Safet yTips –Save these instructions

When You Get Your Cooking Center

Have it installed and pro-

perly grounded by a qualified installer.

. Have the installer show you the location of the range circuit breaker or fuse,

and mark it for

easy reference.

Using Your Ovens

Don’t leave children alone or unattended where an oven is hot or in use. They could be

seriously burned.

● Don’t allow anyone to climb,

stand or hang on the oven doors. They could damage the cooking center.

● CAUTION: DO NOT STORE

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

CHILDREN IN CABINETS ABOVE YOUR OVENS. CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE OVENS TRYING TO

REACH THEM COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

. Don’t use aluminum foil anywhere in the ovens except as

described in this book. Misuse could result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to the cooking center.

● Do not use water on grease

fires. Flame in the oven can be smothered by completely closing the oven door and touching the CLEAR/OFF pad.

. Never wear loose-fitting or

hanging garments when using this appliance. Flammable material could ignite and cause severe burns if it touches hot heating elements.

● Never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

● Be sure oven vent ducts are

unobstructed.

. Do not use either oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, papers can catch fire.

● Do not store flammable

materials in either oven or use

them near your ovens.

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

● When cooking pork, follow

our directions exactly and always cook it to at least 170? Then, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the pork, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat,

. Don’t heat unopened

food containers in the oven.

Pressure build-up could burst

them and cause injury.

Microwave Oven . Do

not heat nonvented plas-

tic-covered dishes in the oven.

Pressure can build up causing

the plastic covering to explode

and result in injury.

● Don’t defrest frozen bever-

ages in narrow necked bottles, especial Iy carbonated beverages. Even if the container is open, pressure can build up, causing the container to burst and cause an injury.

● Boiling eggs in or out of the

shell is not recommended for microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside theyolkand cause it to burst, causing injury.

● Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, hot

dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs should

be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing them in the oven. Twist-

ties sometimes cause bags to

heat and may cause fire.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their

lids–especially meat and egg mixtures.

● Do not pop popcorn in your

microwave oven unless it’s in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use

popcorn in a package labeled for microwave ovens. Otherwise heat generated could cause container to catch fire.

● Do not use any thermometer

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

c Don’t operate the oven while it’sempty if you want to help prolong its life and save elec-

trical energy. Ifthe oven should accidentally run empty a minute or two, no harm isdone.

● Cooking utensils may become

hot because of heat transferred from heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has covered the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

● “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly causing injury. Also, plas-

tic storage containers should beat least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal.

When cooking with containers

that are tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove

Covering

carefully and dlrect steam awa from your hands and face.

Page 5

. Don’t overcook. Excessive overcooking dehydrates potatoes, and may cause them to catch fire and cause damage.

. 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 glass or ceramic materials. It may soften or char during short periods of overcooking. Longer

overcooking may even cause the food and containers to

ignite. So: (1) Use microwave

plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the container manufacturer’s re-

commendations. (2) Do not

microwave empty containers. (3) Don’t let children use plastic containers without complete supervision.

. Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking food when used as directed. Metal trays no more than 3/4” deep may be used for TV dinners. How-

ever, when using metal in the oven, keep metal (other than the metal shelf) at least 1 inch away from oven sides.

. Sometimes the oven floor can become too hot to touch.

Be careful of it during and

after cooking. . Remove the temperature

probe from the oven when not using itto cook with. Leaving it inside the oven without inserting itin food or liquid and turn-

ing on microwave energy can . create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

. If food should ever ignite, keep oven door closed. Turn off power immediately. Touch CLEAR/OFFor disconnect power cord or shut off power at fuse/circuit breaker panel.

. Use of the Double DutyM

shelf accessory. (See

your

Cookbook for proper use.)

● Remove metal shelf from

oven when not in use. Do not store or cook with metal shelfon floor of oven. Product damage may result.

:’”. >

c Use potholders when handIinq metal shelf and utensils. Th6y maybe hot. . ~ ~~.

● Do notuse’rnicrowave b’rown-

ing dish on metal shelf. The

shelf could overheat. r. , . Use of metal shelf with

Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

Conventional Oven

. Stand away from oven when opening door. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

● Keep oven free from grease

build-up. . Place oven shelves in desired

position while oven is COOLIf

shelves must be handled when

hot, don’t let potholder touch heating units in the oven.

. Pull shelves out to shelf stop before placing food on them or removing food. This makes lifting heavy foods out of the oven more convenient. It also helps you avoid burns from touching hot surfaces of the oven door or walls.

. Use only dry potholders — moist or damp ones on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Don’t let potholderstouch hot heating elements. Don’t use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

.“

.--. ~:-

. Letoven cool before touching or letting clothing or other flaremable materials touch heating elements or other inside oven surfaces. Heating elements may be hot enough to burn even ;

though they are dark incolor.

. .

Other potentially hot surfaces include oven vent openings and

surfaces near them, crevices ~ around the oven door, and edges of the door window. ‘. ,

Cleaning

. .

Cooking Center ‘-

. Clean only parts listed in this “~: Use & Care Book.

,.,

. Do not clean door gasket—’ - “ it’sessential for a good seal. ~ Be careful not to rub, damage,

or move it.

. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other containers.

. Do not use oven cleaners. -

Noncommercial oven cleaner or

oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

. Listen for a fan. A fan noise should be heard some time during the self-cleaning cycle.

If You Need Service

How to Set your Digital Clock

The electronic digital clock on your

cooking center is an accurate solid-

state device. CLOCK MUST BE SET BEFORE

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS FOR CONVENTIONAL OVEN WILL WORK.

When power is first connected to your cooking center or after a power

; failure of any kind, the digital read-

outs on both the microwave and con-

ventional oven control panels show lighted 8’s and 18’s plus all oven functions for about 15 seconds.

How to Set the Clock

Before using the conventional oven, the electronic digital clock must be set as follows:

1. Touch the CLOCK pad. Readout shows 0:00.

2. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to set 12:34, touch number pads 1, 2, 3 and 4 in that order.

If number pads are not touched

within several seconds after you touch CLOCK pad, “EEEE” flashes and display reverts to original setting. If this happens, touch CLOCK

pad and enter numbers again.

you enter an impossibletime

such as 12:84, the readout flashes “ EEEE” for Error. To correct it, j ust touch the correct number pads and the clock starts.

If PF appears, touch the CLOCK pad and then the numbers to start the clock.

