Microwaving Tips
. Make sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitible
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.
● Wper 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.
c 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.
Read all tistructions before ustig this applimce.

What Your Oven Can Do
Cooking with your new oven
offers a wide variety of food
preparation options. Microwave
cooking uses very short, high
frequency radio waves. The
movement of the microwaves
through the food generates heat
and cooks most foods faster than
conventional methods, while
retaining their natural texture
and moisture. Microwave
cooking heats food directly, not
the cooking utensil or the interior
of the oven. Reheating is easy and
defrosting is particularly
convenient because less time is
spent in food preparation.
Convection cooking constantly
circulates heated air around the food,
creating even browning and sealed-
in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces.
Comparison Guide
Your new oven also offers the
option of combination cooking,
using microwave energy along with
convection cooking. You cook with
speed and accuracy, while browning
and crisping to perfection.
You can use microwave cooking,
convection cooking or combination
cooking to cook by time. Simply
preset the length of cooking time
desired and your oven turns off
automatically. Or you can cook by
temperature by these methods,
using the temperature probe to
determine the doneness by the
internal temperature of the food.
This method takes the guesswork
out of cooking, shutting the oven
off automatically when the food
reaches the desired temperature.
Auto Roast is a combination
cooking function that uses the
temperature probe. You simply
select from 8 Auto Roast codes,
and the oven automatically adjusts
power level, oven temperature and
internal food temperature to cook
the food the way you want it.
The Auto Start timer lets you
program the oven to start cooking
at a desired time, even
if you’re
not at home.
The following guide shows at a

microwave, convection and
combination cooking.

Convection Cooking
METAL PANS are recommended
for all types of baked products, but
especially where browning or
crusting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are
best for breads and pies because
they absorb heat and produce
crisper crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for
cakes, cookies or muffins because
these pans reflect heat and help
produce a light tender crust.

Microwave Defrost
Defrosting is one of the most
useful microwave functions of
your oven, thawing foods quickly,
but gently. With no lengthy
defrosting required, meal
planning is easier than ever! You
can prepare single servings or
whole meals ahead of time and
freeze, then thaw and heat them
in just minutes.
Your new oven can even be
programmed to defrost, then
microwave cook by time for
complete freezer-to-table meal
preparation—automatically ! Refer
to page 8 of this book or to the
cookbook for cookware and food
preparation tips and suggestions.
Setting the Oven Controls
Step 1: Touch MICROWAVE

Questions and Answers
Q. Why don’t the defrosting
times in the cookbook seem right
for my food?
A.
Cookbook times are averages,
and defrosting time required can
vary according to the temperature
in your freezer. Set your oven for
the time given in the cookbook. If
your food is not completely thawed
at the end of that time, reset the
oven and adjust the time for
additional defrosting.
Q. Can I open the door during
the Microwave Defrost cycle?
A. Yes. You may open the door at
any time during microwaving. To
resume defrosting, just close the
door and touch START again.
Q. When I defrosted hamburger
patties, the edges were already
cooked. Why is this?
A.
The density and size of the
food makes a difference when
defrosting. Try using the minimum
recommended defrost time first.
Most meat patties must be rotated
during total defrosting time.
Step 4: Touch the number pads to
enter the cooking time. Display
shows this time. Power level High
(10) is programmed into oven, but if
your recipe calls for a different
power level, touch MICRO POWER

Microwave~me Cooting
Time cooking is a familiar
method of cooking food for a
predetermined length of time.
You will find that cooking with
microwave energy takes a great
deal less time than conventional
cooking methods. And your
microwave oven, unlike many
other ovens, turns itself off
automatically after the preset
time has elapsed.
You can even program your oven
to Microwave Cook by time in two
stages! Cook at one power level for
a desired length of time; then the
oven automatically changes to a
different power level and continues
cooking until the food is done.
Check the cookbook for foods
requiring two power levels.
Setting the Oven Controls
touch MICRO POWER LEVEL—
“ENTER POWER” flashes. Touch
the number pad for the desired
power level.
Step 3: Touch START. The display

Microwave Temperature Cooking
Temperature cooking uses
a special food thermometer to
measure the internal temperature
of food as it cooks. For many
foods this is the best test of
doneness. Heating or reheating
foods accurately to the desired
serving temperature is easy.
—
Temperature cooking takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches to
hold after reaching the preset food
temperature and maintains that
temperature until you touch the
CLEAR/OFF pad.
Setting the Oven Controls
Step 1: Insert temperature probe
in food as shown below or as

Convection ~me Cooking
During convection cooking, a
heating element is used to raise
the temperature of the air inside
the oven. A fan gently circulates
this heated air throughout the
oven, over and around the food,
producing golden brown
exteriors and rich, moist
interiors. Because the heated air
is kept constantly moving, not
permitting a layer of cooler air to
develop around the food; some
foods cook faster than in
conventional oven cooking.

