Cooking appliancesinstalled undw theovenmight,
under some heavy usage conditions, cause temp­eratures high enough to overheat some internal
partsof the microwaveoven.

To prevent overheating from taking place,the vent
fan is designed to automatically turn on at low

speedif excessivetemperatures occur. Should this
happen,the fancannot be manually turned off, but
it will automatically turn off when the internal parts
have cooled, The fan may stay on up to approxi-

mately 30 minutes after the range and microwave

Q. Are there any particular trivets
that work better than others?

A, Yes,flat glasstrivetssuchas lids
or dish coversgenerally give more
even cooking results than plastic
trivets. Also, ceramic ridge­bottomed roasting dishes usually
work well. Plastic trivets generally
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. Is it necessaryto always cover
foods during Auto Roast?

A. No, but a loose covering helps

prevent spattering and hold mois-

ture in food.

Q. Why was my roast not fully
cooked eventhough the tempera­ture on the readout was correct
and Auto Roastcompleted?

A. Whencooking with Auto Roast,
the temperature probe must be
insertedproperly asfully described
intheCookbook.Afterturning meat
over or rotating, the probe should
be checked to make sure it hasn’t
slipped or changed position.

Q. Last time I used Auto Roast ‘–
I removedthe roast from the oven
to turn it over, When I replaced
roast in ovenand reconnected the

meat probe, a lower temperature

appeared,Why?
A. The oven and roast may have

cooled to below the temperature
when you removed it, w probe

may havebeenrepositioned. Con­tinue roasting and numbers will
soon count upward again.

For many foods, internal temperature is the best

testof doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference
when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to a serving temperature you
desireis simpleand easy.

A, Yes.Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped topping$,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temp-

Cook CodeTUControl is a short-cut method for en­tering time andthe PowerLevelon your microwave
oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes
which needlittle or no attention,and which require
no change of power levelduring cooking. Recipes
which require additional ingredients, attention or
change of power levelduring microwaving should
be cooked in the usual manner.Also, recipes with
cooking time of lessthan one minute or more than
99minutes can not useCooking Codes.

To understandthe Cook Code control, it is impor-

tant to know what the numbers meanand what the
sequenceis. The first and second numbers, if set­ting a 3digit Cooking Code, indicatethe amount of
time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means

12minutes at Power Level5. NC)TE:Youroven can
only be programmedto 99minutes when using the
Cook Code control and the highest Power Levelis

10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a
2digit Cook Code’control entry, thefirst istime, the

second is power level. For example, 50 means
5 minutesat Power level 10.

On the following page is shown many frequently
prepared foods and their codes. It’s easy,though,
to make Cooking Codes for many other recipes.
Justselectoneor two digits representingthe length
of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the
PowerLevelrequired.The Cooking Codesgivenon
thechart arefor the minimumtime needed,to avoid
overcooking which can dry out food and make it
tastelessandtough. Ifyoufeelthat morecooking is
needed,add additional time by changing the first
digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the
cycle time—Cooking Codes are for whole minutes
only. Ifyour recipecalls for PowerLevelchangesor

different amountsof time neededbetweenaddition
of ingredients, you may setone Cooking Code for
thefirst part oftherecipe,thenaftercompletion,set
another Cooking Code for that period of time and
PowerLevel.

Remembet that Cooking Codes are for micro­waving by time only. If you are microwaving by
temperature,you must usethe TempCook or Auto
Roastfunction.

heating and reheating in your Spacemaker’”microwaveoven.Now heat­ing and reheating, which are the mostpopular usesof microwaveovens,
may now be done in multiple quantities, so several foods are ready to

serveat the sametime.
When microwaving with the ovenshelf, sometechniques will differ from

thecookbook which camewith youroven.It isimportant to arrangefoods

properly, and this is shown on the next page. Utensil size is important;
selectfrom among thesuggestions below.Also, food sizeshould becon­sidered;foods over3%inches high,or3 poundsarenot recommendedfor
shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also foods for oven meals using scratch

recipes should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook
directions.

Use potholders when handling

foods heated together with your

ovenshelf,especiallywhenheating

When heating several different