To check the time of day when readout is displaying other information, simply touch the CLOCK

pad. Time of day shows for as long

as your finger is on the pad. To correct the time of day, touch

the CLOCK pad and enter the correct numbers.

NOTE: Time of day cannot be changed during a conventional oven cooking operation.

Questions and Answers Q.

When I came home from shopping the readout showed PF instead of the time. What happened?

A. Your home had a brief power fail-

ure while you were gone. Nothing is wrong with your clock—just reset it.

Q. When changing the time of day,

if I touch the CLOCK pad and then discover that the time shown is right, do I have to reset the clock?

A. No. The original time of day will

reappear in about 15 seconds after

“EEEE” flashes. Q. Can 1change the clock while I’m

cooking food in the conventional oven?

A. No. The clock cannot be changed

during any program that uses the

oven timer or the readout display.

You must either stop those programs or wait until they are finished before changing the time.

. e

--—

Then all lights go off and RESET appears in the upper readout, PF (for Power Failure) appears in the

ower one.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad on the upper touch control panel and the microwave oven is ready to use.

3. Touch the START pad. This enters the time and starts the clock. If you don’t touch this pad, the clock starts automatically after six seconds.

Q. Can I check the time of day while

the readout is showing minute/

second time? A. Yes. Simply touch CLOCK pad

and time of day shows for as long as your finger is on the pad. Readout

reverts to minute/second time as soon as you take your finger off the pad.

Page 10

How to Use the Minute/Second Timer on

Conventional Oven Control Panel

your

The electronic digital clock doubles as a minute/second timer. During the minute/second timing function, it counts down the time you set to 0:00 and signals when the time is up. You may program itto time cook-

ing or other household activities for

up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds.

Numbers on the left of the colon are minutes; numbers on the right are seconds.

How to Set the Minute/Second Timer

1. Touch the MI N/SEC TIMER Dad. Readout shows 0:00 and the word TIMER glows steadily.

Questions and Answers

Q. Can I check the time of day while the readout display isshowing minute/second time?

A. Yes. Simply touch the CLOCK

pad and the readout shows time of day until you remove your finger, then the display reverts back to minute/second time.

Q. Can 1use the Minute/Second

Timer during oven cooking? A. The Minute/Second Timer can be

used during any cooking function.

●

2. Touch the number pads for the minutes and seconds, just the way you read them. For example, to enter

10 minutes and 45 seconds, touch 1,

0,4 and 5 in that order.

If you make a mistake, touch

MI N/SEC TIMER pad and begin

again.

3. Touch the MiN/SEC TIMER pad. This starts the timer immediately.

If you don’t touch it, the timer starts automatically after 6 seconds. W&d TIMER stays on in readout and time counts down to 0:00.

4. When time is up, readout shows 0:00 and a signal sounds until you touch the MIN/SECTIMER pad.

Readout then shows the time of day.

Automatic Cooking in your Microwave

Oven

The Auto Cook feature may be used to eliminate your need to look up cooking time in the Cookbook or guesss 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 cooking containers must be covered during automatic cooking, this feature is best with

foods that you want to steam or

retain moisture. Foods that are

best microwaved uncovered or only lightly covered should be cooked using time or temperature settings.

Note ‘

Use of the metal Double Duty~ ~ shelf with Automatic is not recommended.

Cooking

Containers and Covers

● Always use microwavesafe

containers and cover them with lids or plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s micro-

wave safe? Put it to test described in your Cookbook.

. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

. Cover food loosely with plastic

wrap to allow for expansion, and seal the wrap by pressing it firmly around the edges of the container.

For best results, never stretch plastic wrap tightly over food.

. Do not use paper plates when

cooking foods automatically.

. Match the amount of food to the

size of the container. Fill containers at least half full.

. Be sure outside of cooking con-

tainer and inside of microwave oven are dry before placing food in oven.

Beads of moisture turning into steam

can mislead the sensor.

. To microwave frozen entrees in paperboard trays, remove tray from

box but do not remove film over tray.

● To microwave frozen food in metal

trays, remove foil, reinsert tray into

box and close ends.

● Slit plastic pouches as shown on

page 15.

. Always stir or rotate food after

beeping signal.

Keep door closed

Do not open door while word AUTO

is displayed—steam escaping from oven can affect cooking performance. If door is opened, word ERROR appears. Close door and touch START immediately.

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic cooking code numbers indicate amount of power delivered. Code 1 gives least amount of microwave cooking power, Code 9 gives the most.

Code 1, designed for reheating foods quickly, turns oven off auto matically 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, automatical Iy switches to

Time Cook, signals, and word AUTO on readout is replaced by countdown numbers indicating cooking time. When signal is heard, oven door may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.

A chart behind the oven door lists cooking codes for frequently prepared fresh or frozen foods and appropriate codes are recommended in the recipes and cooking chart on pages 14 through 20.

Easy to use

Simply touch three control pads–

AUTO COOK, desired CODE

NUMBER and START. Word AUTO appears on readout and sensor is activated to sense steam from food.

Page 12

Automatic Cooking [continued)

Example of How to Use

Automatic Cooking

1. Place properl y covered food in oven. Touch AUTO COOK pad. “Enter Code” flashes on readout.

2. Touch number pad for desired code. Code shows and “Start” flashes on readout. Touch START pad.

“.,

4. Beep sounds when steam is sensed and AUTO is replaced on

readout by cooking time numerals counting down. Stir, turn or rotate food when beep is heard. Be careful of steam—when removing covers, direct steam away from hands and face. When cook time countdown ends, oven beeps and stops.

Want shorter or longer cooking time? Use the Preference Control.

By simply adding a 1 after any code number from 2 through 9, you

can set the oven to cook for 20%

less time than the code would regularlycall for. Forexampie, if Code 4

cooks your vegetables more done than you like them, set Code 41 next time and you’ll get 20% shorter cooking time.

Likewise, if you want a longer

cooking time than a code calls for, add a 9 after the code. For the vegetables in the example above,

Code 49 would provide 20% longer

cooking time than the regular

Code 4 would provide.

When selecting Preference Control

1 or 9:

● place properly covered food in

oven. Touch AUTO COOK pad. “Enter Code” flashes on readout.

● Touch desired code and prefer-

ence code numerals in that order.

Desired code shows and “Start”

flashes on readout.

