Cooking appliances installed under the oven might, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.

Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food wasn’t done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due

to time or location, many time cooking recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your food a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads and selected my power level. When

touched START, however, my

oven didn’t come on. Why not? A. The TIME COOK I

must be touched before setting the number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

Q. I want

A. To change the power level,

touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to check the food?

simply close the door and press the START pad. The timer must be reset for cooking to resume unless time is remaining on timer.

Time Defrost is designed

for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages

of a microwave oven. Use Time Defrost to quickly

thaw foods such as bread, rolls,

vegetables, dinners. Auto Defrost is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven power levels for you.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear

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

letting you know the oven is using a

power

level

lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in

a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Raise

the power level after entering the

time by touching the desired power

level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting

times in the cookbook seem right

for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer.

Set your oven for the time indicated

in your cookbook. If your food is

still not completely thawed at the

end of that time, reset your oven

Q. Should completely thawed before cooking?

Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness for many foods.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to Hold setting after reaching the preset food temperature and

maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

CLIP

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To utilize your probe properly, follow directions for use and insertion in this book in the Automatic Roasting section.

Cooking Tips

●

Use a lower power level; it will heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

●

Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.

shelf, some techniques will differ from the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly, and this is shown on the next page. Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food

size should be considered; foods over 3 are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8-inch square or other 2-quart size casseroles. Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with regular microwaving.

How to Reheat Several Different

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the
