the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

. U5e meal only as directed in cookbook.

Foil strips as used on meat roasts are helpful when used as shownin cookbook.

TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil traysless than 3/4”high; removetop foil coverand return

tray to box. When usingmetal in microwaveoven, keep metal

(except

shelf) at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

● Cooking utensils may become

hot

because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders maybe neededtohandletheutensil.

● Sometimes, the oven floor

canbecome too hot to touch. Be carefid touching the floor during and afier cooking.

● Foodscooked in liquids (such

as pasta) maytend to boil over more rapidlythan foodscontaining less moisture. Should this occur, referto page46 for instructionson howto clean the insideofthe oven.

● Do not use a thermometer in

Foodswith unbroken outer

~~skin9’such as potitoes, sausages,

tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (seeprevious caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

● Plastic Utensils-Plastic utensils

designed for microwavecooking are very useful, but should be used carefidly. Even microwave 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 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.

● “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in cookbook. If they

not, plastic could burst during

are 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, removecoveringcadblly and direct steam away from hands and fkce.

● Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent bums from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwaveoven.

)

● Use proper power level as

recommended and DO N~ OVERCOOK.

● Do not operate the oven while

empty. If by accident the oven

should run empty a minute or two,

no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times—saves energy and also ensures good, long-term life of oven,

● Use cookware of medium weight

aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and

flat bottoms which completely cover the heated portion of the surface unit.

● Cook fresh vegetables with a

minimum amount of water in a covered pan.

● Watch foods when bringing them

quickly to cooking temperatures at high heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.

● Use residual heat with surface

cooking whenever possible. For example, when cooking eggs in the shell, bring water and eggs to boil, then turn to OFF position and cover with lid to complete the cooking.

● Always turn surface unit OFF

before removing utensil.

● Use correct heat for cooking task ...

high heats to start cooking (if time allows, do not use high heat to start), medium high—quick brownings,

medium—slow frying, low—finish cooking most quantities, simmer— double boiler heat, finish cooking, and special for small quantities.

● Preheat the oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorilyy without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary,

keep an eye on the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out.

● Always turn oven OFF before

removing food, c During baking, avoid frequent

door openings, Keep door open as

short a time as possible if it is

opened.

. For self-cleaning oven, be sure

to wipe up excess spillage before self-cleaning operation.

● Cook complete oven meals

instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose ) foods that cook at the same

temperature in approximately the same time.

● Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

● When boiling water for tea or

coffee, heat only the amount needed. It is not economical to boil a container full of water for only one or two

Installing YourRange

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range

on this type of flooring, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions

be followed. The range should be installed on

a sheet of plywood (or similar

material) as follows: When the

jloor covering ends at the front of

the range, the area that the range

will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will then allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

Leveling the Range

Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving?

If you are unsure, use this dish test: Measure 1cup water in a glass cup. Place in oven on or beside dish. Microwave 1-1% minutes at High (10). If water becomes hot, dish is microwave 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 foods require

stirring, rotating, or rearranging. Check your cookbook for specific

instructions.

When Power is Connected to the Oven

The panel displays all of the oven functions. After 15seconds, all lights disappear and “RESET” appears in the display. Touch CLOCK pad and set the clock and then touch START pad.

If power is disrupted at any time, the above sequence reoccurs and you must reset the clock after touching CLEAR/OFF.

Leveling screws are located on

each corner of the base of the

range. By removing the bottom drawer you can level the range to an uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver.

To remove drawer, pull drawer out all the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace, insert glides at back of drawer beyond stop on range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert easily. Let front of drawer down, then push into close.

● 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.

Defrosting by Time

The Time Defrost setting is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.

Use the Time Def setting to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners The Auto Defrost setting is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

● Power level 3 is automatically set

for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility.

● See your cookbook for defrosting

help. To become better acquainted with

the defrost function, defrost a 1O-OZ. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place package of frozen strawberries in the oven and close door. Be sure package contains no metal.

Step 4: Touch START. “MICRO DEF TIME” shows and time counts down on display, When cycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes “End~’ then automatically shuts off.

