~ To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: —Do not overcook food. Care-

fully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties from

paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—Do not operatethe ovenwhile emptyto avoiddamageto the ovenand the dangerof 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 savesenergy and pro-

longs life of the oven. —If materials inside the oven

should ignite, keepoven door

closed,turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut

off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel.

e Some p~oductssuch as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed

glassjars—may explode and should not be heated in this

oven.

~ Avoidheatingbabyfood in

glassjars, evenwithout their

lids; especially meat and egg

mixtures.

e Seedoor surface cleaning

instructions on page 20.

e Don’tdefrostfrozenbever-

agesin narrow necked bottles;

especially carbonated ones.

Evenif the container is opened,

pressure can build up. This can

causethe container to burst,

resulting in injury.

~ Use metalonly as directedin

Cookbook.Metal strips as used

on meat, roasts are helpful when

used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in

metal trays. However, when

using metal in microwave oven,

keep metal(exceptfor DOUBLE

DUTYTMshelf)at leastl-inch

awayfromsidesof oven.

~ Cookingutensilsmay

becomehot 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. Potholders may be

needed to handle the utensil.

s Sometimes,the ovenfloor

can becometoo hot to touch.

Be careful touching the floor during and after cooking. o

s Do not useanythermometer

in food you are microwaving unlessthat thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

~ Removethe temperature probefrom the ovenwhen not ~singit 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.

~ Boilingeggs(in and out of shell)isnot recommendedfor

microwave cooking. Pressure

can build up inside egg yolk and

may cause it to burst, resulting

in injury.

~ Foodswithunbrokenouter

“skin”such as potatoes, hot

dogs or sausages,tomatoes,

apples, chicken livers and other

giblets, and eggs (seeabove)

steam to escape during cooking.

~ Plastic

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

tolerant of overcooking condi-

tions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only “and use them’; in strict co-mpliancewith 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.

Questions

andAnswers

Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a Power Level lower than HIGH.

Q. Can I Defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Raise

the Power Level after entering the time by touching POWER LEVEL and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the

—

time about in %; Power Level 10 cuts the t~me to approximately I/s.

During either, rotate or stir food

frequently.

Q. Can 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 in-

dicated in your Cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, re-set your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Can I select a-Power Level other than automatic Power Level 3 for defrosting?

A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be defrosted quicker on higher Power Levels but for even, carefree de- -m frosting, Power Level 3 is suggested. Check the chart in the =; Cookbook for specific times and = Power Levels.

CookingbyTemperature

For many foods, internal temperature is the best

test of doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods accurately to a serving temperature you desire is simple and easy.

TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven shuts off automatically when the food is done.

T%e Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it

must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion on page 12.

Questions

andAnswers

Q. 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 and doughs as well as frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It is best to TIME COOK

these foods,

Q. After I followed the steps and touched START, a signal sounded and oven did not start. What is wrong?

A. If you set the temperature either below 80° or greater than 199° the

oven will not start. To re-enter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad and begin steps again.

Q, Oven sounded and would not start although I entered the temperature correctly. What is wrong?

A. If you have not securely seated the end of the probe into the receptacle in the oven wall, if you touch TEMP COOK and have forgotten to use the probe or if the actual food temperature is higher

than set temperature, oven will sound and not start.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the oven if it’s not inserted in 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. How do I know what temperature to set?

A. Your Cookbook contains sec-

tions on all types of foods showing

the temperatures needed to cook

the foods to different degrees of doneness. For reheating, refer to Reheating Charts in the front of the Cookbook for specific temperatures.

Howto Usethe Hold/Timer

Your HOLD/TIMER, which oper-— ates without microwave ene’rgy,

has three timing functions. It operates as a Minute” Timer, it

can be set to delay cooking or may be used as a hold setting after defrosting. Hold/Timer can be set up to 99 minutes.

Step 1: Touch HOLD/TIMER pad. The display shows :0. Signal light above HOLD/TIMER flashes.

