IMPORTANT SAFETY TSTRUCTION$

Microwaving Tips

o 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 microwavingY

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 minute at High. If

water becomes hot, dish is microwave
safe° If dish heats, it should not be
used for microwaving

o Paper' towels, wax paper' and

plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture

and prevent spattering.

• Some rnicrowaved foods require

stirring, rotating or reazranging
Check your cookbook

o 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.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electrical appliances
basic safety precautions should be

followed, including the following:

Sometimes, the oven floor and

walls can become too hot to
touch. Be careful touching the

floor and walls during and after
cooking.

• Foods cooked in liquids (such
aspasta) may tend to boil over

more rapidly than foodscontaining

less moisture. Should this occur,
refer topage 36 for instructionson

how to clean the inside of the oven.

o Do not use regular cooking

or oven thermometers when
cooking by microwave or

combination. The metal and

mercury in these thermometers
could cause "arcing" and possible

damage to oven.

o 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, damage oven walls and
damage the temperature probe.

o Plastic utensils--Plastic utensils

designedfor microwave cooking
are very useful, but should be

used carefully. Even microwave-
safe plastic may not be as tolerant

ofovercooking conditions as are
glassor ceramic materials and may

soften or char if subjected to short
periods of overcookingoIn longer

exposures to overcooking, the food

and utensils could ignite° For

these reasons: 1)Use microwave-

safe plastics only and use them in

strict compliance with the utensil
manufacturer's recommendations,

2) Do not subject empty utensils to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit

children to use plastic utensils
without complete supervision,

oWhen cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly andalways

cook the meat to an internal

temperature of at least 170°E

This assures that, in the remote

possibility that trichina may be

present in the meat, it will be

killed and meat wilt be safe to eat_

o Boiling eggs is not

recommended in a microwave

oven. Pressurecan build up

inside eggyolk and may cause

it to burst, resulting in injury,

• Foods with unbroken outer

"skin" such as potatoes,

sausages, tomatoes, apples,

chicken livers and other giblets,

andegg yolks (see previous
caution) should be pierced to

allow steam to escape during

cooking_

• "Boilable" cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in cookbook° If they

are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plasticstorage containers should be

at least partially uncoveredbecause
they form atight seal. When

cooking with containers tightly
covered with plastic wrap, remove

coveringcarefully and direct steam
awayfrom hands and face.

o Spontaneous boiling--Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or

shortly after removal from the
microwave oven, Toprevent burns

from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the

container from the microwaveoven.

oUse of the oven metal

accessory rack. (See your
cookbook for proper use.)

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

Use pot holders when handling

the rack and utensils. They may

be hot.

--Do not use microwavebrowning
dish on rack. The rack could

overheat. Use of rack with

Automatic Cooking feature is not
recommended.

Do not use the drip pan or

spatter shield while
microwaving.

THE EXHAUST HOOD

o Have it installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer.

See the special installationbooklet

packed with the microwave oven_

o The exhaust fan in your oven
will operate automatically under

certainconditions (see Automatic
Fan Feature, page 6). 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.

Boilovercauses smokingand greasy
spilloversthatmay igniteandspread
if exhaust fan is operating. To

mi_mize automatic fan operation,
use adequate sized utensils and

use high heat only when necess_wy.

--In the event of a grease fire,

smother flaming pan on surface

unit bycovering pan completely

with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray,

--Never flame foods under
the oven with the exhaust fan

operating because it may svead
the flames.

--Keep hood and grease filters
clean, according to instructions on

pages 35 and37,tomaintain good
venting and avoid grease fires.

What YourOven Can Do

Cooking with your new oven
offers a wide variety of food
preparation options. Microwave

cooking uses very short, high
frequency radio waves. The

movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat

and cooks most foods faster than
conventional methods, while

retaining their natural texture
and moisture. Microwave

cooking heats food directly, not

the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy

and defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is

spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly
circulates heated air around the food,

creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of

hot air over the food surfaces,
Your new oven also offers the

option of combination cooking,
using microwave energy along with

convection cooking.. You cook with

speed and accuracy, while browning
and crisping to perfection

You can use microwave cooking,
convection cooking or combination
cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time

desired and your oven turns off
automatically. Or you can cook by

temperature, by these methods,
using the temperature probe to

determine the doneness by the
internal temperature of the food.

This method takes the guesswork
out of cooking, shutting the oven

off automatically when the food

reaches the desired temperaturer

The Automatic Cooking Control

(AUTO COOK) feature does your
microwave cooking for you,. It's

easy and convenient--just follow
the step-by-step instructions in this

manual.. A sensor detects steam
from the food and automatically

adjusts cooking time and power
level for best results.

