IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
When using electrical appliances
basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the
following:
WARNING—TO reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
●Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual.
●Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded
by aqualified technician in
accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
●This appliance must be con-
nected to agrounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor
should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to
the equipment grounding ter-
minal or lead on the appliance.
●This appliance should be ser-
viced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact nearest

●Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance.
●Do not use outdoors.
●Do not operate this appliance
if it is not working properly, or if
it has been damaged or dropped.
●As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when
used by children.
●Do not leave children alone—
children should not be left alone
or unattended in area where
appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
●Don’t allow anyone to climb,
stand or hang on the door,
drawer or range top. They could
damage the range and even tip
it over causing severe personal
injury.
●CAUTION: DO NOT STORE
ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN IN CABINETS
ABOVE ARANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF ARANGE—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE
RANGE TO REACH ITEMS
COULD BE SERIOUSLY
INJURED.
●Wear proper clothing. Loose
fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while
using the appliance. Flammable
material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heat-
ing elements and may cause
severe burns.
●Use only dry potholders—
moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot-
holders touch hot heating ele-
ments. Do not use atowel or
other bulky cloth.
●Never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
●Storage in or on Appliance—
Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven or near sur-
face units.
oKeep hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting
and to avoid grease fires.
●Do not let cooking grease or
other flammable materials accu-
mulate in the range or near it.
●Do not use water on grease 6
fires. Never pick up aflaming
pan. Smother flaming pan on
surface unit by covering pan
completely with well fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside apan can be put
out by covering with baking
soda or, if available, amulti-
purpose dry chemical or foam.
oDo not touch heating ele-
ments or interior surface of
oven. These surfaces may be
hot enough to burn even though
they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units,
areas nearby surface units or
any interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling,
first.
Potentially hot surfaces include
the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening
and surfaces near the openings, @
and crevices around the oven
door.
Remembec The inside surface
of the oven may be hot when the
door is opened.
oWhen cooking pork follow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. 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 TO AVOID
ePOSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
0To 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.
—Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bag in oven.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins,
wax paper. Recycled paper
products can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products con-
taining nylon or nylon filaments
should be avoided, as they may
also ignite.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
T
4
‘t: ,~inicrowave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—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 aminute or two, no harm
is done. However, try to avoid
operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy 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.
eSome products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars—may explode and
whould not be heated in this
4: oven.
eSee door surface cleaning
instructions on page 40.
●Don’t defrost frozen bever-
ages in narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonated ones.
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. Metal strips as used
on meat, roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep metal
(except for DOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf) at least l-inch away from
sides of oven.
●Cooking utensils may
become hot because of 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.
oSometimes, the oven floor
can become too hot to touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking.
eDo not use any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
oRemove 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 food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
●Boiling eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
oFoods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
5
●Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
●Plastic Utensils—Plastic
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) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
●“Boilable” cooking pouches
and tightly closed 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
because they form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
.Use of the DOUBLE DUTY’M
shelf accessory. (See you rCook-
book for proper use.)
—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 potholders when handling
the shelf and utensils. They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave
browning dish on shelf. The
shelf could overheat. Use of
shelf with Automatic Cooking
feature is not recommended.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Oven:
.Stand away from the range
when opening oven door. The
hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
.Don’t heat unopened food
containers in the oven. Pressure
could build up and the container
could burst causing an injury.
.Keep oven vent ducts
unobstructed.
●Keep oven free from grease
build up.
.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 aconvenience in lifting
heavy foods. It is also aprecau-
tion against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven
walls.
.When using cooking or roast-
ing bags in oven, follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
.Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
Self-Cleaning Oven:
.Do not clean door gasket. ‘
The door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
.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.
.Clean only parts listed in this
Use and Care Book.
●Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan and other
utensils.
Surface Cooking Units:
.Use Proper Pan Size—This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface unit$ 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 leave surface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boiiover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
.Be sure drip 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 drip pans or anywhere in
the oven except as described in
this book. Misuse could result
in ashock, fire hazard, or
damage to the range.
●Only 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 (See Section on “Sur-
face Cooking” for suggestions.)
●TO minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spill-
age; the handle of acontainer
should be positioned so that it is
turned toward the center of the
range without extending over
nearby surface units.
●Don’t immerse or soak
removable surface units. Don’t
put them in adishwasher.
.Always turn surface unit to
OFF before removing utensil.
.Keep an eye on foods being
fried at HIGH or MEDIUM HIGH
heats.
●To avoid the possibility of a
burn or electric shock, always
be certain that the controls for
all surface units are at OFF posi-
tion and all coils are cool before
attempting to remove the unit.
●When flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
.Foods for frying should be as
dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over sides of pan.
●Use little fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Fill-
ing the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is
added.
. If acombination of oils or
fats will be used in frying, stir
together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
●Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
.Use deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
over-heating fat beyond the
smoking point.

