Questiom

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 cooking recipes give you a time

range to prevent overcooking. Set

the oven for 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

touched START, however, my

oven didn’t come on. Why not? A. The TIME COOK I

orII

pad

must be touched before setting the

number pads or else your oven will not begin cooking.

Q. I want

tocookon

a power

level other than High. What do I

need to do? A. To change the power level,

touch the POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

Q. Can I interrupt Time Cook to check the food?

A. Yes. To resume cooking,

simply close the door and press

the START pad. The timer must be

reset for cooking to resume unless

time is remaining on timer.

Defrosting by

~me

Time Defrost is designed

for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages

of a microwave oven. Use Time Defrost to quickly

thaw foods such as bread, rolls,

vegetables,

fruik

and frozen dinners. Auto Defrost is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven

sefi

power levels for you.

●

Power level 3 is automatically set

for defrosting, but you may change

this for more flexibility.

●

See your cookbook for defrosting

help. To become better acquainted with

Time Defrost, defrost a 1O-OZ. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

Step 1:

Place package of frozen

strawberries in the oven and close

door. Be sure package contains

no metal.

Defrosting

~ps

● 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. If the food is in a foil

container, transfer it to a microwave

safe dish.

● Check your cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear

a dull thumping noise. What is it? A. This sound is normal. It is

letting you know the oven is using a

power

level

lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in

a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more

frequent attention than usual. Raise

the power level after entering the

time by touching the desired power

level pad. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time about in 1/2; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to approximately 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting

times in the cookbook seem right

for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer.

Set your oven for the time indicated

in your cookbook. If your food is

still not completely thawed at the

end of that time, reset your oven

and adjust the time accordingly.

Q. Should

all

foods be completely thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking.

For example, fish cooks so

quic~y

it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during

Time Defrost to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes.

You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. If not. reset timer.

How to Change Power

bvel

After setting defrosting time, touch POWER LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level.

Page 10

Cooking by Temperature

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the guesswork out of cooking because the oven automatically switches to Hold setting after reaching the preset food temperature and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

The Temperature Probe

CLIP

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using Temp Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To utilize your probe properly, follow directions for use and insertion in this book in the Automatic Roasting section.

Howto Temp Cook a Rolled

Beef Rib Roast to Medium

Step 1:

Insert temperature probe and attach probe securely in oven wall. Close the door.

Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK/ HOLD. The display panel shows

“F” and “POWER

10~’

“ENTER

TEMP” flashes.

Step 3: Touch 1,2,5 for

125°F.

“TEMP COOK” flashes. “125F”

and “POWER 10” show on display. Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL

pad. “ENTER POWER” flashes. Touch 5 for medium power.

“TEMP

COOK:’

“125F” and

“POWER 5“ show on display.

Step

5: Touch START. If internal temperature of the roast is less than 90°F., display will show “COOL” or if temperature is 90°F. or above, display shows temperature counting up.

Step 6: When

125°F.

is reached, the oven will sound and display “HOLD”. The oven will then hold the temperature.

Step

7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF

pad to stop the cycle.

Step 8:

Remove probe and food

from the oven.

Cooking Tips

●

Use a lower power level; it will heat more evenly even though requiring more time.

●

Be sure frozen food has been completely defrosted before inserting probe. Probe may break off if used in frozen foods.

●

Use the clip to keep the probe in

place while heating.

● Cover foods loosely for moisture

control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. After I followed the steps and touched the START pad, “ERROR” flashed in the display and a signal sounded. What’s wrong?

A. “ERROR” flashes if you set

the temperature either below 90°F. or above

199°F.

The oven tells you,

between the flashing of

“ERRORJ’

what incorrect entry was made. To

re-enter,

touch CLEAR/OFF pad

and begin again. Q.

Are there any foods I can’t

Temp Cook? A. Yes.

Delicate butter icings, ice cream, frozen whipped toppings, etc. soften rapidly at warm

temperatures. Batters, doughs and frozen foods are also difficult to cook precisely with the probe. It’s best to time cook these foods.

Q. Why did “PROBE” flash on

the display after I touched the

START pad? A. “PROBE” will flash if you

don’t seat the cable end of the probe securely into the receptacle in the

oven wall or if you touch the TEMP

COOK/HOLD pad and forget to use the probe.

