a ~ookcomplete oven meals instead ofjust onefood item. Potatoes, othervegetables, and somedessertswill cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat Ioaf, chicken orroast. Choose foodsthatcookat thesametemperature in approximately the same time.

a 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.

Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all utensils used in

your microwave oven are labeled “suitable for microwaving”. Check your Cookbook for specific test to determine “microwave-safe” utensils.

s Paper towels, wax paper, and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

s Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating, or rearranging. Check your Cookbook for specific instructions.

● Some foods such as unshelled

eggs and hot dogs must be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

When Power is Connected to the Oven

The panel displays five 8s and 18 POWER on the upper portion and all of the oven functions on the lower portion. After 15 seconds, all lights disappear and “RESET” appears in the upper portion. Touch

the CLEAR/OFF pad and oven is

ready for use and the clock can be set.

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

a Plastic Utensiis—Plastic utensils designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only “and use them” in strict compliance with

the utensil manufacturer’s

recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

3) Do not permit children

“Boilabie”cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst dur-

ing or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also,

plastic storage containers should

beat least partially uncovered

because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,

remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

~ Use shelf accessory. (See your Cook-

book for proper use.) —Remove the shelf from oven

when not in use. —Do not store or cook with

shelf on floor of oven. Product

If you enter an impossible time such as 12:84, the display flashes “EEEE’ for Error. To correct it, just 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 dis-

play is showing 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

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

A. Your home had a brief power failure 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 ciock?

A. No. The originai time of day will

reappear in about 15 seconds after “EEEE’ fiashes.

Q. Can i change the ciock while I’m cooking food in the conventional oven?

A No. The ciock cannot be changed during any program that uses the oven timer or the display. You must either stop those programs or wait

until they are finished before

changing the time. Q. Can i check the time of day

whiie the dispiay is showing minute/ second time.

A. Yes. Simpiy touch CLOCK pad and time of day shows for as long as your finger is on the pad. Display

Setting 1, which is designed for easy reheating of foods, automatically turns the oven off as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods. Other Auto Cook control settings, which are for fresh or frozen foods, need additional time after steam and aroma have been sensed. For these foods, the oven determines the amount of additional time

needed, then automatically switches the oven to Time Cook for the necessary cooking time remaining. Oven

Be careful of steam when removing

tight covers. When you remove

cover, direct the steam away from hands and face.

Be sure the outside of the cooking container and inside of microwave

oven are dry. A few foods need stirrring or

rotating after partial cooking. Check the “Automatic Cooking Guide” section on page 15.

We suggest covering foods that tend to spatter to keep the interior

. of the oven clean. This also helps

the food heat more evenly. Note Use of the DOUBLE

DUTV” shelf with Automatic ~ooking is not recommended.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables.

Cover with lid to dish. Wax paper or

loose plastic wrap can also be used.

Do not use paper plates with automatic cooking. Use microwave-safe plates or bowls for reheating. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and tuck edges under dish (you can still use paper plates with regular Time Cooking, Defrosting, etc.).

Use oblong or square containers for chicken or corn on the cob. Cover

with wax paper or loose plastic to

prevent spattering.

Frozen Entrees in Paperboard Tray:

Do not remove film over tray; remove tray from box. Thick entrees may need longer time. See chart on page 22, Frozen Food in Metai Tray: Remove foil, reinsert into box and

close ends,

Follow control panel or Automatic

Cooking Chart settings for casseroles. Cover casserole meat and vegetables with sauce. Cool hot ingredients or sauces. If not, use TiME COOK.

Understanding Automatic Cooking Codes & Preference Control

Automatic cooking codes 1 through 9 are designed to give you easy automatic results with a number of foods.

Codes are arranged in lowest to

highest amount of power. For example, Code 1 gives least microwave cooking power, Code 2 gives.

more power than Code 1, Code 3

incre~es power over Code 2 and so on.

Code 1, which has the least power,

is used for quick reheating jobs while the longer cooking foods like stew or chili use higher codes. A Cooking Chart and recipes, starting on page 15 give many tested uses for automatic cooking codes.

The Preference Control

Another feature to give you flexi-

bility in Automatic Cooking is the preference control, which can be used to “fine tune” the power of Codes 2 through 9. By simply adding a 1 after a Code, you can set the

oven to cook using 20°/0 less time than the code would regularly deliver. For example, if Code 4 cooks your vegetables more done than you like them, set Code 41 next time and you will get 20°/0 less cooking time.

