Q. Do some types of

A. Yes.Flat glass trivets generally
provide more browning to the

bottom of meats than plastic
trivets. Also, ceramic ridge­bottomed roasting dishes usually
work well. Plastic trivets may
require meat to be turned over
more often than glasstrivets do

because the grid design and legslet

QuestionsandAnswers

Q. What willhappenif I acciden­tallyreversemy defrost,hold and

A. The oven.automatically rear-

ranges 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. Besure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.

NOTE: Let foods remain at room - =
temperature only as long as safe. ~­Times willvary.

Q. I programmedmy oven for a = ‘

Whathappened?
A. When instructions conflict, the

oven carries out the last instruction.
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 min­utes and ignore your first defrost
instruction.

How to Use QUICKSETContiol

The QUICK SET Control provides
a short-cut method for entering
time and the Power Level on your
microwave oven. QUICK SET
Codes are only usedfor recipes
which need little or no attention,

and whichrequire no change of

power levelduring cooking.
Recipes which require additional

ingredients, attention or change of

power level during microwaving
should be cooked in the usual
manner. Also, recipeswith cooking
time of lessthan 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 sequenceis. The first and
second numbers, ifsettinga 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 istime,
the second is power level. For
example, 50 means 5 minutes at
Power Level 10.

On the following page is shown
many frequently prepared foods
and their codes. It’seasy, though,
to make Codes for many other
recipes. Just selectone 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 secondsto the
cycletime—
minutes only. If your recipe calls
for Power Levelchanges or dif­ferent amounts oftime 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.

See Roasting Charton page21.

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:Useshelfposition “A” or

“B”;or the one indicated on

Roasting Chart, page 21. Place
Oven Shelf on correct embossed
shelfsupport. For very tall roasts, “

remove second oven shelf.

Step 3: Turn the OVEN TEMP

Knob to 325°.(The exception is

small poultry which is roasted at

3750.)
Step 4: Close the oven door and

turn the OVEN SET Knob to
BAKE. Oven “On” Light comes
on and stays on until OVEN SET
Knob is turned to OFF. Oven
Cycling Light comes on and
remains on until temperature is
reached.

Step 5: Place your meat insidethe
oven, making sure the pan is not

touching the oven wallsor door.

Step 6: Turn off the heat when the
roasting cycle is complete.

forRoasting

CookingTips

Besure meat iscooked to your

~

satisfaction. Most meats continue
to cook slightlywhile 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 sizeof your meat. A roast
placed in a pan too small for its size
willdrip over the edge.

* You may cook frozen meat roasts
without thawing. However, you
m’ustallow more cooking time. For

large roasts, add 10-25minutes per

pound. For roasts under 5 pounds,

add 10minutes per pound.

s To slow down surfacebrowning

onturkeys, you can usea foil“tent”.

The tent-shaped foil 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 successfullywithout
thawing. Check the packer’s label
for specificdirections.

Howto setYom

ovenforBroiting

See BroilingCharton page220
Step 1:Place the meat on the

broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always usethe rack so fat drips
into the broiler pan.

Step 2: Position oven shelf as indi­cated on Broiling Chart, page 22.

Step 3: Turn the OVEN SET Knob

and OVEN TEMP Knob to BROIL.

Both Oven Indicator Lights
come on.

Step 4: Leave oven door ajar about
3 inches(except chicken, seebelow).

The door will stay open itselfyet

the proper tempe~atfire willbe
maintained in the oven. During

cooking, turn the food only once.

Step 5: Turn OVEN SET Knob to
OFF and serve food immediately.

Leave the pan outside the oven to
cool during the meal for easy
cleaning.

(hoking Tips

/?

@Foil may be used to line the

broiler pa~ and rack. However, be

sure to cut openings in the foil to
correspond with the slits in the

broile~rack so fat drips into the
pan below.

@For all weights of chicken, broil

with door clo~ed.
@Placing food closer to the top of

the oven increases smoking, spat­tering, exterior browning on the

meat and the possibility of food fat
catching on fire. Always keep rack

3-5 inches from the broiling unit.

withyourself-cleaningoven, we

recommend2 hoursfor the average

cleaningfunction,but in some cases
alonger cleaningtime, upto 3 hours

may be necessary.In order to judge

the degree of soil, look at the oven
floor and walls. Light spatter and
thinner spills would generally need
only 2 hours cleaning. Heavy greasy
spillsand spatter on the oven inte­rior would need up to 3 hours.

Step 1:Remove all cookware and

food as wellas heavy soil deposits
from the oven. Clean spatters or

~ spillsaround the oven door, rec-

-..U=l=(flanges, and gasket. Then

=== close the door.
