1. For personalsafetythe oven must be properly

grounded.Seegroundinginstructionson Page3 of

this book.

2. Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heatedfood. This is espe­cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be
needed.

3. Sometimes,theovenshelfcanbecometoohotto

4 ‘CBoiiabl&>cooking pouche$i$and tightly ~l~~ed
piasticbagsshould be slit, pricked or vented as di-

rected in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediatelyafter cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage.containers

should be at least partially uncovered becausethey
form a tight seal. When cooking with containers

tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face,

5. Don’t defrost frozen beveragesin narrow necked

bottles especiallycarbonated ones. Even if the con­tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can
causethe containerto burst,resultingin injury,

6. Don’t overcook. Excessive overcooking dehy­drates potatoes, and may cause them to catch fire

causing damage.

7. If food should ever ignite, keep the oven door

closed. Turn off the power immediately. Touch
CLEAR/OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off
powerat thefuseor circuit breakerpanel.

8, Remove the tempmture probe from the oven

whennotu$lngit to cook with. Ifyou leavethe probe

inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid

and turn cmmicrowave energy, it can create elec­trical arcing in the oven, and damageoven walls or
shelf.

9, Remove wire twlsbtles on paper and plastic­bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes
causebag to heat,and maycausefire.

10. E#olllngegg$(In oroutof theshell) 1snotrecom-

up inside egg yolk and causeit to burst, resulting in
injury,

11.Do riot pop popcorn in your microwaveoven
unless in a special microwavepopcorn accessoryor
unless you use popcorn in a packago labeled for
microwave ovcms,Elecaixmof the heat generated,
without thoseprecautions,the container could catch

fire.

12, like metal only as diroWd in cookbook. Metal

strips as used cmmeat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when usedas directed, Metaltrays maybe used

for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the
microwave oven, keep metai at ieast l-inch away

fromsidesofmicrowaveoven.

13.

DO not use any thermometerin food you are

microwavingunlessthat thermometeris designedor

recommendedfor useinthe microwaveoven.

14. Do not store fiammabiemateriaisin an oven.
Also, do not use flammable fluids in the vicinity of

youroven.

15. Do not use your microwave oven to dry news­papers.Ifoverheated,theycan catchfire.

16. Piastic Utensiis--PIastic utensils designed for
microwave cooking ar6 very useful, but should be

usedcarefully.Evenmicrowaveplastic maynot be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub­jected to short periods of overcooking. In longer ex­posures to overcooking, the food and utensils may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
plasticsonly and use them in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.2) Do
not subject emptyutensils to microwaving.3) Do not
permit children to use plastic utensils without com­pletesupervision.

17. Don’toperatethe ovenwhile empty in order to
prolong the life of the oven and save energy. if, by

accident,the ovenshould run emptya minute or two,
noharm isdone.

Q.Whydoes my ovenautomatically cut off after the

AUTOcyclewhen usingAutoCookControlCode1

whenitdoesnotforothersettings?
A.When usingCode 1,there is no second phaseof

minutes counting down. All the cooking is com­pletedinthefirst phaseor AUTO.

Q. If myfood is notcompletelycookedafterusing

the suggested Auto Cook Control Code, what
shouldI do?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some

/

additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
PowerLevel10for afew minutesuntil completion.

Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables require a
standingperiodaftercoakingwithAUTOCOOK?

A. Most vegetablesare cooked to a crisp statedur­ing Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving.
Therefore,it is recommendedthat 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

Cook?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly which shortens

the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish.
Recovertightly and resetAuto Cook.

Q. i30 the shapesand shzesof food make a differ-

encewhm usingAutoCook?
A. Yes,in some cases,larger pieces will require ad-

ditional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangementof pieces in the dish, since proper ar­rangementis often a successfultip in regular micro­waving,

(2. Should I use Auto Cook to cook pudding @r

sauces?
A. Mostpudding and sauce recipes require stirring

manytimesduring cooking; therefore, TimeCook is
recommendedsince you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affect­ingend cooking results.

Q. My scalloped potatoes+were not completely

cookedwhen 1removedthe dish after Auto Cook.
Whatiswrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the sauce with potatoes,there mayhave
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 decreasesthe fh%tsensingcycle,

Q. Are there any otherfoods which are best Time
Cooked, ratherthan Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocoiate or
foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirabie, are

fullycover the dish in Auto

cookedbestby TimeCook.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetablesrequire water
whenusingAutoCook?

A. Yes.Add water as recommendedon chart to the

vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.

Q. Wouldmy plasticcontainerswithverytightfit-

tinglidsbeappropriatefor AutomaticCooking?

A. No, most types of piastic storage dishes, butter

tubs,etc.with tight fitting lids arenotrecommended

for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may

prevent adequate steam from escaping and food
maynot cook properly during Automatic Cooking.

Q. i triedto warmsomechow meinnoodlesusing

AutoCook.Whydidn’tthiswork?
A, Foodmusthavesomemoistureinorder tocreate

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 useAutoCookwhen I amcookingmany

foodsIn morethanonedishorcasserole?

A. No,becauseofdifferentfood densities,attention

neededduring cooking, andfood amounts,it isbest

to useTIME COOK whencooking manyfoods.

CLWhywasmyroastnot fullycookedeventhough

the temperatureon the readoutwas correct and
AutoRoastcompleted?
A. Whencooking with Auto Roast,the temperature

probe must be inserted properly as fuily described

in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotat-

ing, the probe should be checked to make sure it

hasn’tslippedor changed position,
C%Last

in oven and reconnectedthe meat probe, AUTO
reappeared.Why’?

A, The oven and roast may have cooled to kmiow

80*, or probe may have been repositioned. Con­tinue roasting andnumberswill soon reappear.

Q. Are there any parthxdartrivetathatwork better

thanothers?
A. Yes,flat glass trivets such as iids or dish covers

give more even cooking resuits than plastic trivets.

Aiso, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work

well, Plastic trivets require meat to be turned over

more frequently becausethe grid design and iegs

aiiow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks,than glasstrivetsdo.

Q. Whydoesn’tthe roastcontinuecookingduring

thestandingorhaieiingtime?
A,The oven automatically reachesfinished temper-

ature and then decreases to a lower power level to

prevent overcooking. Thus an even temperature is

maintained.

cook codeT~ control

CookCodeTMis a short-cut control for entering time
and the Power Level on your microwave oven. Be
sureto check your Cookbookfor specific codes for

specificrecipes.
To understand the Cook Code control, it is impor-

tant to know what the numbersmeanand what the
sequence is. The first and second numbers, if set­ting a 3 digit Cook Code, indicate the amount of
timeyou desire;the last control entry number is al­waysthe PowerLevel. For example, 125means 12

minutes at Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can

only be programmedto 99 minuteswhen using the
Cook Code control and the highest PowerLevel is
10which is represented by “O”. When setting a 2
digit Cook Code control entry, the first is time, the
secondis power level.

Step 1: Touch COOK CODE.“Enter Code” flashes
andOshowscmreadout.

Step2: Enter the proper code into Cook Code con­trot. For example, a recipe calling for 12 minutes
cooking time at Power Level 10would be 120.The