INSTRUCTIONS

Installing Your
aRange
Your range, like many other house-
hold items, is heavy and can settle
into soft floor coverings such as
cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When
moving the range on this type of
flooring, use care, and it is recom-
mended that these simple and
inexpensive instructions be
followed.
The range should be installed on a
sheet of plywood (or similar mate-
rial) as follows: When the floor cov-
ering is terminated at the front of
the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with
plywood to the same level or higher
than the floor covering. This will
then allow the range to be moved
for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling the
Range
Leveling screws are located on
ceach corner of the base of the
‘range. By removing the bottom
drawer you can level the range to
an uneven floor with the use of a
nutdriver.
To remove drawer, pull drawer out
all the way, tilt up the front and re-
move it. To replace, insert glides at
back of drawer beyond stop on
range glides. Lift drawer if neces-
sary to insert easily. Let front of
drawer down, then push in to close.
Energy Saving Tips
Microwave Cooking
●Use proper power level as
recommended and DO NOT
OVERCOOK.
●Do not operate the oven while
empty. If by accident 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.
Surface Cooking
oUse cooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers, and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated portion
of the surface unit.
.Cook fresh vegetables with
aminimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
●Watch foods when bringing
them quickly to cooking tempera-
tures at HIGH heat. 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 to boil, then turn
to OFF position to complete the
cooking.
oAlways turn surface unit OFF
before removing utensil.
.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 quanti-
ties, simmer—double boiler heat,
finish cooking, and special for
small quantities.
Conventional
Oven Cooking
●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 atime as possible when 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 amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same tem-
perature in approximately the same
time.
●Use residual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking cas-
seroles, oven meals, etc. Also add
rolls or precooked desserts to warm
oven, using residual heat to warm
them.
eWhen boiling water for tea
or coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to boil
acontainer full of water for only
one or two cups.

easy reheating of foods, automati-
cally turns the oven off as soon as
the sensor detects steam from the
foods. Other Auto Cook control set-
tings, which are for fresh or frozen
foods, need additional time after
steam and aroma have been sensed.
For these foods, the oven deter-
mines the amount of additional time
needed, then automatically switches
the oven to Time Cook for the neces-
sary cooking time remaining. Oven
beeps when it switches the oven to
Time Cook (AUTO on display is
replaced by numbers indicating
cooking time), and oven door can
be opened.
Be careful of steam when removing
tight covers. When you remove
cover, direct the steam away from
hands and face.
Be sure the outside of the cooking
container and inside of microwave
oven are dry.
Afew foods need stirrring or
rotating after partial cooking. Check
the “Automatic Cooking Guide”
section on page 13.
We suggest covering foods that
tend to spatter to keep the interior
of the oven clean. This also helps
the food heat more evenly.
Note: Use of the DOUBLE DUTYTM
shelf with Automatic Cooking is not
recommended.
MATCH THE AMOUNT OF FOOD TO THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINER. FILL CONTAINERS AT LEAST 1/2 FULL.
BE SURE THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKING CONTAINER AND INSIDE OF MICROWAVE OVEN ARE DRY.
,
Use microwave-safe casseroles or
bowls for entrees and vegetables.
Cover with lid to dish. Wax paper or
loose plastic wrap can also be used.
Do not use paper plates witt auto-
matic cooking. Use microwave-safe
plates or bowls for reheating. Cover
with plastic wrap or wax paper and
tuck edges under dish (you can still
use paper plates with regular Time
Cooking, Defrosting, etc.).
Use oblong or square containers ft
chicken or corn on the cob. Cover
with wax paper or loose plastic to
prevent spattering.
Frozen Entrees in Paperboard Tray:
Do not remove film over tray; re-
move tray from box. Thick entrees
may need longer time. See chart on
page 20. Frozen Food in Metal Tray:
Remove foil, reinsert into box and
close ends.
Follow control panel or Automatic
Cooking Chart settings for casse-
roles. Cover casserole meat and
vegetables with sauce. Cool hot
ingredients or sauces. If not, use
TIME COOK.

