@This appliance should be ser-
viced only by qualified service
personnel.Contact near~st
authorizedservicefacility for
examination, repairor
adjustment.
eAs with any appliance,close
supervision is necessarywhen
used by children.
@To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not overcook food. Care-
fully attend appliance if paper,
plastic, or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
—Removewire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags’before
placing bag in oven.
—-Donot useyour microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do nol pop popcorn in your
microwaveovenunless in aspe-
cial microwave popcorn acces-
sory or unless you usepopcorn
labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
—Do not operatethe ovenwi=dle
emptyto avoiddamageto the
ovenand the dangerof fire. If by
accident the ovenshould run
empty aminute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it savesenergy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and dis-
connect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
@Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
63 Avoid baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
(continued next p~ge)

oDon’t defrostfrozenbever-
ages~nnarrow necked bottles;
especiallycarbonatedones.
Evenif the container is opened,
pressurecan build up. This can
causethe container to burst,
resulting in injury.
@use metalonly as directed in
Cookbook. Metalstrips as used
on meatroastsare helpful when
usedasshown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metaltrays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However,when using metal
in microwaveoven,keepmeta!
(exceptfor DOUBLE DUTY’M
shelf) at lleastl-inch awayfrom

43Cookingutensilsmay
becomehot becauseof heat
transferred from the heated
food. This is especially true if
plastic wrap has been covering
the top and handles of the
utensil. Potholders may be
neededto handle the utensil.
~Sometimes,the oven floor
Carlbecome too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
eDo not useany thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
eRemovethe temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
4BPlastic Utensiis—Plastic
utensils designedfor microwave
cooking arevery useful,but
should be usedcarefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as areglass or ceramic
materialsand may softenor
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons:1) Usemicro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensilsto micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use p!astic utensils without
complete su~ervision.
eWhen cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meatto at least
170°.This assuresthat, in the
remote possibility that trichina
may be present in the meat, it
will be killed and meatwill be
safeto eat.
49Boiling eggs (in am! out d
she!!) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
19Foods with unbroken outer
“skin”such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages,tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (seeabove)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
e+‘T30ihbk” cooking pouches
and tightlyclosedplasticbags
should beslit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. Ifthey
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately aftercooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plasticstoragecontainersshould
beat leastpartially uncovered
becausethey form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly coveredwith plastic wrap,
removecovering carefully and
direct steamaway from hands
and face.
oUseof the UNJBLE KWWTM
shelf accessory. (Seeyour Cook-
book for proper use.)
—-Removethe shelf from oven
when not in use.
—-Donot store or cook with
shelf on floor of oven.Product
damage may result.
—Use potholders when handling
the shelf and utensils.They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave brown-
ing dish on shelf.The shelf could
overheat.

Q. Iset my oven for the time called
for in the recipe but at the end of
the time allowed, my dish wasn’t
done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due
to time or location, many Time
Cook recipes give you atime range
to prevent overcooking. Set the
oven for minimum time, test the
food for doneness, and cook your
dish alittle longer, if necessary.
Q. Iwant to cook my dish on a
Power Level other than HIGH, what
do Ineed to do?
A. To change the Power Level,
touch the POWER LEVEL pad after
entering desired cooking time.
Enter the desired number and then
touch START.
Q. Can Iinterrupt my Time Cook
function to check the food?
A. Yes. To resume cooking, simply
close the door and touch START.
NOTE: Microwave power will not
come on until you are ready. You
must touch START for cooking to
begin.
Q. itouched the number pads and
selected my power level. When I
touched START, however, my oven
didn’t come on. Why not?
A. The TIME COOK pad must be
touched before setting the number
pads or else your oven will not be-
gin cooking.
Q. Itried to change Power Level
but the display changed back to
cooking time. Why?
A. After touching Power Level pad
you only have 4seconds to enter
the number. Try setting controls

!llefmhg Tips
@Foodsfrozen in paper or
plastic can be defrosted in the
package.
@For even defrosting, many
foods need to be broken up or
separated part of the way through
the defrosting time.
@Homemade dinners can be
frozen in shallow foil trays and
heated for later use. (Do not heat
on metal shelf). Select foods
which microwave well.
ePre-packaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwave
cooked, but foil tray must be
returned to box before cooking
on metal shelf.
@Check your Cookbook for
other defrosting tips.
and
Q. When Ipress START, Ihear 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 HIGH.
Q. Can IDefrost small items in a
hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more fre-
quent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by touching POWER LEVEL
and 7 or 10. Power Level 7cuts the
time in Yp;Power Level 10 cuts the
time to %. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
Q. Can Iopen the door during DE-
FROST 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.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times
in the Cookbook seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook times are average.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time in-
dicated in your Cookbook. If your
food is still not completely thawed
at the end of that time, re-$et your
oven and adjust the time ac-
cordingly.
C?.Can Iselect aPower Level other
than automatic Power Level 3for
defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be
defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree de-
frosting, Power Level 3is sug-
gested. Check the chart in the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.

—For many foods, internal temperature is the best
test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference
when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to aserving temperature you
desire is simple and easy,
TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven shuts off automatically when the
food is done.
The Probe
The temperature probe is afood thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food; it
must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion
on page 10. HANDLE
SENSOR CLIP
Step 1: Insert temperature probe
as directed in Cookbook and at-
tach probe securely in oven wall.
Close the door.
Step 2: Touch TEMP COOK. The
readout display shows Oand signal
light above TEMP COOK flashes.
Step 3: Touch 1, 3, 0or 130°. 130
shows on display. Power Level 10
is automatically set in oven but
does not appear on display.
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL pad.
Touch 5for MEDIUM power. P-5
shows on display and then display
reverts back to set finished
temperature.
Step 5: Touch START. After food
reaches 80°, display shows tem-
perature of food counting up.
Step 6: When 130° is reached, the
oven will sound and automatically
shut off. Remove probe and food
from the oven.
cooking Tips
@Usealower power level setting;
it will generally heat more evenly
even though requiring more time.
@Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before insert-
ing probe. Probe may break off if
used in frozen foods.
@Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care
not to touch the fat or the bone.
6$ Insert probe as horizontally as
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food.
eUse the clip to keep the probe
in place while heating.
@Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating.
and
Q. Are there any foods Ican’t
TEMP COOK?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temp-
eratures. Batters and doughs as
ivell as frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to TIME COOK
these foods.
Q. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, asignal sounded
and oven did not start. What is
wrong?
A. If you set the temperature either
below 80° or greater than 199° the
oven will not start. To re-enter,
touch CLEAFVOFF pad and begin
steps again.
Q. Oven sounded and would not
start although Ientered the temp-
erature correctly. What is wrong?
A. If you have not securely seated
the end of the probe into the
receptacle in the oven wall, if you
touch TEMP COOK and have for-
gotten to use the probe or if the
actual food temperature is higher
than set temperature, oven will
sound and not start.
Q. Can Ileave my probe in the
oven if it’s not inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may dam-
age the oven.
C?.How do Iknow what tempera-
ture to set?
A. Your Cookbook contains sec-
tions on all types of foods showing
the temperatures needed to cook
the foods to different degrees of
doneness. For reheating, refer to
Reheating Charts in the front
of the Cookbook for specific
temperatures.