Step 5: Turn package over, close door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of defrosting time and touch START.

Step 6: When oven signals and flashes “End~’ open door, remove package and separate strawberries to finish defrosting.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is

letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in 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. Power level 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: Touch TIME DEF. Display shows “: O“ and “POWER 3:’ “ENTER MICRO DEF TIME” flashes.

Step 3: Select one half of the total

defrosting time recommended in your cookbook. For example, touch

4,0 and Ofor 4 minutes. Display

shows “4:00” and “POWER 3:’ “MICRO DEF TIME” flashes. If you wish to change power level, touch POWER LEVEL pad and

then new number.

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

● Family-size, pre-packaged

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

● For even defrosting, some foods

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

● 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. You may open the door at

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

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 vmies due to

time or location, many 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 and selected my power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK pad

must be touched before touching the number pads and START.

Q. I want to cook on a power level other than 10 (High). What do I need to do?

A. To change 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. To resume cooking,

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

Questions and Answers

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

Temp Cook? 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

after I touched the START pad? A. “PROBE” will flash if you

don’t seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle in the oven wall 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.

Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.

cookingTips

● Use a lower power level; it will

heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

● Be sure frozen food has been

completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.

s Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick, even heating.

Page 14

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 Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook which came with your oven.

2. At 80”F., display switches to

show meat’s internal temperature.

Pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add 1/2 cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap.

Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roast on trivet in microwave safe dish. Insert probe horizontally into the center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the food or top or sides of the oven. Cover with wax paper.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe

firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

How to Auto Roast Beef to Medium

Automatic Cooking

The AUTO COOK feature may be used to eliminate your need to look up cooking time in the cookbook or guess how long to set cooking time,

By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food microwaves, this feature automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Because most cooking containers must be covered during automatic cooking, this feature is best with foods that you want to steam or retain moisture. See page 21 for containers and covers recommended for automatic cooking.

Note: Use of the metal Double Duty’” shelf with Automatic Cooking is N(YI’recommended.

Easy to Use

Foods Recommended

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

Foods Not Recommended

Simply touch three control pads— AUTO COOK, desired CODE, and START. The word “AUTO” appears on the display and the sensor is activated to sense steam from food.

Keep Door Closed

Do not open the oven door while the word “AUTO” is displayed— steam escaping from the oven can affect cooking performance. If the door is opened, the word “ERROR” appears. Close the door and touch START immediately.

Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods that require addition of ingredients during cooking, and foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after cooking should not be Auto Cooked. It is best to Time Cook them.

Foods that microwave best using the temperature probe should be Temp Cooked or Auto Roasted.

}

Page 19

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic coolchw codes 1 through 9 are desi~ned to give you

easy automatic results with a number of foods.

Code 1, designed for reheating foods quickly, turns the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods.

When codes 2 through 9 are selected, the oven determines how much additional cooking time is needed after steam has been sensed, automatically switches to MICRO TIME COOK, signals, and the word “AUTO” on the display is replaced by countdown numbers indicating remaining cooking time. When the signal is heard, the oven door may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.

A guide behind the oven door lists

cooking codes for frequently prepared

fresh or uncooked foods and

appropriate codes are recommended

in the recipes and cooking guide on

pages 22 through 29.

Example:

Word “AUTO” shows on display, indicating steam sensor is activated.

DO N~ OPEN DOOR. OPENING DOOR MAY AFFECT COOKING PERFORMANCE.

Beep sounds when steam is sensed and “AUTO” is replaced by cook time. Rotate or stir food. if necessary. When done, oven beeps tind stops, and displays “End”.

HowtoAdjustAUIO COOK Codes To Suit YourTaste

Touch number pads 4 and 1 in that

order, “COOK” and “CODE 4“ are displayed and “START”

flashes.

Touch START. “AUTU COOK” and “CODE 2“ show on display,

DO NOT OPEN DOOR until first oven signal, then rotate dish 1/2 turn if necessary. Close door and touch START to finish cooking.

Place covered food in oven. Touch AU’10 COOK pad. “AUTO COOK” appears on display and “ENTER CODE” flashes.