. Touch START pad. Word AUTO

shows on readout. Do not open door

until first oven signal; then stir, turn

or rotate food. Close door and touch

START pad again. When done, oven

beem and stoDs.

3. Wbrd AUTO shows on readout, indicating steam sensor is activated.

cut off after the AUTO cycle when -

using Auto Cook Control Code 1

when it doesn’t 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 of AUTO.

Q. If the food isn’t completely cooked after using the suggested Auto Cook control code, what

should I do? A. Thick starchy or dense foods

may require some additional Time Cooking. Use TIME COOK and Power Level 10 for a few minutes until completion.

allfresh or frozen vegetables

Q. Do require a standing period after cooking with AUTO COOK?

A. Most vegetables cook 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 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 Cmk?

A. Oven senses steam too quickly.

Cooking time is shortened and dish

is undercooked. Recover 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 suc-

cessful tip in regular microwaving.

Q. Should 1use Auto Cook to cook pudding or sauces?

A. No. Since most pudding and

sauce recipes require stirring many times during cooking, Time Cook should be used. Opening the door during the AUTO phase of cooking can unfavorably affect the cooking results.

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. My scalloped potatoes were not

completely cooked when I removed the dish after Auto Cook. What’s wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in

the oven before you combined the sauce with the potatoes, too much moisture may have remained in the

oven. Make sure you dry the oven completely before using Auto Cook since this function operates pro-

perly by sensing steam in the oven, Also, starting Auto Cook with hot foods creates steam in the oven too soon, and shortens the first sensing cycle.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water when using Auto Cook?

A. Yes. Add water to the vegetables

as recommended on chart and cover well for even, complete cooking.

Q. Are my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids appropriate

for Automatic Cooking? A. No. Most types of plastic storage

dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids should never be used for any microwaving process. During Automatic Cooking, tight fitting lids lids may not let enough steam escape and food may not cook properly.

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 sensor function. Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles, potato chips and other such foods do not have enough moisture.

Q. Should 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 Main Dishes in your Microwave Oven

Meats, Fish & Poultry

Meat and fish loaves call for either

round or loaf microwave-safe containers. For fish loaves made with precooked or canned fish, use Auto Cook Code 4. For beef loaf, use

Auto Cook Code 8. Cover with

plastic wrap.

Whole chicken, chicken breasts and pieces, or turkey parts should

be placed in a microwave-safe 8-in. square dish, 8 x 12 x 2-in. dish or 3 qt. casserole. Cover securely with plastic wrap or container lid. If cooking bag is used for whole chicken, shield breast bone with small strip

of foil. Use Auto Cook Code 4.

Chuck roasts should be placed in a cooking bag with K cup water and placed in microwave-safe dish. Cut bag to fit close to the size of the

roast and tie open end securely. Cut a I-lfi” slit near the tie. Use Auto Cook Code 99 which is Code 9 with

the added digit 9 extending cooking

time 20%.

Fish fillets, whole fish or seafood

pieces should be in a single layer

in a flat pie plate or oblong dish to fit. Cover with plastic wrap or container lid. Use Auto Cook Code 2 for fillets, Auto Cook Code 1 for seafood pieces.

Spare ribs and brisket should

be automatically cooked in round glass container with lid or plastic wrap. Make sure liquid covers meat.

Microwave using Auto Cook Code 9.

Casserole Recipes

To adapt your casserole recipes for Automatic Cooking:

1. Select recipes that don’t require adding ingredients at different stages during cooking or recipes that don’t require extra attention, stirring or rotating.

2. Use 3-quart or smaller microwavesafe containers that are appropriate in size to the amount of food.

3. For saucy casseroles, cover con-

tainer with lid or plastic wrap with no vents. For cheese or crumb-topped casseroles, remove cover after oven signals, add topping, and continue cooking uncovered.

4. Let precooked ingredients or hot sauces cool slightly before adding other ingredients.

5. Make sure meats and vegetables

are submerged in liquid.

Pork chops automatically cook well in 8 x12x 2-in. dish, covered with

plastic wrap. Add barbeque sauce or other sauce on each chop. Microwave usina Auto Cook Code 69.

Automatic Cooking

Fresh or Canned Vegetables

Whole or large halves of vegetables

such as cauliflower or squash call for Auto Cook Code 5. Use round or square container nearly the size of the vegetable. Add 1/2 cup water. Cover with lid or plastic wrap.

Vegetables in your Microwave Oven

Precooked/canned vegetables

should be placed in round contain-

er similar in size to amount being cooked (at least half full). Use Auto Cook Code 1. Stir before serving.

Frozen Vegetables

Pouches of frozen vegetables should be slit 1/2” in center before placing

directl yon oven floor. Use Auto Cook Code 4.

Pieces or slices of vegetables require

1/4 to 1/2 cup of water. Use appr~

priate size covered container. Use

●

Auto Cook Code 5.

For broccoi i spears use Code 51.

Dry root vegetables like carrots may need to be stirred after oven signals and time remaining appears on readout. Re-cover and touch “Start” to finish cooking.

Block or loose pieces of frozen vegetables should be placed in suit-

able size container (at least half full) with Iid or plastic wrap. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons water. Use Auto Cook Code 3. Stir after oven signals and time remaining appears on readout.

Another way is to slit the pouch with an “X” shaped slit and place it in a glass container with “X” downward. After cooking, pick up pouch and empty food into dish through “X” opening. For vegetable spears, remove to dish after signal.

Automatic Roasting in your Microwave Oven

See Auto Roast Chart on page 22.

Automatic Roasting puts the temperature probe to work as it cooks meats to the degrees of doneness you want. The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food–the best test of doneness for many foods.

HANDLE CABLE

CLIP

The oven continually monitors the food’s internal temperature and

changes power levels two or three times during cooking. Meat gener-

ally cooks without toughening and

retains its natural juices because lower power levels are used as the

meat temperature rises.

When appropriate internal food

temperature is reached, the oven switches automatically to HOLD for an hour and food stays warm without overcooking.

Only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted. Less tender ones should be microwaved by time. Your Cookbook and page 25 of this book tell

you how to Time Cook.

How to Prepare

Roasts for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roast on trivet in microwave-safe dish. Insert probe

horizontally into center meaty area so it does not touch bone or fat. Cover with wax paper.

