Microwaving Tips

QMake 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 minute at HIGH. If water becomes hot, dish is microwave safe. If dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

When Power is Connected to the Oven

The panel displays all of the oven fimctions. After 15seconds, all lights disappear and “Reset” appears in the display. Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad and then touch CLOCK pad and set the clock. The clock must be set for the timer functions to work.

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

● Preheat the oven only when

necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eyeon the indicator light, and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out.

● Alwaysturn ovenOFF before

removing food.

● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible when 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.

● 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.

● 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.

● 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

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.

NUI’E: Let foods remain at room

temperature only as long as safe.

Times will vary.

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 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 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 setting the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

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 cook time. “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 byTemperature

Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness for many foods.

“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 for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

SENSOR

/ \ J

TWO P6SITION

CLIP

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 ‘!AUIU ROAST:’

A two-position clip attaches to the side of a dish to help keep the probe in position when temperature cooking foods such as chili or soup. To use your probe properly in a roast, follow directions on page 12.

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 COOWHOLD 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.

Q. Can I Temp Cook different

portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes. The temperature probe

gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

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.

● 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/HOLI), 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.

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 Defrost 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 fi.mction, defrost a 10oz. 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 ovensignals 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: TouchTIME DEFROST.

Display shows :0 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 3,0 and O for 3 minutes. Display shows 3:00 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. Remove from foil container and place in 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 left on timer. If not, reset timer.

Automatic Cooking

The AU~ COOK feature maybe

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 19for

containers and covers recommended

for automatic cooking.

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.

Easy to Use

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.

Example:

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

Note:

Use of the metal Double Duty~

shelf with Automatic Cooking

is N(YI!recommended.

Foods Recommended

,’ i

‘+4’

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

Foods Not Recommended

Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods that require addition of ingredients during cooking, and

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.

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic Cooking Codes 1 through 9 are designed 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 20 through 27.

Touch number pad for desired code.

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

Word “AU’10” shows on display, indicating steam sensor is activated. DO NOI’ OPEN THE DOOR. OPENING DOOR MAY AFFE~ 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 and stops,

and displays “END;’

Page 18

How to Adjust AUTO COOK Codes To Suit YourTaste

By simply adding a 1at?er 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 AUTO COOK pad. AU70 COOK is displayed and “ENTER CODE” flashes.

Touch number pads 4 and 1 in that order. COOK and CODE 4 are displayed and “START” flashes.

Touch START. AUKI COOK and

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

Questions & Answers

Q. Why does mv oven automatically cut off after th; 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 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 sizeand

density of pieces. This standing time also enhances the overall

flavorand appearance ofmost

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 I 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 fimction 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 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.

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.

Automatic Cooking Containers & Covers

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 toallow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap fhy 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 20.

For frozen foods in metal trays,

remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and close ends of box.

Use oblong or square containers for chicken or com on the cob. Plastic wrap covering should be loose over food to allow for expansion. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

I%perplates—while they maybe

How to Use the Double

DutyTMShelf

. 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.

s Use of DOUBLE DUTYTMshelf

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

over4 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 DUTY~ 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.

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.

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.

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.

reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at HIGH (10) for 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2turn. Continue microwaving at HIGH (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue

heating, if necessary, until hot.

Reheating two casseroles (height should be less than 4 inches) is possible. Cover with plastic wrap. Use staggered anangements of food, placing food on right side

of shelf and lefi 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 afier half of time.

How to Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.

Rates can be afkcted by the sizeof 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. ) Afler half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (floor especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Two frozen individual entrees (5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinners (10to 12oz. each) are both ready to serve at the same time. Remove traysof 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 6 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2turn. Continue microwaving at HIGH (10) for 6 minutes. Check dinners for heating. If one dinner seems less

done than desired, return it to the

box and continue heating on floor

1to 2 more minutes,

Place on floor 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 shelf those

foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Roasting

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low 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 up, on 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 inoven on shelf in A or Bposition. No preheating is necessary.

Step 4: Most meats continue to

cook slightly while standing, after

being removed from the oven. For rareor medium internal doneness, if meat is to stand 10to 20 minutes while making gravy, or foreasier

carving, you may wish to remove

meat from oven when internal temperature is 5 to 10°F.below temperature suggested in guide. If no standing is planned, cook meat to suggested temperature in

guide on opposite page.

N(YI’E: Youmay wish to use TIME

BAKE, as described on pages 31

and 32, to turn oven on and off

automatically.

