Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all cookware used in

your microwaveoven is suitable for microwaving.Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallictrim or glazewith a metallic

sheen can be used. Some cookware

is labeled “suitablefor rnicrowaving~’ If you are unsure, use this dish test:

Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup. Place in oven on or beside dish. Microwave 1-1%minutes at High. If waterbecomeshot, dish ismicrowave

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 fds require

stirring, rotating, or rearranging. Check your cookbook.

● 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.

Be sure your microwave

ovenis registered.

It is important that we know the location of your microwave oven should a ned occur for adjustments.

Yoursupplier is responsible for registering you as the owner.

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reversemy 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 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. Youmay have set the

oven to Defrost for 4 minutes,

Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then

Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case,

the ovenwouldDefrostfor 6 minutes

and Hold/Time 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’tdone. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due

to time or location many time cooking 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

andselectedmypowerlevel. When I 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. Tochange the power level,

touch the POWER LEVEL pad.

“ENTER POWER” flashes on the

display panel. Enter new number.

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

A. Yes.Toresume cooking,

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

Cooking byTemperature

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

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

“TEMP COOK/HOLD” takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically signals with four beeps when the food reaches the preset temperature. The Hold featurewillmaintainthis temperature for up to twelve hours or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

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

The TemperatureProbe

cookingTips

● Use a lower power level; it will

heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

. Be sure frozen food has been completelydefrostedbeforeinserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.

● Cover foods loosely for moisture

control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. I inserted the temperature probe, closed the door, touched TEMP COOK/HOLD and entered my desired food temperaturebut the temperature didn’tappear on the display.

A. Youmay have entered an

incorrect temperature. Any food temperature from 80° to 199”F. may be entered for TEMP COOK/ HOLD. Touch CLEAR/OFF and begin again.

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

TempCook? 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 on

the display after I touched the

STARTpad?

A. “PROBE” will flash if you

don’tseat the cable end of the probe

securely into the receptacle in the ovenwall 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.

AutomaticRoasting

AUTOROASTuses the temperature probe tocook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike TEMP COOK/HOLD, which uses a single power level, AU!lXlROAST 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 Roasteduntil specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved bytime, according to the cookbook which comes with your oven.

Preparing Roasts for AutoRoasting

Pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add 1/2cup waterto roast dish and cover with plastic wrap.

Place meat in ovenwith probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on ovenwall.

2. At 80”F., display switchesto showmeat’sinternal temperature.

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. Powerlevel 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2; power level 10cuts 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.

step 2: TouchMANUAL DEFROST. Display shows”: O“and “POWER 37 “ENTER DEF TIME” flashes.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time recommended in your cookbook. For example, touch 4 and MIN pad for 4 minutes.

Displayshows “4:00” and “POWER 37 “DEF TIME” flashes.

How to Change Pbwer lkvel

After setting defrosting time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

● For even defrosting, some foods

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

● Family-size, pre-packaged

frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safedish.

● Check your cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

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.Youmay open the door at

any time during microwaving. To , resume defrosting, close the door and press START.The ovenbegins operating if time is left on timer. If not, reset timer.

How to Use the Double DutyTMShelf

● Do not store or c~k with

shelf on floor of oven. Product

damage may result.

● Use potholders when handling

metal shelf and cookware. Theymay be hot.

● Do not store microwave

browning dish on metal shelf.

The wire shelf is specifically

designed for added capacity heating

and reheating in your microwave oven. Nowmore than one food may

be heated or reheated and ready to

serve at the same time.

When microwavingwith the oven

shelf, some techniques will differ

from the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly (shown on the next page). Cookware size is

important; select from among the

suggestions below. Also, food size

should be considered; foodsover

3% inches high, or 3pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the ovenshelf, following cookbook directions.

Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Beforeplacing food in the dishes, check to seethat they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is microwavesafe.

Cookware for heating or reheating

include 1cup measuring cup,

8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch

loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Leftoversmay be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls or divided plates.

Positioning the Shelf

Toposition the DOUBLE DUTYTM shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelfsupport guidesonto the support guides located on each side ofthe ovenin the rear.

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

When properly positioned, the shelf

should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back or sidewall ofthe 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 ovenwalls.

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 makecookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

Use waxpaper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may addtoo much height to dish.

Page 16

HOWtoUse the Double DutyTMShelf (co.tinu~)

Howto Heat or Reheat Similar Types of Fwd

Two plates of leftovers maybe

reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwaveat High (10)for 2 to 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue

heating, if necessary, until hot.