Likewise, if you wish slightly more time than a code delivers, add a 9 after the Code. For the vegetables

in the example above, Code 49 would provide 20% more time for cooking than would the regular Code 4.

Automatic Cooking Questions and Answers

~--- ‘-”--- “---

Q. Why does my oven automatically cut off after the AUTO cycle when using Auto Cook Control Code 1 when it does not for other settings?

L 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 the food is not completely cooked after using the suggested Code, what should I do?

A= Differences in recipes may result

in different cooking times.

Cook and Power Level 10 for

Time

a few minutes until completion or m-cover and use Auto Cook Code 1 if more time is needed.

Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables require a standing period after cooking with Auto Cook?

L Most vegetables are cooked to a crisp state during Auto Cook, just as in regular micr~waving.

fore, it is recommended

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 cover the dish in Auto Cook?

& While cooking without the cover does not affect sensor performance, we suggest covering dishes that may spatter to keep the oven clean. Covering also helps foods heat evenly.

Use

There-

that you let

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when using Auto Cook?

A Y*, 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. Shouid I use Auto Cook to cook pudding or sauces?

A Most pudding and sauce recipes

require stirring many times during cmking; therefore, Time Cook is recommended since you should not open the door during the AUTO phase of cooking without affecting end cooking resuits.

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 toq much remaining moisture in the oven. Make sure you dry the oven completely before using Auto Cook since this function operates properly by sensing steam and aroma in the oven. Also starting Auto Cook with hot foods creates steam and aroma in the oven too soon, and decreases the first sensing cycie.

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

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

Q. Wouid my piastic containers with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Cooking?

A No, moat types of piastic storage dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight

fitting iids are not recommended for microwaving. Also tight fitting lids may prevent adequate steam and

aroma 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. Extremeiy dry foods such as chow mein noodles, potato chips and other such +’ foods do not have enough moisture.

Q. Shouid I use Auto Cook when I am cooking many foods in more than one dish or casseroie?

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 Recipe Guide

Automatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic electronic control

system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The charts and recipes in this section are designed to help you make the most of this feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a speci-

. .

fied cooking time or a selected fin-

ished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook...

ttying to convert old recipes for

microwave cooking. . .or just resoRing to guesswork. This control

method works on an entirely different basis-with a special electronic sensor that detects steam and aromas fro-mcooking food. The oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can automatically set the correct cooking time and maintain the proper power level for different types and amounts of food. And it’s adjustable to suit your individual taste.

‘-

(

Foods Recommended

Easy to Use

Simply touch two control padsAUTO COOK and the desired Code

number-and then START. A chart on the oven control panel gives a list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The display shows AUTO until steam is sensed and

then signals, and displays time

counting down. During AUTO, oven

should not be opened, but after

oven signals, door may be opened

to check foods if desired. Check the Automatic Cooking Chart for suggestions.

Appropriate containers and cover-

ings help assure good cooking

results. Containers should match in size to the size of the food being cooked. Coverings such as wax paper, the lid that came with the container, or microwave-safe plastic domes are ideal. For examples of containers and coverings, see page 12 and the following recipes.

●

Foods Not Recommended

Preference Control

With Preference Control, you can

adjust the Automatic Cooking Featuro to ywr individual taste by adding either “l” or ’9’ after Code

number. If Code, you would prefer less cooking time, simply add the number “l” after the Code and the oven automatically lessens the cooking time by 20%. If you wish more cooking time, add “9” after the Code to increase cooking time by 20%

aftertrying the suggested

Automatic Roasting

Automatic Roasting uses the tem-

perature probe rather than the elec- -

tronic sensor to cook meats to the desired degree of doneness. The oven continually monitors the food’s

internal temperature. Unlike ordi-

nary Temperature Cooking, the oven changes power levels two or three times depending on the degree of doneness during cooking to give you the best results automatically. After cooking the oven switches automatically to Hold for an hour. Food stays warm without overcooking.

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casseroles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the food, cover securely, and do not open door while AUTO appears on display.