Touch number pad for desired code.

“COOK” and “CODE 2“ shows and “START” flashes. Touch START.

By simply adding a 1 after any AUTO COOK code number from 2 through 9, you can set the oven to cook for 20% less time than the code would regularly provide.

For example, if code 4 cooks your seafood more done than you like it, set code 41 next time and you’ll get 20% shorter cooking time.

If you want a longer cooking time than a code provides, add a 9 after the code.

For the seafood in the example above, code 49 would provide 20% longer cooking time than the

regular code 4 would provide.

Example:

Touch AUTU COOK pad. “AUTO COOK” is displayed and “ENTER CODE” flashes.

Questions & Answers

Q. Why does my oven automatically cut off after the Auto cycle when using Auto Cook Control Code 1

when it does not for other settings? A. When using Code 1, there is no

second phase of minutes counting

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 I and Power

Level 10for a few minutes until

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 you let the vegetables stand for up to 5 minutes depending on size and density of pieces. This standing time also enhances the overall

flavor and appearance of most vegetables.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto Cook?

A. Oven senses steam too quickly

which shortens the cooking time thus leaving undercooked food. Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when using Auto Cook?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger

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. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water when using Auto Cook?

A. Yes. Add water as recommended

on guide to the vegetables and cover well for even, complete cooking.

Q. Should 1 use Auto Cook to cook pudding or sauces?

A. Most pudding and sauce recipes

require stirring many times during cooking; therefore, Time Cook is

recommended.

Q. My scalloped potatoes were not completely cooked when I removed the dish after Auto Cook. What is wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have been 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 oven. Also, starting Auto Cook

with hot foods creates steam in the

oven too soon, and decreases the

first sensing cycle.

Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Cooking?

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 cook properly during Automatic Cooking.

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

Q. May I use Auto Cook when I am cooking many foods in more than one dish or casserole?

A. No, because of different food

densities, attention needed during ..; cooking, and food amounts, it is best to use Time Cook when

cooking many foods.

Q. Are there any other foods which are best Time Cooked, rather than Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are cooked best by Time Cook.

Automatic Cooking Containers & Covers

‘i”Containers and covers

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results.

● Always use microwave-safe

containers and cover them with

lids, wax paper or plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put it to the test described in your cookbook.

● Never use tight-sealing plastic

covers-they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

. Match the amount of food to

the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full.

● Be sure the outside of the

cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven, Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

● Stir or rotate some foods after

a beeping signal. See Automatic Cooking Control Guide and recipes on the following pages.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to allow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap’ firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperboard trays, remove tray from box but do not remove film over tray. Thick entrees may take longer to cook— see guide on page 22.

For frozen foods in metal trays, remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

How to Use the Double Duty’”Shelf

● Do not store or cook with

shelf on floor of oven. Product

damage may result.

● Use potholders when handling

metal shelf and cookware. They may be hot.

● Do not store microwave

browning dish on metal shelf.

● use of DOUBLE DUTYTMshel f

with Automatic Cooking is not

recommended.

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. More than one food may be

heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.

When microwaving with the oven

shelf, some techniques will differ from the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly, and this is shown on the next page. Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions below. Also, food size should be considered; foods over 4 inches high, or 3 % pounds 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 oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is microwave safe.

Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

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

Positioning the Shelf

To position the DOUBLE DUTYTM shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located on each side of the oven in the rear.

I I

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

When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back wall of

the 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 oven walls.

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 make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.

Page 31

e HOWto Heat or Reheat

Similar Types of Food

Two plates of leftovers maybe

reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic wrap.

Microwave at High (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn. 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 fb&d, 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. Microwave at High (10)

reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Also, heat several small bowls of leftovers this way, stirring and reversing positions after half of time.

Two frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinnem (10 to 12 oz. each) are both ready

to serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner 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

1/2 turn. 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 shelf 1 to 2 more minutes.

How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which

should be served hot must be placed

on the oven shelf, while fds which

are only warmed should be placed on

the floor. This is because microwave

energy enters the oven from the top

only. Also, it is important to remember that fds absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or

less dense foods. Alternately, if

one of the 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 at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all

foods together. (See heating guide in cookbook. ) After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (shelf especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

— ..—.

