Questionsand Answers
Q. Isetmyovenfor the time called
for in therecipebut at the end of the time allowed, my dish wasn’t done. Whathappened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many Time Cook
recipesgive you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven
for minimum time, test the food for
doneness, and cook your dish a little longer, if necessary.

QtrMions and Answers
AfterI followedthe stepsand
Q.
touchedSTART, a signal;ounded andoven did not start.Whatis wrong?
A. If you set the temperature either
below 90° or greater than 199°the
oven willnot start. To re-enter, touch CLEAR/ OFF pad and begin stepsagain.
Q. Are thereanyfoods I“can’t
TempCook?
A. Yes.Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm tem-
peratures. Batters and doughs as wellas frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook preciselywith the probe. It is best to Time Cook
these foods.
Q. Why did“PR 013°flash on the
displayafterI touchedStart?
A. “PR OB” willflash on the dis-
play if you have not securely seated
the end of the probe into the recep-
tacle in the oven wall or if you
touch TEMP COOKI HOLD and
have forgotten to use the probe.
Q. CanI leavemy probein the
oven if it’snot insertedin the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may
damage the oven.
Q. CanI Temp Cook different portionsof food at different temperatures?
A. Yes.The temperature probe
givesyou the freedom to cook dif­ferent portions of food at different. temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place the probe in the food and change the temperature setting as needed.

Qwstions and Answers
Q. Whatwillhappenif I acciden-
tallyreversemydefrost,holdand
cook instructions?
A. The oven automatically rear­ranges your program. Defrosting
always comes first, then hold, and
then the cooking function.
Q. CanI defrostandhold only?
A. Yes.Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and cook it later. All you need to do is program in Defrost and amount of time. Then program Hold and the amount of time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room temperature only as long as safe. -
Times will vary.
Q. I programmedmy ovenfor a specificdefrostingtime but it defrostedlongerthan necessary. Whathappened?
A. When instructions conflict, ~he
oven carries out the last instruc!i!ion. Youmay have set the oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In
this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 min-
utes and ignore your first defrost
instruction.

HowtoUse QUICKSET Control
The QUICK SET Control provides a shortcut method for entering time and the Power Level on your micro­wave oven. QUICK SET Codes are only used for recipes which need little or no attention, and which require no change of power level during cooking. Recipes which require additional ingredients, attention or change of power level during microwaving should be
cooked in the usual manner. Also,
recipes with cooking time of less than one minute or more than
99 minutes cannot use Codes. To understand the QUICK SET
Code control, it is important to know what the numbers mean and what the sequence is. The first and second numbers, if setting a 3 digit Code, indicate the amount of time you desire; the last control entry number is always the Power Level. For example, 125means 12minutes at Power Level5. NOTE: Your
oven can only be programmed to
99 minutes when using the QUICK
SET control and the highest Power Levelis 10which is represented by
“O”.When setting a 2 digit QUICK
SET control entry, the first is time, the second is power level. For example, 50 means 5 minutes at
Power Level 10. On the followingpage is shown
many frequently prepared foods and their Codes. It’seasy,though, to make Codes for many other recipes. Just select oneor twodigits representing the lengthof cooking time desired, and a final digitfor the PowerLevel required. The Codes given on the guide are for the
minimum time needed to avoid
overcookingwhich can dry out foodand make ittastelessand
tough. If you feelthat more
cookingis needed, add additional
time bychanging the first digitof the Code. Youcannot add seconds
to the cycle
wholeminutesonly.If yourrecipe
callsfor Power Levelchanges or
different amounts of time needed
between addition of ingredients,
you may set one Code for the first part of the recipe, then after com­pletion, set another Code for that period of time and Power Level.
Remember that QUICK SET Codes are for microwaving by time only. If you are microwaving by temperature, you must use the Temp Cook or Auto Roast function.
When the oven completes QUICK SET program, it automatically shuts off. It willthen display “End” and beep once a minute until you either open the door or touch the CLEAR/ OFF pad.

Canningshouldbedoneon cooktoponly.
In surface cooking of foodsother than canning, the use oflargc­diameter utensils (extendingmore than l-inchbeyondedgeoftrimring) is not recommended. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter utensils may be used. This is
because boiling water temperatures
(evenunder pressure) are not
harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
UTENSILS FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS Ol?HER THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cookat temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
-temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding heating units.

