Cook foods the best way. Cook by time or by temper­ature. Your oven letsyou tailor the way you cook to the
food. Use your CountersaverTMMicrowave Oven Cook-
ing Guide & Recipe Book to help you select which kind
of cooking to use.

Fast, familiar cooking by time. You’ll find most of your

microwave mealswill be cooked by time. Useitfor all it’s
worth with most casseroles, vegetables, appetizers,
snacks and small, individual foods like potatoes, hot
dogs, hamburgers and meatballs It’s also great for pie
crusts, desserts likebaked fruit, puddings and candies.

Use temperature cooking when you can’t afford
guesswork. The solid-state microwave thermometer

tells you the internal temperature of food...a reassuring
way to cook roast, ham and other foods that need a
specific temperature for the right doneness.

Enjoya world of new recipe ideas. Useyour Counter-
saverTMMicrowaveOven Cooking Guide& RecipeBook,

included with your oven, for all it’s worth! It tells you
everything you need to know about using your oven
properly . . . and having lots of success using it! Thirty­eight Micro-lessons take you step-by-step through all
the basics.And the over 400 recipes and 52 charts are
sureto keepmealtimes interesting.

—

1. For personal safety, the oven must be properly

grounded. See grounding instructionson page3. For

best operation, plug this appliance into itsown circuit to
prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.

2. Use of extension cords is strictly prohibited be­cause amount of current is prohibitive for connecting the
extension cord.

3. Do not use adapter plugs since this will defeat the
proper grounding of the appliance and might result in
severe or fatal shock hazard.

4, Cooking utensils may become hot because ofheat
transferred from the heated food. Thisisespeciallytrue if

plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of
the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the
utensil.

5, Sometimes the oven shelf can become too hot to
touch. Be careful when touching the shelfafter cooking

6. Don’theat unopened food containers in the oven.
Pressure, building up, can cause the containerto burst,
resultingin injury.

7. Don’t defrost frozen liquids-especiallycarbonated
ones in narrow necked containers. Evenif the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resulting in injury.

8. Don’t overcook food excessively. Food dries out
and can even ignite in some cases.

9. Iffood shou!dever ignite: Keeptheovendoor clos-
ed. Turn off the power immediately. Turntimer to OFF
or disconnect power cord or shut off power at the fuse
circuit breaker panel.

10, Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using it. Otherwise, it can create electrical
arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

11. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags
when placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes cause bag
to heat and may cause fire.,

12. Microwaving eggs in shells and shelled boiled
eggs is not recommended. They can burst and cause

injury.

13.DOnot pop popcorn in your microwave oven un­less in a special microwave popcorn accessory or un

less you use popcorn in a package labeled for micro­wave ovens. Because of the heat generated, without
these precautions, the container could catch fire.

14. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roastsare helpful incooking food
when used as directed. Metal trays may be used for TV
dinners. However, when using metal in the microwave
oven, keep metal at least l-inch away from sides of

microwave oven.

15. 130n’toperatethe oven whileempty inorder to pro-
long the iife of the oven and saveenergy. If,by accident,

the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is
done.

16. Do notstoreflarnmabie materials inanoven. Also,

do not use flammable fluids inthe vicinity of your oven.

Reheating is a snap when you temperature cook with
your automatic probe. You can cook unusual shapes,
sizesand amountsoffood withoutthe riskofovercooking.

Vegetables are just wonderful when you microwave.
Freshor frozen vegetables have freshflavorandtexture.

THE HOOD:

1. Have it installed and properly grounded by a qual­ified installer. See the special installation booklet

packed with the microwave oven.

2. Caution is required to prevent the starting and

spreading of accidental cooking fireswhile the vent
fan is in use.

A. Never leave surface units unattended at high

heatsettings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite and spread if vent fan is
operating. Use surface unit heat settings recom-

mended by the manufacturer and adequate sized
utensils.

B. [n the event of a grease fire, smother flaming
pan on surface unit by covering pan completely
with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

C. Never flame foods under the oven with the vent
fanoperating because it may spread the flames.

D. Keep hood and grease filters clean, according
to instructions on pages 13 and 14, to maintain
good venting and avoid grease fires.

