Microwaving Tips

o 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 trim or glaze with a metallic
sheen can be used_ Some cookware

is labeled "suitable for microwavingY
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

o Paper' towels, wax paper' and

plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture

and prevent spattering.

• Some rnicrowaved foods require
stirring, rotating or reazranging
Check your cookbook

o 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.

heated food. Pot holders

Sometimes, the oven floor and

walls can become too hot to
touch. Be careful touching the

floor and walls during and after
cooking.

• Foods cooked in liquids (such
aspasta) may tend to boil over

more rapidly than foodscontaining

less moisture. Should this occur,
refer topage 36 for instructionson

how to clean the inside of the oven.

o Do not use regular cooking

or oven thermometers when
cooking by microwave or

combination. The metal and

mercury in these thermometers
could cause "arcing" and possible
damage to oven.

o Remove the temperature probe
from the oven when not using it
to cook with. If you leave the
probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and

turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, damage oven walls and
damage the temperature probe.

o Plastic utensils--Plastic utensils

designedfor microwave cooking
are very useful, but should be
used carefully. Even microwave-
safe plastic may not be as tolerant
ofovercooking conditions as are
glassor ceramic materials and may
soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcookingoIn longer

exposures to overcooking, the food

and utensils could ignite° For

these reasons: 1)Use microwave-

safe 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,

oWhen cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly andalways
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 wilt be safe to eat_

o Boiling eggs is not
recommended in a microwave

oven. Pressurecan build up
inside eggyolk and may cause
it to burst, resulting in injury,

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

chicken livers and other giblets,

andegg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to
allow steam to escape during

cooking_

• "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,
plasticstorage containers should be
at least partially uncoveredbecause
they form a tight seal. When
cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove
coveringcarefully and direct steam
awayfrom hands and face.

o Spontaneous boiling--Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or

shortly after removal from the
microwave oven, To prevent burns

from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the

container from the microwaveoven.

oUse of the oven metal

accessory rack. (See your
cookbook for proper use.)

--Remove the rack from oven
when not in use.

Use pot holders when handling

the rack and utensils. They may

be hot.

--Do not use microwavebrowning
dish on rack. The rack could

overheat. Use of rack with

Automatic Cooking feature is not
recommended.

Do not use the drip pan or
spatter shield while
microwaving.

THE EXHAUST HOOD

o Have it installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer.

See the special installationbooklet

packed with the microwave oven_

o The exhaust fan in your oven
will operate automatically under

certainconditions (see Automatic
Fan Feature, page 6). While the

fan is operating, caution is
required to prevent the starting

and spreading of accidental
cooking fires while the exhaust
fan is in use. For this reason:

--Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings.

Boilovercauses smokingand greasy
spilloversthatmay igniteandspread
if exhaust fan is operating. To
mi_mize automatic fan operation,
use adequate sized utensils and
use high heat only when necess_wy.

--In the event of a grease fire,

smother flaming pan on surface

unit bycovering pan completely

with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray,

--Never flame foods under
the oven with the exhaust fan

operating because it may svead
the flames.

--Keep hood and grease filters
clean, according to instructions on
pages 35 and37,tomaintain good
venting and avoid grease fires.

What YourOven Can Do

Cooking with your new oven
offers a wide variety of food
preparation options. Microwave
cooking uses very short, high
frequency radio waves. The

movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat

and cooks most foods faster than
conventional methods, while

retaining their natural texture
and moisture. Microwave

cooking heats food directly, not

the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy
and defrosting is particularly

convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly
circulates heated air around the food,

creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces,

Your new oven also offers the
option of combination cooking,

using microwave energy along with
convection cooking.. You cook with

Comparison Guide

speed and accuracy, while browning
and crisping to perfection

You can use microwave cooking,
convection cooking or combination
cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time
desired and your oven turns off
automatically. Or you can cook by
temperature, by these methods,
using the temperature probe to
determine the doneness by the
internal temperature of the food.
This method takes the guesswork
out of cooking, shutting the oven
off automatically when the food

reaches the desired temperaturer

The Automatic Cooking Control

(AUTO COOK) feature does your
microwave cooking for you,. It's
easy and convenient--just follow
the step-by-step instructions in this

manual.. A sensor detects steam
from the food and automatically
adjusts cooking time and power

level for best results.