.—

Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or which require constant attention, or adding ingreclients during cmking should be microwaved by

TIME COOK. For foods that microwave best using temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO

ROAST. Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with TIME COOK.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roastsshould be Auto

Roasted until specified internal

temperaturesare reached. Less tender roastsshould be microwaved by time, according to the Cookbook which comes with your oven. Complete information on preparing roastsfor microwavingis in your Cookbook.

How to Prepare Roasts

for Auto Roasting

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

Poultry, pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add % cup water to roast

dish, cover with plastic wrap. (For cooking bag method, see cookbook.) Insert probe into center meaty area.

How to Auto Roast Beef to Medium

Step 1: Touch AUTO ROAST Pad.

Display flashes “Enter Code”.

Touch number pad 3. “START” flashes. Touch START. Display shows AUTO.

Step 2 At 8CP, display switches to show meat’s internal temperature.

Step 3: Oven monitors internal

temperature, automatically switching to lower power as meat’s temperature rises. This helps prevent toughening or overcooking.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall

Step 4 After temperature is

reached, oven switches to HOLD for 1 hr., then shuts off. Hold prevents overcooking while keeping meat warm.

Q. hurry?

J& Yes, but they will need more fre-

quent attention than usual. Raise the Power Level after entering the time by touching POWER LEVEL and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the time about in%; Power Level 10 cuts the time to approximately%. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Can I open the door during DEFROST 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.

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

A Cookbook times are average.

completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if

used in frozen foods.

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

. Insert probe as horizontally aS

possible into foods as directed in the recipes. Make sure the handle

does not touch the food.

● Use the clip to keep the probe in

place while heating.

● Cover foods as directed in Cook-

Using Your Conventional Oven

Your oven is designed to give best results in baking, roasting and broiling when used as recommended.

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 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.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stopIocks. When you place them correctly on the 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 shelvesfrom the oven,

make sure they’re cool. Then lift up the rear of the shelf and pull it forward with the stop-locks along the top of the shelf support.

To replace shelves in the oven,

insert the shelf with stop-locks

resting on the shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear of oven until it falls into place. When shelf is in proper position, stop-locks on shelf will run under the shelf support when the shelf is pulled forward.

.“

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports marked A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking food are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

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

The oven temperature display will show—90” or higher than actual

room temperature until the oven

temperature reaches 150”. This k

normal ‘

As the oven heats, the temperature

in the display may seesaw a few

degrees. This, too is normal

because the electronic control accurately indicates slight changes in air temperature.

Most foods cook satisfactorily without preheating the oven. If pr~ 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 any more 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.

1. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional

baking, light shiny finishes generally give best help prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center -

areas. Dull (satin-finish) bottom surfaces of pans are recomm-

ended for cake pans and pie plates to help ensure those areas brown completely.

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

How to Roast in Your Conventional Oven

See Roasting Chart on page 38.

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 t% low and spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it’s not necessa 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.

w to sear, -

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.

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

For large roasts, add 10 to 25 minutes per pound. For roasts under 5 pounds, add 10 minutes per pound.

To slow down surface browning on

turkeys, you can use a foil “tent”. The tent-shaped foil should be laid

loosely over the poultry so the heat

can circulate under the foil.

frozen poultry should be

thawed before cooking to make sure it’sdone evenly. Some, how-

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

label for specific directions.

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.

Temperature Probe for Conventional Roasting

The temperature probe serves both the Conventional and Microwave oven. It has a skewer-like probe at

one 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 remov-

ing 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.

Step 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.

Step 2: Insert the probe into the meat up to the point marked off

with your finger. It should not touch

bone, fat or gristle. Afo more than

two inches of the probe, not counting the handle, should be left exposed outside the meat.

Step 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 thickness 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 to 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 opera-

tions that do not require its use. Q. May I insert the probe into

frozen foods? A. No. It could break, Foods must

be completely defrosted first.

1. Position oven shelf at B for small-size roasts (3 to 7 Ibs.) and

at A for larger roasts.

2. Place meat fat-side up or poultry breast-side up on broiler pan or other shallow pan with trivet. Do not cover. Do not stuff poultry until just before roasting. Use meat probe, for most accurate doneness. (Do not place probe in stuff ing.)