Poultry, pork or ham roasts don’t

need a trivet. Add 1/2 cup water to roast dish, cover with plasic wrap, and insert probe horizontal Iy into center meaty area. (For cooking bag method, see your Cookbook.)

How to Auto Roast

Beef to Medium

Touch AUTO ROAST pad. Readout flashes “Enter Code.”

Touch number pad 3. “START” flashes.

Touch START. Readout shows AUTO.

At 80°, readout switches to show

meat’s internal temperature.

Oven monitors meat’s internal temperature, automatically switches to lower power as temperature rises.

Place meat into the oven and insert the cable end of the probe firmly into the receptacle on the oven wall.

When temperature is reached, oven switches to HOLD for one hour, then shuts off.

~Recommended standing time before serving.

Questions and Answers

Whywasn’t my roast fully cooked

even though the temperature on the readout was correct and Auto 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? A. Yes. Flat glass trivets generally

provide more browning to the bottom of meats than plastic trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roast-

ing 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.

Q. When I’m cooking with Auto

Roast, why doesn’t my roast continue to cook during the holding time?

A. When your food reaches finished

temperature, the oven automatically

switches to a lower heat level. The even temperature that’s maintained

in the food during this holding period

keeps it warm without overcooking.

Automatic Defrosting in your Microwave Oven

Your microwave oven automatically calculates defrosting time, changes power levels during defrosting, tells you when to turn your food, and

holds food for a short time after defrosting time is up to finish the thawing of the inside of the food.

Here’s what you do:

Before you start to

Auto Defrost

First, check the Auto Defrost chart

below or the one at the bottom of the oven when you open the door. They show minimum and maximum food weights for each code number.

Then, if your food’s weight is stated in pounds and ounces, use the chart below to convert ounces to tenths (.1) of a pound.

Conversion Chart

1 to 2 ounces

3 ounces =.2 pounds 4 to 5 ounces =.3 pounds 6 to 7 ounces = .4 pounds 8 ounces

9 to 10 ounces =.6 pounds 11ounces =.7 pounds 12 to 13 ounces 14 to 15 ounces =.9 pounds

=.1 pound

=.5 pounds

=.8 pounds

How to Auto Defrost

1. Place frozen food in a microwavesafe dish, put it in the oven and close the door. (Food frozen in

paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. )

2. Touch Auto Defrost pad. “Enter Code” flashes on readout.

3. Enter selected code from chart.

For example, ground beef calls for Code 3.

4. Enter weight. For example, touch

number pads 3 and Ofor weight of 3 pounds. Display shows 3.0, Code 3, and “Start” flashes.

Note: If ERROR appears after you enter food weight, check the Code Chart to make sure weight corresponds to the code number you entered.

5. Touch START pad. Defrost time begins counting down on readout.

6. When half the defrosting time is up, the oven signals and “TURN”

flashes in the readout. Open the door and turn your food over.

7. Close the door and touch the START pad–defrosting will not con-

tinue until you do. Readout shows

remaining defrosting time counting

down.

8. When defrosting time is up, oven

automatically switches to a HOLD period (5 minutes for Code 3). HOLD shows in readout.

9. When holding time is up, the oven signals, “END” flashes, and the oven turns off.

4. Touch START pad. Def Time Left shows and time counts down on display. When time’s up, “END’ flashes, the oven signals and automatically shuts off.

To enhance even defrosting, some foods may be broken up or separated part way through the defrosting period. This is a good time to do it.

5. Turn package over, close door and repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START I hear a

dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It’s letting

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 the POWER LEVEL

pad and number pads 7 or 10. Power

Level 7 cuts the time about in half.

Power Level 10 cuts the time to approximately a third. Whichever you choose, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Can I open the door during

MANUAL DEFROST to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any

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

Display reads :0 and Power 3. “Enter Def Time” flashes.

3. Touch number pad 8, then MIN pad. Def Time, 8:00 and Power 3 are displayed.

6. When oven signals, “END” flashes. Remove package and sep-

arate chops, if you haven’t already done so, 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 defrosting time.

. Homemade dinners can in shallow foil trays and heated for later use. Select foods which micro-

wave wel I. . Pre-packaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microwave cooked.

. Check your Cookbook for other defrosting tips.

be frozen

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. When I’m entering minutes with no seconds, do 1need to touch “O”

and then “O”?

A. No. You touch the number pad

for minutes, then touch Ml N pad which automatically enters “00” for seconds.

How to Time Cook in your Microwave Oven

Time Cooking is probably familiar to you from conventional cooking.

With your microwave oven, you preset the desired cmking time and the oven turns itself off automatically when the time is up.

Paper towels, wax paper, and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes

in order to retain moisture and pre vent spattering when you’re Time Cooking.

How to Time Cook

Here’s a good example:

1. Fill a cup 2/3 full of water and add 1 teaspoon of freeze dried coffee. Use a cup that has no metal decoration. Place cup in oven and close

door.

3. Select your time. Touch 1,2, and Ofor a minute and 20 seconds. Cook Time, Power 10 and 1:20 appear on the display. If another Power Level is desired, touch POWER LEVEL and desired number pads, although Power Level 10 (HIGH) is preferred

for this cup of coffee.

4. Touch START pad. Cook Time Left, Power 10 and time counting

down show on the display.

5. When time’s up, oven signals. Display flashes “END.” Oven, light

and fan shut off.

Note: When lower oven is cleaning

itself, the microwave oven fan will stay on until OVEN LOCKED indicator Iight goes out.

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 the minimum time in the recipe, test the food for doneness, and then cook your dish a little longer

if necessary. Q. I want to cook my dish on a power

level other than HIGH. What do I have to do?

A. Touch the Power Level pad

to change the power level. ” Enter

Power” flashes on the display panel. Enter the desired number.

Q. Can I interrupt my Time Cook

function to check my food? A. Yes. Opening the door shuts

microwave power off. Closing the

door and touching the START pad turns it on again and cooking continues.

Q. I touched the number pads and

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

A. The TIME COOK pad must be

touched before you set the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

2. Touch the TIME COOK pad. The readout shows:0 and Power 10.

“Enter Cook Time” flashes.

Page 26

How to Temp Cook in your Microwave Oven

Temp Cook relies on the temperature probe to cook food to the de-

sired degree of doneness. It takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven shuts off automatically when the food is done. Heating or reheating foods accurately to the serving temperature you prefer is simple and easy.