Step 2: Select the amount of time you desire. Touch the appropriate number pads. If, for example, you

are timing a three minute phone call, touch 3, 0, and O.The display shows 3:00.

Step 3: Touch START. The readout display shows the time as it counts down.

Step 4: When time is up, oven will signal and display will show time of day.

The HOLD/TIMER can also be

used to program “standing time” between microwave cooking func-

tions. The time can range from one second to 99 minutes and 99 sec-

onds. A HOLD, or “standing” time may be found in some of your own recipes or Cookbook.

To set the oven to delay cooking up to 99 minutes follow Steps 1 and 2 to enter hold time, then set Time Cook and time, or Temp Cook and temperature desired before pressing START. When holding before temperature cooking, be sure probe is in food before pressing START.

Howto Defrost–Hold/Time–Time Cook

To help you become acquainted with the HOLD/TIMER feature as used with Time Cook or Temp Cook follow steps below to defrost a frozen casserole for 15 minutes, then hold 10 minutes and then cook 25 minutes. If using Temp Cook after Hold/Timer, be sure to insert probe correctly as shown on page 12.

Questions andAnswers

Q. What will happen if I accidentally reverse the instructions?

A. If you accidentally reverse the sequence of programming instructions, your oven automatically rearranges your program. Defrosting always comes first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Step 3: Set standing or hold time by touching HOLD/TIMER. :0 appears on display. Signal light above HOLD/TIMER flashes.

Step 4: Touch 1,0, 0 and Oto hold for ten minutes. 10:00 appears on display.

Q. I programmed my oven for a specific defrosting time but it defrosted longer than necessary. What happened?

A. When instructions conflict, the oven carries out the last instruction. You may have s,etthe oven to Defrost for 4 minutes, Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would Defrost for 6 minutes and Hold/Time for 2 minutes.

Step 5: Touch the TIME COOK

pad. This display shows :0 and signal light above TIME COOK

flashes.

Step & Touch 2, 5, 0 and O for twenty-five minutes of cooking time. 25:00 appearson display.

Step7: Touch START. 15:00 count-

ing down shows on display. As each function is automatically performed oven display shows entered

information and light above that function comes on. While cooking,

you may touch appropriate pad to

recall times you set.

Q. Can I Defrost-Hold only on my

oven?

A. Yes, for foods you don’t want to cook, like frozen fruit, frozen whipped topping, etc.—refer to

Cookbook.

NOTE: Allow foods to remain at room temperature only as long as safe. Times will vary.

Questions

andAnswers

Q. Are there any particular trivets that work better than others?

A. Yes,flat glass trivets such as lids

or dish covers generally give more even cooking results than plastic

trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-

bottomed roasting dishes usually

work well. Plastic trivets generally

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 was my roast not fully Q. Is it necessary to always cover cooked even though the tempera- foods during Auto Roast? ture 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. Check to make sure the probe hasn’t slipped or changed position.

A. No, but a loose covering helps prevent spattering and hold moisture in food.

Howto use Quicksetcontrol

The Quick Set control provides a short-cut method

for entering time and the Power Level on your microwave oven. Cooking Codes are only used for which need little or no attention, and which require no change of power level during cooking. Recipes which require additional ingredients, attention or change in power !evel during microwaving should be cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with cooking time of less than one minute or more than 99 minutes can not use Cooking Codes.

To understand the Quick Set control, it is important to know what the numbers mean and what the sequence ‘is. The first and second numbers, if set-

ting a3 digit Code, indicate the amount of time you desire; the last control entry number is always the

Power Level. For example, 125 means 12 m“inutesat

Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the Quick Set control and the highest Power Level is 10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a 2 digit Code entry, the first is time, the second is power level.

example,

50 means 5 minutes at Power Level 10.

