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 unsure, use this dish test:
Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup.
Place in oven on or beside dish.
Microwave 1 minute at High (10).
If water becomes hot, dish is
microwave safe. If dish heats, it
should not be used for microwaving.
. Paper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
● Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your cookbook for specific
instructions.
● 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.

the meat to an internal temperature
of at least 170”F. This assures
that, in the remote possibility that
trichina may be present in the
meat, it will be killed and meat
will be safe to eat.
Microwave Oven:
● Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS
‘IO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
‘IO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
c To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
–Do not overcook food.
Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside 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.
–Do not use recycled paper
products. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and wax paper can contain
metal flecks which may cause
arcing or ignite. Paper products
containing nylon or nylon
filaments should be avoided, as
they may also ignite.
–Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unlessinaspecial
microwave popcorn accessory or
unless you use popcorn labeled
for use in microwave ovens.
–Do not overcook potatoes.
They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your oven
–Do not operate the oven while
empty to avoid damage to the
oven and the danger of fire.
If
by accident the oven should run
empty a minute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and
prolongs life of the oven.
. If materia~ inside the oven
should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.
● Some products such as whole
eggs and sealed containers-for
example, closed glass jars-may
explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
c See door surface cleaning
instructions on page 35.
. Don’t defrost frozen beverages
—especially carbonated
ones—
in narrow-necked bottles. Even if
the container is opened, pressure
can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resulting in
injury.

.
. Use metal only as directed in
cookbook. Foil strips as used on
meat roasts are helpful when used
as shown in cookbook.
TV dinners maybe 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 for DOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf) at least 1 inch away from
sides of oven.
● Cookware may become hot
because of heat transferred from
the heated food. Pot holders may
be needed to handle the cookware.
● 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 fds containing
—
less moisture. Should this occur,
refix to page 34 for instructions on
how to clean the inside of the oven.
. Do not use a thermometer 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
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in fmd or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
● Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
. W- ~ is not recommended
in a microwave oven. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and —
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.

● Foods with unbroken outer
—
“skin” such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
(see previous caution) should be
pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
. pl~tic cookware-plastic
cookware designed for microwave
cooking are very usefi.d, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave-safe plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking
conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or char
if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures
to overcooking, the food and
cookware could ignite, For these
reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe
plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the
cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty cookware to
microwaving. 3) Do not permit
-.
children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.
. ~~Bo~ableJ’ cooking pouch~
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst during
or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
beat least partially uncovered
because they form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefidly and direct
steam away from hands and face.
c Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly afier removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent burns
from splashing liquid, stir the
liquid briefly before removing the
container from the microwave oven.
.
● Use of the DOUBLE DUTYM
shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
–Do not store or cook with
shelf on floor of oven. Product
damage may result.
–Use pot holdem when
handling the shelf and cookware.
They may be hot.
–Do not use microwave
browning dish on shelf. The
shelf could overheat,
Self-Cleaning hwer Oven:
● Stand away from the oven
when opening oven door. The
hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face
andlor eyes.
● I)On$t heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
● Keep oven vent duct
unobstructed.
. Keep oven free from grease
buildup.
● Place oven rack in desired
position while oven is cool. If
racks must be handled when hot,
do not let potholder contact
heating units in the oven.
● Pulling out shelf to the shelf
stop is a convenience in lifting
heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from
touching hot surfaces of the
door or oven walls.
. When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
. J)o not use your oven to dry
newspapers, If overheated, they
can catch fire.
. DO not clean door gasket. It is
essential for a good seal. Be careful
not to rub, damage or move it.
Q Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.

cookware,
Surface Cooking Units:
● Use proper Pan Size—This
appliance is equipped with one or
more
surfhce units of different size.
Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of cookware
to burner will also improve
efficiency.
● Never leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilcwercauses smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
● Be sure drip pans and vent
duct are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during
cooking could damage appliance
parts and wiring.
● Don>t me ~~n~ fo~ to line
drip pans
or anywhere in the oven

Misuse could result ina shock, fire
hazard, or damage to the cooking
center.
● Only certain types of gh%
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed
containers are suitable for
cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden
change in temperature. (See
pages 21 and 22 for suggestions.)
● To minimize the possibility of
burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned
toward the center of the cooking
center without extending over
nearby surface units.