Combination Temperature Cooking
With this function of your new
oven, you can enjoy the benefits
of combination cooking with the
precision of the temperature
probe. Four combination codes
are shown on the guide on page
14 to make it easy to program
microwave power level and oven
temperature with only one entry.
The probe makes it simple to
cook to the exact degree of
doneness desired, by monitoring
the internal temperature of the
food. This function is exactly
like combination time cooking
except you set internal food
temperature desired instead
of cooking time.
How to Combination
Temperature Cook
Step 1: Insert the temperature
probe into food as directed in this
manual or in the cookbook. Plug
the other end securely into the
oven
wall receptacle.
Step 2: Touch COMBINATION
COOK pad. “ENTER COMB
CODE” flashes and the time of
day disappears from the display.
Step 3: Select the Combination Code
by touching a number pad from 1 to
4 depending on oven temperature
needed. The code entered is shown
on the display and “ENTER COMB
FOOD TEMP” flashes.
Step 4: Enter the desired finished
food temperature by touching the
number pads in sequence. For
example, to set
180°F., touch 1, 8
and O in that order. The selected
temperature is shown on the display.
Step 5: Touch START to begin
cooking. The selected food
temperature disappears and the
display shows “
-80” until internal
food temperature reaches
80°F.
Then display shows actual food
temperature as it rises. When food
reaches the selected temperature,
the display shows “End” and the
oven signals and turns off.
For information on cookware for
combination temperature cooking,
refer to page 8.

Combination Auto Roast
Auto Roast is a combination
function which is similar to
combination temperature cooking,
using both microwave and
convection cooking in conjunction
with the temperature probe.
However, the Auto Roast feature
eliminates most of the steps
necmsary to program combination
temperature cooking. Instead,
you can set the entire cooking
program by selecting just one
Auto Roast code.
The food is placed in a glass dish
on a trivet for cooking during Auto
Roast. To select a code from 1 to 8,
see Auto Roast Guide on this page
or on control panel.
How to Combination
Auto Roast
Step 1: Insert temperature probe
into meat and plug the probe firmly
into oven
wall receptacle.
Step 2: Touch AUTO ROAST pad.
The time of day disappears and
“Auto” appears on display and
“ENTER ROAST CODE” flashes.
Step 3: Enter the desired Auto
Roast cooking code by touching
a number pad from 1 to 8. The
selected code appears in the
display and “START” flashes.
Step 4: Touch START. Auto Roast
code number disappears. Display
shows “ROAST FOOD TEMP” and
“-80” until food temperature
reaches 80°F. Then display shows
actual food temperature as it rises.
When food reaches the programmed
temperature for proper degree of
doneness, the display shows “End”
and the oven signals and turns off.
Q. Usually my temperature probe
gives very accurate results, but this
time it didn’t. What happened?
A. If the temperature probe is
positioned touching fat or bone, an
inaccurate reading may result. Be
sure to place the probe in solid
muscle, usually the thickest, meatiest
part of the roast or poultry, or in the
center of a meatloaf or casserole.
Q. Meats often take longer than
indicated in the guides to reach
the desired internal temperature.
Why?
A. If the meat is recently defrosted
and
still very cold or icy inside, it
will require a longer cooking time
than meat which has been merely
refrigerated. Times shown in
th~
Auto Roast Codes (Use Probe)
guides are usually for meats that

Q.
When I tried to program my
oven for combination Auto Roast,
it beeped and flashed “Prob”.
What did I do wrong?
A.
Auto Roast cannot be
programmed
without the temperature
probe connected to the oven wall
receptacle. To eliminate the “PROB”
display and continue programming
the oven, just securely insert the
probe into the receptacle.
Q.
When I touched the START
Dad the dis~lav showed “-80”
instead of the Food temperature.
Why?
A. If the temperature of the food is
lower than 80°F. the display will
indicate “ –80” until actual food
temperature reaches 80°F. Then the
display will show the internal food
temperature as it continues to rise.
Q. Do most meats require
standing time after cooking with
combination Auto Roast?
A.
You may want to let meats stand
briefly, to allow easier carving and
serving. Most meat roasts continue
to cook for a few minutes after
removing from the oven. Check the
cookbook for specific instructions.
