Help us help you...

Before using your oven, read this book carefully.

It is intended to help you operate and maintain your new microwave oven properly.

Keep it handy for answers to your questions.

If you don’t understand something or need more help, write (include your phone number):

Consumer Affairs

Hotpoint

Appliance Park Louisville, KY40225

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label inside the oven.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership

Registration Card that came with your microwave oven. Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:

Model Number

Serial Number

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 microwave oven should a need occur for adjustments.

Your supplier is responsible for registering you as the owner.

Please check with your supplier to be sure he has done so; also send in your Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card. If you move, or if you are not the original purchaser, please write to us, stating model

and serial numbers.

This appliance must be registered. Please he certain that it is.

Write to:

Hotpoint

Range Product Service Appliance Park Louisville, KY40225

If you received a damaged oven . . .

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

Save time and money.

Before you request service . . .

check the Problem Solver on page 31. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

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

glue

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 1-1 % minutes

at

automatic power level 10 (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 the cooking guide, pages

16-25.

●

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.

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 appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do

Not Attempt

this oven with the door open since open door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place

between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c)

Do Not

if it is damaged. It is particularly

important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (bent)

(2) hinges and latches (broken or

loosened)

(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.

—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

–Mper

wax paper. Recycled paper

products can contain metal flecks

which may cause arcing or ignite.

Paper

products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

–Do not operate the oven

empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of

fire.

If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at

all

times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

–Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

udess

in a special microwave popcorn accessory or

udess

you use popcorn labeled for

use in microwave ovens. –Do not overcook potatoes.

They could dehydrate and catch

fire,

causing damage to your oven.

–If materials inside oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect power cord, or shut off power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.

s

Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars—may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

●

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

●

Don’t

defrost frozen beverages in narrow naked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can

bufld

up. This can cause the container

to burst, resulting in injury.

s

Use

mehl

only as directed in

this book. TV dinners maybe microwaved

in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep (except for the Double

sides of oven.

●

Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the

●

Sometimes, the cooking tray

utensd.

can become too hot to touch. Be careful handling the cooking tray during and after cooking.

●

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to page 29 for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

Q

Do not use a thermometer in

food you are microwaving unless

the thermometer is designed or

recommended for use in the

microwave oven.

c

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 and damage oven walls.

●

Plastic

utensih-Plastic

utensils designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not 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

fd

and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics

ordy

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.

c

When cooking pork follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

●

Boiling eggs is not recommended in a microwave oven. Pressure can build up

egg

inside the

yolk 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, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in the convenience food guide (pages 14 and 15) and the cooking guide (pages 16-25). If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage

conbiners

should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

–Use pot holders when handling the shelf and utensils. They may be hot.

–Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat.

–Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage (see page 26).