Combination Auto Roast is a
cooking function that uses the
temperature probe. You simply

select from 4 Combination Auto
Roast codes, and the oven
automatically adjusts power level,
oven temperature and internal food
temperature to cook the food the

way you want it,
Auto Defrost automatically sets the

defrosting time and power levels
for your You choose the appropriate

code number from I to 6 from the
food you are defrosting, then enter

the food weight in pounds and
tenths of a pound and touch Start_
The oven calculates the defrosting
time and changes power levels
during defrosting to give even
defrosting results,.

The Auto Start Timer lets you
program the oven to start cooking

at a desired time, even if you're not
at home.

Cookware Tips

Convection Cooking

METAL PANS are recommended
for'all types of baked products, but
especially where browning or

crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are

best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust_

Shiny aluminum pans are better for'
cakes, cookies or muffins because

these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.

GLASS OR GLASS-CER_AMIC

casserole or baking dishes are best

suited for egg and cheese iecipes

due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC

baking containers are recommended
Be sure not to use items with metal

trim as it may cause arcing (sparking)
with oven wall or metal accessory

rack, damaging the cookware, the

rack or the oven_

HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC
microwave cookware (safe to

400°F,) may be used, but it is not

recommended for foods requiring
crusting or all-around browning,
because the plastic is a poor

conductor of heat_

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,

hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically

rearrange your' program. Defrosting
will always come first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later, All you need to do is

program in Defrost and amount of
time_ Then program Hold and the

amount of time Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator

promptly,

NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe_
Times wit1 vary,

Q. I programmed my oven for
a specific defrosting time but it
defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?

A. When instructions conflict,

the oven carries out the last

insWaction. You may have set the
oven to Defrost for 4 minutes,
Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then
Defrost for 6 minutes° In this case,
the oven would Defrost for 6 minutes
and Hold/Time for 2 minutes.

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

Note: [
Use of the metal accessory rack ]

with Automatic Cooking is I
NOT recommended. 1

Foods Recommended

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

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic cooking codes 1through

8 are designed to give you easy

automatic results with a number
of foods.

Code i, designed for reheating
foods quickly, turns the oven off

detects steam from the foods_

When codes 2 through 7 are
selected, the oven automatically
determines how much more cooking
time is needed after steam is sensed_
Oven signals and switches to TIME

How toAdjust
AUTO COOK Codes
ToSuit YourTaste

By simply adding a t after' any
AUTO COOK code number, you can

set the oven to cook for approximately

20 % less time than the code would

regularly provide.
For example, if CODE 4 cooks your

chicken 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 chicken in the example
above, CODE 49 would provide
approximately 20% longer cooking
time than the regular CODE 4
would provide.

Example:

Touch AUTO COOK pad, "ENTER
CODE" flashes on display,

Touch number pads 4 and i in
that order. "CODE 4" shows on

disptay_

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 on page 3.

* 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 ful! for best

results,

o 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.

o Some foods may require

stirring or rotating after first

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
vented to allow for escaping steam.

For frozen foods in metal trays,
remove foil covering and baked
goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as
shown above. Break food up after
first signal.

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

wrap covering should be vented to
allow for escaping steam,

Paper plates--while they may be

used for Time and Temperature
Cooking and Defrosting, do not
use them with automatic cooking.
Use microwave-safe plates or bowls
for reheating. Cover with plastic
wrap or' wax paper.

Touch START. "AUTO" shows 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,.

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.

Automatic Cookhng (continued)

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 during which

'%_U'ID" is displayed°

Q. If my food is not completely

cooked after using the suggested

Code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and Power

Level 10for 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,

22

Convection Thne Cooking

During convection cooking, a
heating element is used to raise
the temperature of the air inside
the oven. Any oven temperature
from 225°E to 450°E may be
programmed. A fan gently

circulates this heated air
throughout the oven, over and
around the food, producing
golden brown exteriors and rich,

moist interiors. Because the
heated air is kept constantly
moving, not permitting a layer of

cooler air to develop around the
food; some foods cook faster than
in conventional oven cooking.

should be cooked in a dish placed
directly on the oven rack on floor
of oven_

,, Place meat in a glass dish on a

trivet to collect juices and prevent

spattering_ See Convection preheat
instPactions on page 26.

o Some recipes call for preheating.

