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

short periods 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

mmufacturer’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°F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the 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 livers and 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 burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may, 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 a 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.

defrosting time and touch START, Step 6: When the oven signals

and flashes “End,” open the door, remove the package and separate chops to finish defrosting.

Defrosting Tips

● Foods frozen in paper or plastic

can be defrosted in the package.

● For even defrosting, some foods

need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

● 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.

● Check the cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

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

Q. Can I defrost small items in a

hurry? A. Yes, but they

frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the desired power level pad. Power total defrosting time by about 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. These times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the cookbook. If your

food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time

accordingly.

Q. Should all foods be completely

thawed before cooking? A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly

it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during

defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes.

Use the Auto Defrost guide on the next page. Enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (see Conversion Guide at right). Then touch START pad.

The oven calculates defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

How to Set Auto Defrost

Before you begin, check the guide located at front of oven when you open the door. It shows

minimum and maximum food weights for a variety of foods. You will need to know your food weight before setting Auto Defrost.

1. Remove food from package,

place in oven on microwave-safe dish and close door.

3. Enter weight. For example, touch number pads 1 and 2 for weight of 1.2 pounds ( 1 pound, 3 ounces. See Conversion Guide at right.).

both ready to serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner of the plastic cover to vent.

there are foil covers, remove them and return the trays of food to their boxes. Place in oven with one TV dinner on right shelf and the second dinner on left floor. Microwave at High ( 10) for 7 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 7 minutes. Check dinners for heating. If one dinner seems less done than desired, return it to the box and continue heating on floor

to 2 more minutes.

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. 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 one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the

underheated food continue cooking.

Also,

it is important

Heat or reheat different types of food at High heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating in cookbook. ) 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.

O). To determine

Place on the floor larger or more dense foods, which need the most

heating, such as leftover fried chicken, 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.

How to Use the Minute/Second Timer

The Minute/Second Timer has three timing functions:

● It operates as a minute timer.

● It can be set to delay cooking.

● It can be used as a hold setting

after defrosting.

The Minute/Second Timer operates without microwave energy.

Using a Holding Time

The Minute/Second Timer can also be used to program a “holding time” between microwave cooking functions. The time can range from one second to 99 minutes and 99

seconds. A holding or standing time may be found in some of your own recipes or in the cookbook

supplied.

Programming Delayed Cooking

To delay cooking up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds, touch either TIME COOK I & II, HOLD or AUTO ROAST and enter cook time, temperature or code. Touch MIN/SEC TIMER and enter number of minutes to delay cooking.

Questions and Answers Q. What will happen if I

accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?

A. Yes, Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and

cook it later. All you need to do is program in defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time.

Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Foods that are perishable, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork

should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Q. I programmed my oven for a

specific defrosting time but it defrosted What happened?

A. When instructions conflict,

the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have set 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 for 2 minutes.
