IMPORTAHT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safety Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to

such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a

very small amount of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting

with an open window or using aventilation fan or hood.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS
INFORMATION NOW!

Should you ever need it, you will not have time for

reading.
Never use water on a grease fire--it will only
spread the flames,

1, Close oven door and turn controls off.

2. IF FiRE CONTINUES, THROW BAKING SODA ON THE
FiRE OR USE A DRY CHEMICAL FOAM, OR HALON
TYPE EXTINGUISHER.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POS-

SIBLIE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY

DO NOT ATTEMPT to operate this oven with the door

open since open door operation can result in harmlui
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to
defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

DO NOT PLACE any object between the oven front face
and the door orallow soilorcleaner residue to accumulate

on sealing surfacesr

DO NOT OPERATE the oven if it Is damaged. It is

particularly important that t he oven door close properly,

and that there is no damage to the door, hinges and
latches (broken or loosened), and door seals and sealing

surfaces.

THE OVEN SHOULD NOT be adjusted or repaired by

anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN
THE MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY:

Do not overtook food. Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic, orothercombustible materials are placed
in the oven to facilitate cooking_

Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bags in oven.
Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers or

other ttems.

Paper towels, napkins, wax paper and other recycle

paper products can contain metal flecks which mE

cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylc

or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may al_

ignite.
De nell pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless i

a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless yo

use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens°
Do not overcook potatoes_ They could dehydrat_

catch fire and damage your oven.
Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damag,

to the oven and the dangerof fire. if by accident the over
should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done
However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at at

times_it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

If materials inside oven{s) should ignite, keel"

oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect th_

power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circui
breaker panel.

Some products, such as eggs and sealec
containers--for example, closed glass jars--ma_
explode and should not be heated in this oven.

See door surface cleaning instructions in this manual.
Do no! defrost beverages_especia]ly carbonated

ones_in narrow necked bottles. Even if the container i_
opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container tO burst, resulting in injury.

Use metal enly as directed in cookbook, Felt

strips used on meat roasts are helpful when used as
shown In cookbookr

TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than
3/4" high; remove top foil cover and return tray to box.
When using metal in microwave oven, keep metal (except
microwave oven shelf) at least 1" away from sides of
oven.

Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be
needed to handle the utensil.

Sometimes the oven floor can become too hot to
touch. Be careful touching the floor during and after
cooking.

Foods cooked In liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil

over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture°

Should this occur refer to the cleaning section of this
manual.

Do not use athermometer in food you are microwaving
unless the thermometer is designed or recommended
for use in the microwave oven.

Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not

resulting In injury.

FOODS WITH UNBROKEN OUTER "SKIN" such as
potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks (see pi'evious caution)

should be pierced to a_!ow steam to escape rJuring
cooking.

PLASTIC UTENSILS designed for microwave cooking

are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even
mIcrowave plastic may not be astolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may

so_t_n or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooktng, the
food and utensils could Ignite, For these reasons:

1) Use microwave plastics only and use them In strict
compliance with the utensil manufacturer's

recommendations,

2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving.

3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.

"BOILABLE"cooking pouches andtightlyctosedplastic

b_gs should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in

cookbook. Ifthey are not, plastic could burst during or

immediately after cooking, posslbly resulting in injury.

AlSo, plastic storage containers should be at least
partially uncovered because they form a tight seal.
When cooking wit h containers tightly covered wtth plastic
wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away
from hands and face.

TEMPERATURE COOKING

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 until

you open the door or touch CLEAR/OFF.

TEMPERATURE; P_OBE

The temperature probe Isa food thermometer that gauges
the tnternaltemperature of your food. The probe must be

used when using TEMP COOK/HOLD or AUTO ROAST

TO SET TEMP/CGOK

1. Insert probe Into food and seat cable end of probe
securely Into receptacle tn oven walt. Close door_

2. Press TEMP COOK/HOLD_ F(Fahrenheit) In display.
ENTER TEMP will flash In display, See your cookbook
for desired temperature,

3. Press number pads to enter desired temperature°

4. Press POWER CONTROL.

5. Press number pads to enter power level

6. Press START. It Internal temperature of the food is
less than 80°F, the display will show "COOL". if

temperature Is 80°F or above, display will show

temperature counting up.

