assures that, in the remote possi-

bility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

. Do not touch heating elements

or interior surface of oven. These

surfaces may be hot enough to bum even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Other potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices around the ovendoor and the edges of the door window.

Remember: The inside surface of

the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

Microwave Oven:

. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS ‘K) AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on page 2.

. Toreduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

–Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic,

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

—Removewire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—l%pertowels, napkins and wax

paper.Recycledpaper 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

microwavepopcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwaveovens.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by

accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the

ovenempty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

—Ifmaterials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel.

. Some products such as whole

eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glassjars—may

explode and should not be heated in this oven.

● Avoid heating baby f~d in

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

● See door surface cleaning

instructions on page 26.

● Don’t defrost frozen

beverages in narrow necked bottles

(especially carbonated beverages).

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. Foil strips as used on

meat, roasts are helpful when used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high. When using metal in microwaveoven,

keep metal (except for DOUBLE Dw shelf) at least 1 inch away from sides of oven.

. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred

from the heated fd. Potholders maybe neededto handletheutensil.

. Sometimes, the oven floor

can become too hot to touch. Be

carefbl touching the floor during

and after cooking.

@ Foods cooked in liquids (such

as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to page 26 for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

● Do not use a thermometer in

food you are microwaving unless that thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

e 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.

@ Boiling eggs is not

recommended in a microwave

oven. Pressure can build up inside

eggyolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

@ Foods with unbroken

outer “skin” such as potatoes,

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

* 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 subjected to short periods ofovercooking. 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.

Energy Saving Tips

0 “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 be at 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.

. Spontaneous boiling—Under

certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwaveoven. Toprevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwaveoven.

● Use of the DOUBLE DUTYTM

shelf accessory. (See your

_ Cookbook for proper use.)

—Removethe shelf from oven

“J

when not in use. –Do not store or cook with shelf

on floor of oven. Product damage

may result. —Usepotholders when handling

the shelf and utensils. They may be hot.

—Donot use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat. Use of shelf with Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

Lower Oven:

● Stand away from the oven

when opening oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

. Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst causing an injury.

@ Keep oven vent ducts

unobstructed.

o Keep oven free from grease

buildup.

@ Place oven rack in desired position while ovenis cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let potholder contact heating units in the oven.

* Pulling out shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

. When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

● Do not use your oven to dry

newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

Sdf-Cleaning Own:

. Do not clean door gasket. The

door gasket is essential for a good

seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

● Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

. Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Book.

● Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan and other utensils.

● Listen for fan—a fan noise

should be heard sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call for service before self-cleaning again.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

o Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily 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.

● Alwaysturn oven OFF before

removing food.

● Don’topen the oven door any

more often than necessary during baking. If you do have to open it, close it as soon as possible.

● Be sure to wipe up excess

spillage before self-cleaning operation.

● Cook complete oven meals

instead ofjust 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.

Questions and Answers

J?rhy wasn’t my roast fully

co(Jiied even though the temperature on the display was correct and

,futo Roast was completed.

A. The temperature probe must be properly inserted when you Auto Roast. Check your Cookbook to see what you might have done wrong.

Q. Do some types of trivets work better than others?

(.). \\’hen I’m cooking with Auto

Roast, wh~ doesn’t my roast con-

tinue to cook during the holding time?

A. When your food reaches finished temperature, the oven automatically switches to a lower power level. The even temperature that’s maintained in the food during this holding period keeps it warm without overcooking.

A. Yes. Flat glass trivets generally provide more browning to the bottom of meats than plastic trivets. Also, ceramic ridgebottomed roasting dishes usually work well. Plastic trivets may require meat to be turned over more often than glass trivets do because the grid design and legs let the bottom of the meat stay cooler than glass trivets do.

. See your Cookbook for

defrosting help.

When the oven completes defrosting, it automatically shuts off. It will then display “End” and beep once a minute until you either open the door or touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

To become better acquainted with

the defrost functions, defrost frozen pork chops using the following steps.

Step 1: Place package of frozen

chops in the oven and close door.

Step 2: Touch DEFROST. Display reads :0 and Power Level”3 is automatically set in the oven but does not appear on display. ENTER DEF. TIME flashes.

Step 3: Touch 8,0 and Ofor 8 minutes. DEF. TIME and 8:00 are displayed. If you wish to change Power Level, touch POWER LEVEL pad and then new number.

Step 4: Touch START. Time counts down on display. When cycle is completed, the oven signals and automatically shuts off.

Step 6: When oven signals and shuts off, display will show “End”.