Combination Temperature Cooking

With this function of your new
oven, you can enjoy the benefits
of combination cooking with the
precision of the temperature
probe. Four combination codes
are shown on the guide on page
29 to make it easy to program
microwave power level and oven

temperature with only one entry.
The probe makes it simple to
cook to the exact degree of
doneness desired, by monitoring
the internal temperature of the
food. This function is exactly like
combination time cooIOng except
you set internal food temperature
desired instead of cooking time.

How to Combination
Temperature Cook

Step 1: Insert the temperature

probe into food as directed in this
manual or in the cookbook_ Plug
the other end securely into the oven
wall receptacle_

Step 2: Touch Combination COOK

pad, "ENTER COMB CODE"
flashes and the time of day
disappears from the display,

Step 3: Select the combination
code by touching a number pad
from 1 to 4 depending on oven
temperature needed° The code
entered is shown on the display and

"ENTER COMB FOOD TEMP"

flashes.

Step 4: Enter the desired finished
food temperature by touching the
number pads in sequence, Any
food temperature from 90°E to

t99°E may be programmed, For
example, to set 180°E, touch 1, 8
and 0 in that order_ The selected

temperature is shown on the

display.

Step 5: Touch START to begin
cooking. The selected food
temperature disappears and the
display shows "COOL" until internal
food temperature reaches 90°F.
Then display shows actual food
temperature as it rises_ When food

reaches the selected temperature,
the display shows "End" and the
oven signals and turns off.

For information on cookware for
combination temperature cooking,

refer to page 10,

Combination Auto Roast

Combination Auto Roast is similar
to combination temperature
cooking, using both microwave

and convection cooking in
conjunction with the temperature

probe. However, the Combination

Auto Roast feature eliminates

most of the steps necessary to
program combination temperature
cooking. Instead, you can set the
entire cooking program by
selecting just one Combination
Auto Roast code.

The food is placed in a glass dish
on a trivet for cooking during

Combination Auto Roast° To select a
code from 1 to 4, see the
Combination Auto Roast Guide
below.

How to Combination
Auto Roast

Step 1: Insert temperature probe into
the meat and plug the probe fmnly
into the oven wall receptacle_

Step 2: Touch the Combination
AUTO ROAST pad°

'Auto" replaces the time of day on
the display and "ENTER CODE"

flashes.

Step 3: Enter the desired
combination Auto Roast code by
toucb.ing a number pad from 1 to 4.
For example, touch number pad 2

for Beef, medium

Step 4: Touch START.

In this example, "MEd',' "COMB"
and "CODE 2" are displayed.

If you want to see the actual food
temperature, press the Combination
AUTO ROAST pad.

The probe temperature wilt be

displayed as long as the pad is
pressed.
When the food reaches the

programmed temperature for
proper degree of doneness, the
display shows "End" and the
oven signals and turns off_

Questions and Answers

Q. When I cook poultry, the thin,
small areas like legs and wings

often overcook before the rest of
the bird is thoroughly cooked.

How can I prevent this?
A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry

may be shielded with aluminum
foil during cooking+ Do not allow
foil to touch metal accessory rack
or oven sides, arcing may occur.

Q. Usually my temperature probe
gives very accurate results, but this
time it didn't. What happened?

A, If the temperature probe is

positioned touching fat or bone, an
inaccurate reading may result. Be
sure to place the probe in solid
muscle, usually the thickest,
meatiest part of the roast or

poultry, or in the center of a

meatloaf or casserole,.

Q. Meats often take longer than
indicated in the guides to reach
the desired internal temperature.

Why?

A. If the meat is recently defrosted
and still very cold or icy inside, it

will require a longer cooking time
than meat which has been merely
refrigerated. Times shown in the
guides are usually for meats that
are refrigerator temperature,.

Q. When I tried to program
nay oven for Combination Auto

Roast, it beeped and flashed

"PROBE" What did I do wrong?

A. Combination Auto Roast

cannot be programmed without the
temperature probe connected to fine
oven wall receptacle. To eliminate
the "PROBE" display and continue
programming the oven, just securely
insert the probe into the receptacle..

