Cooking appliances installed under the oven might, 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 exhaust 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 automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes

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 frozen dinners. 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 1O-OZ. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

N~E:

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.