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

such as leftover fried chicken,

casseroles of canned or leftover

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

Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only. Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop properly.

Use a special microwave popcorn accessory or popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

Surface Cooking

See Surface Cooking Guide on pages 34 and 35.

Surface Cooking with Infinite Heat Co~trols

Your surface units and controls are designed to give you an infinite choice of heat settings for surface

unit cooking. At both OFF and HI positions, there

is a slight niche so control “clicks” at those positions; “click” on HI marks the highest setting; the lowest setting is between WM and OFF. In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight

“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.

Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than switching to lower settings.

How to Set the Controls

Step 1: Grasp control knob and push in.

Cooking (hide for Using Heats

HI-Quick start for cooking; bring water to boil.

MEI) HI (7)-Fast fry, pan broil; maintain fast boil on large amount of fd.

MED (4)—Saute and brown; maintain slow boil on large amount of fti.

LOW (3)—Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water in covered pan.

W’M-Steam rice, cereal; maintain

serving temperature of most foods. NOIX:

1. At HI, MED HI (7), never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch fire.

2. At WM, LOW (3), melt chocolate, butter on small unit.

Step 2: Turneither clockwise or counterclockwise to desired heat

setting.

Control must be pushed in to set only from OFF position. When control is in any position other than OFF, it maybe rotated without pushing in.

Be sure you turn control to OFF

when you finish cooking. An

indicator light will glow when ANY heat on any surface unit is on.

Questiom & Answers

/’-

Q. Mav I can foods and preserves on my &rfiace units?

A. Yes. but only use cookware

designed for canning purposes. Check

the manufacturer’s instructions and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner is flat-bottomed and fits over the center of your Calrod@ unit. Since canning generates large amounts of steam. be careful to

avoid burns from steam or heat. Canning should only be done on surface units.

Q. Can I cover my drip pans \vith

foil?

A. No. Clean as recommended in

Cleaning Guide.

Q. Can I use special cooking equipment, like an oriental wok, on any surface units?

A. Cookware without flat surfaces

is not recommended.

your surface unit can be shortened and the range top can be damaged

from the high heat needed for this type of cooking.

Q. Whv am I not getting the heat

I need ~ronl my units even though I have the knobs on the right setting?

A. After turning surfi~ce unit off

and making sure it is cool. check (o make sure that your plug-in units are securely fastened into the surface connection

The life of

Q. w’h~ does mv cookware tilt when I place it & the surface unit?

A. Because the surface unit is

not flat. Make sure that the “feet” on your Calrod@ units are sitting tightly in the range top indentation and the reflector ring is flat on the range surface.

Q. Whv is the porcelain finish on

my co~kware coming off?

A. If you set your Calrod@ unit

higher than required for the cookware material, and leave it. the finish may smoke, crack, pop, or burn depending on the pot or pan. Also. a too high heat for long periods. and small amounts of dry

food. may dwnage the finish.

HomeCanning Tips

Canning should be done on cooktop only.

In surface cooking of foods other than canning. the use of largediameter pots (extending more than

l-inch beyond edge of trim ring) is not recommended. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding

heating unit. HOWEVER. DO NOT USE

LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER

POTS FOR FRYING OR

BOILING FOODS OTHER

THAN WATER. Most syrup or

sauce mixtures—and all types of

frying—cook at temperatures much

higher than boiling water. Such

temperatures could eventually

harm cooktop surfaces surrounding

heating units.

Observe Following Points in Canning

1. Bring water to boil on HIGH

heat. then after boiling has begun,

adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain boil (saves energy and best uses surhce unit. )

2. Be sure canner fits over center of surface unit. If your range does not allow canner to be centered on

surface unit, use smaller-diameter

pots for good canning results.

3. Flat-bottomed canners give best canning results. Be sure bottom of canner is flat or slight indentation fits snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) are not recommended.

