Cooking appliancesinstalled undw theovenmight,
under some heavy usage conditions, cause temp­eratures high enough to overheat some internal
partsof the microwaveoven.

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

speedif excessivetemperatures occur. Should this
happen,the fancannot be manually turned off, but
it will automatically turn off when the internal parts
have cooled, The fan may stay on up to approxi-

mately 30 minutes after the range and microwave

Q. Are there any particular trivets
that work better than others?

A, Yes,flat glasstrivetssuchas lids
or dish coversgenerally give more
even cooking results than plastic
trivets. Also, ceramic ridge­bottomed roasting dishes usually
work well. Plastic trivets generally
require meat to be turned over

more frequently because the grid
design and legs allow the bottom
of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks,than glass trivets do.

Q. Is it necessaryto always cover
foods during Auto Roast?

A. No, but a loose covering helps

prevent spattering and hold mois-

ture in food.

Q. Why was my roast not fully
cooked eventhough the tempera­ture on the readout was correct
and Auto Roastcompleted?

A. Whencooking with Auto Roast,
the temperature probe must be
insertedproperly asfully described
intheCookbook.Afterturning meat
over or rotating, the probe should
be checked to make sure it hasn’t
slipped or changed position.

Q. Last time I used Auto Roast ‘–

I removedthe roast from the oven

to turn it over, When I replaced

roast in ovenand reconnected the
meat probe, a lower temperature

appeared,Why?
A. The oven and roast may have

cooled to below the temperature
when you removed it, w probe

may havebeenrepositioned. Con­tinue roasting and numbers will
soon count upward again.

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

Tf3vIPCOOK?
A, Yes.Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped topping$,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temp-

eratures. Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are alsodiffi­cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It Is best to TIME COOK
thesefoods.

0. After I followed the steps and
touched START,a signa!sounded

wrong?

A. Ifyou setthetemperatureeither

oven will not start. To re-enter,
touch CLEAR/OFF padand begin
stepsagain,

(2. Oven sounded and would not

A. If you havenot securely seated
the end of the probe into the

gotten to use the probe or if the
actual food temperature is higher

than set temperature, oven will
soundand not start.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the

A. No.If theprobe is left insidethe
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not Insertedin food, you maydam­agethe oven.

Q. How do I know what temperat­ure to set?

A. Your Cookbook contains sec­tions on all typesof food$showing

Cook CodeTUControl is a short-cut method for en­tering time andthe PowerLevelon your microwave
oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes
which needlittle or no attention, and which require
no change of power levelduring cooking. Recipes
which require additional ingredients, attention or
change of power levelduring microwaving should

be cooked in the usual manner.Also, recipes with
cooking time of lessthan one minute or more than
99minutes can not useCooking Codes.

To understandthe Cook Code control, it is impor­tant to know what the numbers mean and what the
sequenceis. The first and second numbers, if set­ting a 3digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of
time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means
12minutes at Power Level5. NC)TE:Youroven can

only be programmedto 99minutes when using the
Cook Code control and the highest Power Levelis

10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a

2digit Cook Code’control entry, the first istime, the
second is power level. For example, 50 means
5 minutes at Power level 10.

On the following page is shown many frequently

prepared foods and their codes. It’s easy,though,
to make Cooking Codes for many other recipes.
Justselectoneor two digits representingthe length
of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the

PowerLevelrequired.The Cooking Codesgivenon
thechart arefor the minimum time needed,toavoid
overcooking which can dry out food and make it
tastelessandtough. Ifyoufeelthat morecooking is
needed,add additional time by changing the first
digit of the Code. Youcannot add secondsto the
cycle time—Cooking Codes are for whole minutes
only. Ifyour recipecalls for PowerLevelchangesor
different amountsof time neededbetweenaddition
of ingredients, you may setone Cooking Code for
thefirst part of therecipe,then aftercompletion, set
another Cooking Code for that period of time and
PowerLevel.

Remembet that Cooking Codes are for micro­waving by time only. If you are microwaving by
temperature,you must usethe TempCook or Auto
Roastfunction.

The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity
heating and reheating in your Spacemaker’”microwaveoven.Now heat­ing and reheating, which are the mostpopular usesof microwaveovens,
may now be done in multiple quantities, so several foods are ready to
serveat the sametime.

When microwaving with the ovenshelf, sometechniques will differ from

thecookbook which camewith youroven.It isimportant to arrangefoods

properly, and this is shown on the next page. Utensil size is important;
selectfrom among thesuggestions below.Also, food sizeshould becon­sidered;foods over3%inches high,or3 poundsarenot recommendedfor
shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also foods for oven meals using scratch

recipes should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook
directions.

Use potholders when handling
foods heated together with your
ovenshelf,especiallywhenheating
larger amounts of food in 8 inch
squareor other 2quart sizecasse­roles. Extrasteamgeneratedfrom
multiple food cooking may make

Typesof FoodsTog&!ww

\

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 placedon thefloor, This
is because microwave energy
enters the oven from the top only.
Also, it is important to remember
that foods absorb microwave

energy atdifferent rates.Ratescan

beaffected by the sizeof the food,

and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates you

mayneed tostart reheatinga large
or densefood afew minutesahead
of time, then add other smaller or

less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the several foods you are
heating seems under cooked 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 together times
for all foods. (see heating guide

inside front cover of cookbook)
After half of time, stir or rearrange
foods (do not reverse positions),
Check foods (top shelf especially)
after Y4of total time and remove
any which are done, Continue