7. When set temperature ls reached, the oven will

sound and display will show "HOLD". The oven will
then hold the temperature°

8. Press CLEAR/OFF to stop the cycle°

If you fall to use the probe and try to set TEMP/COOK,
display will flash "PROBE"°

9. Remove probe and food from oven.

COOKING TIPS

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

• Be sure frozen food Is completely defrosted before
inserting probe° Probe may break off if it is used in
frozen foods.

i

Cover foods loosely for moisture control and quick
even heatlng_

Dellcate butter ictngs, ice cream, froz_.n toppings,
etc,, soften rapidly at warm temperatures. Batters,
doughs, and frozen foods are also difficult to cook
with the probe. It is best to TIME COOK these foods.

"PROBE" will flash if you do not seat the cable end of
the probe securely into the receptacle In the oven
wall or If you touch AUTO ROAST and forget to use
the probe°

DO NOT leave the probe in the oven if it Is not Inserted

in food or you may damage the oven,

You can set a minimum temperature of 80°F and
maximum temperature of 199°F_

AUTO ROAST

AUTO ROAST uses the temperature probe to cook to the
desired serving temperature. Auto Roast uses up to 3
power settings which automatically switch during

roasting, providing tender, even cooking results without
overcooklng.

Just as in conventional roasting, only tender roasts
should be Auto Roasted until specified Internal

temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should
be mlcrowaved by time, according to your recipe.

PREPARE THE ROAST

Place tender beef roast on rack In microwave safe dish.
Insert probe horizontally lnto the center meaty area, not

touching bone or faL Make sure the handle does not

touch the food or sides of the oven. Cover with wax

paper. Pork or ham roasts need no trivet, Add 1t2 cup
water to roast dish; cover with plastic wrap. Allow room
for probe when covering. Place meat in oven with probe

to the rtghL Insert cable end of probe firmly into the

receptacle on oven wall,

Why does my oven cut off after the Auto cycle when
using Auto Cook Code I when it does not alter other

settings?
When using Code 1, there is no second phase of

minutes counting down. Cooking is completed in
first phase oi cooking.

If food is not completely cooked after usin_
suggested code, what should I do?

Use Time Cook and power leve! 10 for -3few tonsures

to complete cooking.

Do all fresh or frozen vegetables require a standing

period after cooking with Auto Cook?

Most vegetables are cooked to a crisp state during

Auto Cook. It is recommended that you let the
vegetables stand for up to 5 mtnutas depending on
slze and density of pieces. The standing tlme also
enhances the overall flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.

What If I don't fully cover the dish In Auto Cook?
Oven senses steam too quickly, shortens thecooking

time and undercooks food. Cover tightly and reset

Auto Cook..
Do the shapes and sizes of foods make a difference

when using Auto Cook?
Add water to the vegetables as recommended on

guide and cover well for even, complete cooking.

YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN SHELF

iMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATmON

o DO HOT STORE OR COOK with

shelf on floor of oven. Product

damage may result,

• Use potholders when handEing

metal shelf and utensils. THEY
MAY BE HOT,

o DO HOT store microwave

browning dish on metal she]If.

• Use of shelf with Automatic

Cooking is not recommended.

The wire shelf is designed for added capacity heating
and reheating Inyour 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, it Is important

to arrange foods properly. Cookware size is important.
Be sure dishes will fit together on or under the shelf.
Food size should be considered; foods over 4 Inches
high or 3 1/2 Ibs., 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 recipe

directions°

Use potholders when handling foods heated together

with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger

amounts of food. Extra steam generated from multiple

food cooking may make cookware hotter than with

regular mtcrowavtng..

POSiT|ONING THE $HII_LF

To position the microwave oven shelf, tip the back

slightly and fit the shelf support guldes ontothe support

guides located on each side of the oven in the rear.

Tips for Reheating Similar Foods

Two plates of leftovers --- Arrange thick or dense
foods to outside edges of plate and cover with plastic
wrap. Stagger plates with one on shelf and one on
oven floor. Microwave for 2-3 minutes on HIGH (10)
and reverse position of plates (top to bottom) and
rotate 1/2 turn. Continue heating until hot.

