 31/2pounds are not recommended for shelf

cooking. Batters and dough lbods and also

uncooked tbods which need to be prepared from scratch should be

cooked without the oven shelf, tbliowing cookbook directions.

Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is microwave safe.

Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup,

9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls

or divided plates.

Positioning the Shelf

To position the DOUBLE DUTY TM shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located on each side of the oven in the rear.

Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the

oven in the front. When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back wall of

the oven. If arcing occurs when using the

shelf to cook more than one food at the same time, turn the oven

off. Make sure the shelf is

positioned right-side-up on all four shelf supports and not touching oven walls.

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food. Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

Use wax paper or plastic wrap

instead of lids on casseroles. Lids

may add too much height to dish.

Page 29

How to Heat or Reheat Similar Types of Food

Two plates of leftovers may be reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of

plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH (10) for 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn. Continue microwaving at HIGH (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue heating, if necessary, until hot.

Reheating two casseroles (height should be less than 4 inches) is possible. Cover with plastic wrap.

Use staggered arrangements of food, placing food on right side

of shelf and left side of floor. Refer to Heating or Reheating Guide in cookbook for suggested microwave

time per casserole and add the times together. Microwave at HIGH (10) reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Also,

heat several small bowls of leftovers this way, stirring and reversing positions after half of time.

How to Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on

the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important

to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.

Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large

or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or

less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating

seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the

underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of

food at HIGH (10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating guide

in cookbook.) After half of time,

stir or rearrange foods (do not

reverse positions). Check foods (floor especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Two frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinners (10 to 12 oz. each) are both ready to

serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner of the plastic

cover to vent. If there are foil covers, remove them and return the trays of

food to their boxes. (Batter foods should be removed from the trays and cooked conventionally.) Place in oven with one TV dinner on right

shelf and the second dinner on left floor. Microwave at HIGH (10) for 6 minutes. Reverse positions (top to

bottom) and rotate foods I/2 turn. Continue microwaving at HIGH (10)

for 6 minutes. Check dinners for heating. If one dinner seems less

done than desired, return it to the box and continue heating on floor

1to 2 more minutes.

Place on floor large or dense foods

which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables,

rice or pasta. Place on shelf those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Using Your Oven

Your oven is designed to give you the best results in baking, broiling and roasting when used as recommended. Before using your oven, read the directions for setting and using all of the

controls and timer.

Oven Light

Light comes on automatically

when door is opened. When door is closed, you can use switch to turn light on and off.

Switch is located on lower left of control panel under OVEN SET

knob.

Oven Shelves

When the shelves are correctly placed on shelf supports, they are designed with stop-locks to prevent

them from coming out of the oven or

tilting when food is placed on them.

To remove, lift up rear of shelf and

pull forward with stop-locks along top of shelf support.

To replace, insert shelf with stop- locks resting on shelf supports and push toward rear of oven until it falls into correct position under shelf supports.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports marked A (bottom), B, C and D

(top). Shelf positions for cooking food are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

Oven Controls

The controls for the oven are marked OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP. The OVEN SET control has settings for BAKE, TIME BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN (for lower oven) and OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper heating units are then activated for that operation.

The OVEN TEMP control maintains the temperature you set, from

WARM (150°E) to BROIL (550°E) and also at CLEAN (880°1=.) for lower oven.

Conventional Oven Timer

The Conventional Oven Timer is designed to automatically start and

stop certain oven functions (TIME BAKE or CLEAN). Clock must be set before Conventional Oven Timer

will operate. To set Clock, first touch CLOCK

pad and then number pads to enter time of day. For example, if time is

1:30, touch number pads 1, 3 and 0

and 1:30 will appear in display. Touch START and clock will be set.

Page 31

Baking

See Baking Guide on page 33.

"When cooking a food for the first

time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from the factory setting and differences in timing between

an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual and you

may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Step h Place food in oven, being

certain to leave about 1 inch of space between pans and walls of oven for good circulation of heat,

Close oven door. During baking, avoid frequent door openings to prevent undesirable results.

that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) or Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later time and turn off at a preset stop time) will be described.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

NOTE: Before beginning make

sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

Immediate Start is simply setting oven to start baking now and turning off at a later time automatically. Remember, foods continue cooking after controls are off.

Step 3: Touch number pads to enter desired baking time. For example, touch 3, 0 and 0 for 3 hours baking time. "Bake Time" and 3:00 are

displayed.

Step 4: Touch START. "Bake Tune" is displayed and baking time counts

down:

Step 1: Turn OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP

knob to oven temperature, for example 250°E

Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to

temperature on recipe or on Baking Guide.

Step 3: Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat

and remove foods.

How to Time Bake

The Conventional oven timer control allows you to turn the oven on or

off automatically at specific times

Step 2: Touch BAKE TIME pad.