How to Temp Cook a Rolled Roast to Medium

1. Insert temperature probe into meat as directed in your Cookbook

or in Auto Roast section on page

21 of this book. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on

oven wall.

2. Touch TEMP COOK pad. Display shows F and Power 10.” EnterTemp” flashes.

3. Touch 1,3,0 for 130? Temp, 130F and Power 10 show on the

display.

5. Touch START pad. If internal temperature of the roast is less than 80? display will show COOL. If temperature is 80° or ‘above, display will show temperature counting up.

6. When 130° is reached, the oven will signal .Remove probe and food from oven.

Cooking Tips

● Use a lower power level setting—

it will heat more evenly even though it takes more time.

. Be sure frozen food has been

completely defrosted before you

insert the probe. The probe may break off if you try to insert it into

still-frozen foods. . Always insert the probe into the

center of meaty areas. Take care not to touch fat or bone.

● Insert the 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 the

Cookbook to enhance moisture control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I followed the steps and touched the START pad, “ERROR” flashed in the display and a signal sounded. What’s wrong?

A. “ERROR” flashes if you set the

temperature either below 80 or above 199? The oven tells you, between the flashing of “ERROR:’

what incorrect entry was made. To

re-enter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad

and begin again.

Q. Are there any foods 1can’t Temp Cook?

A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc. soften rapidly at warm tempera-

tures. 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 on the display 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 pad and forget to use the

probe.

Q. Can 1leave 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,

Can I Temp Cook different

Q. portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes.The temperature probe gives

you the freedom to cook different

portions of food at different temper-

aturestosuit individual eating styles

Simply place the probe in the food

and chage the temperature setting as needed.

4. Touch POWER LEVEL pad. “Enter Power” flashes. Touch 5 for MEDIUM power. Temp, 130F and Power 5 show on display.

flashes.

2. Touch number pads 3,0 and O (for 3 minutes and no seconds).

Readout shows 3:00 and HOLD.

3. Touch START pad. Readout shows Hold Time Left and time counting down.

4. When time is up, oven signals, readout flashes “END” and shows time of day.

How to Defrost, Hold and Time Cook

Let’s say you want to defrost a frozen casserole for 15 minutes, hold for 10 minutes and then Time Cook for 25 minutes. Here’s how to do it:

1. Take casserole from freezer and place it in the oven.

Readout shows Enter Def Time, :0,

and Power 3.

3. Touch padsl, 5and MIN forl5minutes defrosting time. Def Time, 15:00

and Power 3 appear on readout.

4. Set hold time bytouching HOLD/

TIMER pad. Readout shows Enter Time and :0.

5. Touch pads 1, 0 and MIN for

10 minutes holding time. Readout shows 10:00 and HOLD.

8. Touch START pad. Readout shows Def Time Left, Power 3 and

15:00 counting down.

As each function is automatically performed, readout shows the information you entered as you set up the oven to defrost, hold and cook.

Questions and Answers

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

A. The oven automatically re-

arranges your program. Defrosting always comes first, then hold, 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 have to do is program in Defrost and the 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.

2. Touch MANUAL DEFROST pad.

6. Touch TIME COOK pad. Readout

shows Enter Cook Time, :0 and

Power 10.

7. Touch pads 2, 5 and MIN for 25 minutes of cooking time. Read-

out shows Cook Time, 25:00 and

Power 10.

Q. I programmed my oven for a

specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What 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 for2 minutes and

ignore your first defrost instruction.

Using your Conventional Oven

Your oven is designed to give best results in baking, roasting

and broiling when used as recom-

mended.

Before using it, look at the directions in this book for setting its electronic controls. Then open the oven and take note of the abbreviated instructions on the inside of

the door. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and re-

placing them. And, while you’re at it, locate the broil unit at the top of

the oven and bake unit just off the oven floor.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop locks. When you place them correctly

on the shelf supports, they’ll stop

before coming completely out of the oven. What’s more, they will not tilt when you’re removing food or when you are placing food on them.

To remove shelves from the oven,

make sure they’re cool. Then Iift

up the rear of the shelf and pull it

forward with the stoplocks along the top of the shelf supports.

To replace shelves in the oven,

insert the shelf with stoplocks rest-

ing on the shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear of oven until it falls into

place. When shelf is in proper position, stoplocks on shelf will run under the shelf support when the shelf is pulled forward.

Shelf Positions

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically

when the door is opened.

To turn the light on when the door is

closed, use the switch on the door near the handle.

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.

‘w

Page 29

How to Bake and Time Bake in your Conventional Oven

See Baking Chart on page 33.

When set to bake, the oven cooks by dry heat. Both bake and broil

units are energized (the broil unit at reduced wattage) until the oven temperature you select (from 150° to 550°) is reached. The temperature control then turns the oven heating units off and onto maintain the desired oven temperature. In a

quiet kitchen, you may hear a slight “click” sound during cooking as the heating units are turned off and on.

The oven temperature displayed in the readout will show –90° or higher than actual room tempera-

ture until the oven temperature

reaches 150? This is normal.

As the oven heats, the temperature in the readout may seesaw a few degrees. This, too, isnormal because the electronic control accurately indicates slight changes in air temperature.

Most foods cook satisfactorilyy without preheating the oven. If pre heating is required, put your food

into the oven promptly when the oven signals that the desired temperature has been reached.

When cooking food for the first time, use the time given in your

recipe as a guide. Don’t open the oven door to check

on foods anymore often than necessary—doing so could cause undesirable baking results. Check when minimum time shown on recipe is up. Then cook food longer, if necessary.

Note: Cooking controls will not work after automatic oven cleaning until the oven has cooled and you touch the CLEAN pad and unlatch the door.

How to Set your Oven

7. When baking is done, touch

CLEAR/OFF pad to turn the oven off. Be sure foods are done before taking them out of the oven.

How to Time Bake

Your oven can beset to turn on and off automaticallyy. However, foods will continue to cook when left in the oven, even though it’sturned off. That’s why you should not use the

Bake Time or Stop Time feature when timing is critical unless you’ll be on hand to take foods out of the oven when they’re done.

To set Immediate Start (oven starts

immediately and turns off automat-

ically at later time):

1. Touch BAKE pad.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why aren’t my foods done even though they’ve cmked the full time?

