FAN

FEATUW

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.

YOUR

OWN

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 regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave

cooting heats

food directly, not the cookware 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 temperature.

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 you. You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 6 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound and touch the START pad. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

The Auto StatiReminder feature lets you program the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home. The Reminder feature can be used like an alarm clock.

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.

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Microwave

Combination Cooking

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers are

recommended. Be sure not to use items with

metal

trim

as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or

metal accessory shelf, damaging the cookware, the

shelf or the oven. HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware

(safe to

4W°F.)

may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Questions and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the

recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food was not done. What happened?

Since house power varies due to time or location,

many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness and cook

DEFROST~G

Time Defrost (Power Level 3)

Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and

one of the great advantages of

a microwave oven.

Use Time Defrost to quic~y thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto Defrost setting is

prefemed

for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

●

Power level 3 is automatically set when you press

See your Cookbook for defrosting guides.

How to Change Power Level

This sound is normal. It is letting you know the

oven is using a power level lower than

(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 in 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?

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.

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 Time Defrost to

check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes.

You may open the door at any time during

most microwaving. To resume defrosting,

Q. Why does my oven

When

using

code 1, there is

no second

~hase

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 code, what should I do?

Use Time Cook I and power

level 10 for a few minutes until completion.

Q. Do all

fresh or frozen vegetables require a standing period after cooking with Auto Cook?

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.

What if I don’t

fully

cover the

dish in Auto Cook?

Oven senses steam too quickly,

which shortens the cooking time and leaves food undercooked. Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of

foods 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 to the vegetables as recommended on guide 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 I & II 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. Are there any other foods

which are best Time Cooked, rather than Auto Cooked?

Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable are cooked best by Time Cook I & II.

Q. Would my plastic containers

with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Auto Cook?

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 may keep food from cooking properly during Auto Cook.

Q. I tried to warm some chow

mein

noodles using Auto

Cook. Why didn’t this work?

Food must have some moisture

in order to create steam which helps the auto sensor function. Extremely dry foods such as chow

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?

Thin, uneven portions of poultry maybe shielded

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use aluminum foil to line the drip pan

and spatter shield?

A. You can use aluminum

foil

to line

your drip pan and spatter shield. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the spatter shield and cut slits in it

just like the spatter shield. Without the slits, the

foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the drip pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the

slits, you are frying, not broiling.

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

by the

shield

and stay 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

evaporate. Always salt after cooking.

Turn meat

with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

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?

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.