9Example of How to Use
Automatic Cooking
Place covered food in oven. Touch
AUTO COOK pad. “Enter Code”
flashes on display.
Word AUTO shows on display,
indicating steam sensor is acti-
vated. DO NOT OPEN DOOR.
WHEN “AUTO” IS DISPLAYED,
COOKING PERFORMANCE MAY
BE AFFECTED.
Beep sounds when steam is sensed
and AUTO is replaced by cook
time. At this point, door may be
opened to check foods if desired.
When done, oven beeps and stops.
NOTE: Refer to Automatic Cooking
Chart on oven when door is open
and also on page 20 of this book.
Understanding Automatic
Cooking Codes &
Preference Control
Automatic cooking codes 1through
9are designed to give you easy
automatic results with anumber
of foods.
Codes are arranged in lowest to
highest amount of power. For
example, Code 1gives least micro-
wave cooking power, Code 2gives
more power than Code 1, Code 3
increases power over Code 2 and
so on.
Code 1, which has the least power,
is used for quick reheating jobs
while the longer cooking foods like
stew or chili use higher codes. A
Cooking Chart and recipes, starting
on page 13 give many tested uses
for automatic cooking codes.
The Preference Control
Another feature to give you flexi-
bility in Automatic Cooking is the
preference control, which can be
used to “fine tune” the power of
Codes 2through 9. By simply
adding a 1 after aCode, you can set
the oven to cook using 20°/0 less
time than the code would regularly
deliver. For example, if Code 4
cooks your vegetables more done
than you like them, set Code 41
next time and you will get 20°/0 less
cooking time.
Likewise, if you wish slightly more
time than acode delivers, add a 9
after the Code. For the vegetables
in the example above, Code 49
would provide 20°/0 more time for
cooking than would the regular
Code 4.
Touch AUTO COOK Pad. “Enter
Code” flashes on display.
Touch number pads 4 and 1 in that
order. Code 4shows and “Start”
flashes on display.
Tou~h START’AUTO shows on
display. If you wish to check foods,
open door after first oven signal.
Close door and touch START.

Automatic Cooking Questions and Answers
Q. Why does my oven automatically
cut off after the AUTO cycle when
using Auto Cook Control Code 1
when it does not for other settings?
A. When using Code 1, there is no
second phase of minutes counting
down. All the cooking is completed
in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. If the food is not completely
cooked after using the suggested
Code, what should Ido?
A. Differences in recipes may result
in different cooking times. Use
Time Cook and Power Level 10 for
afew minutes until completion or
re-cover and use Auto Cook Code 1
if more time is needed.
Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables
require astanding period after
cooking with Auto Cook?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to a
crisp state during Auto Cook, just
as in regular microwaving. There-
fore, it is recommended that you let
the vegetables stand for up to 5
minutes depending on size and
density of pieces. This standing
time also enhances the overall
flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.
Q. What if Idon’t cover the dish in
Auto Cook?
A. While cooking without the cover
does not affect sensor performance,
we suggest covering dishes that
may spatter to keep the oven clean.
Covering also helps foods heat
evenly.
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food
make adifference when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces
will require additional Time Cook-
ing. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish,
since proper arrangement is often
asuccessful tip in regular
microwaving.
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 affecting
end cooking results.
Q. My scalloped potatoes 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
too much remaining moisture in the
oven. Make sure you dry the oven
completely before using Auto Cook
since this function operates properly
by sensing steam and aroma in the
oven. Also starting Auto Cook with
hot foods creates steam and aroma
in the oven too soon, and decreases
the first sensing cycle.
Q. Are there any other foods which
are best Time Cooked, rather than
Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted
chocolate or foods when adry or
crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables I
require water when using Auto
Cook?
A. Yes. Add water to the vegetables
as recommended on chart and cover
well for even, complete cooking.
Q. Would my plastic containers with
very tight fitting 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 lids
may prevent adequate steam and
aroma from escaping and food may
not cook properly during Automatic
Cooking.
Q. Itried to warm some chow mein
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 noo-
dles, potato chips and other such
foods do not have enough moisture.
Q. Should Iuse Auto Cook when I+
am cooking many foods in more
than one 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.