Step 7: Open door or touch

CLEAR/ OFF pad. Remove

package and separate chops to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

. For even defrosting, many foods

need to be broken up or separated

part of the way through the defrost-

ing time.

● Homemade dinners can be frozen

in shallow foil trays and heated for later use. (Do not heat on DOUBLE

DUTYM shelf.) TV dinners can be microwaved using wire shelf if metal tray is returned to box before placing on wire shelf. Select foods which microwave well.

. Pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved.

. Check your Cookbook for other defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers Q. When I press START, I hear a f

dull thumping noise. What is it? A. This sound is normal. It is let-

ting you know the oven is using a Power Level lower than 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 POWER LEVEL and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the time about in %; Power Level 10 cuts the time to approximately During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Can 1 open the door during DEFROST to check on the pro-

gress of my food? A. Yes. You may open the door at

any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START.

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

A. Cookbook times are average. 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, re-set your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Can I select a Power Level other

than automatic Power Level 3 for

defrosting.?

A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be

defrosted quicker on higher Power

Levels but for even, carefree defrost-

ing, Power Level 3 is suggested.

Check the chart in the Cookbook

for specific times and Power Levels.

Questions and Answers

Q. I set mv oven for the time called

for in the ;ecipe but at the end of the time allowed, my dish wasn’t done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due to time or location, many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your dish a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I want to cook on a Power Level other than HIGH, what do I need to do?

A. To change the Power Level, touch the POWER LEVEL pad after entering desired cooking time. Enter the desired number and then touch START.

Q. {’an I interrupt nl~ Time {’ook

function to check the food?

A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply close the door and touch START. NOTE: Microwave power will not come on until you are ready. You must touch START for cooking to begin.

Q. 1touched the number pads and

selected my power level. When 1 touched START. however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK pad must be touched before setting the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

Q. I tried to change Power Level

but the display changed back to cooking time. Why?

A. After touching Power Level pad you only have 4 seconds to enter the number. Try setting controls again.

Cooking by Temperature

For many foods, internal tempera-

ture is the best test of doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods accurately to a serving temperature you desire is simple and easy.

Temp Cook/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 until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the

internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using Temp Cook/ Hold or Auto Roast. Follow

the directions for use and insertion

on page 8.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Beef Rib Roast to Medium

Step 1: Insert temperature probe as

directed in Cookbook and attach

probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.

Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/

HOLD. ENTER TEMP COOK flashes and the digit portion of the display is blank.

;t~p 4: Tou:h POWER LEVEL pad. P-10 shows on display. Touch 5 for MEDIUM power. P-5 shows on display and then display reverts back to set finished temperature.

Step 5: Touch START. After food reaches 90°, display shows temperature of food counting up.

Step

6: When 130° is reached, the

oven will sound and display HOLD. The oven will then hold the temperature.

Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF to stop the cycle.

Step 8: Remove probe and food from the oven.

Cooking Tips

● Use a lower power level setting;

it will heat 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.

. Always insert probe into the center of meaty areas; take care not to touch the fat or the bone.

. Insert probe as horizontally as possible into foods as directed in the recipes. Make sure the handle does not touch the food.

. Use the clip to keep the probe in place while heating.

. Cover foods as directed in Cookbook for moisture control and quick heating.

Q, \l

tal} reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions’?

A. The oven automatically rear-

ranges your program. Defrosting always comes first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

(..).Can I defrost and hold

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.

Q. I programmed my oven for a

specific defrosting time but it

defrosted longer than necessary.

\\’hat happened? A. When instructions conflict, the

oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes and ignore your first defrost instruction.

How to Use COOK

CODEh’ Control

The COOK CODE’M Control pro-

vides a short-cut method for entering time and the Power Level on your microwave oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes which need little or no attention,

and which require no change of

power level during cooking. Recipes which require additional

ingredients, attention or change of

power level during microwaving should be cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with cooking time of less than one minute or

more than 99 minutes can not use

Cooking Codes. To understand the Cook Code con-

trol, it is important to know what the numbers mean and what the sequence is. The first and second numbers, if setting a 3 digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of time you desire; the last control entry number is always the Power

Level. For example, 125 means

12 minutes at Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the Cook Code control and the highest Power Level is 10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a 2 digit Cook Code control entry, the first is time, the second is power level. For example, 50 means 5 minutes at Power Level 10.