RIGHT

WRONG

4. When cunning, use recipes from reputable sources. Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of

glass jars and Kerr; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

5. Remember, in following the recipes, that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. Be careful while canning to prevent burns from steam or heat.

NOTE: If your range is being operated on low power (voltage), canning may take longer than

expected, even though directions

have been carefully followed. The

process may be improved by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and

(2) for fastest heating of large

water quantities, begin with

HOT tap water.

Cereals bubble and expand as they cook; use large enough saucepan to prevent boiiover.

Milk boils over rapidly. Watch as boiling point approaches.

Percolate 8 to 10minutes for 8 cups, less for fewer cups.

If you do not cover skillet, baste e~s with fat to cook tops evenly.

Remove cooked eggs with slotted spoon or pancake turner,

Eggs continue to set slightly after cooking. For omelet do not stir last few minutes. When set, fold in half.

Fresh fruit: Use 1/4to 1/2cup water per pound of fruit.

Dried fruit: Use water as package directs. Time depends on whether fruit has been presoaked. If not, allow more cooking time.

Meat can be seasoned and floured

before it is browned, if clesi~d.

Liquid variations for flavor could

be wine, fruit or tomato juice or

meat broth.

Timing: Steaks 1to 2-inches: 1 to

Using YourOven

Your oven is designed to give you the best results in baking,

broiling and roasting when used as recommended. Before using your oven, read the directions for setting and using all of the controis and timer.

Oven Light

Light comes on automatically when door is opened. Use switch in upper right corner of window door to turn light on when door is closed.

Lamp Over Surface Units

Push and hold surface light button until light comes on.

Oven Shelves

When the shelves are correctly placed on shelf supports, they are designed with stop-locks to prevent them from coming out of the oven or tilting when fbod~s placed on them.

To remove, lift up rear of shelf and

pull forward with stop-locks along top of shelf support.

To replace, insert shelf with stoplocks resting on shelf supports and push toward rear of oven until it falls into correct position under

shelf supports.

Shelf Positions

Oven Controls

The controls for the oven are

marked OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP. The OVEN SET control has settings for BAKE, TIME BAKE, BROIL, CLEAN (for lower oven) and OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper heating units are then

activated for that operation. The OVEN TEMP control maintains

the temperature you set, from WARM (150°F,) to BROIL (550”F.) and also at CLEAN (880”F.) for lower oven.

Conventional Oven Timer

The Conventional Oven Timer is designed to automatically start and

stop certain oven functions (TIME BAKE or CLEAN). Clock must be set before Conventional Oven llmer will operate.

To set Clock, first touch CLOCK pad and then number pads to enter time of day. For example, if time is

1:30, touch number pads 1,3 and O and “1:30” will appear in display. Touch START and clock will be set.

The oven has four shelf supports marked A (bottom), B, C and D

(top). Shelf positions for cooking

food are suggested on Baking,

Roasting and Broiling pages.

Page 37

Baking

See Baking Guide on page 39.

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting.

Differences in timing between an

old and a new oven of 5 to 10

minutes are not unusual and you may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly.

However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Step1:Place food in oven, being

certain to leave about 1 inch of

space between pans and walls of

oven for good circulation of heat.

Close oven door. During baking, avoid frequent door openings to prevent undesirable results.

that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) or Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a

later time and turn off at a preset stop time) will be described.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

N~E: Before beginning, make

sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day.

Immediate Start is simply setting oven to start baking now and turning off at a later time automatically.

Remember, foods continue cooking

after controls are off.

Step4: Touch START. “BAKE

TIME” is displayed and baking time counts down:

Step2: Turn OVEN SET knob to

BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to temperature on recipe or on Baking

Guide. Step 3: Check food for doneness

at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Switch off heat and remove foods.

to Time Bake

How The Conventional oven timer control

allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times

Step1:Turn OVEN SET knob to

TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to oven temperature, for example 250”F.

Step2: TouchBAKE TIME pad.

Time of day remains on display and

“ENTER BAKE TIME” and “: O“

appear.

Step5: When baking is completed,

oven signals; are displayed and oven shuts off.

Step 6: Touch CLEAR pad, open door and remove food.

