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 or II pad

must be touched before setting 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

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, fruits and leftovers. Auto Defrost is preferred for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and 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

10-oz.

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 quickly 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.

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

HANDLE

CABLE

END

SENSOR

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.

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

“ERROR;’

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. Q.

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.

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/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 Roasting

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to the desired serving temperature. Unlike

Temp

Cook/Hold, which uses a

single power level, Auto Roast

up to 3 power settings which automatically switch during roasting, thus providing even, tender cooking resulh without overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time, according to the cookbook which comes with your oven.

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 food 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

Care and Cleaning

Your new microwave oven is a valuable appliance. Protect it from misuse by following these rules:

● Keep your oven clean and

sweet-smelling.

Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air-out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.

● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils

with your oven.

The inside and outside oven walls can be scratched. The control panel can be damaged.

Don’t remove the mode stirrer

cover

at the top of the oven (microwave feature 6 on page 5). You will damage the oven.

BE CERTAIN POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THIS OVEN.

How to Clean the Inside

Walls, floor and mode stirrer cover.

Some spatters can be

removed with a paper towel, others may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a

sudsy cloth,

then rinse with a damp cloth. Do not

use abrasive cleaners on oven walls.

NEVER USE A COMMERCIAL

OVEN CLEANER ON ANY PART

OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Door (inside).

Window: Wipe up

spatters

daily

and wash when soiled with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Metal and plastic parts on door: Wipe frequently with a damp cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY WILL MAR THE SURFACE.

Special note when using Brown ‘N Sear Dish:

If grease is present, high heat generated on bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish may cause the grease to burn onto the oven floor. This may be removed with a cleanser such as Bon

Ami@

brand cleanser. After using this cleanser, 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.

Automatic Temperature Probe.

Probe is sturdy, but care should be taken in handling. Do not twist or bend; avoid dropping temperature probe.

Clean as soon

after

using as possible. To clean, wipe with sudsy cloth, then rub lightly with plastic scouring ball if necessary. Rinse and dry.

(Or wash in dishwasher.)

Shelf Accessory.

Your shelf accessory is designed for use in a

microwave oven only; do not use in a conventional oven. Do not use a

Clean

off the grease and dust

on hood surfaces often. Use a

warm detergent solution. About

1 tablespoon of ammonia maybe

added to the water. Take care not

to touch the filters and enameled

surfaces with this. Ammonia will

tend to darken metal.

CHARCOAL FILTER

REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS

Your microwave oven has two reusable metal filters to help remove grease from the air and a disposable charcoal

filter to help

remove smoke and odors caused by

cooking with your range. When the

fan is operated, air is drawn up through the filters and then recirculated.

The grease filters should be cleaned at

least

once a month.

Never operate

your hood without the filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below hood, filter will retard entry of flames into the unit.

The disposable charcoal filter should be replaced when it is noticeably dirty or discolored (usually after 6 to 12 months, depending on hood usage). Order Part No.

from the cookbook which came

with your oven. It is important to

arrange foods properly, and this is

shown on the next page. Cookware

Heating and Reheating

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

WN 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,

9x5x3-

inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

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.

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

regular microwaving.

Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.

To insert shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides

onto

the support guides located on each side of rear oven wall.

Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit

onto

the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.

When properly positioned, the

shelf should fit snugly in place.

Shelf has two positions. Use in low position when heating two casseroles or reheating frozen TV dinners or entrees.

The high shelf position more evenly spaces the area above and below the shelf. Use this position

for heating

plates

of leftovers.

When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly in place, be level and not touch the back wall of the oven.

If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned securely on all four shelf

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.

frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz. each) or two

dinners (10 to ~ 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.