Q. Do most meats require standing
time after Combination Auto

Roasting?
A. You may want to let meats stand

briefly, to allow easier carving and
serving. Most meat roasts continue

to cook for a few minutes after
removing fiom the oven Check the

cookbook for specific instructions,

32

Convection Bro ag

Broiling is cooking food by
intense 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: Insert spatter shield onto
drip pan° Always use spatter shield
so fat drips into drip pan; otherwise

juices may become hot enough to

catch fire Aluminum foil may be
used to line drip pan and spatter
shield_ But, be CERTAIN to cut
openings in foil, to correspond with
slots in the spatter shield so fat
drips into pan below.

Step 3: Touch Convection BROIL
pad° "ENTER BROIL CODE"

flashes.

Step 4: Touch number pad 1 or 2

for desired Broil Code. Code 1
broils at 450°E Code 2 broils at
425°E Use Code I for thinner cuts

of meat. "ENTER BROIL TIME"

flashes on display but usually it is

recommended that you preheat to
pmpmgrammed broiling tempemtumo

(See Step 50

Step 5: Touch START pad, "PRE"

appears on the display in large

letters and "PRE:' "BROIL" and

] Forbroiling time and procedures, refer tochart in cookbook.

"CODE" are displayed in
small letters. When preheating is
completed, the oven will signal and
display "R_EADYY

Note: Oven will hold
preprogrammed temperature for

30 minutes and then shut off unless
you open the oven door.,

Step 6: Open the door. "HUt"
wilt appear on the display to

remind you the oven is hot and that
care should be taken when placing
food in the oven° Place food on

broil pan assembly_ Pull out metal
accesso_ rack to the stop position
mid set the broil pan on it. Carefully
push rack back into oven and close
the door°

Step 7."Close the oven door.

"ENTER BROIL TIME" will
appear on display.
Enter broiling time by touching

number pads in sequence, For 25
minutes, touch 2, 5, 0 and 0,

Step 8: Touch START pad. "BROIL"
and "TIME" show on display and
broiling time counts down.

Step 9: When broiling is completed,
oven signals and flashes "End:'
Oven, light and fan shut off,

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use aluminum foil to
line the drip pan and spatter

shield?
A. Yes, if you mold the foil

thorougl-dy to the spatter shield
and slit it to conform to the slots

in the shield. Slots permit proper
drainage of meat juices into drip

pan, minimizing smoking and

spattering and preventing possibility
of fire from overheated drippings.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use the spatter shield in
the pan?

A. Yes. Using the spatter shield

suspends the meat over the pan. As
the meat cooks, the ,juices fall into
the pan, thus keeping meat drier,
Juices are protected Toythe shield
and s_y 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 evaporam
Always salt after cooking. Turn
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to
escape. When broiling poultty 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 oven may be low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan assembly with food in
oven. Turn food only once during
broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

spatter shield to prevent meat
from sticking?

A. The spatter shield is designed to
reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent

meat sticking to the surface°
However, spraying the shield

lightly before cooking with a

vegetable cooking spray will make

cleanup easier_

The Exhaust Feature

METAL METAL

FILTER FILTER

COOKTOP/NtGHT LIGHT

The exhaust hood feature on your'
microwave oven is equipped with

two meta! filters which collect
glease. When the fan is opetated,

air is drawn up through the filters
and is then discharged through the
provided venting to the outside.
The hood also has a light for
illuminating the counter space°

When NIGHT LIGHT pad is
touched, the hood light operates
at a lower intensity for use as
a night light_

To remove grease filter, grasp the

"finger hold" on the filter and slide

to the rear.

Then pull filter downward and to
the front. The filter will drop out.

To replace grease filter, slide the

filter in the frame slot on the back

of the opening.

Pull filter upward and to the front
to lock into place.

To clean grease filter, soak, then
agitate filter in hot detergent
solution° Don't use ammonia or
other alkali because it will darken

metal. Light brushing can be used
to remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and remove moisture befoie

replacing Filters should be

cleaned at least once a month.
Never operate your hood without

the filter in place. In situations

where flaming might occur on
surfaces below hood, filter will
retard entry of flames into the unit°

35

Care of Your Oven

Your new microwave/convection

oven is a valuable appliance,