On the following page is shown many frequently prepared foods

and their codes. It’s easy, though,

to make Cooking Codes for many other recipes. Just select one or two

digits representing the length of

cooking time desired, and a final

digit for the Power Level required. The Cooking Codes given on the chart are for the minimum time

needed, to avoid overcooking which

can dry out food and make it taste-

less and tough. If you feel that more cooking is needed, add addi-

tional time by changing the first digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the cycle time—Cooking Codes are for whole minutes only.

If your recipe calls for Power Level changes or different amounts of time needed between addition of

ingredients, you may set one Cooking Code for the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set another Cooking Code for that period of time and Power Level.

Remember that Cooking Codes are for microwaving by time only. If you are microwaving by temperature, you must use thg Temp Cook or Auto Roast function.

When the oven completes COOK CODE’” program, it automatically shuts off. It will then display “End”

and beep once a minute until you either open the door or touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

Using Your oven

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 controls and timer.

oven Light

Light comes on automatically when door is opened or use switch on window door to turn it on when door is closed.

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 food is placed on them.

T() R E\lo\” 1;, lift up rear of shelf and pull forward with stop-locks along top of shelf support.

1’0 R EPI.~$CI;, insert shelf with stop-locks resting on shelf supports and push toward rear of oven until

‘“ it falls into correct position under

shelf supports.

SheIf Positions

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.

Automatic Oven Timer, Nlinute Timer

Oven Timer Controls are designed to automatically start and stop certain oven functions (TIME BAKE

or CLEAN). Dials are timed by a special Clock with index marks (denoting numerals) and hands. (For location see page 6.)

TO SET CLOCK, push in the center knob of Minute Timer and turn the Clock hands to correct time, then let knob out.

TO SET MINUTE TIMER, turn knob to desired minutes. (Knob must be out to set Minute Timer.) Minute Timer will buzz when time has finished and must be turned off manually.

How to Bake and Time Bake

How to Set Your Oven for Baking

See Baking Guide on page 19.

Step I: Place shelf on embossed shelf support “B” or as indicated on Baking Chart, page 19.

Step 2: After making sure that the

oven door is closed, turn the OVEN

SET Knob to BAKE. Oven “On”

Light will come on and remain on as long as OVEN SET Knob is on BAKE.

Step 3: to the temperature called for in

recipe. Oven Cycling Light comes

on and remains on until preset oven temperature is reached. It reappears each time oven temperature drops

below preset temperature.

Step 4: You may set your Minute

Timer to the desired cooking time as indicated in your recipe. If your cooking time is longer than sixty

minutes, Minute Timer must be

reset.

Turn OVEN TEMP Knob

Most foods cook satisfactorily without preheating. If preheating is

required, put your dish promptly in the range after Oven Cycling Light goes out.

Step 5: Place food inside the oven.

Make sure at least 1” of space is left

between the cooking container and the oven wall for proper heat circu-

lation. Close the oven door.

NOTE: Avoid opening your oven door frequently. This could cause

undesirable results in your baking.

Only check foods at the minimum

time of the recipe. Then cook

longer if necessary.

Step 6: When the BAKE cycle is

complete, turn off heat. When

cooking food for the first time in

your oven, use the time on your

recipe as a guide. Be sure foods are

done before removing from oven.

How to Time Bake

Your Automatic Oven Timer controls your Time Bake feature. When you Time Bake, your oven can be preset to start and stop

automatically if you are not home.

Step 1: Be sure the range Clock

shows correct time of day since

Clock controls the Oven Timers.

Start dial pointer must indicate same time of day as on Clock. If you want the oven to turn on at a later time, set that time by pushing in knob on Start dial and turn pointer to time that you want oven to start. (There’s no need to set

Start dial when starting time is the present time of day.)

Step 2: To determine Stop time, add the food’s cooking time to time set on Start dial. Push in knob on

Stop dial and turn pointer to time oven is to turn off.

Step 3: Turn OVEN SET Knob to TIME BAKE. Oven “On” Light comes on immediately even if the

Start time is later.

Step 4: Turn OVEN TEMP Knob to temperature setting. Oven Cycling

Light comes on even though heat is

not on in the oven if a later start

time is used. Your oven automatically turns on and off at the times you set.

Step 5: Remove food and turn OVEN

SET Knob to OFF.

Baking Guide

1. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conven-

tional baking light shiny finishes generally give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes for heat to cook the center areas. Dull (satin-finish) bottom surfaces of pans are recommended for cake pans and pie plates to be sure those areas brown completely.

2. Dark or non-shiny finishes, also glass and pyroceram,

generally absorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts.

Reduce oven heat 25° if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat

How to Set Your (hen for Roasting

Step 1: Check the weight of the meat and place, fat side up, on the rack in the broiler pan that came with your range. This helps the meat to baste itself.