QUICK SET CODE

recipes

For

IIForExample

On the following page is shown many frequently prepared foods and their codes. It’s easy, though, to make Quick Set codes for many other recipes. Just select one or two digits representing the length of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the Power Level required. The Codes given on the chart are for the minimum time needed, to avoid overcooking which can dry out food and make it tasteless and tough. If you feel that more cooking is needed, add additional time by changing the first digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the cycle time your recipe calls for Power Level changes 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.

CookingTips

@ Foil may be used to line the

broiler pan and rack. However, be sure to cut openings in the foil to correspond with the slits

in the broiler rack so fat drips into the pan below.

~ For all weights of chicken, broil

with door closed.

@ Placing food closer to the top

of the oven increases smoking, spattering, on the meat and the possibility

of food fat catching on fire. Always keep rack 3-5 inches from the broiling unit.

(Alsosee Roasting Chart, page 24=)

Step 1: Check the weight of the

meat and place, fat side up, on the

rack in the broiler pan that came with your range. This helps the

meat to baste itself.

Step 2: Position oven shelf on

embossed shelf support “B” for

small roasts (3-5 Ibs.) and position

“A” for larger roasts. For very tall

roasts, remove second oven shelf.

comes on and remains on until temperature is reached.

St6p 5: Place your meat inside the oven, making sure the pan is not touching the oven walls or door.

Step & Turn off the heat when the

roasting cycle is complete.

CookingTips

Be sure meat is cooked to your satisfaction. Most meats con-

tinue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. This should be taken into consideration when determining your cooking time.

Always use a roasting pan that fits the size of your meat. A roast placed in a pan too small for its size will drip over the edge.

You may cook frozen meat

roasts without thawing. How-

ever, you must allow more

cooking time. For large roasts, add 10-25 minutes per pound. For roasts under 5 pounds, add 10 minutes per pound.

To slow down surface browning

on turkeys, you can use a foil “tent”.

should be laid loosely over the

poultry so the heat can circulate

under the foil.

Most frozen poultry should be thawed before cooking to ensure it is done evenly. Some, however, can be cooked successfully without thawing. Check the packer’s label for

specific directions.

BroilingChart

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven. It

is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping

juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

~. oven door should be ajar for most foods; there is a special position on door which holds door open correctly,

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. Toslash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and loosing juices. ~. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or, brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only. -

RoastingChati

1. Position oven shelf at B for small-size roasts (3 to 7 lbs.) and

at A for larger roasts.

2. Place meat fat side up or poultry breast-side up on broiler pan or other shallow pan with trivet. Do not cover. Do not stuff

poultry until just before roasting. Use meat probe, for more accurate doneness. Control signals when food has reached set temperature. (Do not place probe in stuff ing.)

3. Remove fat and drippings as necessary. Baste as desired.

-e

4. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 min. to allow roast to firm up and make it easier to carve. It will rise

about 5° to 10° internal temperature; to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove roast from oven at 5° to 10° less than temperature on chart.

5. Frozen roasts can be conventionally roasted by adding 10

to 25 min. per pound more time then given in chart for refrigerated. (10 min. per lb. for roasts under 5-lbs.) Defrost poultry before roasting.

PROBLEM

OVEN WILL NOTWORK

OVEN LIGHT DOES NOT WORK

FOOD DOES NOT BROIL PROPERLY

I POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

Difficulty may be in the main distribution panel of your house by a blown

oven circuit fuse, a tripped oven circuit breaker, the main fuse or the

main circuit breaker, depending on nature of the power supply. If a circuit breakeris involved,reset it. If the control box usesfuses,the oven fuse (a cartridge-type) should be changed BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE

FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. If after doing one of these

procedures,the fuse blows or circuit breakertrips again,call for service.

NOTE: Apartment tenants or condominium owners should requesttheir

building management to perform this check before calling for service.

Oven controls are not properly set.

Door left in locked position after cleaning.

Light bulb is loose.

Bulb is defective. Replace.

Switch operating oven light is broken. Call for service.

OVEN SET Knob not set at BROIL.
