IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

--Do not use the oven for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

--If materials inside oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

•Some products such as whole eggs and sealed

containers-for example, closed jars-will

explode and should not be heated in this

microwave oven. Such use of the microwave

oven could result in injury,

•Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even
without their lids; especially meat and egg

mixtures.

•Don't defrost frozen beverages in narrow
necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages).

Even if the container is opened, pressure can build
up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly

resulting in injury,

•Use metal only as directed in this book. TV
dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than

3/4" high; remove top foil cover and return tray
to box. When using metal in the microwave oven,
keep metal (other than metal shelf) at least

1 inch away from sides of oven.

•Cookware may become hot because
of heat transferred from the heated

food. Pot holders may be needed to

handle the cookware.

•Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend
to boil over more rapidly than foods containing

less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care
and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to

clean the inside of the oven.

•Thermometer_Do not use a thermometer in
food you are microwaving unless the thermometer

is.designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven.

•Plastic cookware--Plastic cookware designed

for microwave cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic

may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions

as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften

or char if subjected to shortperiods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,

the food and cookware could ignite. For these

reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with the cookware

manufacturer's recommendations. 2) Do not

subject empty cookware to microwaving.

3) Do not permit children to use plastic

cookware without complete supervision,

•When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170°EThis assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe
to eat.

Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure
will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to

burst, possibly resulting in injury.

•Foods with unbroken outer "skin"

such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken liversand other
giblets, and egg yolks(see previous

caution) should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.

•Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in

microwave ovens. Check the package for

proper use.

• Spontaneous boiling--Under
certain special circumstances,

liquids may start to boil during
or shortly after removal from the

microwave oven. To prevent bums

from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the

container from the microwave oven.

•Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using it to cook with. If you leave the

probe inside the oven without inserting it in food
or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can

create electrical arcing in the oven and damage
oven walls.

."Boilable"cooking pouches and tightly closed

plastic bags should be slit,pierced or vented as
directed by package.If they are not, plastic

could burst duringorimmediately aftercooking,

possibly resulting in injury.Also, plastic storage

containers should beat least partiallyuncovered
because they form a tight seal. When cooking
with containerstightly covered with plasticwrap,

remove coveringcarefully and direct steam away
fromhands andface.

.Hot foods and steam can cause

burns. Be careful when opening
any containers of hot food, including

popcorn bags, cooking pouches and
boxes. To prevent possible injury,

direct steam away from hands
and face.

• Use of the shelf accessory.

--Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

--Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven.

Product damage may result.

--Use pot holders when handling the shelf and

cookware. They may be hot.

--Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf.
The shelf could overheat.

--Use the shelfonly when cookingon 2 levels.

--Be sure thatthe shelfis positionedproperly

insidethe ovento prevent productdamage,

Use of shelfwith Popcornfeatureis not
recommended(see the Popcornsection).

The Exhaust Hood

.Have it installed and properly grounded by a

qualified installer. See the special installation

bookletpacked with the microwave oven.

.The exhaust fan in the oven will operate

automatically under certain conditions
(see Automatic Fan Feature)• While the fan

is operating, caution is required to prevent
the starting and spreading of accidental

cooking fires while the exhaust fan is in
use. For this reason:

--Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilovercausessmoking and

greasy spilloversthat may ignite and spread if
exhaust fan is operating. To minimize automatic

fan operation, use adequatesized cookware and
use high heat only when necessary.

--In the event of a grease fire,

unit by covering pan completely
with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet

or fiat tray.

--Clean the vent hood often. Do not allowgrease
to buildup on the hood or the filter.

--Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents,such as lye-based

oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

MICROWAVING TIPS

• Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass
casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard

cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not

have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen

can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable
for microwaving."

• If you are not

sure if a dish is
microwave-safe,

use this test:

Place in the oven

both the dish you
are testing and a
glass measuring

cup filled with

1 cup water--set

the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.
Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it

should not be used for microwaving. If the dish

remains cool and only the water in the cup heats,
then the dish is microwave-safe.

.Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain
moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent

plastic wrap so steam can escape.