Step 2: Use shelf position “A” or “B”; or the one indicated on Roasting Guide, page 21. Place Oven Shelf on correct embossed shelf support. For very tail roasts,

remove second oven shelf.

Step 3: Turn the OVEN TEMP

Kn~b to 325°. (The exception is

small poultry which is roasted at

3750.)

Step 4: Close the oven door and

turn

the OVEN SET Knob to BAKE. Oven “On” Light comes on and stays on until OVEN SET Knob is turned to OFF. Oven Cycling Light comes on and remains on until temperature is reached.

Step 5: Place your meat inside the oven, making sure the pan is not touching the oven walls or door.

Step 6: Turn off the heat when the

roasting cycle is complete.

Cooking Tips

● Be sure meat is cooked to your “~’

satisfaction. Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. This should be taken into consideration when determining your cooking time.

. Always use a roasting pan that fits the size of your meat. A roast placed in a pan too small for its size

will drip over the edge.

. You may cook frozen meat roasts without thawing. However, you

must allow more cooking time. For large roasts, add 10-25 minutes per

pound. For roasts under 5 pounds, add 10 minutes per pound.

● To slow down surface browning

on turkeys, you can use a foil “tent”.

The tent-shaped foil should be laid

loosely over the poultry so the heat

can circulate under the foil.

● Most frozen poultry should be

thawed before cooking to ensure it

is done evenly. Some, however, can

be cooked successfully without _

thawing. Check the packer’s label “

for specific directions.

sure to cut openings in the foil to correspond with the slits in the broiler rack so fat drips into the

pan below.

. For all weights of chicken, broil

with door closed.

Q Placing food closer to the top of the oven increases smoking,

spattering, exterior browning on the

meat and the possibility of food fat

catching on fire. Always keep rack

3-5 inches from the broiling unit.

.’:9

Broiling Guide

1. Always use broiler pan and 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 most foods; 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. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and loosing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or,

brush with barbeque sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only. -

Care and Cleaning

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

PART OF YOUR COOKING CENTER.

Control Panels

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

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

Temperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling it. Do not twist it. Avoid dropping 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.

DO NOT wash the probe in an automatic dishwasher.

.Aluminum Foil on Shelves— why you shouldnl use it

DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on any shelf in either your microwave or conventional oven. If you do, your foods may not cook properly. The oven finish may be damaged. And there may be an increase in heat on faces of the oven.

Oven Lamp

The oven lamp bulb is long-lasting. Only a qualified service technician should replace it.

DOUBLE DUTY’” Shelf Accessory

Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not remove plastic spacers from the shelf when cleaning. Do not clean

Cleaning

—Outside

Clean the outside of your micro-

wave oven with soap and water,

then rinse and dry. The outer pane

of the window is glass. Wipe it

clean with a damp towel. Chrome is

best wiped with a damp cloth and

then with a dry towel.

Cleaning—Inside

Keep it clean and sweet-smelling.

Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the

inside. An occasional thorough

wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior

fresh.

Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls, floor and antenna cover. 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

then rinse and dry.

with a sudsy cloth,

OVEN. Wipe up spatters on the glass on

the inside of the door daily. Wash

Oven Vent Duct

The oven is vented through a duct that’s located on the right side of the oven just above the door handle (see page 6). Moisture and vapors from the oven are vented through it

when oven is in use. Never cover the hole in the duct. To do so prevents it from functioning properly during cooking and cleaning.

Lamp Replacenwnt CAUTION: Before replacing

your oven lamp bulb, disconnect

the electric power for your Cooking Center at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure

to let the lamp cover and bulb cool completely before removing or replacing them.

The oven lamp (bulb) is covered with a glass removable cover which is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

● Hold hand under cover so it

doesn’t fall when released. With fingers of same hand, firmly push back wire bail until it clears cover. Lifi off cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

in Broiling

If you

wish, you may line the

broiler pan with alu-minum foil and

cover the rack with it for broiling.

ALWAYS BE SURE TO MOLD THE FOIL THOROUGHLY TO THE BROILER RACK AND SLIT THE FOIL TO CONFORM WITH SLITS IN THE RACK. Stopping fat and meat juices from draining-into the broile-r pan prevents the rack from serving its purpose and MAY LET JUICES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO CATCH FIRE.

To replace cover:

● Place it into groove of lamp

receptacle. Pull wire bail forward to center of cover until it snaps into place. When in place, wire holds

cover firmly. Be certain wire bail is

in depression in center of cover.

● Connect electric power to oven.
