For Personal Safety, This Appliance Must BeProperly Grounded. The power cord ofthis appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wail receptacle (Fig. 1) to minimize the possi-
bilityof electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
surethe receptacleis properly grounded.
Where astandard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, itis the personal responsibility andobiigation of the customerto have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do NotUnderAny Circumstances Cutor Remove
TheThird (Ground)ProngFrom ThePowerCord.
A.Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power
Cord Will BeDisconnected Infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, westrongly recommend againsttlle use
of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPO-
Warranty
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Back
~
RARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger siot in the
wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
1
Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
B, Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power
CordWill BeDisconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Tips
1. For personal safety the oven must be properly
grounded. See grounding instructions m page 3 of
this book. For best operation, plug this appliance
into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
2. Use of extension cords, Because of potential
safety hazards under certain conditions we strongly
recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord and that
the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be
15 amperes or greater. Such extension cords are
obtainable through Hotpoint service. If you do use
an extension cord with your microwave oven, the
interior light may flicker and the blower sound may
vary when oven is in use.
3. Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches or more back from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance in
normal usage.
4. Use meta! only as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when used as directed. Metal trays may be
used for TV dinners. However, when using metal in
the microwave oven, keep metal at least l-inch
away from sides of microwave oven.
“5.Do not operate ?heoven while empty to avoid
damage to the oven and the danger ~f fire. If by ac-
cident the oven should run empty a minute or two,
no harm is done. Flowever, try to avoid operating
the oven empty at all times–it saves energy and
prolongs life of the oven.
6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil, Pot holders may be
needed to handle the utensil.
7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot
to touch. Be careful touching the shelf during and
after cooking.
8. Do not use any thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless that thermometer is designed
or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
9. 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.
10. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic
bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes
cause bag to heat, and may cause fire.
11.fkm’tdefrostfrozen beverages in narrow necked
bottles especially carbonated ones. Even if the con-
tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.
12. Don’t overcook. Excessive overcooking dehy-
drates potatoes, and may cause them to catch fire
causingdamage.
13. Mfood should ever ignite: Keep the oven door
closed. Turn off the power immediately: Touch
CLEAF1/OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off
power at the fuse circuit breaker panel.
14. Boiling eggs (in and out of shell) is not recom-
mended for microwave cooking. Pressure can build
up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury,
15. Foodswith unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples,
chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see
above) should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
16.’’Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pricked or vented as di-
rected in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly
resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers
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.
17. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory
or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated without
these precautions, the container could catch fire.
18. Plastic Utensils-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 kmger exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils
could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
plastics only “and use them” in strict compliance
with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) DOnot subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3)
i)o not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.
19. Do not use your microwave oven to dry news-
papers. If overheated, they can catch fire.
20. Use of Shelf Accessory. To position shelf so
that it is securely “seated,” insert into the oven cavity above sh”elfsupports and completely to the back
oven wall. Drop into place so that the recessed
areas are over the shelf supports, To remove shelf,
lift shelf above supports and then pull forward and
out. Do not place food on shelf unless it is securely
“seated” on the supports.

Microwaving with your new oven can offer a variety of easy
cooking options. From freezer-to-table ready meals, use the
AUTOMATIC COOKING CONTROL option with the fully instructional display. The TIME COOK and TEMP COOK features are especially effective for your specialty dishes or favorite recipes.
The Automatic Cooking Control feat~re does your cooking
for you once you have completed the basic cooking steps
outlined in the Use and Care Book. For your cooking ease
and convenience, the Auto Cook and Auto Roast control
pads allow you to use this feature to practically do your
cooking for you. Just follow the electronic display’s step-by-
step programming instructions; then let the auto sensor detect the food’s steam and automatically cook your meal.
With Auto Roast, meats are cooked as you desire and held
for up to one hour; for added convenience, Auto Roast Code
6 simmers and slow-cooks foods which need long, gentle
cooking for tenderizing or flavoring. This Code also holds
your dish for an unlimited amount of time at the end of
cooking.
Conventional microwaving offers additional benefits for the
cook with a creative flair. With microwave energy, foods
cook faster while retaining their natural moisture. Reheating
is easy because unusual shapes and sizes won’t be overcooked, and defrosting is particularly convenient because
less time is spent in food preparation.
For precise cooking tasks, use the conventional microwave
features. With TIME COOK, you simply preset the time and
your oven turns off automatically. TEMP COOK, which determines doneness ttirough the internal temperature of the
cooked dish, shuts off automatically when the food reaches
a preset temperature.
Read this book to learn the many different things your micro-
wave oven can do. You will find a variety of cooking methods
and programs specialized to suit your individual lifestyle. We
think you will find microwaving the contemporary way, and
the smart way, to cook.
The readout panel displays five 8’s and 18 POWER on the upper portion and all of the oven functions on the lower portion.
After 15 seconds, all lights disappear and “RESET” flashes in
the upper portion. Touch the CLEARtOFF pad and oven is
ready for use.
If power is disrupted at any time, the above sequence reoccurs, and you must reset CLOCK after touching CLEAR/OFF+
Page 9
The Auto Cook pad may be used to eliminate your
need to look up cooking time in the Cookbook, or
guessing how long to set cooking time. By actually
sensing the steam which escapes as food microwaves, this feature automatically adjusts the oven’s
cooking time to various types and amounts of food,
Because cooking containers must be covered, this
feature is best with foods which you wish to steam or
to retain moisture, see chart on next page. Foods
which are best microwaved uticovered or only Iightl y
covered should be cooked using time or temperature settings.
After touching the Auto cook pad, and pressing
Start, you will see the word AUTO on the readout,
which indicates that the sensor has been activated
to sense steam from the food. To prevent the escape of steam from the oven, do not open the door
while the word AUTO is on the readout. If door is
opened, ERROR appears. Close door and touch
START immediately.
Setting 1, which is designed for easy reheating of
foods, automatically turns the oven off as soon as
the sensor detects steam from the foods. Other
Auto Cook control settings, which are for fresh or
frozen foods, need additional time after steam has
been sensed. For these foods, the oven determines
the amount of additional time needed, then automatically switches the oven to Time Cook for the
necessary cooking time remaining. Oven beeps
when it switches to Time Cook (AUTO on readout is
replaced by numbers indicating cooking time), and
oven door can be opened for stirring or rotating
food.
Be careful of steam when removing tight covers.
When you remove cover, direct the steam away
from hands and face.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
interior of microwave oven are dry.
Always cover food containers using lids or plastic
wrap. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to
allow for expansion, Seal by pressing plastic wrap
firmly around edges, For best results, never stretch
plastic wrap tightly over food, or use tight-sealing
plastic lids.
Always stir or rotate after beeping signal.

