A. CAxMng
1. Use proper power level as recommended and
DO NOT OVERCOOK.
2. Do not operate the oven while empty. If by acci-
dent the oven should run empty aminute 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.
B“ Gxking
Use cooking utensils of medium weight alumi-
num, tight-fitting covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated portion of the sur-
face unit.
Cook fresh vegetables with aminimum amount
of water in acovered pan.
“Keep an eye” on foods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature, re-
duce heat immediately to lowest setting that will
keep it cooking.
use residLJa!heat with surface cooking when-
ever possible. For example, when cooking eggs
in the shell bring water to boil, then turn to OFF
position to complete the cooking.

medium—slow frying, low—finish cooking most

When boiling water for tea or coffee, heat only

Preheat the ov& only when necessary. Most
foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating.
[f you find preh~ating 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 atime as possible
when it is opened.
For self-cleaning oven, be sure to wipe up ex-
cess 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 amain-dish cas-
serole, meat loaf, chickm or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same temperature in ap-
proximately the same time,
Use residual heat in oven whenever possible to
finish cooking casseroles, oven meal~, etc. Also
add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven,
using residual heat to warm them.

Plastic designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
are glass or ceramic materials and may
soften or char if subject to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and containers may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the container
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do
not subject empty containers to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit childreri Wuse

Q. Why does my oven automatically cut off afterthe
AUTO qmhewhen using Auto Cook Control Code 1
v+henit does not for othersettings?
A. when usingCode 1,there is no second phase of
minutes counting down, All the cooking is com-
pleted in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. if my food is not completely cooked after using
the suggested Auto (%0!4 ControK Code, what
skwld ido?
A. l-hick starchy or dense foods may require some
adddionai time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
Power Level 10for afew minutes until completion.
Q. DcI a!.! fresh or frozen vege!abks require a
standing period after cooking withAUTO COOK?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to acrisp state dur-
ing Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving.
Therefore, it is recommended that you let the vege-
tables stand for up to 5minutes depending on size
and density of pieces. This standing time also en-
hances the overall flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.
Q. What if Idon’t fully cover the dish in Auto
cook?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly which shortens
the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish.
Recover tightly and reset Auto Cook.
Q. !30 the shapes and sizes of food make adiffer-
ence when using Auto Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces will require ad-
ditional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper ar-
rangement is often asuccessful tip in regular micro-
waving.
Q. Should 1use Auto Cook to cook pudding or
sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes require stirring
many times during cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affect-
ing end cooking results.
Q. My scalloped po@toes were not completely
cooked when iremoved the dish after Auto Cook.
What is wrong?
A. if you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have
been foo much remaining moisture in the oven.
Make sure you dry the oven completely before us-
ing Auto Cook since this function operates properly
by sensing steam in the oven, Also, starting Auto
Cook with hot foods creates steam in the oven too
soon, and decreases the first sensing cycle.
Q, Are Mere any other foods which am best Time
;:f-&@~Jy~~~fh~~fg~~~~g~~~Q&@fj?
A, Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or
foods when adry or crisp surface is desirable, are
COOkedbest by Time Ccok.
Q. Da fresh mhxzen vegetabhs require water
when LSfig Auto Cook?
A. Yes. Add water as recommended on chart to the
vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.
(2. Would my pkwtk containers with very tight fit-
ting lids be appropriate for Automatic Choking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage dishes, butter
tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended
for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from escaping and food
may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking.
Q. 1tried to warm same chow rmin noodles using
Auto Cook. Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture in order to create
steam which helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles,
potato chips and other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
(2. May Iuse Auto Cook when 1am cooking many
foods in more than me dish or casserole?
A. No, because of different food densities, attention
needed during cooking, and food amounts, it is best
to use TIME COOK when cooking many foods.
Q. Why was my roast not fully cooked even though
the temperature on the readou~ was correct and
AutoRoastcompleted? .—
A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature
probe must be inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotat-
ing, the probe should be checked to make sure it
hasn’t slipped or changed position,
Q. Last !ime Iused Auto Roast ilremoved the roast
from the oven to turn it over. When !replaced roast
in ovumand reconnected the meat probe, AUTO
reappeared, Why?
A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below
80°, or probe may have been repositioned. Con-
tinue roasting and numbers will soon reappear.
Q. Are there any particular trivets that work better
than others?
A. Yes, flat glass trivets such as lids or dish covers
give more even cooking results than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work
well. Plastic trivets require meat to be turned over
more frequently because the grid design and legs
allow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks, than glass trivets do.
.—
Q. Why doesn’t the mast continue cooking during
the standing o?holding time?
A. The oven automatically reaches finished temper-
ature and then decreases to alower power level to
prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is
maintained, .

Your ceramic cooktop controls are
set the same as the range top con-
trols described on the preceding
page. However, instead of metal
coii Calrod@’units, your cooking
surface is an embossed sunburst
pattern on a smooth ceramic top.
The heat is transferred from a
heating element below the surface,
through the ceramic top, to the
bottom of the cooking utensil.
This, in turn, heats the food. As it
heats, the cooking surface turns
yellow. When the control is turned
to OFF,the cooking area cools and
returns to its original white color.
sDo not leave plastic items on
cooking area.
@Do not cook foods packaged
in their aluminum foil trays or
wrapped in aiuminurn foil on glass
ceramic. Foil can melt and fuse to
the unit causing perm an,ent
damage.
@Keep bottom of utensil and
cooking surface clean and dry. In
dusty or sandy areas, wipe the
utensil and cooking surface to pre-
vent scratching the ceramic finish.
@Wipe up spills and spatters when
cooktop is COOIbut before they
bum onto the surface, Be sure to
wipe area next to the unit you have
been using, in case food has spat-
tered on these areas. CAUTlON:
Be careful to avoid steam burns on
your hand when wiping the cook-
top.
@Avoid scratching the cooktop
with rings or other jewelry.
@During cooking, utensil lids coi-
Iect condensed steam. If con-
densation drips on the cooktop,
mineral deposits in the water or
food can stain the cooking sur-
face. Lift utensil lids so con-
densation drips back into the uten-
sil instead of on the cooktop.
@Use heat settings no higher than
MED or follow manufacturer’s di-
rections when using utensils made
of the following materials: cast
iron, glass ceramic (pyroceram),
and stainless steel. Also, enamel-
ware which under certain condi-
tions could melt and fuse to the
cooking panel when higher heats
are used. Manufacturers of glass
cooking utensils also recommend
using heats no higher than MED.
If not properly cared for, your
ceramic cooktop can become
stained and the original white fin-
ish permanently discolored. Since
soil build-up is the only cause of
discoloration, spatters and spills
must be cleaned up properly.
Heavy build-up can cause ayellow
or brownish-grey glass film even
when the cooktop is cool. How-
ever, the film is on the surface only
and can be removed.
To keep the ceramic cooktop look-
ing like new, follow these steps.
Before first using the ceramic
cooktop, clean it with the Cleaner-
Conditioner packed in your range.
Step 1: Simply put asmall amount
of cleaner directly on the center of
each sunburst pattern. Clean with
adamp paper towel. Wipe off with
another clean, damp cloth, Wipe
dry. NOTE: Usethe Cleaner-Condi-
tioner each day to remove all vis-
ible soil from the ceramic cooktop.
At least once aweek, clean the
cooktop with Bar Keepers Friend@
Cleanser which isespecially formu-
