PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAm

ENERGY

.—

Model Number

Serial Number

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service calls concerning your cooking center.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven:

● Steam or vapor escaping from

around the door.

● Light reflection around door or

outer case.

●

Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

●

Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.

●

Some TV-Radio interference

might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

Save time and money.

Before you request service . . .

check the Problem Solver on pages 31 through 33. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you

can correct yourself.

If you need service...

To obtain service, see the Consumer Services page in the back of this book.

We’re proud of our service and want you to be pleased. If for some reason you are not happy with the service you receive, here are three steps to follow for further help.

FIRST, contact the people who

serviced your appliance. Explain why you are not pleased. In most cases, this will solve the problem.

(a) Do Not Attempt

this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave

energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place

between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c)

Do Not Operate

if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (bent) (2) hinges and latches (broken or

loosened)

(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

IMPORT~T SA~TY

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor California to publish a list of substances known to the state cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

substances. The fiberglass insulation in

self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions

●

Use proper power level as recommended and DO 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.

hwer

●

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.

●

Always turn oven OFF before

removing food.

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.

Oven

●

Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving.

casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or with a metallic sheen can be used.

Some cookware is labeled “suitable for

microwaving:’

If you are not sure if a dish is

microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup water—set

the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish

remains cool and only the water in

the cup heats, then the dish is

microwave-safe.

●

Paper towels, wax paper and

plastic wrap

dishes in order to retain moisture

and prevent spattering. Be sure to

vent plastic wrap so steam can

escape.

Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging. Check the

Cookbook.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press the START pad, 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 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.

●

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

Family-size, pre-packaged frozen entrees can be defrosted and microwaved. Remove from foil container and place in a microwave-safe dish.

● Check your cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

Should all foods be completely

thawed before cooking? A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so 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.

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired

serving temperature. Auto Roast uses up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during

roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking resulh 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.
