potential exposure to
such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in
self-clean ovens gives off a very
small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open window or
using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances

●
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.
hwer
Oven
●
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.
Q
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.
c
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.
Microwaving
~ps
●
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
glme
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.
●
Paper 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.
●
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.

Defrosting
—
Time Defrost is designed for
speedy thawing of frozen food
and is one of the great advantages
of a microwave oven.
●
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 frozen
pork chops by following the steps
below.
Step 1:

Defrosting
~ps
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
●
For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
Q
Family-size, pre-packaged
frozen entrees can be defrosted
and microwaved. Remove from
foil container and place in a
microwave-safe dish.
● Check your cookbook for other
defrosting tips.
Questions and Answers
Q. When I press the START pad,
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 10cutsthetotaldefrosting
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 quicHy
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 the START pad. The
oven begins operating if time is left
on the timer. If not. reset the timer.

Automatic
RoastiW
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 resulh 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.
Eeparing
Roask for
Auto Roasting
Place tender beef roast on trivet in
microwave-safe dish. Insert probe
horizontally into the center meaty
area not touching bone or fat. Make
sure the handle does not touch the
food or top or sides of the oven.
Cover with wax paper.
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
firml~ into receptacle on oven wall.

Cooking
~ps
● Use a lower power level; it will
heat foods more evenly though
requiring more time.
. 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 TEMP
COOWHOLD pad and forget to use
the probe.
Q. Can I leave the probe in the
oven if it’s not inserted in
food?
A. No,
if the probe touches the
oven wall, it may damage the oven.

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 the START pad,
however, my oven didn’t come on.
Why not?
A.
Before setting the time on the
number pads, touch the TIME

When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should be served hot must be placed
on the oven shelf, while foods which
are

warmed should be placed on
the floor. This is because microwave
energy enters the oven from the top
ordy.
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 more 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

time in your new oven, use time
given on recipe as a guide. Many
oven thermostats “drift” from the
factory setting after a number of
years. As a result, differences in
timing between an old and a new
oven of5 to 10 minutes are not
unusual and you may be inclined to
think that the new oven is not
performing correctly. However,
your new oven has been set
correctly at the factory and is apt to
be more accurate than the oven it
replaced.
How to Set Your Range
for Baking
Step 1:
Place food in oven. Be
certain to leave about 1 inch of space
between cookware and walls of oven
for good circulation of heat. Close
oven door. During baking, avoid
frequent door openings to prevent
undesirable results.
Step
2: Turn OVEN SET knob to
BAKE and OVEN
TEMP
knob to
temperature on recipe or in Baking
Guide.
Step
3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time given on recipe.
Cook longer if necessary. Switch off
heat and remove foods.
How to Time Bake
The Conventional oven timer control
allows you to turn the oven on or off
automatically at specific times that
you set.
Emples
of Immediate Start
(oven turns on now and you set it to
turn off automatically) or Delay Start
and Stop (setting the oven to turn on
automatically at a later time and
turn
offat
a preset stop time) will be
described.
How to Set Immediate
Start and Automatic Stop
N~E:
Before beginning make sure
the oven clock shows the correct
time of day.

How to Set Delay
Stirt
and Stop
Delay Start and Stop is setting the
oven timer to turn the oven on and
off automatically at a later time than
the present time of day.
For example: Let’s say it’s 2:00 and
dinner time is shortly after
7:00.
The recipe suggests 3 hours baking
time at
250°F.
Here’s how:
Step 1:
Turn OVEN SET knob to
TIME BAKE. Turn OVEN
TEMP
knob to
250°F.
or recommended
temperature.
Step
2: Touch BAKE TIME pad.
Time of day remains on display and
“ENTER BAKE TIME” and”: O“
appear.
Step
3:
Touch number pads 3,0 and
O for 3 hours baking time.
“BAKE TIME” and”3
:00”
are
displayed.
Step
4: Touch STOP TIME pad.
“ENTER BAKE STOP TIME” and
“: O“ appear on display.
Step
5: Touch number pads 7,0 and
O to enter
7:00
for the time you want
the oven to turnoff.
“7:00” and “BAKE STOP TIME”
are displayed.
Step
6: Touch START pad. The
oven automatically figures the start
time so oven will turn off when you
want baking to be completed.
“4:00” and “BAKE START TIME”
are displayed. In this example,
baking will begin at
4:00
and oven
will turn off at
7:00.
men
baking time is completed, oven
signals, displays “END BAKE”
and oven shuts off.
Step
7: Touch CLEAR pad, open
door and remove food from oven.
Remember, food will continue to
cook in a hot oven even after it is
turned off.
Note: “E EE” appears on display
when you touch START if you have
set a stop time that is less than the
time of day plus the bake time.
Touch CLEAR and begin again.
