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.

Energy-Saving Tips

fl-

)

● 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.

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically

rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only? A. Yes. Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in Defrost and amount of time. Then program Hold and the amount of time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Let foods remain at room temperature only as long as safe. Times will vary.

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.

Cooking by Time

The time cooking feature allows you to preset the cooking time.

The oven shuts off automatically. Power level 10(High) is

recommended for most cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility. See your cookbook.

To become better acquainted with time cooking, make a cup of coffee

by following the steps below,

Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of water, add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Use a cup that has no metal decoration and is microwave safe (refer to Microwaving Tips on page 7). Place cup in oven and close door.

TIME” flashes.

Step 3: Select your time. Touch

1,2 and Ofor a minute and 20 seconds. “MICRO COOK TIME” flashes and “POWER 10” and

“1:20” appear on display.

Because automatic power level 10 is recommended for this cup of

coffee, there is no need to change the power level. (If power level 10

is not appropriate, see “How to

Change Power Level” below.)

Step 4: Touch START. “MICRO COOK TIME;’ “POWER 10~’and time counting down show on display.

Step 5: When time is up, the oven signals and flashes “End~’ Oven shuts off.

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.

Cooking bvTem~erature

Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness for many foods.

“TEMP CC)C)K/HOLD” takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to

12hours or until you touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

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.

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