How to Set Delay Start

and Stop

Delay Start and Stop is setting the oven timer to turn the oven on and off automatically at a later time than the present time of day.

For example: Let’s say it’s 2:00 and

dinner time is shortly after 7:00.

The recipe suggests 3 hours baking time at 250°F. Here’s how:

“BAKE TIME” and “3:00” are

displayed.

Step 6: Touch START pad. The oven automatically figures the start time so oven will turn off when you want baking to be completed.

Step4: Touch STOP TIME pad.

Step1:Turn OVEN SET knob to

TIME BAKE. Tbrn OVEN TEMP

knob to 250”F. or recommended temperature.

Step2: Touch BAKE TIME pad.

Time of day remains on display and

“ENTER

BAKETIME”and”: 0“

appear.

Step3: Touchnumber pads 3,0

and Ofor 3 hours baking time.

“ENTER BAKE !YIUP TIME” and “: O“ appear on display.

Step5: Touch number pads 7,0

and Oto enter 7:00 for the time you want the oven to turn off.

“7:00” and “BAKE STOP TIME”

are displayed.

“4:00” and “BAKE START TIME” are displayed. In this example, baking will begin at 4:00 and oven

will turn off at 7:00.

When baking time is completed, oven

signals, “End BAKE” appears and oven shuts off.

Step%Touch CLEAR pad, open

door and remove food from oven. Remember, food will continue to

cook in a hot oven even after it is turned off.

Note: “E EE” will appear on display when you touch start if you have set a stop time that is less than the time of day plus the bake time.

Touch CLEAR and begin again.

Roasting

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should below and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set to BAKE or TIME BAKE. (You may hear a

slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly. ) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

Step 1:Check weight of meat and

place fat side upon roasting rack in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this. ) Line broiler pan with aluminum foil when using pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or for basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these

materials on oven liner or door.

Step 2: Place inovenon shelf in Aor Bposition. No preheating is necessary.

Step4: Most meats continue to

cook slightly while standing, afler

being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10to 20 minutes to allow roast to firm up and make it easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10”F.; to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove

roast from oven at50 to 10”F.less than temperature in guide on opposite page.

N~E: Youmay wish to use TIME

BAKE, as described on pages 37

and 38, to turn oven on and off

automatically.

Remember that food will continue

to cook inthe hot oven and therefore

should be removed when the desired

internal temperature has been reached.

ForFrozen Roasts .

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal

temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures me shown in Roasting

Guide on opposite page. For roasts over 8 lbs., cooked at 300”F. with reduced time, check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if

allowed to cool 10to 20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat,

Q. Do I need to preheat my

oven each time I cook a roast

or poultry?

A. It is rarely necessary to preheat

your oven, only for very small roasts, which cook a short length of time.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes.Buy a roast as even in

thickness as possible or buy rolled

roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the

meat. Leaving it unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Step3: Turn OVEN SET to BAKE

and OVEN TEMP to 325”F. Small poultry may be cooked at 375”F.

for best browning.

● Thaw most frozen poultry before

roasting to ensure even doneness.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given

on packer’s label.

Roasting Guide

Roasting

1. Position oven shelf at B for

small-size roasts (3 to 7 lbs. ) and at A for larger roasts.

2. Place meat fat-side up, or poultry

breast-side up, on broiler pan or

other shallow pan with trivet. Do

not cover. Do not stuff poultry until

just before roasting. Use meat thermometer for more accurate doneness. (Do not place thermometer in stuffing.)

3. Remove fat and drippings as 5. Frozen roasts can be necessary. Baste as desired.

4. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10to 20 minutes to allow roast to firm up and make it easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise

about 5“ to 10”F.;to compensate for

conventionally roasted by adding

10to 25 minutes per pound more time than given in guide for refrigerated roasts. (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5pounds.)

Broiling

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts

of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

Step 1:If meat has fat or gristle near

edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, fat

may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8” thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack

in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips

into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire

Step3: I%sitionshelfonrecommended shelfposition as suggestedin Broiling Guide on opposite page. Most broiling is done on C position, but

if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use higher position.