Reheating two casseroles (height should be less than 3%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. Microwaveat High (10) reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Several

small bowls of leftovers maybe heated in the same way,stirring and reversingpositions after half of time.

llvo frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV

dinnem (10to El oz. each) are

both ready to serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one comer 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 8 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 8 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.

Howto Reheat Several Different Types of Foods T~ether

When heating severaldifferent types of foodtogether, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the ovenfloor, while foods which areonly warmed should beplacedon the shelf. This isbecause microwave energy enters the oven from the

bottom only. Also, it is important to

remember that foods absorb microwaveenergy at different rates. Rates canbe affectedby the sizeof

the fbod, anditsstartingtemperature.

Because ofthe varying rates, you mayneed to start reheating a large or dense food a fewminutes ahead oftime, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one ofthe 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 atHigh (10).Todetermine

heating times, add times forall

foodstogether. (Seeheating guide in cookbook.) After half oftime, stir or rearrange foods (do not reversepositions). Check foods (especially those on ovenfloor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Place on floor, large or dense foods which need the most heating,

such as leftoverfried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover

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

I%ppopcorn on the microwave oven floor only. Popcorn placed on the ovenshelf will not pop properly. Use a special microwavepopcorn accessory or popcorn labeled for use in microwaveovens.

Care and Cleaning

Yournew 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 fewminutes 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 ovenwalls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

BE CERTAINPOWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTOF THIS OVEN.

Howto Cleanthe Inside

Walls and floor. Some spatters can

be removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a

sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN

CLEANER ON ANY PARTOF YOUR MICROWAVEOVEN.

Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinsethoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO N~ USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANINGPOWDERSORSTEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish: If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon Ami” brand cleanser.

After using Bon Ami@brand cleanser, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions on can. Do not use Bon Ami” brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoiddropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon afterusing as possible. Toclean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or wash in dishwasher.)

DOUBLE DUTYTMshelf. 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 shelf in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Clean the Outside

Case. Clean the outside of your

oven with soap and damp cloth, rinse with damp cloth and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.

Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces 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.

Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and wash with damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy water may be used, but be certain to rinse with damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord into outlet.

Oven Lamp Replacement

First unplug the oven. Then remove lampcompartmentcoverbyremoving

screw which holds cover in place. Cover is located on the side of the outer case.

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

@lQ

‘\

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 circumstances

cut or removethe third (ground) prong from the power cord.

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 CONNECIYON maybe made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local hardware stores.

Fig. 2

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: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould 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 NOI’ USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

BEFOREUSE

Usage situations where appliance’spowercord will be disconnected frequently.

not use an adapter plug in these

situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Youshould have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Use of ExtensionCords

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and maybe used if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)the marked electrical

rating of the cord set or extension cord should beat least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

If you do use an extension cord with your microwave oven, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when oven is in use. Cook times maybe longer as well.

If possible, it is generally easier to work from the inside of the cabinet. Use the instructions applicable to

the approach you select.

Instructions for Drilling

from Inside

If you cannot drill from the inside, go to “Instructions for Drilling

From Bottom?

● If your cabinet is less than 12”

deep, cut off the front edge of Template 2 the amount by which the cabinet depth is less than 12”. Use the template cut lines as a guide. Place Template 2 inside the cabinet. Cut around the door jam and the corners, if necessary, to make the template fit. (The front edge of template must be even with the front edge of the cabinet.) Use tape to keep it in place.

Note: For cabinets with a recessed

shelfyou must measure the thickness of the front rail and cut that amount off the front edge of Template 2 using the template cut lines as a guide. This will allow Template 2 to lay flat on the shelf. (Fig. 9)

● If you have a partition in the

cabinet, you must do the following:

1. Cut Template 2 into two pieces to fit each side of the partition.

2. Tapeone piece of Template 2 inside the cabinet, making sure that the front edge is even with the front edge of cabinet.

3. TapeTemplate 1on the front of the cabinet so that the arrow is aligned with the hole center line on Template 2. (Fig. 10)

Fig. 10

40 Position remaining piece of Template2 inside the cabinet and align the hole center lines with the arrowson Template1so that distance from right hole center to left hole center measures the distance indicated on the template. (You will have to cut excess paper from the middle of Template 2 to make it lay flat.) (Fig. 11)