Can I leave my probe in the

oven if it’s not inserted in food? A. No,

if it touches the oven wall,

you may damage the oven.

Can I Temp Cook different portions of food at different temperatures?

A. Yes.

The temperature probe gives you the freedom to cook different portions of food at different temperatures to suit individual eating styles. Simply place probe in food and change temperature setting as needed.

Questions and Answers

Q. What

will

happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cook instructions?

The oven will automatically rearrange your program. Defrosting will always come first, then hold, and then the cooking function.

Can I defrost and hold 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 Time Defrost and amount of time. Then program a holding time (example in steps 4 and 5 at left). Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Let foods remain at room temperature only as long as safe. Times will vary.

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/Time for 2 minutes, and then Defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would Defrost for 6 minutes and Hold/Time for 2 minutes.

Automatic Defrosting

With the Auto Defrost feature, the oven automatically sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.

You choose the appropriate code number from 1 to 6 for the food you are defrosting, then enter

the

weight in pounds and tenths of a pound (See Conversion Guide below) and touch START. The oven calculates the defrosting time and changes power levels during defrosting to give even defrosting results.

When the oven reaches approximately half of the total defrosting time, the display flashes

“TURN:’ telling

you to turn food over and will not continue defrosting until door is opened and START is touched again.

After defrosting time is complete, the oven automatically goes into a holding period as shown on the Automatic Defrosting Guide on this page. This holding period is necessary to finish the defrosting of the interior of the food.

How to Set Auto Defrost

N~E:

Before you begin, check the Auto Defrost code guide located at the bottom of the oven when you open the door. This guide shows minimum and maximum food weights for each code number. You will need to know your food weight and corresponding code before beginning.

Guide to Use of the Oven Shelf

Cookware for Shelf

Do not store or cook with metal

shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

●

Use potholders when handling

metal shelf and cookware. They may be hot.

Do not store or use microwave

browning dish on metal

shelf.

The two position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in

your Spacemaker” microwave oven.

More than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at

the same time. When microwaving with the oven

shelf, some techniques will differ from the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly, and this is shown on the next page. Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food size should be considered; foods

over 3

inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

(

Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will

fit

together

on or under the shelf. Also, be sure

cookware is microwave safe.

Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup, 8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5

x3-

inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls or divided plates.

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8-inch square or other 2-quart size casseroles. Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make cookware hotter than with

regular microwaving.

Use

wax paper or plastic wrap

instead of lids on casseroles. Lids

may add too much height to dish.

How to Heat or Reheat

Similar~pes

of Food

Two plates of leftovers

maybe reheated together. Arrange thick or dense foods to outside edges of

plate and cover with plastic wrap.

Microwave at High (10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn.

Continue microwaving at High (10)

for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue

heating, if necessary, until hot.

Reheating two casseroles

(height

should be less than 3

inches) is

possible. Cover with plastic wrap.

Use staggered arrangements of food, placing food on right side of shelf and left side of floor. Refer to Heating or Reheating Guide in cookbook for suggested microwave time per casserole and add the times together. Microwave at High (10) reversing position of foods (top to bottom) after half of time. Also, heat several small bowls of leftovers this way, stirring and reversing positions after half of time.

How to Reheat Several Different

~pes

of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to

start

reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the

underheated

food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High (10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. (See heating guide in cookbook. ) After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (top

shelf especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Two frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz.

~ch)

or two TV

dinnem

(10 to U oz. each)

are both ready to

serve at the same time. Remove trays of food from their boxes and turn back one corner of the plastic cover to vent. If there are any foil covers, remove them and return the trays of food to their boxes. (Batter foods should be removed from the trays and cooked conventionally. ) Place in oven with one TV dinner on right shelf and the second dinner on left floor. Microwave at High (10) for 7 minutes. Reverse positions (top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn. Continue microwaving at High (10) for 7 minutes. Check

dinners for heating. If one dinner

seems less done than desired, return it to the box and continue

heating on shelf 1 to 2 more minutes.

Place on shelf large or dense foods

which need the most heating,

such as leftover fried chicken,

casseroles of canned or leftover

vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on oven floor those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