"Enter Bake Time" appears on display.

Step 5: When baking is completed, oven signals; "End" and "Bake" are displayed.

Step 6: Touch CLEAR pad, open door and remove food.

Baking (continued)

How to Set Delay Start and Stop

Delay Start and Stop is setting the

oven timer to turn the oven on and off automatically at a later time

than the present time of day. For example: Let's say it's 2:00 and

dinner time is shortly after 7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours baking

time at 250°F. Here's how:

"Bake Time" and "3:00" are displayed.

Step 4: Touch STOP TIME pad.

"Enter Bake Stop Time" and : 0 appears on display.

Step 6: Touch START pad. The oven automatically figures the start time so oven will turn off when you

want baking to be completed.

Step 1: Turn OVEN SET knob to TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP

knob to 250°E or recommended temperature.

Step 2: Touch BAKE TIME pad.

Time of day remains on display and

"Enter Bake Time" and : 0 appears.

Step 3: Touch number pads 3, 0 and 0 for 3 hours baking time.

"4:00" and "Bake Start Time" are

displayed. In this example, baking

will begin at 4:00 and oven will turn off at 7:00.

Step 5: Touch number pads 7, 0

and 0 to enter 7:00 for the time you want the oven to turn off.

"7:00" and "Bake Stop Time" are displayed.

When baking time is completed, oven signals and displays "End Bake7

Step 7: Touch CLEAR pad, open door and remove food from oven.

Remember, food will continue to cook in a hot oven even after it is

turned off.

Baking Guide

1. Aluminum pans conduct heat

quickly. For most conventional baking, light, shiny finishes generally give best results. They prevent overbrowning in the time it takes for heat to cook the center areas. Dull (satin-finish) bottom surfaces of pans are recommended for cake pans and pie plates to be sure those areas brown completely.

2. Dark or non-shiny finishes, glass and Pyroceram ® cookware generally absorb heat, which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce oven heat 25°E if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron for baking some foods for rapid browning when food is added.

3. Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially for foods

which cook longer than 30 to 40 minutes. For food with short

cooking times, preheating gives best appearance and crispness.

4. Open the oven door to check food as little as possible to prevent uneven heating and to save energy.

Page 34

Roasting

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When

roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set to BAKE or

TIME BAKE. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

Step 1:Check weight of meat, and place, fat side up, on roasting rack in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with rack is agood pan for this.) Line broiler pan with aluminum foil when using pan tbr marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or for basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these

materials on oven liner or door.

Step 2: Place in oven on shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

Step 4: Most meats continue to

cook slightly while standing, after

being removed from the oven. For rare or medium internal doneness, if meat is to stand 10 to 20 minutes

while making gravy, or for easier

carving, you may wish to remove

meat from oven when internal

temperature is 5 to 10°E below temperature suggested in guide. If no standing is planned, cook meat to suggested temperature in guide on opposite page.

NOTE: You may wish to use TIME BAKE, as described on pages 31 and 32, to turn oven on and off automatically.

Remember that food will continue

to cook in the hot oven and therefore

should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been

reached.

ForFrozenRoasts

• Frozen roasts of beef, pork,

lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger

roasts).

• Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even doneness.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on packer's label.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with ameat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended.

Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide on opposite page. For roasts

over 8 lbs., cooked at 300°E with

reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the

time has passed. Q. Why is my roast crumbling

when I try to carve it? A. Roasts are easier to slice if

allowed to cool l0 to 20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure

to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a roast

or poultry? A. It is rarely necessary to preheat

your oven, only for very small roasts, which cook a short length of time.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible, or buy rolled

roasts. Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil

"tent" when roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Step 3: Turn OVEN SET to BAKE and OVEN TEMP to 325°E Small

poultry may be cooked at 375°E

for best browning.

Roasting Guide

Roasting

1. Position oven shelf at B for small-size roasts (3 to 7 ibs.) and

at A for larger roasts.

2. Place meat fat-side up, or poultry

breast-side up, on broiler pan or other shallow pan with trivet. Do

not cover. Do not stuff poultry until

just before roasting. Use meat thermometer for more accurate

doneness. (Do not place thermometer in stuffing.)

3. Remove fat and drippings as necessary. Baste as desired.

4. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10to 20 minutes to allow roast

to firm up and make it easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°E; to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove

roast from oven at 5° to 10°F. less than temperature on guide.

5. Frozen roasts can be conventionally roasted by adding

10to 25 minutes per pound more time than given in guide for refrigerated roasts. (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds.)

Defrost poultry before roasting.

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow

these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8" thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan: otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

Step 3: Position shelf on recommended

shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide on opposite page, Most broiling is done on C position, but

if your range is connected to 208

volts, you may wish to use higher

position.

