~ORTANT SA~W ~STRUCTIONS (continued)
● Do not touch he~ting elementa
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 cloting or other
flammable materials contact any
interior area of the
oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling,
first.
Potentially hot surfaces include
oven vent openings and surfaces
near the openings, crevices
around the oven door and the
edges of the door window.
Remember: The inside surface
of
the oven maybe hot when the
door is opened.
● When cooking pork, follow
the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an intern#
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 foHow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSU~ TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
● To reduce the risk of fire in
the oven cavity:
—Do not
overeook food.
Carefully attend appliance if
paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the
oven to facili@te cooting.
—Remove wire twist-ti~ from
paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
—Do not use yonr microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not use
recycled paper
producti. Recycled paper towels,
napkins and wax paper can
contain metal flecks which may
4
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 unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accesso~ 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.
● Do not use the oven for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food
in the oven when not in use.
* timaterials 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 glassjars-will
explode and should not be heated
in this oven.
* See door surface cleaning
instructions in the Care and
Cleaning section(s) of this book.
* Don’t defrost frozen beverages
in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages).
Even if the container is opened,
pressure
can build up, This can
cause the container to burst,
possibly resulting in injury.
* Use metal only as directed in –
this book and the 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
shel~ 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 an
become too hot to touch. Be
careful touching the floor during
and after cooking.
● 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
in use. 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.
● Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their lids;
especially meat and egg mixtures.
c Do not boti eggs in a microwave
oven. Pressure will build up inside
the egg yolk and will cause it to
burst, possibly resulting in injury.
● Foods with unbroken outer
“skin” such as potatoes, sausages,
tomatoes, apples, chicken livers
and other giblets, and egg yolks
should be pierced to allow steam –
to escape during cooking.

● Plastic Cookwa~Plastic
cookware designed for microwave
cooking is very useful, but
shotid
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,
● Not all plastic wrap is suitabie
for use in microwave ovens.
Check the package for proper use,
c “Boilable” cooking pouchm
and tightly closed plastic bags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed on
the package. If they
are not, plastic could burst daring
or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury,
Also,
plastic storage containen should be
at
least pard~y uncovered because
they form a tight seal, Men
cooking with containers tighdy
covered with plastic wrap, remove,
covering carefully and direct
steam away from hands and
face.
* Hot foods and stm can
cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot
food, including popcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To
prevent possible injury, direct
steam away from hands and face.
● Foods cooked in liquids (such
as pasta) may tend to boil
ov~r
more rapidly than foods
containing less moisture. Should
this occur, refer to pages 48 and
49 for instructions on how to
clean the inside of the oven.
● Spontaneous boiling—Under
certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or
shortly after 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 DUTYTM
shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
—DO nOt StOW Or cook with
sheW on floor of oven. Product
damage may result.
—Use pot holders when
handling
the shelf and
cookware. They may be
hot
—Do not use microwave
browning dish on shelf. The
sheti could overheat. Use of the
shelf with Automatic Cooking
feature is
not recommended.
Self-Cl,mAng Lower Oven:
● Stand away from the oven
when opening oven door. The
hot air or steam which esmpes
can cause burns to hands$ face
tintior eyes.
● Don’t h~at unopened faod
containen in the oven. Pressure
codd bdd up and the container
cotid burst, causing an i~ury.
● Keep oven vent ducts
unobstructed.
* Keep oven free from grease
buildup.
* Place oven .she~ in desired
position while oven is coal. If
shelves must be handled when
hot, do not let pot holder contact
heating units in the oven.
* ~ling 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.
● Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated, they
can catch fire.
* Do not store anything in your
oven. These items may catch fire,
and plastic items may melt.
Mways keep the oven clear and
free of items that may burn.
● Do not line oven bottom with
a)uminum foil. Do not use
aluminum foil except as
suggested in this book
(SW page 48).
s Do not clean door gasket
before reading special
c~eaning
instructions on page 45. 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 cteaner or oven
liner protective
coating of any
kind
should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
● Clean o~y parts listed in this
Use and Care Book.
● Before se~=cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan and other
cookware,
+ Listen for fan—a fan noise
should be heard sometime during
the cleaning cycle. If not, call for
service before self-cleaning again.

● 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 a minute or two,
no harm is
done, However, try to
avoid operating the oven empty at
dl times—it saves energy and
prolongs the life of the oven.

● Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
listen for the beep and put food in
the oven promptly after the oven is
preheated.
● 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 amount of time.
● Use residual heat in oven
whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven reeds,
etc. You may also add rolls or
precooked desserts to warm oven,
using residual heat to warm them.
~crowating ~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.
men Power is
Connected to the
Oven
When power is first connected
your cooking center or after a
power failure of any kind, the
digital display on both the

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 food, hold it and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Time Defrost and the
amount of time. Then program .
Hold and the amount of time. Be
sure to put the thawed dish in the
refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork,
should not be allowed to sit out for
more than one hour before or after
cooking. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
Q. 1 programmed my oven for a
specific defrosting time but it
defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last
instruction. You may have set the
oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold
for 2 minutes, and then defrost for
6 minutes. In this case, the oven
would defrost for 6 minutes and
hold for 2 minutes.