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

• Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce

potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make

sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

DEFROSTING BY TIME

Time Defrost (Power Level 3)

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of
frozen food and is 1 of the great advantages of

a microwave oven.

Use the Time Defrost setting to quickly thaw foods

such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen

dinners.

• Power level 3 is automatically set when you press

the TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this
for more flexibility.

• See the Defrosting Guide for defrosting help.

How to Change Power Level

1. Press TIME DEFROST.

2 Select defrosting time

3. Press POWER LEVEL.

4. Select power.

5. Press START.

To become better acquainted with the defrost
function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen
strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1: Place package of frozen strawberries in the
oven and close door. Be sure package contains no

metal.

Step 2: Touch TIME

DEFROST.

Step 3: Select one half of the total defrosting time

recommended in the Defrosting Guide. For example,

touch 4 and MINUTE pad for 4 minutes.

the cycle is completed, the

_]'A[IT oven signals and flashes "End,"

........ Step 4: Touch START. When

Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door and

repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining half of

defrosting time and touch START.
Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes "End,"

open the door, remove the package and separate
strawberries to finish defrosting,

then automatically shuts off.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted

in the package. Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially

defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage
containers should be at least partially uncovered.

• Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

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

defrosting time.

• Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

• Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to
sit out for more than 1 hour after defrosting. Room

temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

16

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).

COOKING BY TEMPERATURE

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness

for many foods.

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a variety of foods to
the desired finished food temperature. The Time

Cook I & II setting is recommended for batters,
doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult

to cook precisely with the probe.

The Temperature Probe

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 in
about 1/2; Power level 10 cuts the total defrosting

time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.

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 until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.

NOTE: Oven automatically switches to "Hold"
when preset food temperature is reached.

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its

appearance may vary from picture at right.) The probe
must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Auto

Roast. To use the probe properly, follow directions in
the Automatic Roasting section.

Questions and Answers

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/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it's not

inserted in food?

A. No, if it touches the oven wall, it may damage

the oven.

AUTOMATIC ROASTING

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook
to the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp

Cook/Hold, which uses a single power level, Auto
Roast uses up to 3 power settings which

automatically switch during roasting, thus

providing even, tender cooking results without

overcooking.

Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting

horizontally into the center meaty area not touching

bone or fat. Make sure the handle does not touch the
food or top or sides of the oven.

Just as in regular roasting, only tender roasts should
be roasted until specified internal temperatures are

reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved
by time.

GLOSSARY OF MICROWAVE TERMS

When adapting recipes for the microwave, it is best
to start with a familiar recipe. Knowing how the

food should look and taste will help when adapting
recipes for microwaving. Foods that require

browning or crisp, dry surfaces will cook better
in regular ovens.

, Moist foods, such as vegetables, fruits, poultry and

seafood, microwave well.

• Rich foods, such as bar cookies, moist cakes and
candies, are suitable for microwaving because of

their high fat and sugar content.

° Reduce regular oven cooking times by 1/2 to 1/3.

Check food after minimum time to avoid overcooking.

• Small amounts of butter or oil can be used for
flavoring, but are not needed to prevent sticking.

• Seasonings may need to be reduced. Salt meats and
vegetables after cooking.

Covering. In both regular baking and microwave
cooking, covers hold in moisture, allow for more
even heating and reduce cooking time. In regular ovens,

partial covering allows excess steam to escape. Venting
plastic wrap or covering with wax paper serves the

same purpose when microwaving.
Venting. After covering a dish with plastic wrap, you

vent the plastic wrap by turning back 1comer so excess

steam can escape.
Arranging Food in Oven. When baking in regular

ovens, you position foods, such as cake layers or
potatoes, so hot air can flow around them. When

microwaving, you arrange foods in a ring, so that
all sides are exposed to microwave energy.

Stirring. In range-top cooking, you stir foods up from
the bottom to heat them evenly. When microwaving,

you stir cooked portions from the outside to the center.
Foods that require constant stirring will need only

occasional stirring when microwaving.
Turning Over. In range-top cooking, you turn over

foods, such as hamburgers, so both sides can directly
contact the hot pan. When microwaving, turning is

often needed during defrosting or when cooking certain
foods, such as frozen hamburgers.