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to
the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp Cook,
which uses a single power ievei, Auto Roast uses
up to 3 power settings which automatically switch
during roasting, thus providing even tender cooking
results without overcooking.
Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts
should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts shouid
be microwaved by time, according to the Cookbook
which comes with your oven. Complete information
on preparing roasts for microwaving is in your
Cookbook.

Q. Why does my own autcwnaticaily cut off after the
AUTO cyclewhen using Auto Cook Control Code 1
when it does not for other settings?
A. When using (Xx@ 1,there is no second phase of
minutes counting down. All the cooking is completed in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. if w food is not completely cooked after wing
We suggested Auto Cook Control Code, what
should I do?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
Power Level 10for afew minutes until completion.
Q. h all fresh or frozen vegetables require a
standing period aftercooking with AUTO COOK’?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to a crisp state dur-
ing 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 dish.
Recover tightly and reset Auto Cook.
Q, Do the shapes and sizes of food make a differ-
ence when using ALIto Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces will require ad-
ditional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arrangement is often a successful tip in regular micro-
waving,
Q. Should ~ 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 since you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affecting end cooking results.
Cl. My scalloped potatoes were not completely
cooked when Jremoved 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 Thne
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.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water
when usifig Auto Cook?
A. Yes. Add water as recommended on chart to the
vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.
Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fit-
ting 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 rnein noodles using
Auto Cook. Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture in orderto 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 ofdifferentfood densities, attention
needed during cooking, and food amounts, it is best
to use TIME COOK when cooking many foods.
Q. Why was my roast not fully cooked even though -
the temperature on the readout was correct and ~
Auto Roast completed?
A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature
probe must be inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook. After turning 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 removed the roast
from the oven to turn it over. When I replaced roast
in oven and reconnected the meat probe, AUTO
reappeared. Why?
A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below
80°, or probe may have been repositioned. Continue roasting and numbers will soon reappear.
Q. Are there any particular trivets that work better
than others?
A. Yes, flat glass trivets such as lids or dish covers
give more even cooking results than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work
well. Plastic trivets 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. Why doesn’t the roast continue cooking during
the standing or hokiing time?
A. The oven automatically reaches finished temper-
ature and then decreases to a lower power lewd to
prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is maintained,

The Defrost setting is designed for
even thawing necessary for large
amounts of food and is one of the
most important advantages of a
mmowave oven, making defrost-
ing quick and easy with little attention. Power Leve! 3 is autoniatically
set for defrosting, but you may
change this for more flexibility. See
your Cookbook for the complete
defrosting chart.
To become better acquainted with
your Defrost function, defrost frozen pork chops by following the
steps below.

CLCan I open the door during DEFROST to check on the progress
of my food?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving, To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times
in the Cookbook seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook times are average,
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 stiii not completely thawed
at the end of that time, re-set your
oven and adjust the time accordingly,

Your New Microwave Oven is a Valuable App!iance,
Protect It From Misuse lilyFollowingThese Rules:
e Keep your oven clean and sweet-smelling,
Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking
helps “air-out” the interior. An occasional thorough
wiping with a solution of baking soda and water
keeps the interior fresh,
e+Don’t use sharp-edged utensils with yeur oven.
The interior and exterior oven walls can be
scratched. The control panel can be damaged.
e Don’t remove the cover over the “stirrer” at the
top of the oven (microwave feature 4 on page 5).
You will damage the oven.
