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 the hold time and the amount of cooking 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.

Cooting by

Tempemture

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.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of the food; it must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To use the probe properly, directions on page 12.

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?

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,

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 different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

Questiom 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?

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 food a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads

and selected my power level. When

touched START, however, my

oven didn’t come on. Why not? A. The TIME COOK I & II 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 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.

Q. I opened the door to check on

the popcorn and “Error” appeared on the display. Why?

A. The Popcorn program first

detects steam and then switches to Time Cook. If you open the door while “POP” is displayed, “Error” will appear. Close the door, touch CLEAR/OFF and begin again. You may open the door when “End” appears on display.

Auto Roast

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 comes with your oven.

Pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add 1/2 cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap. Allow room for probe when covering.

Note: By touching the ROAST pad during cooking, the meat’s internal temperature will be

displayed. (“COOL” will be displayed until meat reaches When pad is released, doneness code reappears on display.

Que~iom

Amwem

Q. If my food is not completely reheated after using the suggested

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

level 10 for 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto Reheat?

A. Oven senses steam too quic~y,

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

~me

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?

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 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.

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

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 heat properly during Auto Reheat.

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 in about 1/2;

Power

level

10 cuts the total

defrosting time to approximately

1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Why don’t the defrosting times in the cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages.

Questiom

Q. Why cut off after the Auto cycle when using Auto Cook 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 I and power

level 10 for a few minutes until

completion.

Do d

require a standing period after

cooking with Auto Cook?

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.

What if I don’t fully cover the

which shortens the and leaves food undercooked. Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of

Q. My scalloped 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.

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 may keep food from cooking properly during Automatic Cooking.

How to Reheat Several Different

~pes

of Foods

Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the shelf, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the oven floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top 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 shelf 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 floor those foods which need only be warmed,

such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

the oven shelf will not pop properly.

Use a special microwave popcorn accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

Care and

Cleani~

Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following

these rules:

● Keep your 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.

● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils

on your oven. The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

●

Don’t remove the mode stirrer cover at the top of the oven (see illustration on page 5). You will damage the oven.