Standing Time. When you cook with regular ovens,
foods such as roasts or cakes are allowed to stand to

finish cooking or to set. Standing time is especially
important in microwave cooking. Note that a

microwaved cake is not placed on a cooling rack.
Shielding. In a regular oven, you shield chicken

breasts or baked foods to prevent over-browning.
When microwaving, you use small strips of foil to

shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs
on poultry, which would cook before larger parts.

Arcing. Sparks caused by too much metal in the

microwave oven or metal touching the side of the
oven or foil that is not molded to food.

Prick Foods to Release Pressure. Steam builds up

pressure in foods that are tightly covered by a skin or

membrane. Prick foods, such as potatoes (as you do
before regular oven cooking), egg yolks and chicken

livers, to prevent bursting.
Rotating. Occasionally, repositioning a dish in the oven

helps food cook more evenly. To rotate 1/2 turn, turn
the dish until the side that was to the back of the oven

is to the front. To rotate 1/4 turn, turn the dish until the

side that was to the back of the oven is to the side.

Basic Microwave Guidelines

Density of Food. In both regular baking and

microwave cooking, dense foods, such as potatoes,
take longer to cook than light, porous foods, such

as rolls, bread or pieces of cake.
Round Shapes. Since microwaves penetrate foods to

about 1inch from top, bottom and sides, round shapes
and rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more

energy and may overcook. This may also happen when
cooking in a regular oven.

Delicacy. Foods with a delicate texture, such as
custards, are best cooked at lower power settings to

avoid toughening.

Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very
moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy

is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven
in moisture should be covered or allowed to stand

so it heats evenly.

22

Piece Size. Small pieces cook faster than large ones.
Pieces that are similar in size and shape cook more
evenly. With large pieces of food, reduce the power

setting for even cooking.
Shape of Food. In both types of cooking, thin areas

cook faster than thick areas. This can be controlled in
microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside

edge and thin pieces in the center.
Starting Temperature. Foods taken from the freezer

or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room
temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the

temperatures at which you normally store the foods.
Quantity of Food. In both types of cooking, small

amounts usually take less time than large amounts.
This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where

time is directly related to the number of servings.
Shelf. (on models so equipped). Use the shelf to heat

more than 1 dish at a time. Take the shelf out when you
are not using it.

HEATING OR REHEATING GUIDE

NOTE: Use Power Level High (10) unless otherwise noted.

1.Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked
foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use

microwave-safe cookware.

2. Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some
sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.

3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the
last to heat. Foods heated to 160°E to 165°E will provide safe,

palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal

taste. Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.

4. Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming
or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean

food is heated throughout.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure
it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

DEFROSTING GUIDE

1. Food packaged in paper or plastic maybe defrosted without
unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food

in cooking dish for defrosting. Most food defrosts well using
Defrost (3). For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as

beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Warm (1).

2. After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check
food. Turn food over, ifnecessa17; break apart or separate food

GUIDE TO USE OF THE OVEN SHELF

• Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2
levels. Food microwaves best when placed

directly on the oven floor.

• Do not store or cook with metal shelf on floor

of oven. Product damage may result.

• Use pot holders when handling metal shelf

and cookware. They may be hot.

• Do not store microwave browning dish on

metal shelf.

• Use of shelf with the Quick Reheat or
Popcorn program is not recommended.

Positioning the 2-Position Shelf (on models so equipped)

To position the 2-position shelf, tip
the back slightly and fit the shelf

support guides onto the support

guides located on each side of the
oven in the rear.

Next. lower the front until the shelf

support guides fit onto the support
guides located at each side of the

oven in the front.

When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place,

be level and not touch the back

or side wall of the oven.

The wire shelf is specifically designed for added
capacity heating and reheating in your microwave

oven. Now more than i food may be heated or
reheated and ready to serve at the same time.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods
which need to be prepared from scratch should be

cooked without the oven shelf.

NOTE: Your model is equipped with 1 of 2 types

of oven shelves.

If arcing occurs when using the

shelf to cook more than 1 food

at the same time, turn the oven

off. Make sure the shelf is not
touching oven walls. To prevent

arcing, remove the shelf when

you are not using it.

