It lists causes of minor operating
problems that you can correct yourself.

All these things are normal
with your microwave oven.

● Steam or vapor escaping from

in blower sound may occur while
operating at power levels other
than high.

Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all cookware used in

your microwave oven is suitable
for microwaving. Most glass

casseroles, cooking dishes,
measuring cups, custard cups,
pottery or china dinnerware which
does not have metallic trim or glaze
with a metallic sheen can be used.

Some cookware is labeled “suitable

for microwaving.”

If you are not sure if a dish is
microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish you
are testing and a glass measuring
cup filled with one cup water—set
the measuring cup either in or next
to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at
high. If the dish heats, it should not
be used for microwaving. If the dish

remains cool and only the water in
the cup heats, then the dish is

microwave-safe.

c Paper towels, wax paper and

plastic wrap can be used to cover

dishes in order to retain moisture

and prevent spattering. Be sure to

vent plastic wrap so steam can

escape.

● Some microwaved foods

require stirring, rotating or

rearranging. Check the cookbook.

● Steam builds up pressure in

foods which are tightly covered
by a skin or membrane. Pierce

potatoes, egg yolks and chicken
livers to prevent bursting.

Your Touch Control Panel

The Touch Control Panel allows you to set the oven
controls electronically with the touch of a finger. It’s

designed to be easy to use and understand.

recurs, and you must reset Clock after touching the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

Cook/Hold function is being used.
s Probe is not securely seated in oven wall receptacle.

1. DISPLAY. Displays time of day, time or temperature

during cooking functions, power level being used,
cooking mode and instructions.

of time using automatic power level 10. (If desired, you
may change power level after entering cooking time. See
page 10.)

level 3 (Low). (If desired, you may change power level

cooking which automatically turns oven off after 3
minutes. (See page 10.)

to start the oven.

15. LIGHT. Touch ON to illuminate counter.

AUTOMATIC FN FEATURE

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may,
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 a 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 after the range
and microwave oven controls have been turned off.