A. You may have opened the oven

door too often during the cooking cycle and let the heat escape. Or perhaps you didn’t remove all con-

tainers other than those in use for

baking. And maybe you didn’t allow

one inch space between containers

used and oven walls. Your elec-

tronic oven temperature control

is very accurate and should not require any adjustment.

Q. If the readout doesn’t show the

correct time of day, may I use Bake

Time and Stop fime? A. Yes, but to start and stop at the

time you wish to serve your meal, you should reset the clock to the correct time. Do it before you enter

Bake Time and Stop Time.

Q. How do I bake at high altitudes? A. You’ll have to change the tem-

perature and time of cooking as wel I as alter your measurements.

For best results and further infor-

mation, check your Cookbook or state agricultural station.

Q. How do 1use the automatic oven timer if I want to begin cooking immediately but want the oven to shut off while I’m gone?

A. Touch BAKE pad and enter the

desired oven temperature by touch-

ing the number pads. Then touch

STOP TIME pad and enter the time at which you want the oven to shut off. Touch START pad to begin cooking.

Note: Food will continue to cook if

left in a hot oven. Q. Are there certain foods that are

not recommended for Time Bake? A. Foods that are highly perish-

able such as milk, eggs, fish, stuff-

ings, poultry and pork should not be cooked automatically unless the standing time in the oven is not more than two hours before or after cook-

ing. Foods should always be chilled

in the refrigerator before cooking when you use a Delayed Start.

How to Roast in your Conventional Oven

See Roasting Chart on page 36.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. It’s really a baking procedure used

for meats. That’s why you use the

Bake controls for roasting.

Roasting temperatures, which should below and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting,

it’s not necessary to sear, baste, cover or add water to your meat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered.

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

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.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing in the oven or after

●

being removed from it. Take this into consideration when determining your cooking time.

How to Set Oven for Roasting

1. Use shelf position indicated on the Roasting Chart on page 36. For very tall roasts, remove the second oven shelf.

2. Place meat inside the oven and close the door.

3. Touch BAKE pad. Display shows

BAKE and a flashing indicator light

points to OVEN TEMP.

How to Set Oven When

Using Temperature Probe

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cook-

ing foods to the exact doneness you want. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, the OVEN

AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF and signals until the CLEAR/OFF pad

is touched.

1. Insert probe into meat. Then plug probe into receptacle on oven wall.

2. Touch BAKE pad. Display shows BAKE and a flashing indicator light points to OVEN TEMP. Touch number pads 3, 2 and 5 to enter the desired oven temperature of 325?

To cook frozen meat roasts without thawing, allow more cooking time.

For large roasts, add 10 to 25 min-

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

To slowdown 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 make sure it’s done evenly. Some, how-

ever, can be cooked successfully without thawing. Check the packer’s

label for specific directions.

4. Touch number pads 3,2 and 5 to enter 325° oven temperature. (The

exception is small poultry which is roasted at 3750).

5. Touch START pad to begin roasting. Display shows oven temperature as it rises, and signal

sounds when desired temperature

is reached.

3. Touch FOODTEMP pad. Flashing indicator points to FOOD TEMP on

display. Use number pads to enter desired finished meat temperature from 90° to 199° Probe must be

inserted into receptacle or” Prob”

flashes on display.

4. Touch START pad. Display shows

oven temperature rising to preset temperature. Display also shows actual food temperature rising. Signal sounds when desired temperature is reached.

5. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to turn

signal off.

6. When food is cooked, touch CLEAR/OFF pad to turn oven off.

Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe for Conventional Roasting

The temperature probe serves

both the Conventional and Micro-

wave oven. It has a skewer-1 ike

probe atone end and a plug at the other end that goes into a receptacle on the oven wall. Use handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing these parts from meat and wall receptacle. Do not use tongs to pull on cable when removing probe at end of cooking—they might damage it.

After preparing meat and placing it on the roasting pan rack, follow

these steps for proper probe

placement.

1. Lay the probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the probe. Point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

2. Insert the probe into the meat up to the point marked off with your

finger. It should not touch bone, fat or gristle. No more than two

●

inches of the probe, not counting

the handle, should be left exposed

outside the meat.

3. Plug the other end of the cable into the receptacle, making sure that it is securely seated, all the way in. Close the oven door.

Poultry Insert probe into meatiest part of inner thigh from below and parallel

to the leg of a whole turkey.

Casseroles or Fish

Insert probe into center of dishes such as meatloaf or casseroles. When cooking fish, insert probe from just above gill into meatiest area, parallel to backbone.

Ham or Lamb Insert probe into cut end, meatiest part of ham or lamb without a bone.

For bone-in ham or lamb, insert probe into center of lowest large muscle or joint.

Questions and Answers

Q. 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 thick-

ness as possible. Or buy a rolled roast.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when roasting a turkey?

A. You shouldn’t. Sealing it will

steam the meat. Leaving the “tent” unsealed lets air circulate and brown the meat.

Q. Why does my roast crumble

when I try to carve it?

A. It’s probably too warm. Roasts

are easier to slice if you let them

cool for 10 or 20 minutes after you take them out of the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Can the temperature probe stay

in the oven when it’s not inserted

in food?

A. It shouldn’t. Remove it from the

receptacle when it’s not in use. You

could damage the probe by leaving

it in the oven during cooking oper-

ations that do not require its use.

Q. May 1insert the probe into frozen foods?

A. No. It could break. Foods must be

completely defrosted first.

How to Broil in your

See Broiling Chart on page 41.

Conventional Oven

Broiling is cooking finds by intense radiant heat from the upper heating unit in the oven. When food is broiled, only one side at a time is

exposed to the heating source. Most fish steaks or fillets and tender cuts of meat such as steaks or chops are best when broiled.

Your oven lets you choose between two convenient broiling methods.

With the first method, you touch the BROIL pad, then the START pad and the oven broils on the fastest rate (5) automatically.

The second method, or Variable

Broil, gives you the option of choosing a lower broil rate (less heat) from 1 to 4.

No matter which method you use,

the following suggestions apply:

● place meaton the broiler rack on

the broiler pan. Always use the rack so fat drips into the pan.

● place pan in Oven on Shelf in pOSi-

C. If your oven is connected to

tion

208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled

by preheating the broil heater and

placing the oven shelf one position

higher.

. Leave the door ajar about 3 inches.

It stays open by itself. Proper tem-

perature is maintained in the oven

with the door partially open.

. Turn food only once during

cooking.

