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.

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

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.

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

youdo, your foods may not cook
properly. The oven finish may be
damaged. And there may be an
increase in heat on the outside
surfaces of the oven.

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

glass, when it’ssoiled, with a min­imum of sudsy, warm water. Rinse
thoroughly a~d dry.

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

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

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.

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.