INSTRUCTIONS
Energy-Saving
‘IIps
—
● Use proper power level as
recommended and DO
N~
OVERCOOK.
● Do not operate the oven while
empty. If by accident the oven
should run empty a minute or two,
no harm is done. However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at
all times—saves energy and also
ensures good, long-term life of oven.
● Use cookware of medium weight
aluminum, tight-fitting covers, and
flat bottoms which completely
cover the heated portion of the
surface unit.
● Cook fresh vegetables with a
minimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
. Watch foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at
HI and MED HI heat settings.
When food reaches cooking
temperature, reduce heat
immediately to lowest setting that
will keep it cooking.
● Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever possible. For
example, when cooking
eggs in the
shell, bring water and eggs to boil,
then turn to OFF position and
cover with lid to complete
the cooking.
● Always turn surface unit off
before removing cookware.
● Use correct heat for cooking task...
high heats to start cooking (if time
allows, do not use high heat to start),
medium high—quick brownings,
medium-slow frying, low—finish
cooking most quantities, simmer—
double boiler heat, finish cooking,
and special for small quantities.
● When boiling water for tea or
coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to
boil a container full of water for
only one or two cups.
● Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the oven promptly
after the light goes out,
. Always turn oven off before
removing food.
. During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it is
opened.
● For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
. Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature in approximately
the same time.
● Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

Imtalling the
Cooking Center
Your cooking center, like many
other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor
coverings such as cushioned vinyl
or carpeting. When moving the
cooking center on this type of
flooring, use care, and it is
recommended that these simple
and inexpensive instructions be
followed.
The cooking center should be
installed on a l/4-inch-thick sheet
of plywood (or similar material) as
follows:
When the floorcovering
ends at the front of the cooking
center the area that the cooking
center will rest on should be built
up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering.
This will then allow the cooking
center to be moved for cleaning or
servicing.
Leveling the
Cooking Center
Leveling screws are located on
each corner of the base of the
cooking center. By removing the
bottom drawer you can level the
cooking center to an uneven floor
with the use of a nutdriver.
To remove drawer, pull drawer out
all the way, tilt up the front and
remove it. To replace, insert glides
at back of drawer beyond stop on
glides. Lift drawer if necessary to
insert easily. Let front of drawer
down, then push into close.

Automatic Roasting
—
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, thus
providing even, tender cooking
results without overcooking.
Just as in conventional roasting,
only tender roasts should be Auto
Roasted until specified internal
temperatures are reached. Less
tender roasts should be microwaved
by time, according to the cookbook
which came with your oven.
Preparing Roasts for
Auto Roasting
Pork or ham roasts need no trivet.
Add 1/2 cup water to roast dish,
cover with plastic wrap. Allow
room for probe when covering.
Place meat in oven with probe to
the right. Insert cable end of probe
firmly into receptacle on oven wall.
Place tender beef roast on trivet in

Cooking by Temperature
Temp Cook/Hold
(Auto Roast Code 7)
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Use Auto Roast code 7 and
the temperature probe to Temp
Cook/Hold and take the guesswork
out of cooking because the oven
automatically switches to “Hold”
setting after reaching the preset
food temperature and maintains that
temperature for up to one hour or until
you touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.
You might prefer to use Auto Roast
code 7 to enter a desired food
temperature, power level, or Hold
temperature for up to twelve hours
after food is done.