Combination Auto Roast is a
cooking function that uses the

temperature probe. You simply
select from 4 Combination Auto

Roast codes, and the oven
automatically adjusts power level,
oven temperature and internal food
temperature to cook the food the

way you want it,
Auto Defrost automatically sets the

defrosting time and power levels
for your You choose the appropriate

code number from I to 6 from the
food you are defrosting, then enter

the food weight in pounds and
tenths of a pound and touch Start_

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

defrosting results,.
The Auto Start Timer lets you

program the oven to start cooking

at a desired time, even if you're not
at home.

microwave, convection and
combination cooking.

Cookware Tips

Convection Cooking

METAL PANS are recommended
for'all types of baked products, but

especially where browning or

crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are

best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce

crisper crust_
Shiny aluminum pans are better for'

cakes, cookies or muffins because
these pans reflect heat and help

produce a light tender crust.

YES YES YES

GLASS OR GLASS-CER_AMIC

casserole or baking dishes are best

suited for egg and cheese iecipes

due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC

promptly,

NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe_

Times wit1 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

insWaction. You may have set the
oven to Defrost for 4 minutes,
Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then

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

Automatic Cooking Codes

Automatic cooking codes 1through

8 are designed to give you easy

automatic results with a number
of foods.

Code i, designed for reheating
foods quickly, turns the oven off
automatically as soon as the sensor
detects steam from the foods_

When codes 2 through 7 are
selected, the oven automatically

determines how much more cooking
time is needed after steam is sensed_

Oven signals and switches to TIME
COOK. The word "AUTO" on the

display is replaced by the remaining
cooking time.

Auto Cook recipes and a cooking
control guide can be found on

pages !4 through 21.

Word '_,UTO" shows on display,
indicating steam sensor is activated

How toAdjust
AUTO COOK Codes

ToSuit YourTaste

By simply adding a t after' any
AUTO COOK code number, you can

set the oven to cook for approximately

20 % less time than the code would

regularly provide.
For example, if CODE 4 cooks your

chicken 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,

For the chicken in the example
above, CODE 49 would provide

approximately 20% longer cooking
time than the regular CODE 4

would provide.

Example:

Containers and covers

Appropriate containers and coverings
help assure good cooking results.

* Always use microwave-safe

containers and cover them with
lids, wax paper or plastic wrap.

Wonder if it's microwave-safe? Put
it to the test described on page 3.

* Never use tight-sealing plastic
covers--they can prevent steam

from escaping and cause food to
overcook.

• Match the amount of food to

the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half ful! for best

results,

o Be sure the outside of the

cooking container and the inside
of the microwave oven are dry

before placing food in the oven°
Beads of moisture turning into
steam can mislead the sensor.

o Some foods may require

stirring or rotating after first

signal. See Automatic Cooking
Control Guide and recipes on

the following pages.

For frozen foods in metal trays,
remove foil covering and baked
goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as
shown above. Break food up after

first signal.

Use oblong or square containers for
chicken or corn on the cob. Plastic

wrap covering should be vented to
allow for escaping steam,

Touch AUTO COOK pad, "ENTER
CODE" flashes on display,

Touch number pads 4 and i in
that order. "CODE 4" shows on

disptay_

Touch START. "AUTO" shows on
display. DO NOT OPEN DOOR

until first oven signal, then rotate
dish 1/2 turn if necessary, Close
door and touch START to finish

cooking,.

Use microwave-safe casseroles or'
bowls for entrees and vegetables.

Cover' with lids that fit. If lids are
not available, use plastic wrap or'

wax paper. Plastic wrap should be
vented to allow for escaping steam.

For frozen entrees in paperboard
trays, remove tray from box but do

not remove film over tray Thick
entrees may take longer to cook--

see guide on page 20.

13

Paper plates--while they may be

used for Time and Temperature
Cooking and Defrosting, do not
use them with automatic cooking.

Use microwave-safe plates or bowls
for reheating. Cover with plastic
wrap or' wax paper.

Follow Automatic Cooking Control
Guide setting for casseroles. Cover

casserole meat and vegetables with
sauce. Cool hot ingredients or sauces.,
if they are not cool, use TIME

Automatic Cookhng (continued)

Questions & Answers

Q. Why does my oven automatically
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 during which

'%_U'ID" is displayed°

Q. If my food is not completely

cooked after using the suggested

Code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and Power

Level 10for a few minutes until

completion,

Q. Do all 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 quickly

which shortens the cooking time
thus leaving undercooked food,

Cover tightly 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° Add water as recommended

on guide to the vegetables and cover

well for even, complete cooking_
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 the
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. 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.

