Cookbook. Metal strips as used
on meat, roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.

metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep meia!

eCaoking utensils may
become hot 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
needed to handle the utensil.
@Sometimes, the oven floor
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
@Do not ‘useany thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
~Remcwethe ‘temperature

using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the ovenwithout
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.

g~plastic Utensik5—P!astic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1)Use micro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) DOnot
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
e“Boi!abh3’9cocking ptxdws
and tightly dosed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
be at least partially uncovered
becausethey form atight seal.
When cooking with containers

QUse il%cqxwPan Size—-This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size.Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils
will expose aportion of the
heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
@Never !leavesurface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spiliovers that may catch
on fire.
@Be sure reflector pans and
vent ducts are not covered and
are in place. Their absence
during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
@Don’t use aluminum foil to
line reflector pans or anywhere
in the oven except as described
in this book. Misuse could
result in ashock, fire hazard,
or damage to the range.
QOnly certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed containers
are suitable for range-top ser-
vice; others may break because
of the sudden change in tem-
perature (SeeSection on “Sur-
face Cooking” for suggestions.)
@To minimize !burrnsJignition of

A. When using Code 1, there is no second phase of
minutes counting clown. All the cooking is comp-
leted in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. Hmy food is notcmrnpideiy cooked after using
the suggested Auto CMok Ccmtm! Code, wha!
Shwk! ido?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
Power Level 10 for afew minutes until completion
or recover and use Auto Cook Code 1.
c?.Em all fresh 0? frmxmvegetables E’equkg al
standingperiod afier cooking withAUTO CXXM?
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 inAuto
cook?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly which shortens
the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish.
Recover tightly and reset Auto Cook.
IQ.Do the shapes and sizes of food make adiffer-
ence when usin~ 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.
c?.should IUS? Auto cook bcook puumhJ or
%lwx?s?
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. R6y scalloped potatoes were notmmpk?kdy
Cxmkwl when !removed the dish afterAuto cook.
What isWrw’q?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the sauce with potatoes, there may have
been too 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 decreasesthe first sensing cycle.
(3. Do fn?s’-i of fi%mxmlvegetables !wquiw? water
when L.m’RgAuto (kM3k’?
A. Yes. Add water as recommended on chart to the
vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.
Q. would my’ plastic containers with very’ tight fi$”
ting lids be appropriate for Automatic Cooking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage dishes, butter
tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended
for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from escaping and food
may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking.
Q. IItried to warm some chow meim noodles using
Auto cook. why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture in order to create
steam which helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles,
potato chips and other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
Q. May 1use Auto Cook when !am cocking many
foods in more than one dish or casserole?
)$. 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 fu!ly cooked even though
$he #temperature on the readout was correct and
Auto Roast completed?
A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature
probe must be inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook.
Q, Are there any particular trhfetsthat work better
than others?
A. Yes, flat glass trivets provide more browning to
the bottom of meats than plastic trivets. Also,
ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes generally
work well. Plastic trivets may 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. When cooking by Auto Roast, why doesn’t the
roast continue cooking during the standing or
holding time?
A. The oven automatically reaches finished tem-
perature and then decreases to alower power Ieve!
to prevent overcooking. Thus an even temperature
is maintained.
Q. 1entered Auto Defrost Code 1, then the number
4for 4ibs. of chicken. ‘“U-wreadout flashed “Start”

Questions
andAnswers
Q. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, “ERROR” flashed
in the display and a signal
sounded. What iswrong?
“ERROR” flashes on display if
~;u set the temperature either be-
I~W800 or greater than 199”. The
ovQn tells you between the flash-
ing of “ERROR” ‘what. the in-
ccir-reelerjtry was that you set. To
re-~rltw, touch CLEAR/OFF pad
and b<!~instepb again.
Q. Are there any foods Ican’t
TEMP COOK?
A, Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
e~c., soften rapidly at warm tem-
peratures. Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to T~ME COOK
these foods.
Q. Why did “PROBE” flash on the
display after Itouched Start?
A. “PROBE” will flash on the dis-
play if you have not securely
seated the end of the probe into
the receptacle in the oven wall or if
you touch TEMP COOK and have
forgotten to use the probe.
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, y,oumay dam-
age the oven.
Q. Can ITEMP COOK different
portions of food at different
temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe
gives you the freedom to cook dif-
ferent portions of food at different
temperatures to suit individual eat-
ing styles. Simply place the probe
in the food and change the tem-
perature setting as needed.