How to Set Oven for

Broiling

For regular broiling, like you’ve

always been used to, do this:

1. Touch the BROIL pad. Display shows BROIL.

2. Touch the START pad to begin cooking. Oven is automatically set to broil at the high rate, with 100% power.

How to Adjust Oven for a Lower Broil Rate

You can also set your oven to broil

at a lower rate from 1 (low) to 4

(medium high). Foods broil slower, and the broil flavor develops over a longer time.

1. Place food in oven on shelf in

C position. Touch the BROIL pad. Display shows BROIL.

2. Touch a number pad–1, 2,3 or 4–for the desired Broil Rate. Display shows BROIL RATE and the selected code number.

3. Touch the START pad to begin cooking.

4. Turn meat over when recommended broiling time for first side is up,

5. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad to shut

broil heater off when cooking is finished.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it OK to line the broiler pan

and rack with aluminum foil? A. Yes, if you mold the foil

thoroughly to the rack and slit it to conform to the slits in the rack. These slits let meat juices drain

into the broiler pan. This minimizes smoking and spattering and helps prevent the possibility of fire from

overheated drippings. Q. Should 1salt the meat before

broiling?

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage)

to the oven maybe low. [f so in your

area, preheat the oven with the broil

unit for 10 minutes before placing

food in the oven.

Another possible reason—you

might not be using the recommended shelf position,

Also see if this works. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Chart on page 41, and turn food only once.

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing meat with a fork also lets juices escape.

fish, brush each side often with

butter.

Q. When broiling, is it always neces-

sary to use a rack in the pan? A. Yes. The rack suspends the meat

over the pan. As the meat cooks, the

juices drop into the pan and keep

the meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler. This prevents excessive smoking and

spatter. Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

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

to reflect broiler heat. This keeps the surface cool enough to prevent

meat from sticking to the surface.

Page 41

Broiling Chart for your Conventional Oven

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that

came with your oven. It is designed to min-

imize 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 crossways through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.

How to Broil with Temperature Probe in your Conventional Oven

and Cook Code

Use Broil Code settings 10 through

14 for broiling foods with the help of the temperature probe. With this shortcut method, you enter only two digits and the oven does the rest. The selected code determines the

finished food temperature. It sets

the variable broil power level. And

the oven even tells you when to turn the meat over.

Caution: Probe is not recommended when preheating the oven is required because you might be burned touching the hot broil heating unit.

Use hotpads when removing probe after cooking is done. Do not use tongs to pull on it–they might damage it.

Do not unplug probe from oven receptacle during cooking. Cooking program will be cancelled if you do.

Questions and Answers

Q. 1selected Cook Code setting 14,

but when I touched the START pad, the oven signaled and the readout showed “Prob.” What happened?

A. Cook Code setting 14 is a tem-

perature-controlled cooking cycle. You forgot to use the temperature

probe. Q. Does the oven have to be pre-

heated?

A. For most broiling purposes,

no. You may preheat it if you wish

when broiling very thin foods or to increase browning.

Q. May I change the broil rate or

finished fmd temperature when using Cook Codes 10 through 14?

A. No. If you want a different broil rate or finished food temperature,

you must select a Variable Broil Code. Touch the BROIL pad, then number pad for broil rate if it’s other than 5. Next, touch FOOD TEMP pad and number pads for desired finished food temperature. Then touch START pad.

Q. MY steaks and chops always curl up when I broil. How can I prevent this?

A. Before broiling, slash the fat evenly around the edges of each steak or chop. Cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat.

Q. May I broil other foods in my

oven at the same time I cook steak with Cook Code Control?

A. No. Even when you cook nothing

but several steaks, if they vary in

thickness, you’ll get an accurate

reading of internal food tempera-

ture only from the steak with the

Care and Cleaning of your Cooking Center

Proper care and cleaning are important so your Cooking Center will give you efficient and satisfactory ser-

vice. 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 it as soon

as possible after use. Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub metal parts

with a plastic scouring pad if neces-

sary. Rinse and dry. DO NOT wash the probe in an automatic dishwasher.

Aluminum Foil on Shelves–

why you shouldn’t 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 bean

increase in heat on the outside surfaces of the oven.

Oven Lamp

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

Accessory

Use it in the microwave oven only. It must have food on it when the microwave oven is in use. Do not use a browning dish on this shelf.

Clean shelf in dishwasher or wilh hot water and mild detergent only.

Shelf

Precautions for Use of

Metal

Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook. Metal trays no more than 3/4” deep

ners, and the metal temperature

probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sides of oven.

may be used for TV din-

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 wip

ing with a solution of baking soda

and water keeps the interior fresh.

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL

OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Wipe up spatters on the glass on the inside of the door daily. Wash

glass, 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.

Do not remove the plastic antenna

cover at the top of the oven (see

page 6). You will damage the oven if you do.

Using a Brown ‘N Sear Dish? Use

Bar Keepers Friend RCleanser.

High heat generated on the bottom

of the Brown ‘N Sear Dish can cause

scorched appearing stains to bake onto the oven floor if grease is pre sent. These may be removed with

Bar Keepers Friend RCleanser by SerVaas Laboratories, Inc.

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.

Bar Keepers Friend RCleanser is

sold in many grocery, hardware and department st~res.

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

cover. That’s because there’s Iittle

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.

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 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.

Use of Aluminum Foil in

Broiling

If you wish, you may line the broiler pan with aluminum 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 broiler pan prevents the rack from serving its purpose and MAY LET JUICES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO

CATCH FIRE.

General Directions

Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit. Any soil will burn off when the unit is heated. NOTE: The bake unit is not hinged and cannot be lifted to clean the oven floor. If

spillover, residue, or ash accumulates around the bake unit, gently wipe around the

unit with warm water,

Drain fat, cool pan and rack slightly. (Do not let soiled pan and rack stand in oven to cool). Sprinkle on detergent. Fill pan with warm water and spread cloth orpapertowel over the rack. Let both stand for a few minutes. Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. OPTION: The broiler pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Wash all alass with cloth damDened in soa~v water. Rinse and ~olish with a drvcloth. Wash, rinse, and then polish with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE steel wool, abrasives,

ammonia, acids, or commercial oven cleaners which may damage the finish.

Avoid cleaning powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the enamel.

If acids spill on the oven while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse.

For other spills, such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water when cooled and then rinse. Polish with a dry cloth.