Cooking Tips
● Use a lower power level; it will
heat more evenly even though
requiring more time.
c Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before inserting
probe. Probe may break off if used
in frozen foods.
● Cover foods loosely for moisture
control and quick, even heating.
Questions and Answers
Q. Are there any foods I can’t
Temp Cook?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc. soften rapidly at warm
temperatures. Batters, doughs and
frozen foods are also difficult to
cook precisely with the probe. It’s
best to Time Cook these foods.
Q. Why did “PROBE” flash
after I touched the START pad?
A. “PROBE” will flash if you
don’t seat the cable end of the probe
securely into the receptacle in the
oven wall or if you touch the AUTO
ROAST pad and forget to use the
probe.
Q. Can I leave my probe in the
oven if it’s not inserted in food?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
you may damage the oven.

Oven shuts off.
Step 10: Open the door.
Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the
end of the time allowed, my food
wasn’t done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many Microwave
by Time recipes give you a time
range to prevent overcooking. Set
the oven for minimum time, test the
food for doneness, and cook your
food a little longer, if necessary.
Q. I touched the number
pads and selected my power level.
When I touched START, however,
my oven didn’t come on.
why not?
A. The TIME pad must be touched
before touching the number pads
and START.
Q. I want to cook on a power
level other than 10 (High). What
do 1 need to do?
A. To cook on a power level other
than 10 (High), first touch the TIME
pad and set the desired cooking

shuts off.
Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearrange your program. Defrosting
will always come first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Defrost and amount of
time. Then program Hold and the
amount of time. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
—
promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
16

Defrosting by Time
The Time Defrost setting is
designed for speedy thawing
of frozen food and is one of the
great advantages of a microwave
oven.
Use the Time Defrost setting to
quickly thaw foods such as bread,
rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting
is preferred for meat and poultry
because the oven sets the defrosting
time and power levels for you.
● Power level 3 is automatically set
for defrosting, but you may change
this for more flexibility.
● See your cookbook for defrosting
help.
To become better acquainted with
the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz.
package of frozen strawberries by
following the steps below.
Step 1: Place package of frozen
strawberries in the oven and close
door. Be sure package contains
no metal.
Step 3: Select one half of the total
defrosting time recommended in
your cookbook. For example, touch
3,0 and O for 3 minutes. Display
shows “3:00” and “POWER 3?
“DEF TIME” flashes. If you wish
to change power level, touch
POWER CONTROL pad and
then new number.
Step 5: Turn package over, close
door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set
remaining half of defrosting time
and touch START.
Step 6: When oven signals and
flashes “End~’ open door, remove
package and separate strawberries
to finish defrosting.
Defrosting Tips
● Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
● Family-size, pre-packaged
frozen entrees can be defrosted
and microwaved. If the food is in a
foil container, transfer it to
a microwave-safe dish.
c For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
● Check your cookbook for other
defrosting tips.
17
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press START, I hear
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 10 (High).
Q. Can I defrost small items in
a hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need
more
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the power level after entering the
time by touching the desired power
level pad. Power level 7 cuts the
total defrosting time about in 1/2;
Power level 10 cuts the total
defrosting time to approximately
1/3. During either, rotate or stir
food frequently.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting
times in the cookbook seem right
for my food?
A. Cookbook times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indicated
in your cookbook. If
your food is
still not completely thawed at the
end of that time, reset your oven
and adjust the time accordingly.
Q. Should all foods be completely
thawed before cooking?
A. Some foods should not be
completely thawed before cooking.
For example, fish cooks so quickly
it is better to begin cooking while it
is still slightly frozen.
Q. Can I open the door during
defrosting 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. The oven begins
operating if time is left on timer.
If not, reset timer.

How to Reheat Several
Different ‘Ijqxs of Foods
Together
When heating several 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. This
is because microwave energy enters
the oven from the bottom only.
Also, it is important to remember
that foods absorb microwave
energy at different rates. Rates can
be affected by the size of the food,
and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you
may need to start reheating a large
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the foods you are heating
seems undercooked 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 times for all
foods together. (See heating guide
in cookbook. ) Afler half of time,
stir or rearrange foods (do not
reverse positions). Check foods
(floor especially) after 3/4 of total
time and remove any which are
done. Continue cooking others.

Place on floor large or dense
foods which need the most heating,
such as leftover fried chicken,
casseroles of canned or leftover
vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on
