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.

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 will 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 instruction. You may have set the

oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold

for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.

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 food wasn’t done. What happened?

A. Since house power

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 food 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 I & 11 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 cook on a power level other than High, first touch the TIME COOK pad and set the desired cooking time. Then touch the POWER LEVEL pad. “POWER

10” appears on the display panel. Enter new power level number and touch START.

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

A. Yes.

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

To resume cooking,

Cooking by Temperature

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

Use TEMP COOK/HOLD to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The TIME COOK I &II setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.

“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.

Note: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.

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.

Questions and Answers

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

A. Yes.

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 on

the display 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.

Auto Reheat

Auto Reheat lets you touch just 3 pads to bring previously prepared foods to serving temperature. With many leftovers, there is no need to look up reheating times in the cookbook or to rely on guesswork.

By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food heats, this

feature automatically adjusts the oven’s heating time to various types and amounts of pre-cooked

food.

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

Foods Recommended

for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating should not be Auto Reheated. It is best to use Time Cook.

Easy to Use

Simply touch

desired CODE, and START.

Keep Door Closed

Do not open the oven door while the words “ROOM T“ or “CHILL” are displayed—steam escaping from the oven can affect reheating performance. If the door is opened, close the door and touch START immediately.

Containers and covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good reheating 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

lids—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause poor reheating results.

. Match the amount of food to the size of the containers at least half full for best results.

● 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.

Q. Ifm~

Amwers

food is not completely

r;heated after using the ;uggested

code, what should I do? A. Use Time Cook I and power

level 10

for 30-second increments

until the desired temperature is

reached.

What if I don’t fully cover the

dish in Auto Reheat? A. Oven senses steam too quictiy,

which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of

food make a difference when using Auto Reheat?

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. Are there any other foods which are reheated best using Time Cook, rather than Auto Reheat?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are reheated best by Time Cook.

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

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.

May I use Auto Reheat when I am reheating many foods in more than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because of different food

densities, attention needed during reheating, and food amounts, it is best to use Time Cook when reheating many foods.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls. 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 escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Would my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Reheating?

Questions and Answers

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 10 cuts 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.

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.

Would

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

A. No, most types of plastic

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.

Place on floor large or dense foods

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

WARNING-Improper use of the grounding plug can-result

in a risk of electric shock.

PREFERRED METHOD

Fig. 1

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any cut or remove the third prong from the power cord.

INSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE

Use of Adapter Plugs

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a which is available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Caution:

ground terminal to the wall

receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is

insulated, and the wall receptacle

is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been

esmblished.