Positioning the 1-Position Shelf

To position the 1-position shelf,
tip the back slightly and fit the

shelf support guides onto the
support guides located on each

side of the oven in the rear.

26

(on models so equipped)

Next, lower the front until the shelf

support guides fit onto the support
guides located at each side of the

oven in the front.

When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place,
be level and not touch the back

or side wall of the oven.

If arcing occurs when using the

shelf to cook more than 1 food
at the same time. turn the oven
off. Make sure the shelf is not

touching oven walls. To prevent
arcing, remove the shelf when

you are not using it.

How to Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together,

foods which should be served hot must be placed on
the oven floor, while foods which need only to be
warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is
because microwave energy enters the oven from the

bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that
foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.

Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its
starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start

reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead

of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if 1 of the foods you are heating seems

undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,

let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10).

To determine heating times, add times for all foods

together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods

(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially

those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and
remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Place on the

floor larger NOTE: Appearance of shelf may vary.

or more dense

foods, which

need the most

as leftover

heating, such /__
fried chicken, _zf

casseroles of
canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place

on the oven shelf those foods which need only be
warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.

Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.
Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop

properly. Use a special microwave popcorn

accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled for

use in microwave ovens.

CARE AND CLEANING

Keep your oven clean and sweet-
smelling. Opening the oven door
a few minutes after cooking helps

air out the inside. An occasional
thorough wiping with a solution

of baking soda and water keeps
the inside fresh.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls and floor. Some spatters can be removed

with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth.
Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse

with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners on

oven walls. NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR

MICROWAVE OVEN.
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up spatters daily and

wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse

thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently
with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS
OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL

DAMAGE THE SURFACE.
Special note when using Brown 'N Sear Dish: If

grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of
a Brown 'N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn

onto the oven tray. This may be removed with a
cleanser such as Bon Ami ® brand cleanser.

Don't use sharp-edged utensils

on your oven. The inside and

outside oven walls can be
scratched. The control panel

can be damaged.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF
BEFORE CLEANING ANY

PART OF THIS OVEN.

After using Bon Ami ® brand cleanser, rinse and dry

thoroughly following instructions on can. Do not use

Bon Ami"brand cleanser on the painted surfaces such
as the walls. It may scratch the paint.

Automatic Temperature Probe. Probe is sturdy,

but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist
or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon after using as possible. To clean, wipe

with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring

ball if necessary. Rinse and dry or wash in
dishwasher.

Shelf. Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a
microwave oven only; do not use in a regular oven.
Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing

could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the

dishwasher. Do not clean in a self-cleaning oven.

How to Clean the Outside

Case. Clean the outside of your oven with soap
and damp cloth, rinse with a damp cloth and then
dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.

Chrome trim is best wiped with a damp cloth

and then with a dry towel.
Control Panel. Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry

thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts
of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the
panel--they can damage it.

28

Door Surface. When cleaning surfaces 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.

Power Cord. If the cord becomes soiled, unplug and
wash with a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, sudsy

water may be used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before plugging cord

into outlet.

Clean off the grease and dust on
hood surfaces often. Use a solution

of warm water and detergent.
About 1 tablespoon of ammonia
may be added to the water. Take

care not to touch the filters and
enamel surfaces with this solution;

ammonia will darken metal.

29

THE EXHAUST FEATURE

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with 2
metal filters which collect grease. When the fail is operated, air is drawn

up through the filters. Depending on your model, it is either discharged
through the provided venting to the outside or drawn through a charcoal

filter and recirculated.

Reusable Grease Filters (on all models)

The grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the microwave without the filters in place. In situations where

flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filters will stop the entry
of flames into the unit.

To Remove Grease Filter

To remove grease filter,
grasp the "finger hold"

on the filter and slide to
the rear. Then pull filter

downward and to the
front. The filter will

drop out.

To Clean and Replace Grease Filter

To clean grease filter, soak it and then agitate filter
in solution of hot water and detergent. Don't use

ammonia or ammonia products because they will
darken the metal. Light brushing call be used to

remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and remove moisture before replacing.
To replace grease filter, slide the filter in the frame

slot on the back of the opening.
Pull filter upward and to the front to lock into place.
