Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto

Roasted until specifiedinternal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the Cookbook which comes with your oven. Complete information on preparing

roasts for microwaving is in your

Cookbook.

How toPrepareRoasts

for Auto Roasting

Place tender beef roasts on trivet in microwave-safe dish. Insert probe

from the front horizontally into

center meaty area not touching bone or fat. Cover with wax paper.

Poultry, pork or ham roasts need no trivet. Add % cup water to roast dish, cover with plastic wrap. (For

cooking bag method, seeCookbook.) Insert probe into center

meaty area.

Place meat in oven with probe to the right. Insert cable end of probe firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

why wasn’tmy roastfully cooked eventhoughthe temperatureon the displaywascorrectand Auto Roastwascompleted.

A. The temperature probe must be

properly inserted when you Auto

Roast. Check your Cookbook to

seewhat you might have done

rong.

Q. Do some types of

trivetswork

etterthan others?

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 the bottom ofthe meat stay cooler than glass trivets do.

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

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.

QUICK SET Control

Programming your oven for QUICK SET Control operation is

easy. Follow these simplesteps.

Step 1:Touch QUICK SET.

ENTER CODE flashes.

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 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

For Example:

Step2:Enter the proper code. For

example, a recipecallingfor 12minutes cooking time at Power Level

needed, add additional time by changing the first digit of the Code. You cannot add secondsto the cycletime—

Codes are for whole

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

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.

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.

Howto operateYourSelf=cieadng oven

- If doneproperly,it willtake only _ a few momentsto startthe self-

cleaningcycleon youroven. After

ettingyour ovento self-clean,a

igh heattemperatureremovesthe soil in the oven cavity.The dirtwill then disappearbyturninginto an ash wasteor evaporatinginto an odorlessandcolorlessvapor. When the cycleis complete, allowyour

rangeto COOL

WhileyouIarebecomingacquainted 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.

Step 2:Turn OVEN SET Knob and

OVEN TEMP Knob clockwiseto

CLEAN. The control willsnap into final position when the CLEAN position is reached.

careand cleating ofYourcooking center

Propercareandcleaningareimportantso yourCookingCenterwill giveyou efficientandsatisfactory service.Followthese directions carefullyin caringfor it to help assuresafeandpropermaintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICPOWER IS

OFF BEFORE CLEANINGANY PART OF YOURCOOKING CENTER.

Cormdl%mds

Don’t use sharp-edged utensils around the control panels. They might darnage 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 possible after use. Wipe it 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.

.Mumhm Foil on shehw+-Why youShowldn?Wix?it

DO NOT place a sheet of aluminum foil on any shelf in either your microwave or conventional oven. If you do, your foods may not cook properly. The oven finish may be damaged. And there may be an increase in heat on the outside sur-

faces of the oven.

OvenLamp

The oven lamp bulb is long-lasting. Only a qualified servicetechnician should replace it.

Pww.ltims for use

ofMetal

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 terriperature probe is designed for microwave oven use. Always keep metal at least one inch away from sidesof oven.

Ck!mring--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.

e!eatig-hside Keep

it clean andsweet-smelling.

Opening the oven door a few min-

utes after cooking helps air out the inside. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

Spills and spattersareeasyto re-

movefrom walls,floorandantenna cover. That’s because there’slittle

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 CLEANERON ANY PART OF YOURMICROWAVE OVEN.

Wipeupspatterson theglass on the-insideof the doordaily.Wash

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

Wipemetalandplasticpartson the insideof the doorfrequently.Use a

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.

Whencleaningsurfacesof doorand oventhat come togetheron closingthedoor,use onlymild,non-abrasivesoapsor

detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Do not removethe plasticantenna coveratthetop of the oven (see

page 6.) You willdamage the oven if you do.

UsingaBrown‘NSearDish: Use BarKeepersFriend@Cleanser.

High heat generated on the bottom

of the Brown ‘NSear Dish can cause scorched appearing stains to

e bake onto the floor if grease is present. These may be removed with Bar Keepers Friend@Cleanser by SerVassLaboratories, Inc.

After usingthis cleaner, rinse and dry thoroughly, following instructions 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.