IIII

Step 6: Turn food only once during cooking. Time foods for first side per Broiling Guide.

Thm food, then use times given for

second side as a guide to preferred

doneness. (Where two thicknesses

and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step %Turn OVEN SET knob to OFF. Serve food immediately, and leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

Questions &Answers

Q. Why should I leave the door closed when broiling chicken?

A. Chicken is the only food

recommended for closed-door broiling. This is because chicken is

relatively thicker than other foods you broil. Closing the door holds more heat in the oven which allows chicken to cook evenl y throughout.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a rack in the pan?

A. Yes.Using the rack 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 rack 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 salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry

or fish, brush each side often with butter.

SteII4 Leavedoor ajar a fewinches

(ex;ept when broiling chicken). The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained

in the oven.

Step 5: Tbm both OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knobs to BROIL. Preheating units is not necessary.

(See notes in Broiling Guide.)

1. Ifdesired, broiler pan maybe lined with foil and broiler rack may be coveredwith foil for broiling. ALWAYSBE CERTAIN TOMOLD FOIL THOROUGHLY TO BROILER RACK, AND SLIT

FOIL ‘X0CONFORM WITH SLITSIN RACK. Broiler rack is designed to minimize smoking and spattering, and to keep drippings coolduring broiling. Stopping fat

andmeatjuices from draining to thebroiler panprevents rack from serving its purpose, andjuices may become hot enough to catch fire.

2. DO N~ place a sheet of aluminum foilon shelf. Todo so mayresult in improperly cooked foods, damage to oven finish and increase in heat on outside surfaces ofthe oven.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the range maybe low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn food

only once during broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rackto preventmeatfromsticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed

to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking to the surfhce. However,

spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier.

Broiling

1. Always use broiler panand rack

that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

2. Oven door should be ajar for all foods except chicken; there is a special position on door which holds door open correctly.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat.

Questions and Answers

Q.If my ovenclock is not working, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. No. Your Automatic Oven

Timer uses the oven clock to help start and stop your self-cleaning cycle.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven. If you do use them and do not

wipe the oven absolutely clean, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically

cleaned. Q. Can I clean the Woven Gasket

around the oven door? A. No, this gasket is essential for

a good oven seal and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. After having just used the oven, the LOCKED light came on and I could not move the LATCH HANDLE. Why?

A. After several continuous hightemperature bakings or broilings, the LOCKED light may come on. The oven door can’t be latched for

self-cleaning while the LOCKED light is on. If this happens, let the oven cool until the LOCKED light goes off. Then the oven door can be latched for self-cleaning.

Q. What should I do if excessive

smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil,

and you should switch the OVEN

SET knob to OFF. Open windows

to rid room of smoke. Allow the

oven to cool for at least one hour

before opening the door. Wipe up

the excess soil and reset the clean

cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” sound I hear during cleaning normal?

A. Yes.This is the metal heating

and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor

during the cleaning? A. Yes,there maybe a slight odor

during the first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause an odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition

resulting from heating and cooling

during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my

oven after cleaning? A. Some types of soil will leave

a deposit which is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide

easily. What is the matter? A. After many cleanings, oven

shelves may become so clean they

do not slide easily. If you wish

shelves to slide more easily, dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves may lose some luster

and discolor to a deep gray color.

Care and Cleaning of YourCooking Center

Proper care and cleaning are important so your Cooking Center will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these

directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER

IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING

ANY Pm OF YOUR

COOKING CENTER.

Control l?hnel

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils around the control panel. They might damage it.

Clean the panels with a lightly dampened cloth. DO NOT USE cleaning spraysor large amounts of soap and water. These can cause problems with the control mechanisms.

lkmperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but care

should be taken in handling it. Do not twist it. Avoiddropping it. Clean as soon as possible after use. Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub metal parts with a plastic scouring pad if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or, wash the probe in an automatic dishwasher.)