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. 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°

22

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 from 90_E to 199_E

and maintains that temperature for
up to one hour or until you touch

the CLEAR/OFF pad

The Temperature Probe

Convection Thne Cooking

During convection cooking, a
heating element is used to raise

the temperature of the air inside
the oven. Any oven temperature

from 225°E to 450°E may be
programmed. A fan gently

circulates this heated air
throughout the oven, over and

around the food, producing
golden brown exteriors and rich,

moist interiors. Because the
heated air is kept constantly

moving, not permitting a layer of
cooler air to develop around the

food; some foods cook faster than
in conventional oven cooking.

Combination Temperature Cooking

With this function of your new
oven, you can enjoy the benefits
of combination cooking with the

precision of the temperature
probe. Four combination codes

are shown on the guide on page
29 to make it easy to program

microwave power level and oven
temperature with only one entry.

The probe makes it simple to
cook to the exact degree of
doneness desired, by monitoring

the internal temperature of the
food. This function is exactly like

combination time cooIOng except
you set internal food temperature

desired instead of cooking time.

How to Combination
Temperature Cook

Step 2: Touch Combination COOK

pad, "ENTER COMB CODE"
flashes and the time of day
disappears from the display,

Step 4: Enter the desired finished
food temperature by touching the

number pads in sequence, Any
food temperature from 90°E to

t99°E may be programmed, For
example, to set 180°E, touch 1, 8
and 0 in that order_ The selected

temperature is shown on the

display.

Step 1: Insert the temperature
probe into food as directed in this

manual or in the cookbook_ Plug
the other end securely into the oven
wall receptacle_

Step 3: Select the combination
code by touching a number pad
from 1 to 4 depending on oven

temperature needed° The code
entered is shown on the display and

"ENTER COMB FOOD TEMP"

flashes.

Step 5: Touch START to begin
cooking. The selected food

temperature disappears and the
display shows "COOL" until internal

food temperature reaches 90°F.
Then display shows actual food

temperature as it rises_ When food

reaches the selected temperature,
the display shows "End" and the
oven signals and turns off.

For information on cookware for
combination temperature cooking,

refer to page 10,

Combination Auto Roast

Combination Auto Roast is similar
to combination temperature

cooking, using both microwave
and convection cooking in

conjunction with the temperature

probe. However, the Combination

Auto Roast feature eliminates

most of the steps necessary to
program combination temperature

cooking. Instead, you can set the
entire cooking program by

selecting just one Combination
Auto Roast code.

The food is placed in a glass dish
on a trivet for cooking during

Combination Auto Roast° To select a
code from 1 to 4, see the

Combination Auto Roast Guide
below.

How to Combination
Auto Roast

Step 1: Insert temperature probe into
the meat and plug the probe fmnly

into the oven wall receptacle_

'Auto" replaces the time of day on
the display and "ENTER CODE"

flashes.

Step 3: Enter the desired
combination Auto Roast code by

toucb.ing a number pad from 1 to 4.
For example, touch number pad 2

for Beef, medium

In this example, "MEd',' "COMB"
and "CODE 2" are displayed.

If you want to see the actual food
temperature, press the Combination

AUTO ROAST pad.

Step 4: Touch START.

Step 2: Touch the Combination
AUTO ROAST pad°

Questions and Answers

Q. When I cook poultry, the thin,
small areas like legs and wings

often overcook before the rest of
the bird is thoroughly cooked.

How can I prevent this?
A. Thin, uneven portions of poultry

may be shielded with aluminum
foil during cooking+ Do not allow

foil to touch metal accessory rack
or oven sides, arcing may occur.

Q. Usually my temperature probe
gives very accurate results, but this

time it didn't. What happened?
A, If the temperature probe is

positioned touching fat or bone, an
inaccurate reading may result. Be
sure to place the probe in solid

muscle, usually the thickest,
meatiest part of the roast or

poultry, or in the center of a

meatloaf or casserole,.

Q. Meats often take longer than

indicated in the guides to reach
the desired internal temperature.

Why?

A. If the meat is recently defrosted
and still very cold or icy inside, it

will require a longer cooking time
than meat which has been merely

refrigerated. Times shown in the
guides are usually for meats that

are refrigerator temperature,.

Q. When I tried to program
nay oven for Combination Auto

Roast, it beeped and flashed

"PROBE" What did I do wrong?

A. Combination Auto Roast

cannot be programmed without the
temperature probe connected to fine

oven wall receptacle. To eliminate
the "PROBE" display and continue

programming the oven, just securely
insert the probe into the receptacle..