3. Remove fat and drippings as necessary. Baste as desired.

4. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes

to allow roast to firm up and make it easier to carve. It will rise about 5° to 10° internal temperature; to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove roast from oven at 5° to 10° less than temperature on chart. S.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it OK to line the broiler pan

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

roughly to the rack and slit it to conform to the slits in the rack. These slits let meat juicds drain into the broiler pan. This minimizes

smoking and spattering and helps

prevent the possibility of fire from

overheated drippings.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

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. That’s why you should use tongs to turn meat. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. When broiling, is it always “ necessary to use a rack in the pan?

A Yes. The rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, ttie juices drop into the pan and

keep the meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay moler. 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.

Q. Why are my meats not turning

out as brown as they should? A In some areas, the power (volt-

age) to the oven may be low. If 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

the Broiling Chart on page 43, and turn food only once.

Q. Should I leave the door ajar

when broiling chicken? L No. The oven door should be

closed, and shelf position A is

recommended.

●No probe used.

tDo not turn over.

Page 43

Broiling Chart for Your Conventional Oven

; 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 Iower.part of the pan.

2. Oven door should be ajar for most foods; there is a special position on door which holds door open correctly.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent

piercing meat and loosing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or, brush with barbeque sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only. -

Broiling a Steak Using

Temperature Probe

Step 1: Place 1” to l%” thick steak

on top of rack in broiler pan. Lay probe on top of steak to determine position of probe and distance from edge to center of largest muscle. Mark with thumb where edge of

meat or fat meets probe. Make sure that no more than 2“ of

probe, not counting the handle, will

stick out of the meat.

Step 3 Place oven shelf in position C and place pan in middle of shelf.

Plug other end of probe into receptacle on oven wall. Leave door ajar about 3 inches.

Step 4 Select Code

selected Code setting 14, but

when 1touched the START pad, the

oven signaled and the display

showed “Prob”. What happened? A Code setting 14 is a temperature-

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 food temperature when

using Codes 10 through 14? & 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.

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 temperature only from the steak with the probe.

How toOperate Your

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

use again. The automatic cleaning cycle takes

3 hours.

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 CLEAFVOFF pad, you’ll stop the self-cleaning cycle before the cleaning’s done.

N~E Fan in Microwave Oven comes on when Lock Light is glowing during lower oven’s self-

cleaning cycle. You may use the

Care and Cleaning of Your Cooking Center

Propercare and cleaning are important so your cooking Center wIII

give you efficient and satisfactory service.Followthese directions carefully in caring for it

assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY

RART OF YOUR COOKING CENTER.

to help

Control Panels

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils

around the control panels. They

might damage it.

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

Temperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling it. Do

not twist it. Avoid dropping it. Clean as soon as possible after use. Wipe it with a sudsy cloth, then rub metal parts with a plastic scouring pad if necessary. Rinse and dry. (Or, 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 be an increase

in heat on the outside surfaces of

the oven.

Oven Lamp

The oven lamp bulb is long-lasting. Only a qualified service t~hnician

should replace it.

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

remove plastic spacers from the shelf when cleaning. Do not clean in self-cleaning oven.

Precautions for Use of Metal

Use metalonly as directed in the Cookbook. Metal trays no more

than 3/4” deep

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 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.

may be used for TV

Cleaning—inside

Keep it clean and sweet-smelling.

Opening the oven door a few min-

utes after cooking helps air out the

inside. An occasional thorough wip-

ing with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Spillsand spatters are easy tore-

move from walls, floor and-antenna cover. That’s because there’s little

heat except in the food, or sometimes in the utensil. Some spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some

may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.

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 min-

imum 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

USE ABRASIVES, such as

NOT

cleaning powders or steel and plas-

tic pads. They may mar the surface.

Door Surface. When cleaning sur-

faces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Do not remove the plastic antenna

cover at the top of the oven (see

page 7.) You will damage the oven

if you do.

Using a Brown ‘N Sear Dish? Use Bar Keepers Friend@ 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 Bar Keepers Friend@ Cleanser by SerVass Laboratories, Inc.

After using this cleaner, rinse and

dry thoroughly, following instruc-

tions on can. Do not use it on the

painted surfaces such as the walls— it‘may scratch the paint.

Bar Keepers Friend@ Cleanser is

sold in many grocery, hardware and department stores.

Page 49

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 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 pr~ vents it from functioning properly during cooking and cleaning.