CLEAN ONLY THE DOOR LINER OUTSIDE THE GASKET. The door is automatically cleaned when the oven is in the self-cleaning cycle. If spillover or spattering should occur in cooking function, wipe the door with soap and water. DO NOT rub or damage gasket. Avoid getting soap and water on the gasket or in the rectangular flanges on the door.

Avoid aettina ANY cleanina materials on the aasket.

Cool before cleaning. Frequent wiping with mild soap and water will prolong the time between major cleanings. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. For heavy soiling, use your self-cleaning cycle often.

Shelves can be cleaned in the oven with the self-cleaning function. For heavy soil,

clean by hand using soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap after cleaning.

Page 46

How to Operate your

Self-Cleaning Oven

It takes only a few minutes to start the self-cleaning cycle for your Conventional Oven. After you set it to clean itself, high heat causes the soil inside the oven to disappear.

It either turns into a small amount of ash or it evaporates into an odorless and colorless vapor. After a cooling off period, your oven is ready for use again.

The automatic cleaning cycle takes

3 hours. No more, no less.

No other function of the Conven-

tional Oven except Minute/Second timing can be used until the selfcleaning cycle is over and the oven door is unlatched. However, that won’t stop you from using your

Microwave Oven as much as you

want while the lower oven is cleaning itself.

Caution: One thing you must be careful of is your Cooking Center’s control panel. Don’t clean it while

the Conventional Oven is in a selfcleaning cycle. If you accidentally touch its CLEAR/OFF pad, you’ll stop the self-cleaning cycle before the cleaning’s done.

NOTE: Fan in Microwave Oven

comes on when Lock Light is glowing during lower oven’s selfcleaning cycle. You may use the

Microwave Oven during this time.

To Set Your Oven for

Self-Cleaning

1. Empty the oven except for its

shelves. Remove heavy soil depos-

its inside the oven, but only the worst ones. Clean spatters or spills around the oven front and outside the door gasket, but do not clean the gasket (see Cleaning Chart on page 45).

2. Close the oven door, and make sure the oven light switch is off.

3. Touch the CLEAN pad. Display shows CLEAN and flashing indicator

points to DOOR LATCH.

If door is not latched within 15 seconds, display reverts to OFF and you have to start over. During that

15-second interval, you may hear a hum.

5. To begin cleaning immediately, touch the STARTpad. Display shows Stop Time-3 hours from the time cleaning operation starts.

Note: You might smell a slight odor, especially during the first few cleanings. This is normal during the self-cleaning cycle and is no cause

for alarm.

When cleaning temperature is reached, the Indicator Light points

to OVEN LOCKED and the door cannot be unlatched.

6. When cleaning is done, the oven

turns off automatically. When it cools down, the door can be opened. When OVEN LOCKED light goes out, touch the CLEAN / LATCH

RELEASE pad and unlatch the door. Display shows time of day.

To delay start of cleaning:

●

!. Move door latch all the way to

the right to the CLEAN position. (If temperature probe is accidentally

left plugged into the oven recepta-

cle, display shows” Prob” until you

remove it. Touch CLEAR/OFF pad. Touch CLEAN / LATCH RELEASE pad, unlatch door and remove probe.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to reset).

1. Touch CLEAN pad and latch door.

Page 47

2. Then touch STOP TIME pad. Display shows CLEAN and flashing indicator pcints to Stop Time.

3. Use number pads to enter desired stop time. (You may enter any time not more than 11 hours and 59

(

seconds and not less than 3 hours

●

from the current time of day).

4. Touch START pad and the oven calculates the proper Start Time, allowing 3 hours for cleaning.

Display shows both Start Time and

Stop Time until cleaning begins.

Then only Stop Time is shown. When cleaning is done, the oven

turns off automatically. Step 6 on

page 46 tells you when and how

to open the door.

Questions and Answers

Q. What should 1do if excessive

smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. Excessive grease is the cause.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open windows and doors to rid the room of smoke. Let the oven cool for at least one hour before opening the

door. Touch CLEAN /LATCH

RELEASE pad and unlatch door. Wipe up excess grease and reset the cleaning cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. Metal heating and cooling during cooking and cleaning functions makes this sound.

Q. My oven shelves became gray

after several cleanings. Is this

normal?

A. Yes. And after many cleanings, they’ll lose their luster and change to a deeper gray color.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide

easily. What’s the matter?

A. After cleaning, oven shelves may

be so clean that they will not slide easily. They will again if you dampen your fingertips with a little cooking oil and rub lightly over the sides of the shelf.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil leave a

deposit of ash. You can remove it

with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. If the digital readout does not

display the time of day, can 1still self-clean my oven?

A. No. You must set your clock. Time of day must be showing in the

readout because the clock starts

and stops the self-cleaning cycle.

Q. Can 1stop an oven cleaning cycle after cleaning has begun?

A. Yes, but you won’t be able to open the door until the oven cools to a safe temperature. Touch CLEAR/ OFF pad to cancel the cleaning cycle. When Door Locked indicator light goes out, touch CLEAN pad again and unlatch the door.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled surface of my oven?

A. Heating and cooling during

cleaning. It’s common. The hair-like lines don’t af~ect your oven’s performance.

Q. Why won’t my oven start cleaning even though I’ve set all the controls correctly?

A. Check to be sure the readout

shows the correct time of day. Also check to be sure the oven latch is closed securely and you have

touched the START pad.

Q. If the inside of my oven door is soiled, will it be cleaned during the cleaning cycle?

A. Yes. The raised section of the

oven door inside the gasket will be

cleaned automatically. The area outside the oven gasket must be cleaned by hand as described in the Cleaning Chart on page 45.

Q. Why would I want to set my oven

to start cleaning at a later time of day?

A. Some utility companies offer

lower rates at times when electrical

consumption is lowest. Since these times often occur late at night, you can set your oven before going to

bed so cleaning is done while you

sleep.

Q. Why can’t I latch the oven door to start the self-clean cycle even though I’ve touched the

CLEAN pad?

A. The electronic control will not

let you set up the clean cycle when the oven is hotter than 500°F. Let the oven cool and try again.

Q. After interrupting the self-cleaning cycle in the middle, 1let the oven cool but still cannot set the self-clean cycle again. Why?

A. You must touch the CLEAN pad,

unlatch the door, touch the CLEAN pad again, latch the door and touch the START pad before the selfclean cycle starts again.