Remember that food will continue

to cook in the hot oven and therefore

should be removed when the desired

internal temperature has been

reached.

For Frozen Roasts

● Frozen roasts of beef, pork,

lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10

per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger

roasts).

to 25 minutes

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.

Temperaturesare shown in Roasting

Guide on opposite page. For roasts

over 8 lbs., cooked at 300°F. with

reducedtime, 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.

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.

Step 3: ‘IbrnOVEN 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.

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.

Step 3: Fbsition shelfon recommended shelf position as suggested in 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 usc higher position.

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

Turn 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.

E /’ Ill

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 evenly 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, thejuices 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.

,—.

Step

4: Leave door ajara few inches (except when broiling chicken). The door stays open by itself, yet

1. If desired. broiler pan may be

lined with foil and broiler rack may be covered with foil for broiling. ALWAYSBE CERTAIN TO MOLD FOIL THOROUGHLY TO BROILER RACK. AND SLIT FOIL TO CONFORM WITH SLITS IN RACK. Broiler rack is

designed to minimize smoking and

spattering, and to keep drippings

cool during broiling. Stopping fat

and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan prevents rack from serving its purpose. and juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

2. DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on shelf. To do so

may result in improperly cooked foods, damage to oven finish and increase in heat on outside surfaces of the 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

rack to prevent meat from sticking? A. No. The broiler rack is designed

to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping

the surface cool enough to prevent meat sticking tothe surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make cleanup easier.

Broiling Guide

“ Broiling

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 all foods except chicken; there is a special position on door which

holds door open correctly.

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock 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

LATCH HANDLE. Why?

temperature 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 etisily, 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 Your Cooking Center

Proper care and cleaning are important so your Cooking Center will give you efilcient 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 PMT OF YOUR COOKING CENTER.

Control I%nel

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 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. (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

microwave or conventional oven. If you do, your foods may not cook properly. The oven finish may be damaged, and there may bean increase in heat on the outside surfaces of the oven.

Oven Lamp

To replace microwave oven lamp,

firstdisconnect power at main

fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Remove the grille by removing the 3 screws on top and the 3 screws on the bottom of the grille using a blade-type screwdriver.

The lamp is located on the left side behind the grille.

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 in socket and replace grille. Re-connect power to Cooking Center.

DOUBLE DUTYTM 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

clean in self-cleaning oven.

Precautions for Use of Metal

Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook. Metal trays no more than 3/4” deep may be used for TV dinners, and the metal temperature probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sides of oven.

Cleaning—Outside

Clean the outside of your microwave oven with soap and damp cloth, then rinse with damp cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cioth and then with a dry towel.

Cleaning—Inside

Keep your microwave oven clean

and sweet-smelling. Opening the

oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Page 41

~Spills and spatters are easy to

remove from 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.

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER ON ANY P~T OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Oven VentDuct

The oven is vented through a duct that’s located on the right side of the oven just above the door handle (see page 7). 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 fi.mctioning properly during cooking and cleaning.

Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside of the door daily. Wash window, when it’s soiled, with a minimum of sudsy, warm

water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the door frequently.

Use a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, such as cleaning powders or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.

Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Using a Brown ‘N Sear Dish?

Use Bon Ami@ brand cleanser.

High heat generated on the bottom of the Brown ‘N Sear Dish can cause scorched appearing stains to

bake onto the floor if grease is

present. These may be removed

with Bon Ami@ brand cleanser.

After using this cleaner, rinse and

dry thoroughly, following instructions

on can. Do not use it on the painted

surfaces such as the walls—it may

scratch the paint.

Indented Area

The temperature on your new oven has been accurately set at the factory. However, if your food consistently browns too much or too little, you may make a simple adjustment behind your OVEN TEMP knob. To readjust your thermostat:

● Rotate OVEN TEMP knob to

CLEAN position and pull knob off the shaft, revealing area behind

knob.

● Insert the tip of a 3/16” standard

screwdriver into the indented area directly under the notch and turn in the desired direction. Be careful

not to scratch glass control panel.

● To increase oven temperature,

move dial one notch counterclockwise. To lower oven temperature, move dial one notch

clockwise. (Each notch represents

approximately lS°F.)

● Return knob to the range by

matching the flat area of the knob

to the shaft.

● Recheck oven performance

before making an additional

adjustment.

Lamp Replacement

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. Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE COVER.

● Replace bulb with 40-watt home

appliance bulb.

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.