Step 4: Leave door ajar a few inches

(except when broiling chicken). The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained

in the oven,

Step 5: Turn both OVEN SET and

OVEN TEMP knobs to BROIL.

Preheating units is not necessary.

(See notes in Broiling Guide.)

Step 6: Turn food only once during cooking. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

Turn food, then use times given for second side as a guide to preferred doneness. (Where two thicknesses and times are given together, use first times given lbr thinnest food.)

Step 7: Turn OVEN SET knob to OFE Serve tbod immediately, and leave pan outside oven to cool during meal tbr easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

1. If desired, broiler pan may be lined with tbil and broiler rack may be covered with foil for broiling. ALWAYS BE CERTAIN TO MOLD FOIL THOROUGHLY TO BROILER RACK, AND SLIT FOIL TO CONFORM WITH SLITS IN RACK. Broiler rack is

designed to minimize smoking and spattering, and to keep drippings cool during broiling. Stopping fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan prevents rack from serving its purpose, and juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

2. DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on shelf. To do so

may result in improperly cooked foods, damage to oven finish and

increase in heat on outside surfaces of the oven.

Questions & Answers

Q. Why should I leave the door closed when broiling chicken?

A. Chicken is the only food recommended for closed-door

broiling. This is because chicken is relatively thicker than other foods you broil. Closing the door holds more heat in the oven which allows

chicken to cook evenly throughout.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use a rack in the pan? A. Yes. Using the rack suspends

the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive

spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before

broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices

and allows them to evaporate.

Always salt alter cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat

with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often

with butter. Q. Why are my meats not turning

out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10minutes betore placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the

recommended shelf position. Broil

for longest period of time indicated

in the Broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed

to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping

the surface cool enough to prevent

meat sticking to the surface. However,

spraying the broiler rack lightly with

a vegetable cooking spray before

cooking will make cleanup easier.

Page 37

Broiling Guide

Broiling

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

2. Oven door should be ajar for all foods except chicken; there is a special position on door which holds door open correctly.

3, For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat.

To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or brush

with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat dripping.

6. Broiler does not need to be

preheated. However, for very thin

foods, or to increase browning,

preheat if desired.

7. Frozen Steaks can be

conventionally broiled by

positioning the oven shelf at next

lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide

11/2times per side.

8. If your oven is connected to

208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled

by preheating broil heater and

positioning the oven shelf one

position higher.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not working, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven

Timer uses the oven clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning

cycle. Q. Can I use commercial oven

cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should

be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not wipe the oven absolutely clean, the residue can scar the oven surface

and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the Woven Gasket around the oven door?

A. No, this gasket is essential tbr

a good oven seal and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. After having just used the oven, the LOCKED light came on and I could not move the

LATCH HANDLE. Why?

A. After several continuous high-

temperature bakings or broilings, the LOCKED light may come on. The oven door can't be latched for

self-cleaning while the LOCKED

light is on. If this happens, let the oven cool until the LOCKED light goes off. Then the oven door can be latched for self-cleaning.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil, and you should switch the OVEN

SET knob to OFF. Open windows to rid room of smoke. Allow the

oven to cool for at least one hour

before opening the door. Wipe up

the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the "crackling" sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the metal heating and cooling during both the

cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there may be a slight odor

during the first few cleanings.

Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause an odor when

cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition resulting from heating and cooling

during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave

a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or

cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is the matter?

A. After many cleanings, oven

shelves may become so clean they do not slide easily. If you wish shelves to slide more easily, dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle,

the shelves may lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Care and Cleaning of YourCooking Center

Proper care and cleaning are important so your Cooking

Center will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper

maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER

IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR COOKING CENTER.

Control Panel

Don't use sharp-edged utensils around the control panel. They might damage it.

Clean the panels with a lightly dampened cloth. DO NOT USE cleaning sprays or large amounts of

soap and water. These can cause problems with the control mechanisms.

Temperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling it. Do not twist it. Avoid dropping it. Clean as soon as possible after use.

Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub

metal parts with a plastic scouring

pad if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or, wash the probe in an automatic dishwasher.)

Aluminum Foil on Shelves-- why you shouldn't use it

DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on any shelf in either your

microwave or conventional oven. If you do, your foods may not cook

properly. The oven finish may be damaged, and there may be an

increase in heat on the outside surfaces of the oven.

Oven Lamp

To replace microwave oven lamp, first disconnect power at main

fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Remove the grille by removing the

3 screws on top and the 3 screws on the bottom of the grille using a blade-type screwdriver.

The lamp is located on the left side behind the grille.

Gently twist the bulb to break the white silicone adhesive attached

to the bulb and socket to prevent damage during shipping. Unscrew the bulb and replace with a bulb of same type and wattage available from your General Electric supplier.

