Your new microwave oven does so.many things that you’
find this new “verb” handy. Hyou take a look at the Cook
Book, you’ll see the verb “microwave” often. sOmetimeSit
means to bake. Sometimes, to roast, It’s also used to mean
reheating, warming, even defrosting. In other words, all the
things your new microwave oven can do.
Microwaving is a whole new world of cooking. We think
you’ll like it.

Cookingversatility.Cook by time, by temperature, with automatic slow cooking, or with
temperature hold, Your oven lets you tailor
the cooking to the food,
Fast, familiar cooking by time. You’ll find
most of your new microwave meals will prob-
ably be cooked by time. Usetime cooking for
most casseroles, vegetables, appetizers,
snacks, and small, individual foods, like potatoes, hot dogs, hamburgers and meatballs.

thermometer tells you the internal temperature of food . . .
Ideal for big roasts, turkey, and other foods
that need a specific temperature for proper
doneness.
Temperature cooking takes the guesswork
out of reheating, too. You can cook unusual
shapes, sizes and amounts of food without
the risk of overcooking.
The automatic simmering feature brings out

the automatic simmer feature, the oven
doesn’t shut off automatically, as it does with
time cooking and temperature cooking. It sim-
mers slowly until you’re ready for the food.
Ternp i-fold lets you hold foods at perfect
serving temperature. No need to let foods
lose their “just-cooked” freshness. Hold them
at the most appetizing serving temperature
for latecomers.
Defrost a turkey the afternoon of the feast.
The special Defrost setting is designed especially for bulky foods.

Microwave more than one way, without re-

time settings. Or you can delay-and-cook with

FOR PERSONALSAFETY, T14iSAPPLiANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The
power cord of this appliance isequipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall
receptacle (Fig, 1) to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
A, USAGE Situations WHERE APPLlANCE’S POWER CORD WiLL BE DISCONNECTED INFREQLJEN.TLY
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the us? of an adapter plug. Iiowever,
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded twoprong wall receptacle bythe use of a UL listed
adapter which is available at most local hard-
ware stores (Fig, 2)0 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.
CALITiQN: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. The customer 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 established.
B. USAGE Situations WHERE Appli-
ances POWER CORD WiLL BE DIS-
CONNECTED FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and lead
to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a threeprong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.

4. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when used as directed. Metal trays may be used
for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the
microwave oven, keep
fromsides of microwave oven.
5. Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid dam-
age to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident
the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is
done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty
t all times–it saves energy and prolongs life of the

6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food, This is especially
true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and
handles of the u~ensil. Pot holders may be needed to
handle the utensil.
7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to
touch. Be careful touching the shelf during and after
cooking.
8. Do not use any thermometer ifl food you are
microwaving unless that thermometer is designed or
recommended for use in the microwave oven.
9, Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using it to cook with. If YOUleave the probe
inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid,

arcing in the oven, and damage oven walls.

plastic bags or plastic wrap tightiy covering containers should be slit, pricked or vented as otherwise directed in Cookbook. if they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking, resulting in
injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at
least partiaily uncovered because they form such a
tight seal.
17. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave
ovens. Because of the heat generated without these
precautions, the container could catch fire.
18. Plastic Utensils–Plastic utensils designed for mi-
crowave cooking are very useful, but should be used
carefully. ,Evenrn~crowaveplastic 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 utensils could ignite. For these
reasons: 1) Use microwave 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.
19. Do not use your microwave oven to dry news-
papers. If overheated, they can catch fire.
20. Use of Shelf Accessory*.To position shelf so that
it is securely “seated,” insert into the oven cavity
above shelf supports and completely to the back oven
wall. Drop into place so that the recessed areas are
over the shelf supports. To remove shelf, lift shelf
above supports and then pull forward and out. Do not
place food on shelf unless it is securely “seated” on

For many foods, temperature control is important. That’s why your microwave oven comes
with a removable automatic temperature sensor. You can microwave foods like chicken,
turkey, pork and rare roast beef to the temperature you want. The oven shuts off automatically when the food’s done. No guesswork!
The temperature probe is handy when cooking for children. too. Because you can control
the temperature of each portion individually.
Making soup? Serve the children theirs at a
mild 130°,
soup at 170°.
Frozen foods aren’t recommended to use

press START again, and continue cooking.
If you wait to hear the signal sound and find
the probe has slipped out of the food, the
food could be overcooked. Also, the oven

If you give the oven instructions it can’t

T’empHold is an especially handy feature of
your microwave oven, It lets you hold foods at
serving temperature, keeping them “just-
cooked” hot and fresh,
With the TernpHold feature:
1. Youcan select a holding Temperaturebe-
tween90° and200”F,
2. Youcan select any PowerLevel youwant.
Because foods tend to stay moist and tender
during microwaving, Temp l-told is the perfect
way to keep vegetables, casseroles, and even
scrambled eggs piping hot and ready to
serve. Roasts, ham and pouitry, too, may be
kept juicy and table ready with this feature.
You can even warm up leftovers!
if you want, you can set your oven to automatically defrost, hold, time or temperature cook,
and then Temp Hold. You must be sure, when
you time cook, that the temperature probe is
placed in the food before starting the microwave oven.
Temp Hold keeps a pre-set temperature level
inside the food for as long as you like. If your
oven does not have an automatic simmer setting, you can achieve the same flavorful, siowcooked tenderness by setting the Temp Hold
cycle to 180° and medium (5) power level.

s Solid (not rolled) roasts may be held below
150° for upto 2 hours.
However, during the microwave roasting
process, a great amount of heat is stored in
the roast. Keeping the roast in the warm
oven cavity during TEMP/HOLD can cause

heat storage, it is not possibie to hold roasts
at a rare degree of doneness,
His suggested that you first remove the roast
from the oven and let it stand, uncovered, for
about 10 to 15 minutes before returning to
TEMP/HOL13.or, if you know before cooking
that you intend to hold a solid roast at serving

Read the book to be certain you understand
how the oven operates. Review “All these
things are normal with your microwave oven”
on page 3. In several other locations in the
book there are points to check on how to determine if you
need service.
U no cooking takes place after
START button is pressed:
If signal doesn’t sound: Make sure power is
on. Check first to see that the 3-prong plug is
inserted firmly into a proper receptacle. Is the
wall receptacle working properly or has it
failed and won’t work until a fuse is replaced?
You can check that easily at the control box.
Check to be certain the door is securely
closed. If a dish touches the door when the
door seems closed, it actually may not be
firmly closed. Unless the door is closed to engage the safety interlocks, the microwave
energy cannot come into the oven.
If signal sounds: Check setting directions. If
you’re using the temperature probe, make
sure cable end is securely “seated” into oven
receptacle. With TEMP COOK, make sure
temperature setting falls between 90° and
200°. Make sure temperature setting is higher
than actual temperature of food in oven. (If
food has reached or exceeds temperature
setting, oven won’t microwave because the
temperature you set has already been
reached.)
