if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

~ See door surface cleaning

instructions on page 30.

● This appliance should be ser- -

viced only by qualfled seMce personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examimtion,

repair or adjustment.

● As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when used by-children.

● TO reduce the risk of fire in t

oven cavity

-Do not overcook food. Care-

fully attend appliance if paper,

plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

-Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

- Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—Paper towels and napkins, wax

paper. Recycled paper products

can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

-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.

-Do not operate the oven in microwave or combination modes while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fwe. If

(continued)

When using the convection or

combination cooking functions,

both the exterior and interior of oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food or accessories such as oven racks, ceramic oven tray or probe.

c Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars-may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

o Donl defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles; especially carbomted ones. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as directed in

Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful when

used as shown in Cookbook. TV dinners maybe cooked in

metal trays but when using shelf they must be replaced in their box. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keep metal

(except for shelf accessory) at least l-inch away fkom sides of oven.

● 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 utensil. Potholders maybe needed to handle the utensil.

● Sometimes, the oven floor can

become too hot to touch. Be

careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

● Do not use regular cooking or

oven thermometers when cooking by microwave or comb-tion. The metal and mercury in these

thermometers could cause “arcing” and possible damage to oven.

a Remove the temperature 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.

o Plastic Utensils-Plastic utensils designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub-

jected to short periods of over-

cooking. 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.

o When cooking pork follow our directions exactly and always . cook the meat to at least 17(P. 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.

c Boiling eggs (in and out of

shell) is not recommended for

microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

~ Foods with unbroken outer

‘skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs

or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Q “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, 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.

G Use of the shelf accessory. (See

your Cookbook for proper use.)

- Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

-Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use potholders when handling

the shelf and utensils. They may be hot.

-Do not use microwave brown-

ing dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat. Use of shelf with Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

What Your Oven Can Do

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options. Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The movement of the micro-

waves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than conventional methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cooking utensil or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealedin flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Your new oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking or combination cooking to TIME COOK. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. Or you can Temperature Cook by these methods, using the temperature probe to determine the doneness by the internal tem-

perature of the food. This method takes the guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off automatically when the food reaches the desired temperature.

The Automatic Cooking Control (AUTO COOK) feature does your microwave cooking for you. It’s easy and convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

AUTO ROAST is a combination cooking function that uses the temperature probe. You simply select from 8 Auto Roast Codes, and the oven automatically adjusts power level, oven temperature and internal food temperature to cook the

food the way you want it. A Delay Start/Timer lets you pro-

gram the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home. It also serves as a convenient kitchen timer.

The following chart shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection and combination cooking.

Cookware Tips

Convection Cooking

METAL PANS are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crusts.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes

due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers are recom-

mended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven rack, damaging the utensil, the rack or the oven.

YES

(Utensils with

no metal trim)

YES

NOTE: For more information on the proper use of utensils

in your oven, see your Microwave Guide and Cookbook.

YES

HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware (safe to 450”F.) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

YES

(Utensils with

no metal trim)

YES *

1Some recipes may call for cooking on this oven rack, but generally microwaved foods should be cooked directly on the ceramic tray. See Cookbook for specific instructions.

21t is suggested that ceramic tray be removed during convection cooking, since it absorbs heat and reduces energy efficiency. If boil-over occurs, there will be fewer items to clean up.

Automatic Microwave Cooking Recipe Guide

Automatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic electronic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The charts and recipes in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a specified cooking time or a selected finished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook. . . trying to convert old recipes for microwave cooking. . .or just

resorting to guesswork. This control method works on an entirely different basis—with a special electronic sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can automatically set the cor-

rect cooking time and maintain the proper power level for different

types and amounts of food.

NOTE: Oven will not accept “Auto

Cook Code” if the oven is hot. If the words “Auto Cook Delay” appear, you must cool the oven

before using Auto Cook or you may choose to use Time or Temperature Microwave Cooking.

Easy to Use

Simply touch two control pads— AUTO COOK and the desired Code number—and then START. A chart on the oven contol panel

gives a complete list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed and then signals,

and displays time counting down. During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but when oven signals, most foods should be turned, stirred, or rotated. Check the Automatic Cooking Chart for suggestions.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results. Containers should match in size to the size of the food being

cooked. Coverings such as plastic wrap secured on all sides, the lid that came with the container, or microwave-safe plastic domes are ideal. For examples of containers and coverings, see page 8 and the following recipe section of this book.

Foods Recommended

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-

roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can

be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the food, cover securely, and do not open door during AUTO cycle. When oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended in recipe or chart on pages 17 and 18.

Foods Not Recommended

Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or

which require constant attention, or adding ingredients during cooking should be microwaved by TIME COOK. For foods that microwave best using temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with TEMP COOK, CONVECTION or COMBINATION cooking.

How to Adapt Microwave Casserole Recipes

Use the following step-by-step

instructions and tips when adapting

your casserole recipes for Automatic Cooking.

‘1: Select recipes with precooked

ingredients that do not require adding ingredients at different stages during cooking or recipes that require extra attention, stirring or rotating. “

2: Use microwave-safe containers

that are appropriate in size to the food amount. Use 3 qt. containers or smaller.

3: For saucy casseroles, cover container with lid or plastic wrap. (No vents.) For cheese or crumb-topped casseroles, remove cover after oven signals and add topping, then continue cooking uncovered.

4: Allow precooked ingredients or

hot sauces to cool slightly before adding other ingredients.