Screw replacement bulb in socket

and replace grille. Re-connect

power to Cooking Center.

DOUBLE DUTY TM Shelf Accessory

Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not

clean in self-cleaning oven.

Precautions for Use of Metal

Use metal only as directed in the

Cookbook. Metal trays no more than 3/4" deep may be used for TV dinners, and the metal temperature probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sides of oven.

Cleaning--Outside

Clean the outside of your microwave oven with soap and damp cloth, then rinse with damp cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Cleaningmlnside

Keep your microwave oven clean and sweet-smelling. Opening the

oven door a few minutes after

cooking helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Page 41

Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls and floor. That's because there's little heat

except in the food, or sometimes in the utensil. Some spatters wipe up

with a paper towel, some may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside of the door daily.

Wash window, when it's soiled, with a minimum of sudsy, warm

water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the door frequently. Use a damp cloth to remove all

soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, such as cleaning powders or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the

surface, Door Surface. When cleaning

surthces of door and oven that come together on closing the door,

use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Using a Brown 'N Sear Dish?

Use Bon Ami ®brand cleanser. High heat generated on the bottom

of the Brown 'N Sear Dish can cause scorched appearing stains to

bake onto the floor if grease is present. These may be removed

with Bon Ami ® brand cleanser.

After using this cleaner, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use it on the painted surfaces such as the walls--it may scratch the paint.

Adjusting Oven

Thermostat

Indented Area

The temperature on your new oven

has been accurately set at the

factory. However, if your food

consistently browns too much or too little, you may make a simple

adjustment behind your OVEN

TEMP knob. To readjust your

thermostat:

• Rotate OVEN TEMP knob to

CLEAN position and pull knob off

the shaft, revealing area behind

knob.

• Insert the tip of a 3/16" standard

screwdriver into the indented area

directly under the notch and turn in

the desired direction. Be careful

not to scratch glass control panel.

• Toincrease oven temperature,

move dial one notch counter-

clockwise. To lower oven

temperature, move dial one notch

clockwise. (Each notch represents

approximately 15°E)

• Return knob to the range by

matching the fiat area of the knob

to the shaft.

• Recheck oven performance before making an additional adjustment.

Oven Vent Duct

The oven is vented through a duct that's located on the right side of the oven just above the door handle

(see page 7). Moisture and vapors from the oven are vented through it when oven is in use. Never cover the hole in the duct. To do so

prevents it from functioning properly during cooking and cleaning.

Lamp Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing

your oven lamp bulb, disconnect

the electric power for your Cooking Center at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let the lamp cover and bulb cool completely before removing or

replacing them.

The oven lamp (bulb) is covered with a glass removable cover which is held in place with a bail-shaped

wire. Remove oven door, ifdesired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

• Hold hand under cover so it doesn't fall when released. With

fingers of same hand, firmly push back wire bail until it clears cover. Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE

ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

• Replace bulb with 40-watt home

appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

• Place it into groove of lamp

receptacle. Pull wire bail forward

to center of cover until it snaps into

place. When in place, wire holds

cover firmly. Be certain wire bail is

in depression in center of cover.

• Connect electric power to oven.

Use of Aluminum Foil in Broiling

If you wish, you may line the broiler pan with aluminum foil and cover the rack with it for broiling. ALWAYS BE SURE TO MOLD THE FOIL THOROUGHLY TO THE BROILER RACK AND SLIT THE FOIL TO CONFORM WITH

SLITS IN THE RACK. Stopping fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan prevents the rack from serving its purpose and MAY LET JUICES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO CATCH FIRE.

Pull off knobs. Wash gently but do not soak. Dry and return controls to oven making sure to match flat area on the knob and shaft.

Wash all glass with cloth dampened in soapy water. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. If knobs

on the control panel are removed, do not allow water to run down inside the surface of glass

while cleaning.

Wash, rinse, and then polish with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids, or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish.

Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the enamel. If acids should spill on the oven while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up right

away. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills, such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water when cooled and then

rinse. Polish with dry cloth. On this oven, clean ONLY the door liner outside the gasket. The door is automatically cleaned

if the oven is in the self-cleaning cycle. If spillover or spattering should occur in cooking function, wipe the door with soap and water. DO NOT rub or damage gasket. Awfidgetting soap and water on the gasket or in the rectangular flanges on the door.

Avoid getting ANY cleaning materials on the gasket.

Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with soap and water will prolong the time between

major cleanings. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. For very heavy soiling, use your self-cleaning

cycle often.

Your shelves can be cleaned with the self-cleaning function in the oven. For heavy soil, clean by hand, using any and all mentioned materials. Rinse thoroughly to remove all materials after

cleaning. Do not clean microwave oven shelf in self-cleaning oven.