Q. Do most meats require standing
time after Combination Auto

Roasting?
A. You may want to let meats stand

briefly, to allow easier carving and
serving. Most meat roasts continue

to cook for a few minutes after
removing fiom the oven Check the

cookbook for specific instructions,

32

Convection Bro ag

] Forbroiling time and procedures, refer tochart in cookbook.

Broiling is cooking food by
intense heat from the upper unit

in the oven. Most fish and tender
cuts of meat can be broiled.

Follow these steps to keep
spattering and smoking to a

minimum.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2" apart. If

desired, fat may be trimmed,
leaving layer about 1/8" thick.

Step 2: Insert spatter shield onto
drip pan° Always use spatter shield

so fat drips into drip pan; otherwise

juices may become hot enough to

catch fire Aluminum foil may be
used to line drip pan and spatter

shield_ But, be CERTAIN to cut
openings in foil, to correspond with
slots in the spatter shield so fat

drips into pan below.

Step 3: Touch Convection BROIL
pad° "ENTER BROIL CODE"

flashes.

Step 4: Touch number pad 1 or 2

for desired Broil Code. Code 1

broils at 450°E Code 2 broils at
425°E Use Code I for thinner cuts

of meat. "ENTER BROIL TIME"
flashes on display but usually it is

recommended that you preheat to

pmpmgrammed broiling tempemtumo

(See Step 50

Step 5: Touch START pad, "PRE"
appears on the display in large
letters and "PRE:' "BROIL" and

"CODE" are displayed in

small letters. When preheating is
completed, the oven will signal and
display "R_EADYY

Note: Oven will hold
preprogrammed temperature for

30 minutes and then shut off unless
you open the oven door.,

Step 6: Open the door. "HUt"
wilt appear on the display to

remind you the oven is hot and that
care should be taken when placing
food in the oven° Place food on

broil pan assembly_ Pull out metal
accesso_ rack to the stop position

mid set the broil pan on it. Carefully
push rack back into oven and close
the door°

Step 7."Close the oven door.

"ENTER BROIL TIME" will

appear on display.
Enter broiling time by touching

number pads in sequence, For 25
minutes, touch 2, 5, 0 and 0,

Step 8: Touch START pad. "BROIL"
and "TIME" show on display and
broiling time counts down.

Step 9: When broiling is completed,
oven signals and flashes "End:'

Oven, light and fan shut off,

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use aluminum foil to

line the drip pan and spatter
shield?

A. Yes, if you mold the foil

thorougl-dy to the spatter shield

and slit it to conform to the slots

in the shield. Slots permit proper

drainage of meat juices into drip
pan, minimizing smoking and

spattering and preventing possibility

of fire from overheated drippings.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary

to always use the spatter shield in

the pan?

A. Yes. Using the spatter shield

suspends the meat over the pan. As

the meat cooks, the ,juices fall into

the pan, thus keeping meat drier,

Juices are protected Toythe shield

and s_y cooler, thus preventing

excessive spatter and smoking,

Q. Should I salt the meat before

broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices

and allows them to evaporam

Always salt after cooking. Turn

meat with tongs; piercing meat

with a fork also allows juices to

escape. When broiling poultty or

fish, brush each side often with

butter°

Q. Why are my meats not

turning out as brown as they

should?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the oven may be low.

In these cases, preheat the broil

unit for 10 minutes before placing

broiler pan assembly with food in

oven. Turn food only once during

broiling.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler

spatter shield to prevent meat

from sticking?

A. The spatter shield is designed to

reflect broiler heat, thus keeping

the surface cool enough to prevent

meat sticking to the surface°
However, spraying the shield

lightly before cooking with a

vegetable cooking spray will make

cleanup easier_

The Exhaust Feature

METAL METAL

FILTER FILTER

COOKTOP/NtGHT LIGHT

The exhaust hood feature on your'
microwave oven is equipped with

two meta! filters which collect
glease. When the fan is opetated,

air is drawn up through the filters
and is then discharged through the
provided venting to the outside.

The hood also has a light for
illuminating the counter space°

When NIGHT LIGHT pad is
touched, the hood light operates

at a lower intensity for use as
a night light_

Then pull filter downward and to
the front. The filter will drop out.

To replace grease filter, slide the

filter in the frame slot on the back

of the opening.

To clean grease filter, soak, then
agitate filter in hot detergent
solution° Don't use ammonia or
other alkali because it will darken

metal. Light brushing can be used
to remove embedded dirt. Rinse,
shake and remove moisture befoie

replacing Filters should be

cleaned at least once a month.
Never operate your hood without

the filter in place. In situations

where flaming might occur on
surfaces below hood, filter will

retard entry of flames into the unit°

To remove grease filter, grasp the

"finger hold" on the filter and slide

to the rear.

Pull filter upward and to the front
to lock into place.
