●

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, possibly resulting in injury.

●

Use metal only as directed in
this book and the cookbook
provided with your microwave
oven. TV dinners may be
microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4” high; remove top foil cover
and return tray to box. When

using metal in the microwave
oven,

keep metal (other than

metal shelfi

at least 1 inch

away from sides of oven.

●

Cookware may become hot

because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the
cookware.

●

Sometimes, the glass cooking
tray can become too hot to
touch. Be

the tray during and after cooking.

●

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 33 for
instructions on how to clean the
inside of the oven.

●

Thermometer—Do

thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the
thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the
microwave oven.

●

Remove the temperature

careful when touching

not use a

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 and damage
oven walls.

c

Plastic cookware—Plastic

cookware designed for
microwave cooking is very
useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave-safe
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 cookware could
ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with
the cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.

●

When cooking pork,

follow

the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least

170°F.

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.

●

Do not boil eggs in a

microwave oven.

Pressure will
build up inside egg yolk and will
cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.

●

Foods with unbroken outer

“skin”

such as potatoes,
sausages, tomatoes, apples,

caution) should be pierced to

possibly resulting in injury.

Also,

plastic storage containers should
beat 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.

●

Hot foods and steam can
cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot
food, including popcorn bags,

cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct
steam away from hands and face.

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 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. 1 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
need to do?

A. To cook on a power level other

than High, first touch the TIME
COOK I &
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.

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”

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

temperatures
Less tender roasts should be

Questions & Answers

Q. If my food is not completely
reheated after using Auto
Reheat, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook in 30-second

increments.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

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

which shortens the reheating time
and leaves food too
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,

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 I & II, 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 I & 11.

Q. Would my plastic containers

with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Reheat?

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.

coo].

.Iarger

Cover

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

1

& 11 when

Questions & Answers

Q.

Why

does my oven
automatically 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
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 1 and power
level

10 for

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

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

A.

Most pudding
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook

is recommended.

Q. My scalloped potatoes were
not completely

removed the dish after Auto
Cook. What is wrong?

A.

lf

you prepared the sauce in the
oven prior to combining the sauce
with potatoes, there
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

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
crisp surface is desirable are cooked
best by Time Cook I & 11.

Q. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Auto Cook?

A. No, most types of plastic storage
dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight
fitting lids are not recommended
microwaving. Also, tight fitting
plastic lids may prevent adequate
steam from escaping and may keep
food from cooking properly during
Auto Cook.

Q.

1

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
noodles, potato chips and other such
foods do not have enough moisture.

Q.

May I use Auto Cook when I
