2. Touch number pads 3,0 and O
(for 3 minutes and no seconds).
3. Touch the START pad. Display

4. When time is up, oven signals
and display flashes “End.”
Using a Holding Time
The Hold Timer can also be used to

Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearrange your program.
Defrosting will always come first,
then hold, and then the cooking
function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost food, hold it and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Time Defrost and the
amount of time. Then program
Hold and the amount of time. Be
sure to put the thawed dish in the
refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork,
should not be allowed to sit out
for more than one hour before or
after cooking. Room temperature
promotes growth of harmful
bacteria.
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 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.

Defrosting Tips
● Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
● For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
● Family-size, pre-packaged,
frozen entrees can be defrosted
and microwaved. Remove from
foil container and place in a
microwave-safe dish.
● Check the cookbook for other
defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many Time Cook
recipes give you a time range to
prevent overcooking. Set the oven
for the minimum time, test the
food for doneness, and cook your
food a little longer, if necessary.
Q.
I touched the number pads and
selected my power level. When I
touched the START pad, however,
my oven didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the cooking
time with the number pads or else
your oven will not begin cooking.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level
other than High. What do I
need to do?
A. To cook on a power level other
than High,
COOK pad and set the desired
cooking time. Then touch the
POWER LEVEL pad. “POWER

new power level on the number
pads and then touch the START pad.

How to Roast in Your Lower Oven
See
Roasting
Guide.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.
It’s really a baking procedure
used for meats. That’s why
you use the Bake controls for
roasting.
Roasting temperatures, which
should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum. When
roasting, it’s not necessary to
sear, baste, cover or add water
to your meat. Tender meat or
poultry can be roasted
uncovered.
Check the weight of the meat and
place it fat-side-up
the broiler pan that came with your
oven. This helps the meat to baste
itself.
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.
Most meats continue to cook
slightly while standing in the
oven or after being removed
from it.
consideration when determining
your cooking time.
To cook frozen meat roasts
without thawing, allow more
cooking time. For large roasts,
add 10 to 25 minutes per pound.
For roasts under 5 pounds, add
10
To slow down surface browning
on turkeys, you can use a 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 make
sure it’s done evenly. Some,
however, can be cooked
successfully without thawing.
Check the package

Questions and Answers
Q. When buying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even
thickness as possible or buy a
rolled roast.
Q. Can I
“tent”
seal
the sides of my foil
when roasting a turkey?
A. You shouldn’t. Sealing it will
steam the meat. Leaving the “tent”
unsealed lets air circulate and
brown the meat.
Q. Why does my roast crumble
when I try to carve it?
A.
It’s
probably too warm. Roasts
are easier to slice

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum
your broiler pan and broiler rack.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the rack and cut slits in it
just like the rack.
Without the slits, the foil will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The
juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers
Q. Why should I leave the door
closed when broiling chicken?
A. Chicken is the only food
recommended for closed-door
broiling. This is because chicken is
relatively thicker than other foods
you broil. Closing the door holds
more heat in the oven which
allows chicken to cook evenly
throughout.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary
to always use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends
the meat over the pan. As the meat
cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are
protected by the rack and stay
cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q.
Should
broiling?
A.
No,
allows
salt after cooking. Turn meat with
tongs; piercing meat with a fork
also allows juices to escape. When
broiling poultry or fish, brush each
side often with butter.
Q.
Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?
A. In some areas, the power
(voltage) to the range maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler
rack to prevent meat from
sticking?
A. No. The broiler rack is designed
to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping
the surface cool enough to prevent
meat from sticking to the surface.
However, spraying the broiler rack
lightly with a vegetable cooking
spray before cooking will make
cleanup easier.
I salt the meat before

3:
● Clean spatters or soil on the oven
front frame
edge of the oven vent, the door
liner outside the door gasket and
the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1“ into the oven). Use
detergent and hot water with a
soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue from forming when
the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.
● Clean top, sides and outside front
of oven door with soap and water.
Also, clean under the air grille (E)
above the oven with soap and
water. Do not use abrasives or
oven cleaners.
Do not let water run down through
openings in the top of the door (B).
To help prevent water from getting
in these slots when cleaning, open
the door as far as it will go.
Clean the door gasket (C) using
a clean sponge to soak the soiled
area with hydrogen peroxide.
Repeated soaking may be needed
depending on the amount of soil.
Frequent cleaning will prevent
excessive soil buildup. Do not rub
the door gasket—the fiberglass
material of the gasket has an
extremely low resistance to
abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for
energy-efficient oven operation
and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or
if it has become displaced on the
door, you should replace it.

4:
Close the oven door.
Oven shelves may be cleaned in
the self-cleaning oven. However,
they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide. Wipe
the
shelf supports with cooking oil
after self-cleaning to make shelves
slide more easily.
Do not use commercial oven
cleaners or oven protectors in
or near the self-cleaning oven.
A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean-cycle
temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers
Q. Why won’t my oven start
cleaning even though I’ve set
the controls correctly?
A. Check to be sure the display

check to be sure the oven door is
closed securely and you have
touched the START pad.
Q. Can I clean the gasket around
the oven door?
A. Yes,
with a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen
peroxide.
Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?
A. Excessive grease is the cause.
Touch the
windows and doors to rid the room
of smoke. Let the oven cool for at
least one hour before opening the
door. Wipe up excess grease and
reset the cleaning cycle.
Q. Is the “crackling” sound I
hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. Metal heating and cooling
during cooking and cleaning
functions makes this sound.
Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?
A.

with a damp sponge or cloth.
Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What’s the matter?
A. After cleaning, oven shelves
may be so clean that they will not

Q. My oven shelves became gray
after the self-clean cycle. Is this
normal?
A. Yes. And after the self-clean
cycle, they’ll lose their luster and
change to a deeper gray color.
Q.
Can I stop an
cycle after cleaning has begun?
A. Yes, but you won’t be able to
open the door until the oven cools
to below 500°F. Touch CLEAR/OFF
pad to cancel the cleaning cycle.
When “LOCKED” no longer

the door.
Q. If the inside of my oven door
is soiled, will it be cleaned during
the cleaning cycle?
A. Yes.
oven door inside the gasket will be
cleaned automatically. The area
outside the oven gasket must be
cleaned by hand as described in the
Cleaning Guide.
Q. Why would I want to set my
oven to start cleaning at a later
time of day?
A. Some utility companies offer
lower rates at times when electrical
consumption is lowest. Since these
times often occur late at night, you
can set your oven before going
to bed so cleaning is done while
you sleep.

damp cloth, then rinse with a damp
cloth and dry. Wipe the window
clean with a damp cloth. Chrome
is best wiped with a damp cloth
and then with a dry towel.
Cleaning—Inside
Keep your microwave oven clean
and sweet-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 inside fresh.
Spills and spatters are easy to
remove from walls and floor.
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

Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking a food for the first
time in your oven, use time given
on recipes 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
and you may be inclined to think
that the new oven is not performing
correctly. However, your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than
the oven it replaced.
If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this “test” should give you an idea
of how much the temperature
should be changed.
