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 microwaves 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

sealed-

in 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 cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. Or you can cook by temperature, by these methods, using the temperature probe to determine the doneness by the internal temperature 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

(AU~

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.

Auto Defrost automatically sets the

defrosting time and power levels

for you. You choose the appropriate

code number from 1 to 3 from the

food you are defrosting, then enter

the food weight in pounds and

tenths of a pound and touch Start.

The oven calculates the defrosting

time and changes power levels

during defrosting to give even

defrosting results.

The Auto Start Timer lets you

Automatic Microwave Cooking

Microwaving with the Auto Cook setting offers especially convenient shortcut cooking for many foods. There’s no guesswork about cooking times, no need to look up suggested times in the cookbook. Instead, a sophisticated sensing device actually detects the steam which escapes from cooking food, and automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time for various types and amounts of food.

Cooking containers must be covered during Auto Cook, so this feature is best used for foods which you wish to steam or to retain moisture. Eight Auto Cook codes let you select a cycle ideal for many frequently prepared foods. When oven senses the steam, the oven signals so that you can stir or rotate the food as directed. Once steam has been detected, the oven automatically begins counting down the remaining cooking time and adjusts power levels as needed.

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 on pages

10-16 of this book.

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can be Auto

securely, and do not open door during Auto cycle. When oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended in recipe or guide on pages 17 and 18.

Defrosting is one of the most useful microwave functions of your oven, thawing foods quickly, but gently. With no lengthy defrosting required, meal planning is easier than ever! You can prepare single servings or whole meals ahead of time and freeze, then thaw and heat them in just minutes.

Your new oven can even be programmed to Defrost, then Time Cook for complete freezer-to-table meal preparation—automatically ! Refer to page 8 of this book or to the cookbook for cookware and food preparation tips and suggestions.

Questions and Answers

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

Cookbook times are averages, and defrosting time required can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time given in the cookbook. If your food is not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset the oven and adjust the time for additional defrosting.

Step 2:

enter defrosting time. For example, touch 8, 0, 0 for 8 minutes. The display shows automatically set in your oven.

Microwave Time Cooking

—

Time cooking is a familiar method of cooking food for a predetermined length of time. You will find that cooking with microwave energy takes a great deal less time than conventional cooking methods. And your microwave oven, unlike many other ovens, turns itself off automatically after the preset time has elapsed.

You can even program your oven to Microwave Cook by time in two stages! Cook at one power level for a desired length of time; then the oven automatically changes to a different power cooking until the food is done. Check the cookbook for foods requiring two power levels.

3: For the second cooking

I set my oven to Microwave COOK by time for the period in the recipe, but the food wasn’t done at the end of that time. What happened?

A. Since house electrical power

may vary, many microwave time cooking recipes give you a time

range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for the minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook a

little longer if necessary.

Microwave Temperature Cooking

Temperature cooking uses a special food thermometer to

measure the internal temperature of food as it cooks. For many foods this is the best test of doneness. Heating or reheating foods accurately to the desired serving temperature is easy.

Temperature cooking takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to Hold after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that

temperature until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

Convection

During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. Because the heated air is kept permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in conventional oven cooking.

Q. Is it necessary to place a glass dish on the oven floor when Combination cooking?

A. No. For best roasting results,

place meat in a glass dish. Place dish on the oven rack.

Remember:

. Check page 8 of this book and

your cookbook for correct cookware when Combination cooking.

For best roasting and browning results, whole roasts and poultry should be cooked in a dish placed

directly on the oven rack.

●

Place meat in a glass dish on a trivet to collect juices and prevent spattering. See Convection preheat instructions on page 24.

. Some recipes call for preheating.

Combination Temperature Cooking

With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe. Four combination codes

are shown on the guide on page 26 to make it easy to program microwave power level and oven temperature with only one entry. The probe makes it simple to cook to the exact degree of doneness desired, by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This function is exactly like combination time cooking except you set internal food temperature desired instead of cooking time.

Auto Roast is a combination function which is similar to combination temperature cooking, using both microwave and convection cooking conjunction with the temperature probe. However, the Auto Roast feature eliminates most of the steps necessary to program combination temperature cooking. Instead, you can set the entire cooking program by selecting just one Auto Roast code.

The food is placed in a glass dish on a trivet for cooking during Roast. To select a code from 1 to 8 see Auto Roast Guide on this page.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like legs and wings often overcook before the rest of the bird is thoroughly cooked. How can I prevent this?

Thin, uneven portions of poultry may be shielded with foil during cooking. Do not allow foil to touch shelf or oven sides, arcing may occur.

alumin-um

Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very accurate time it didn’t. What happened?

A. If the temperature probe is

positioned touching fat or bone, an

inaccurate reading may result. Be sure to place the probe in solid muscle, usually the thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry, or in the center of a meat loaf or casserole.

Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in the guides to reach the desired internal temperature. Why?

If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time than meat which has been merely refrigerated. Times shown in the guides are usually for meats that are refrigerator temperature.

Questions and Answers

May I use aluminum foil to

line the drip pan and spatter shield?

A. Yes,

thoroughly to the spatter shield and slit it to conform to the slots in the shield. Slots permit proper drainage of meat juices into drip pan, minimizing smoking and spattering and preventing possibility of fire from overheated drippings.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use the spatter shield in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the spatter shield

suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the shield and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before

broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices

and allows them to evaporate.

Always

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power

In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan assembly with

oven. Turn food only once during broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

spatter shield to prevent meat from sticking?

A. The spatter shield is designed to

reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking to the surface. However, spraying the shield lightly before cooking with a vegetable cooking spray will make