Aluminum Foilon Shelves— why you shouldn’t use it

DO N~ place a sheet of aluminum

foil on any shelf in either your microwaveor conventional oven. If

YOUdo, your foods may not cook

properly. The ovenfinish maybe damaged, and there may bean

increase in heat on the outside surfaces of the oven.

Oven Lamp

Toreplace microwaveovenlamp,

first disconnect power at main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Remove the Hood Extension and Hood Filter following instructions on page 53.

The lamp cover is located on the

lowerleft side behind the hood falter. Use a short blade-type screwdriver

and remove the screw in the front ofthe lamp cover.

Lift the lamp cover and gently twist

the bulb to break the white silicone

adhesive attached to the bulb and socket to prevent damage during shipping. Unscrew the bulb and replace with a bulb of same type and wattage available from your General Electric supplier.

Screw replacement bulb into

with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Cleaning-Inside

Keepyour microwave oven clean

and sweet-smelling. Opening the

ovendoor a fewminutes after

cooking helps air out the interior.

An occasional thorough wiping with a solution ofbaking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Spills and spatters are easy to removefrom walls and floor.

That’s because there’s little heat except in the food, or sometimes in the utensil. Some spatters wipe up

with a paper towel, some may require a damp cloth. Remove

greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth,

then rinse and dry.

Exhaust System

This Cooking Center has a built-in exhaust system equipped with a damper, a two-speed exhaust blower and removable filters. Exhaust openings are located over cooking top and in hood over oven.

The exhaust system functions only when the blower is operating. The switch for the exhaust system is

beneath the control panel. For high

speed, push switch once; for low speed, push switch twice; and to stop blower, push switch once in sequence.

When blower is operating and hood

over upper oven is closed, it exhausts over surface units only.

When blower operates with hood in

open position, it exhausts through openings over surface units and over oven at the same time.

THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHOULD BE OPERATED

WHENEVER ODORS, VAPORS

OR SMOKE ARE EXPECfED

TO BE THE RESULT OF A

COOKING OPERATION. START FAN AT BEGINNING

OF COOKING.

To open hood above the oven, lifi up handle on hood; to close, push down on handle. Use hood in its fully extended position whenever vapor or smoke results from cooking, such as when pan broiling or frying on the surface units. See information on use of surface units.

Filters

Two filters are located over cooking tap and one behind hood extension. Filters are removable for cleaning.

Filters become soiled over a period of time. The efficiency of your exhaust system depends on how clean the filters are. Frequency of cleaning, or replacing, depends on the type of cooking you do, but falters should be cleaned AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. Also, frequently clean the grease-laden surfaces adjacent to the filters.

To clean, agitate in hot detergent solution. Light brushing may be used to help remove imbedded soi and dust. With careful use and handling, filters will last for years

However, if replacement becomes necessary, obtain a filter from

your dealer.

Remove and Replace Filters 10 Cooking top: Place finger in

recess at front edge of filter; push filter to rear until front edge clears the exhaust opening; lower the front and remove. When clean, replace. Place edge of filter against spring at rear of exhaust opening. Push to rear, lift front edge, and let spring push filter forward into place under edge of exhaust opening.

2. Hood: Extend hood as far as possible, or remove hood extension if desired; see illustration below. Place fingers on each side at

bottom of filter. Press filter to left until it clears the holder on right

side, then remove. When clean, replace. Push filter against clip at left and press left until filter clears

holder at right side. Push filter toward opening and release so it slips behind holder.

Non-vented models also have a replaceable Charcoal Filter located behind Hood Filter. Replace as needed with Part No. WB2X7692 available from your GE supplier.

Motor

The blower motor is permanently lubricated; it does not need oiling.

ToRemove and Replace Hood Extension

1. To remove, extend hood as far

as it will open. Hook a finger behind flexible bar at

each side of hood extension and

move toward center of hood to move pins out of holes. Hood

extension can be removed.

2. To clean, wash with hot

detergent solution. Rinse and dry

with cnfl cloth

---- ---- . .. ....

3. To replace, fit bottom of half-

circle flanges into side of hood.

Secure one side at a time. Align pin with holes in bracket and hood extension, then push pin through

holes. This secures hood extension

so it cannot be removed by mistake.