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 the cookbook for defrosting
help.
To become better acquainted with
the defrost function, defrost a 10
oz. package of frozen
strawbemies
by following the steps below.
Step 1: Place package of frozen
strawbemies in the oven and close
door. Be sure package contains no
metal.
Step 2: Touch the TIME
DEFROST pad.
Step 3: Select one-half of the total
defrosting time recommended in
the cookbook. For example, touch
3,0 and O pads for 3 minutes.
Display shows
“3:007’ and
“POWER 3.“ “DEF TIME”
flashes. If you wish to change
power
level, touch the POWER
LEVEL pad and then new number.
Step 4: Touch the START pad.
“DEF TIME” and time, counting
down, show on display. When cycle
is completed, the oven signals and
display flashes “End.” The oven
then automatically shuts off.
Step 5: Turn package over, close
door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to
set remaining half of defrosting
time. Touch the START pad.
Step 6: When oven signals and
display 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. Remove from foil
container and place in a
microwave-safe dish.
● For even defrosting, some foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the
defrosting time.
● Check the 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 half;
power level 10 cuts the total
defrosting time to approximately
one-third. During either, rotate or
stir foods frequently.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting
times in the cookbook seem right
for my food?
A. Defrosting times are averages.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indicated
in the 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 the START pad. The
oven begins operating if time is
left on timer. If not, reset timer.

Questions and Answers
Q. I set my oven for the time
called for in the recipe, but at the

A. Since house power varies due to
time or location, many Time Cook
recipes give you a time range to
prevent overcooking. Set the oven
for the minimum time, test the
food for doneness, and cook your
food a little longer, if necessary.

Cooting by Temperature
Internal temperature is the best
test of doneness for many foods.
Temp
Coo~old takes the
guesswork out of cooking because
the oven automatically switches to
“HOLD” setting after reaching the
selected food temperature, and
maintains that temperature until
you open the door or touch the
CLEAWOFF pad.
The Temperature Probe
Sensor Handle Cable
i-
The temperature probe is a food
thermometer that gauges the
internal temperature of your food.
The probe must be used when
using Temp
Coo~old or Auto
Roast. To use your probe properly
in a roast, follow directions in the
Automatic Roasting section.
How to Temp Cook a
Rolled Beef Rib Roast to
Medium
Step 1: Insert temperature probe
into roast and seat cable end of
probe securely into the receptacle
in the oven wall. Close the door.
Step 2: Touch TEMP
COOWHOLD pad.
Step 3: Touch 1,2 and 5 for
125°F.
Step 4: Touch POWER LEVEL
pad. “ENTER POWER” flashes on
the display. Touch 5 for medium
power.
Step 5: Touch the START pad. If
internal temperature of the roast is
less than 80°F., display will show
“COOL”; if temperature is 80°F. or
above, display will show
temperature, counting up.
Step 6: When
125°F. is reached,
the oven will sound and display
will show “HOLD.” The oven will
then hold the temperature.
Step 7: Touch the CLEAWOFF
pad to stop the cycle.
Step 8: Remove probe and food
from the oven.
Cooking Tips
● Use a lower power level; foods
will heat 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. After I followed the steps and
touched the START pad,
“ERROR” flashed on the display
and a signal sounded. What’s
wrong?
A. “ERROR” flashes if you set the
temperature either below 80°F. or
above
199°F. The oven tells you,
between the flashing of “ERROR,”
what incorrect entry was made. To
re-enter, touch CLEAWOFF pad
and begin again.
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 on
the display 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
COO~OLD 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,
it may damage the oven.

Automatic Romting
Auto Roast uses the temperature
probe to cook to the desired
serving temperature. Unlike
Temp Coo~old, which uses a
single power level, 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
that comes with your oven.
Preparing Roas@ for
Auto Roasting
Place tender beef roast on trivet in
microwave-safe dish. Insert probe
horizontally into the center meaty
area without 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
and cover with plastic wrap. Allow
room for probe when covering.

steam that escapes as food
microwaves, this feature
automatically adjusts the oven’s
cooking time to various types
and amounts of food.
Because most cooking containers
must be covered during automatic

foods that you want to steam or
retain moisture. See page 23 for
containers and covers recommended
for automatic cooking.
Easy to Use
Simply touch three control pads—

from food.
Keep Door Closed
Do not open the oven door while
the word “AUTO” is displayed—
steam escaping from the oven can
affect cooking performance. If the
door is opened, the word
“ERROR” appears. Close the door
and touch START immediately.
Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention,
foods that require addition of ingredients during cooking, and foods calling
for a dry look or crisp surface after cooking should not be Auto Cooked. It is
best to Time Cook them.
Foods that microwave best using the temperature probe should be
