A. CAxMng

1. Use proper power level as recommended and DO NOT OVERCOOK.

2. 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.

B“ Gxking

Use cooking utensils 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.

“Keep an eye” quickly to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat. When food reaches cooking temperature, reduce heat immediately to lowest setting that will keep it cooking.

Preheat the ov& only when necessary. Most

foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. [f you find preh~ating 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.

2. During baking, avoid frequent door openings.

3. Keep door open as short a time as possible when it is opened.

For self-cleaning oven, be sure to wipe up ex-

4. cess 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, chickm or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature in approximately the same time,

Use residual heat in oven whenever possible to

Plastic 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 subject to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and containers may even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only and use them in

strict compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do

ALWIRoast uses the temperature probe to cook to

the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp Cook, which uses a single power level, Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during rGasting, thus providing even tender cooking results without overcooking.

Place tender beef roasts on trivet in microwave safe dish. Insert probe from front horizontally into center meaty area not touching bone or.fat. Cover with wax paper.

Poultry, pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add % cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap. (For cooking bag method, see cookbook.) Insert probe into center meaty area.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal ternperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the Cookbook which comes with your oven: Complete information on preparing roasts for microwaving is in your Cookbook.

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

v+henit does not for other settings? A. when using Code 1,there is no second phase of

minutes counting down, All the cooking is com-

pleted in the first phase or AUTO. Q. if my food is not completely cooked after using

the suggested skwld i do? A. l-hick starchy or dense foods may require some

adddionai time cooking. Use TIME COOK and Power Level 10for a few minutes until completion.

Q. DcI a!.! fresh or frozen vege!abks require a

standing period after cooking with AUTO COOK? A. Most vegetables are cooked to a crisp state dur-

ing 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 dish.

Recover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. !30 the shapes and sizes of food make a differ-

ence 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 ar-

rangement is often a successful tip in regular micro-

waving. 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 since you should not open the door during the AUTO phase of cooking without affecting end cooking results.

Q. My scalloped po@toes 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 foo 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, Are Mere any other foods which am best Time

;:f-&@~Jy~~~fh~~fg~~~~g~~~Q&@fj?

A, Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or

foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are COOkedbest by Time Ccok.

Q. Da fresh m hxzen vegetabhs require water when LSfig Auto Cook?

A. Yes. Add water as recommended on chart to the vegetables and cover well for even, complete cooking.

(2. Would my pkwtk containers with very tight fit-

ting lids be appropriate for Automatic Choking?

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. 1tried to warm same chow rmin 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.

(2. May I use Auto Cook when 1am cooking many

foods in more than me 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. Why was my roast not fully cooked even though

the temperature on the readou~ was correct and AutoRoastcompleted?

A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature

probe must be inserted properly as fully described

in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotating, the probe should be checked to make sure it hasn’t slipped or changed position,

Q. Last !ime I used Auto Roast ilremoved the roast

from the oven to turn it over. When ! replaced roast in ovum and reconnected the meat probe, AUTO reappeared, Why?

A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below 80°, or probe may have been repositioned. Continue roasting and numbers will soon reappear.

Q. Are there any particular trivets that work better

than others? A. Yes, flat glass trivets such as lids or dish covers

give more even cooking results than plastic trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work well. Plastic trivets require meat to be turned over more frequently because the grid design and legs allow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it cooks, than glass trivets do.

Q. Why doesn’t the mast continue cooking during

the standing o?holding time? A. The oven automatically reaches finished temper-

ature and then decreases to a lower power level to prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is maintained,
