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 small

appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

PRECAUTIONS

IMPO~ANT S~ETY

mSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate 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 any object between the oven front face and the door or allow residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do Not Operate the oven 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.

(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

During baking, avoid frequent door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible when it is opened.

. For self-cleaning oven, be sure

to wipe up excess spillage before

●

Cook complete oven meals instead of just one food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some desserts will cook together with a main-dish casserole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose foods that cook at the same temperature in approximately

the same time.

. Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish

cooking casseroles, oven meals,

etc. Also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using

residual heat to warm them.

Instilling Your Range

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.

The range should be installed on a

sheet of plywood (or similar

material) as follows:

Automatic Defrosting

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you. You choose the appropriate Code number from 1 to 3 for the food you are defrosting, then enter the food weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (see Conversion Guide below) and touch START, The oven calculates defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

How to set Auto Defrost

Before you begin, check the guide located at bottom of oven when you open the door. It shows minimum and maximum Food Weights for each Code Number. You will need to know your Food Weight and corresponding Code before setting Auto Defrost.

1. Remove food from package, place in oven on microwave-safe dish, and close door.

Automatic Roasting

AUTO ROAST uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. 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 should be microwaved

by time, according to the Cookbook

which came with your oven,

Preparing Roasts for Auto Roasting

Cooking by Temperature

Temp Cook/Hold

(Auto Roast Code 7) Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness for many foods.

Use Auto Roast Code 7 and

the temperature probe to Temp

Cook/Hold and take the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset

temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

You might prefer to use Auto Roast Code 7 to enter a desired food temperature, power level, or Hold

temperature for up to twelve hours

after food is done.

The Temperature Probe

SENSOR

TWO P6SITION

CLIP

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using Auto Roast Codes 1-7.

A two-position clip attaches to the side of a dish to help keep the probe in position when temperature cooking foods such as chili or soup. To use your probe properly in a roast, follow directions on page 12.

Questions and Answers

Are there any foods I can’t

Temp Cook? A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice

cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc. soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters, doughs and frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It’s best to Time Cook these foods.

Q. Why did “PROBE” flash

after I touched the START pad?

A. “PROBE” will flash if you

don’t seat the cable end of the probe

securely into the receptacle in the

oven wall or if you touch the AUTO

ROAST pad and forget to use the

probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the

oven if it’s not inserted in food?

A. No, if it touches the oven

you may damage the oven.

Cooking Tips

heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

. Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used

in frozen foods.

●

Cover foods loosely for moisture