-rnMECX3NTROL

Your microwave oven hasa circular timer that can bero­tated manually. The timer indicator moves towards “O”
only when the oven iscooking or defrosting with micro­wave energy.

When the timer reaches “O” a bell will sound to tell you
that cooking is completed and the power, the indicator
light, interior light and fan are shut off automatically.

Remember, if you open the door before the timer reach-

es “O”, cooking or defrosting will stop. When you close
the door and press START,cooking starts again where
you left off.

SWITCH

To cook by Time, turn to the left, set timer. To cook by ~
Temperature, turn to the right and set temperature dial.

CXNWROL

Insert temperature probe into food and place into
oven. Insert cable end into receptacle on oven wall. If \
oven will not start when START is pushed, recheck to
make sure the probe is securely attached.

Dial the finished temperature following the recipe di­rections. NOTE: If the actual temperature of the food
in the oven is higher than the temperature you dial,

the oven will not start. Check temperature again to

make sure you’ve set the dial correctly. If not, reset. if

so, the food in the oven has already reached the de­sired finished temperature and no more heating is
needed.

When preset internal temperature is reached, oven
automatically turns off to signal that cooking has
stopped. Remove the cable end of the probe from re­ceptacle, take food and probe out together.

NOTE: The actual temperature of the food during
cooking may be determined by turning the TEMP
CONTROL dial to a lower setting until the oven turns
off. (Before’ restarting, open and close oven door to
reset control)

MULTI-POWER

Your new microwaveoven has three power settings for
you to choose from. Always check with your Counter-

saverTMMicrowave Oven Cooking Guide& RecipeBook

to find out which power level is recommended for the
foodyou’re cooking.

Low Power isused for defrosting foods, delicate foods
and ones that take longer, slower cooking. It usesabout

50Y0of the oven power.

Medium Power uses about 70fx0of the oven power; it is
the power levelyou’ll usefor ease inheating and cooking
foods requiring extra attention at High Power.

High Power is full or 100% power. You’ll use it for fast

cooking and for foods whichtolerateheatandspeedwell.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

Cooking appliances installed under the oven might,

..

i

under some heavy usage conditions, cause temper­atures high enough to overheat some internal parts
of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the vent
fan is designed to automatically turn on at low speed

if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen,
the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will auto-

matically turn off when the temperature is reduced.
The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes

after the range and microwave oven controls have

been turned off.

How

Time cooking isthe most familiar to you already. Thedif-

ference is, with a microwave oven, you preset the time
and the oven turns off automatically.

You’ll use Time Cook for simple jobs, like reheating, for
delicate foods, vegetables or baked potatoes.

Many Time Cook recipes give you a time range in min-

utes. If you set the oven to stop when it’stime to stiror
turn, the oven signals that food needs attention. Setthe
oven for the minimum time, checkand continue cooking,

if necessary.

HOW TO TIME COCK A

PLATE OF LEFTOVERS

-.-.

1. Place plate of food in oven.Oven
interior light comes on automatically
when door isopen. Closeoven door;
it latches automatically. Plateshould
be covered with wax paperor plastic

wrap for more moisture.

..

2. Select Power Level Seerecipes
for suggested power levelsforfoods.
Set at High for a plate of leftovers.

3. Select Time/Temp setting. Set
switch to Time by turning the

~ime/Temp switch to the left.

4. Settime control for first halfof
cooking time. Rotate the circular
timer to 1

V2 minutes for a plate of

leftovers. Check it after thistime and
if it needs more, resetthe timer.

5. Push START. Whenoven iscook­ing, interiorlightcomeson,afanstarts

.-. . .....———.——--——-——

You’ll find Temperature Cooking to be the most accu-

rate. Useit for cooking meatloaf, roasts and other foods

wherethe internal temperature is the besttest of ‘‘done-

ness”. TemperatureCooking takes the guessworkout of
cooking becausethe oven shuts off automatically when
the food reachesthe presettemperature. Look for Basic
Meatloaf in the Ground Beef section of your Cmmter-
