Microwaving

●

Make sure all cookware used in

~ps

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

gl~e

with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for

microwaving:’

If you are unsure, use this dish test: Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup. Place in oven on or beside dish. Microwave

1-1Y2

minutes at High. If water becomes hot, dish is microwave safe. If dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving.

●

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

and prevent spattering.

●

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

●

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.

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service calls 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

around the door.

● Light reflection around door or

outer case.

●

Dimming oven light and change

in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

Dull thumping sound while

oven is operating.

●

Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

AU~MATIC

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

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

● For even defrosting, some foods

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.