careandcleaning
Propercareand cleaningareimpor­tantso yourCooking Centerwill giveyouefficientandsatisfactory service.Follow thesedirections carefullyincaringfor it to help assuresafeandpropermaintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICPOWERIS OFF BEFORE CLEANINGANY PART OF YOURCOOKING CENTER.
ControlPanels
Don’t use sharp-edged utensils around the control panels. They might damage it.
Clean the panels with a lightly dampened cloth. DO NOT USE cleaning sprays or large amounts of soap and water. These can cause problems with the control mechanisms.
TemperatureProbe
The probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling it.
Do not twist it. Avoid dropping it.
Clean as soon as possibleafter use. Wipeit with a sudsy cloth, then rub metal parts with a plastic scouring pad if necessary. Rinse and dry. DO NOT wash the probe in an
automatic dishwasher.
AJurninum l?oii cm She]ves­WilyJ’OLII
DO NOT place a sheet of alum­inum foil on any shelfin either your microwave or conventional oven. If

shouldn’tUseit
OvenLamp
The oven lamp bulb is long-lasting. Only a qualified servicetechnician should replace it.
DOUBLEDUTY*M ShelfAccessory
Your shelfaccessory is designed for use in a microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a browning dish with the shelf.Arcing could occur.
Clean shelf with mild soap and water or in the dishwasher. Do not remove plastic spacers from the
shelfwhen cleaning. Do not clean
in self-cleaningoven.
PrecautionsforUseof Metal
Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook. Metal trays no more than 3/4” deep may be used for TV dinners, and the metal temperature probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sides of oven.
Cleaning-Outside
Clean the outside of your micro­wave oven with soap and water, then rinse and dry. The outer pane of the window is glass. Wipe it clean with a damp towel. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.
Cleaning-Inside
Keepit cleanandsweet-smelling.
Opening the oven door a few min­utes after cooking helps air out the
inside. An occasional thorough wip­ing with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.
Spillsand spattersareeasy to re­movefromwalls,floor and antenna
cover.That’s because there’s little
heat except in the food, or some­times in the utensil. Some spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some may require a damp cloth. Remove
greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth,
then rinse and dry.
NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL
OVEN CLEANER ON ANY
PART OF YOURMICROWAVE
OVEN.
Wipeup spatterson the glasson the insideof the door daily.Wash
glass, when it’ssoiled, with a min­imum of sudsy, warm water. Rinse thoroughly a~d dry.
Wipemetalandplasticpartson the insideof the door freq~ently.
damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, such as cleaning powders or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.
Door Surface.When cleaning sur-
faces of door and oven that come
together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or
detergents applied with a sponge
or soft cloth.
Do not removethe plasticantenna coverat the top of the oven (see

Using a Brown‘NSear Dish? Use BarKeepersFriend@Cleanser.
High heat generated on the bottom of the Brown ‘N Sear Dish can
cause scorched appearing stains to bake onto the oven floor if grease is present. These may be removed
with Bar Keepers Friend@Cleanser
by SerVaas Laboratories, Inc.
After using this cleaner, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instruc-
tions on can. Do not use it on the painted surfaces such as the walls—
it may scratch the paint.
Bar Keepers Friend@Cleanser is
sold in many grocery, hardware and department stores.

AdjustingOvenThermostat
—-—.
When cooking a food for the first
i
ime in your new oven, use time
m
given on recipe as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory setting and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. Yournew oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accu­rate than the oven which it replaced. However, if you find that your
foods consistently brown too little
or too much, you may make a
simple adjustment in the thermostat (Oven Temp) knob.
PULL KNOB OFF OF SHAFT, LOOK AT BACK OF KNOB AND NOTE CURRENT SETTING, BEFORE MAKING ANY
DJUSTMENT.
LampReplacement
CAUTION:Beforereplacingyour ovenlampbulb,disconnectthe electricpowerfor yourCooking Centerat themainfuseor circuit breakerpanel.Be sure to let the

UseofAluminumFoilin
Broiiing
If you wish, you may line the broiler pan with aluminum foil and cover the rack with it for broiling. ALWAYSBE SURE TO MOLD THE FOIL THOROUGHLY TO THE BROILER RACK AND SLIT THE FOIL TO CONFORM WITH SLITS IN THE RACK. Stopping fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan pre­vents the rack from serving its pur­pose and MAY LET JUICES BECOME HOT ENOUGH TO CATCH FIRE.

Each notch changestemperature

~Return knob to the range by matching the flat area of the knob
to the shaft.
~Recheckovenperformancebefore
making an additional adjustment.
OvenVentDuct
Oven is vented through a duct located under the right rear Calrod@unit. To clean duct: re-
move Calrod@unit and drip pan/ ring. Lift out vent duct. In replac­ing, make sure the duct opening is under the opening in drip pan. Correct positioning is important to
allow moisture and vapors to be released from oven. Never cover the hole.
TO REMOVE door, open to BROIL position, or where you feel hinge catch slightly. Grasp door at sides;lift door up and away from hinges.
TO REPLACE, grasp door at sides,
Line up door with hinges and push
door firmly into place.