Automatic Cocking Recipe Guide
m
‘4utomatic Cooking Control is a
ully automatic electronic control
system that lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The
charts and recipes in this section
are designed to help you make the
most of this feature.
Standard cooking techniques
require setting the oven for aspeci-
fied cooking time or aselected fin-
ished temperature. And that means
looking up recipes in acookbook. . .
trying to convert old recipes for
microwave cooking. ..or just resort-
ing to guesswork. This control
method works on an entirely dif-
ferent basis—with aspecial elec-
tronic sensor that detects steam
and aromas from cooking food. The
oven “knows” how the food is
cooking; so it can automatically set
the correct cooking time and main-
tain the proper power level for dif-
ferent types and amounts of food.
And it’s adjustable to suit your indi-
vidual taste.
Easy to Use
Simply touch two control pads—
AUTO COOK and the desired Code
number—and then START. Achart
on the oven control panel gives a
list of Codes for frequently pre-
pared foods. The display shows
AUTO until steam is sensed and
then signals, and displays time
counting down. During AUTO, oven
should not be opened, but after
oven signals, door may be opened
to check foods if desired. Check the
Automatic Cooking Chart for
suggestions.
Appropriate containers and cover-
ings help assure good cooking
results. Containers should match in
size to the size of the food being
cooked. Coverings such as wax
paper, the lid that came with the
container, or microwave-safe plastic
domes are ideal. For examples of
containers and coverings, see page
10 and the following recipes.
Foods Recommended
Awide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-
roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods
can be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the
@food, cover securely, and do not open door while
AUTO appears on display.
Preference Control
With Preference Control, you can
adjust the Automatic Cooking Fea-
ture to your individual taste by
adding either “l” or “9’ after Code
number. If after trying the suggested
Code, you would prefer less cooking
time, simply add the number “l”
after the Code and the oven auto-
matically lessens the cooking time
by 20°/0. If you wish more cooking
time, add “9” after the Code to
increase cooking time by 20°/0.
Automatic Roasting
Automatic Roasting uses the tem-
perature probe rather than the elec-
tronic sensor to cook meats to the
desired degree of doneness. The
oven continually monitors the
food’s internal temperature. Unlike
ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levels two or
three times depending on the
degree of doneness during cooking
to give you the best results auto-
matically. After cooking the oven
switches automatically to Hold for
an hour. Food stays warm without
overcooking.
Foods Not Recommended
Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered,
or which require constant attention, or adding ingre-
dients during cooking should be microwaved by
TIME COOK. For foods that microwave best using
temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Foods requiring adry or crisp surface after
cooking cook best with TIME COOK.

How to Adapt Microwave
Casserole Recipes
To adapt your casserole recipes for
Automatic Cooking.
1. Select recipes that do not require
adding ingredients at different
stages during cooking or recipes
that require extra attention, stirring
or rotating.
2. Use microwave-safe containers
that are appropriate in size to the
food amount. Use 3qt. containers
or less.
3. For saucy casseroles, cover con-
tainer with lid or wax paper. (No
vents. )For cheese or crumb-topped
casseroles, remove cover after oven
signals and add topping, then con-
tinue cooking uncovered.
4. Allow precooked ingredients or
hot sauces to cool slightly before
adding other ingredients
5. Meats and vegetables should be
submerged in liquid.

Questions and Answers
Q. Why wasn’t my roast fully
cooked even though the tempera-
ture on the display was correct and
Auto Roast was completed.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast. Check your Cookbook to see
what you might have done wrong.
Q. Do some types of trivets work
better than others?
A. Yes. Flat glass trivets generally
provide more browning to the
bottom of meats than plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes usually work well.
Plastic trivets may require meat to
be turned over more often than
glass trivets do because the grid
design and legs let the bottom of
the meat stay cooler than glass
trivets do.
Q. When I’m cooking with Auto
Roast, why doesn’t my roast con-
tinue to cook during the holding
time?
A. When your food reaches finished
temperature, the oven automatically
switches to alower power level. The
even temperature that’s maintained
in the food during this holding
period keeps it warm without
overcooking.
