Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating or rearranging.
Check your cookbook.

concerning your microwave oven.
Be sure your microwave
oven is registered.
It is important that we know the
location of your oven should a need
occur for adjustments.
All these things are normal with your microwave oven:
●
Steam or vapor escaping from

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.

Questions and
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
I touched START, however, my
oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK I or II pad
must be touched before setting the
number pads or else your oven will
not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than High. What do I
need to do?
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?
A. Yes. To resume cooking,
simply close the door and press
the START pad. The timer must be
reset for cooking to resume unless
time is remaining on timer.

Defrosting by
~me
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, fruits and frozen
dinners. Auto Defrost is preferred
for meat and poultry because the
oven sets the defrosting time and
power levels for you.
●
Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.

Questiom 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
and adjust the time accordingly.
Step
2: Touch TIME DEFROST.

● For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated

● Family-size pre-packaged

container, transfer it to a microwave
safe dish.

holding time (example in steps 4
and 5 at left). 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.
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/Time for 2 minutes, and then
Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the
oven would Defrost for 6 minutes

Automatic Cooking
The AUTO COOK feature may be
used to eliminate your need to look
up cooking time in the cookbook or
guess 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 most cooking containers
must be covered during automatic
cooking, this feature is best with
foods that you want to steam or
retain moisture. See page 15 for
containers and covers recommended
for automatic cooking.

Automatic Cooking Codes 1
through 9 are designed to give you
easy automatic results with a
number of foods.
CODE 1, designed for reheating
foods quickly, turns the oven off
automatically 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,
automatically switches to TIME
COOK, signals, and the word
“AUTO” on the display is replaced
by countdown numbers indicating
remaining cooking time. When the
signal is heard, the oven door may
be opened for stirring, turning or
rotating food.
A guide behind the oven door lists
cooking codes for
fresh or uncooked foods and
appropriate codes are recommended
in the recipes and cooking guide on

Codes To Suit Your Taste
By simply adding a 1 after any
AU~
COOK code number from 2
through 9, you can set the oven to
cook for 20% less time than the
code would regularly provide.
For example, if CODE 4 cooks
your seafood more done than you
like it, set CODE 41 next time and
you’ll get 20% shorter cooking time.
If you want a longer cooking time
than a code provides, add a 9 after
the code.

Questions and Answers
Q. Whydoesmyovenautomatidy
cut off after the Auto cycle when
using Auto Cook Control Code 1
when it does not 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 or Auto.
Q. If my food is not 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 I and
Power Level 10 for a few minutes
until completion.
Q. Do d fresh or frozen vegetables
require a standing period after
cooking with Auto Cook?
A.
Most vegetables are cooked 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 Cook?
A. Oven senses steam too quictiy
which shortens the cooking time
thus leaving undercooked dish.
cover
tighdy
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 successful tip in regular
microwaving.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables
require water when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes.
on chart to the vegetables and cover
well for even, complete cooking.
Add water as recommended
Q. Should I use Auto Cook to
cook pudding or sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended.
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
too much remaining moisture in
the oven. Make sure you dry
oven completely before using Auto
Cook since this function operates
properly by sensing steam in the
oven. Also, starting Auto Cook
with hot foods creates steam in the
oven too soon, and decreases the
first sensing cycle.
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. Would my plastic containers
with very tight fitting lids be
appropriate for Automatic
Cooking?
A. No, most types of plastic
storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.
with tight fitting lids are not
recommended for microwaving.
Also tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam 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.
Extremely dry foods such as chow
mein noodles, potato chips and
other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
14
tie
Q. May 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.
Q.
Why was my roast not
fully cooked even though the
temperature on the readout
was correct and Auto Roast
completed?
A. When cooking with Auto Roast,
the temperature probe must be
inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook.
Q. Are there any particular
trivets that work better than
others?
A. Yes,
lids or dish covers give more even
cooking results than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes work well. Plastic
trivets require meat to be turned
over more frequently because the
grid design and legs allow the
bottom of the meat to stay cooler
as it cooks, than glass trivets do.
Q. Why doesn’t the roast
continue cooking during the
standing or holding time?
A. The oven automatically reaches
finished temperature and then
decreases to a lower power level to
prevent overcooking. Thus an even
temperature is maintained.

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
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 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.
because
Reheating two casseroles (height
should be less than 3 Y2 inches) is
possible. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use staggered arrangements of
food, placing food on right side of
shelf and left side of floor. Refer to
Heating or Reheating Guide in
cookbook for suggested microwave
time per casserole and add the
times together. Microwave at High
(10) reversing position of foods (top
to bottom) after half of time. Also,
heat several small bowls of
leftovers this way, stirring and
reversing positions after half of time.

Heat or reheat different types of
food at High (10). To determine
heating times, add times for
foods together. (See heating guide
in cookbook. ) After half of time,
stir or rearrange foods (do not
reverse positions). Check foods (top
shelf especially) after 3/4 of
time and remove any which are
done. Continue cooking others.
