● During baking, avoid frequent

door openings. Keep door open as short a time as possible if it is opened.

● For self-cleaning oven, be sure to

wipe up excess spillage before self-cleaning operation.

● 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 amount of time,

● Use residual heat in oven

whenever possible to finish cooking casseroles, oven meals, etc. You may also add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven, using residual heat to warm them.

How to Use the Hold

The Hold Timer has three timing functions:

. It operates as a minute timer.

● It can be set to delay cooking.

● It can be used as a hold setting

after defrosting.

The Hold Timer operates without

microwave energy.

How to Time a 3-Minute Phone Call

1. Touch the HOLD TIMER pad.

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

3. Touch the START pad. Display shows time counting down.

4. When time is up, oven signals and display flashes “End.”

Using a Holding Time

The Hold Timer can also be used to

program a “holding time” between

microwave cooking functions, time can range from one second to 99 minutes and 99 seconds.

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.

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

10” appears on the display. Enter new power level on the number pads and then touch the START pad.

Q. Can I interrupt my Time

Time Bake in Your Lower Oven

How

to Time Bake

Your oven can be set to turn on and off automatically. However, foods will continue to cook when

left

in the oven because the

temperature is reduced to “hold”

(15001’.). That’s why you should

not

use the Cook Time or Stop Time feature when timing is critical unless you’ll be on hand to take foods out of the oven when they’re done.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why aren’t my foods done even though they’ve cooked the

full time? A. You may have opened the oven

door too often during cooking.

Follow the suggested baking tips to avoid this problem in the future.

Q. If the display doesn’t show the correct time of day, may I use Cook Time and Stop Time?

A. Yes, but to start and stop at the time you wish to serve your meal, you should reset the clock to the correct time. Do it before you enter Cook Time and Stop Time.

Q. How do I bake at high

altitudes? A. You’ll have to change the

temperature and time of cooking as well as alter your measurements. For best results and further information, check your cookbook or county extension

home economist. Q. How do I use the automatic

oven timer if I want to begin cooking immediately but want the oven to shut off gone?

A. Touch BAKE pad and enter the

desired oven temperature by touching the INCREASE or DECREASE pad. Then touch the COOK TIME pad and enter the amount of time you want the oven to cook. Touch START pad to begin cooking. Remember the oven will enter the Hold feature at the end of Cook Time. See the Hold Feature section.

Note: Food will continue to cook if left in a hot oven.

Q. Are there certain foods that

are not recommended for Time Bake?

A. 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 after defrosting.

Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

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

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 specific directions.

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.

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.

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

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.

Step

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.

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?

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.

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.

Cleaning—Outside

Clean

the outside of your microwave oven with soap and a 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 OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE

OVEN. Wipe up spatters on the window

on the inside of the door daily.

Wash window, when it’s soiled, with a minimum of sudsy, warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the door frequently.

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