Two casseroles -- Cover with plastic wrap. Use
staggered arrangements of food. Place food on right
side of shelf and left side of floor. Microwave and

reverse positions of food after 1/2 of tlme_ Also, heat

small bowls of leftovers this way, stirring and

reversing positions after half of tlmeo

Two frozen entrees (5-7 ozoeach) or two W dinners--

Follow package directions. If there are foil covers,
remove them. Place one "IVdinner on right snell and

second dinner on left floor. Microwave and reverse
positions (top and bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn.

Continue mlcrowavlng as directed until foods are

done.

Tips for Reheating Different Types of

Food

When heating different types of food together, foods

which should be served hot must be placed on the oven
floor, while foods which are only warmed should be
placed on the shelf. Microwave energy enters the oven
from the bottom only. It Is important to remember that
foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. You
may need to start heating large or dense food a few

minutes ahead of smaller or less dense foods. Stagger
and rotate foods as described above.

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, be level and not touch the back wall of the oven.

If _rcing occurs when using the shelf to cook

more fhan one food at the same timej turn the
oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned right
side up on all four shelf supports and not touching

oven walls.

When coektng a food for the first time tn your new
oven, use time g!ven on reclpes as a gtdde,

Your new oven has been set correcly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate than the o_e_ it
replaced.

After you have used your ov_n for awhile, if you feel

your oven should be holer or cooler, you can adjust

it yourself. See T_E_Oz3T,_,7,5.DJL_$T_,'_._NTS
In this manual.

• Always fofow recipe cat'efuly.

• Measure Ingredients properly.
Use proper pan placement,

Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to t 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.

Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. Im-

proper air movement causes uneven browning and

cooking.

o Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads shou!d

be baked In shiny pans -- to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pin crusts should be baked in
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans --to absorb the heat

because they should have a brown, crisp cnJst.

Be su_'e the ut_derside of the pan is shiny, too,.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.

2 cake layers

4 cake layers

When baking several items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly abo,_e another.

Let lhe oven p_eheat Ihoroughiy before coo_ing
baked products. Listen for preheat notitication tone
and put the food in the oven.

Opening the door too o!en to check iood duri)_
baking will attow heat toss and may cause poor
baking results,

Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures If exterio r of pan
Is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.

There may be some ode rwhen the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and

insulation.

Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking

results, Do NOtplace any foil directly above the bake

element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the

etement may damage the oven surface; therefore, it
should not be used°

Broiling

TO SET BROIL

1. Press BROIL. "HI" and "BROIL" appear In display,

2, Press BROIL again to set LO broil, You can alternate

between HI(550°F) and LO(450°F) by pressing

BROIL.

3, Press START,

4. Press CLEAR/OFF when broiling is complete.

Most foods can be broiled at the HI broil setting

Select the LO Broil setting to avoid excessive
browning or drying of foods that should be cooked
to the well-done stage (such as thick pork chops or
poultry),

BROILING TIPS

• YourlowerovendoorshouldbeopentotheBROIL
STOP position while broiling.

Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with
your range for broiling° They are designed for
proper drainage of fat and liquids and hetp prevent
spatter, smoke or fire.

. Do not prehea_ when broiling. Preheating may

cause the thermostat to cycle the broil element oft
al_d on, For even broiling on both sides, start the

food on a cold pan°
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops°

Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.

• For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just be-
fore turning the meal Salt the second side just
before serving,

, Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as

they broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down, It is
not necessary to turn fish,

Never leave a soiled broiler pan in the range.

Grease in the pan may smoke or burn the next tlme

the oven Is used.

Be sure you know the correct procedure for

putting out a grease fire. See the section on
safety,

Do not cover the entire broiler

grid with foil. Poor drainage
of hot fat may cause a broiler

fire.
If a fire starts, close the oven

door and turn controls off. if
fire continues, throw baking
soda on the fire. Do not put

water on the fire.

PO$1TBONIHG BROBLER PAN

Broiling is cooktng by direct heat from the broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be se-

lected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops
should be at least 3/4" thick,

After placing food on the broiler pan. put the pan on an
oven rack In the proper posltlom The recommended
rack position and cooking time can be found In the chart
below°

The closer the food is to the b roll element, the faster the

meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the

center. Moving the meat farther away from the element

lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1-2 minutes longer than stde

two,
