aUse 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.
Microwaving Tips
●Make sure all utensils used in
your microwave oven are labeled
“suitable for microwaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test
to determine “microwave-safe”
utensils.
sPaper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
sSome microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions.
●Some foods such as unshelled
eggs and hot dogs must be pierced
to allow steam to escape during
cooking.
When Power is Connected
to the Oven
The panel displays five 8s and
18 POWER on the upper portion
and all of the oven functions on the
lower portion. After 15 seconds, all
lights disappear and “RESET”
appears in the upper portion. Touch
the CLEAR/OFF pad and oven is
ready for use and the clock can
be set.
If power is disrupted at any time,
the above sequence reoccurs, and
you must reset CLOCK after
touching CLEAR/OFF.

or unattended in area where
appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
JDon’taiiow anyone to ciimb,
stand or hang on the door. They
couid damage the oven.
~CAUTiON: DO N~ S70RE
ITEMS OF iNTEREST ~
CHiLDREN IN CABINETS
ABOVE AN OVEN—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE OVEN TO
REACH ITEMS COULD BE
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
~Wear proper ciothing. 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 oniy dry pothoiders—
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.
JNever use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
~Do not store fiammabie mate-
riais in the oven.
~Keep hood and grease fiiters
dean to maintain good venting
and to avoid grease fires.
IDo not iet cooking grease or
other flammabie materiais accu-
mulate in the oven or near it.
~Do not use water on grease
fires. Fiame in oven can be
smothered by completely
closing door and touching
CLEARIOFF.
2Do not touch heating eie-
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 any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient
time for cooling, first.
Other potentially hot surfaces
include the oven vent openings
and surfaces near the open-
ings, crevices around the oven
door and the edges of the door
window.
Remember The inside surface
of the oven may be hot when the
door is opened.
~When 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.

Mikxw%wi? 2W?3:
JRead and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
JTo 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.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operate the ovenwhile
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.
~Some products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glass jars-may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
See door surface cleaning
instructions on page 48.
.
IDon’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.
3Use metal only as directed in
Cookbook. Foil strips as usedon
meatroastsare helpfulwhen used
asshown 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
the microwave oven, bep metal
(other than metal shelf) at least
1inch away from sides of oven.
~Cooking utensilsmay
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.
3Sometim~ the ovenfloor
can become too-hotto touch.
Be careful touching the floor
durihg and after cooking.
~Do not use any thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
~Remove 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.
~Boiiing 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.
~Poods 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
aPlastic Utensiis—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.
e“Boilabie”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
beat 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’”
shelf accessory. (See your Cook-
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.

A. The Minute/Second Timer can
be used during any cooking
function.

Automatic Cooking in
The AUTO COOK pad may be used
to eliminate your need to look up
cooking time in the Cookbook or
guessing how long to set cooking
time. By actually sensing the steam
and aroma which escape as food
microwaves, this feature automati-
cally adjusts the oven’s cooking
time to various types and amounts
of food.
After touching the AUTO COOK
pad, desired Code number and
START, you will see the word AUTO
on the display, which indicates that
the sensor has been activated to
MATCH THE AMOUNT OF FOOD lU
Your Microwave Oven
sense steam and aroma from the
food. To prevent the escape of
steam and aroma from the oven,
do not open the door while the
word AUTO is on the display. If
door is opened, ERROR appears.
Close door and touch START
immediately.
Setting 1, which is designed for
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 15.
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
DUTV” shelf with Automatic
~ooking is not recommended.
THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINER. FILL CONTAINERS AT LEAST 1/2FULL.
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.
Use oblong or square containers for
chicken or corn on the cob. Cover
with wax paper or loose plastic to
prevent spattering.
Do not use paper plates with 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.).
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 22, Frozen Food in Metai 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.

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
incre~es power over Code 2and
so on.
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 add-
ing a 1 after aCode, you can set the
oven to cook using 20°/0less time
than the code would regularly
deliver. For example, if Code 4cooks
your vegetables more done than
you like them, set Code 41 next
time and you will get 20°/0less
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% more time for
cooking than would the regular
Code 4.
Touch AUTO COOK Pad. “Enter
Code” flashes on display.
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 15 give many tested uses
for automatic cooking codes.
Touch number pads 4and 1in that
order. Code 4shows and “Start”
flashes on display.
Touch 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?
LWhen 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
m-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?
LMost vegetables are cooked to a
crisp state during Auto Cook, just
as in regular micr~waving. 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?
&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?
AY*, 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. Shouid I use Auto Cook to cook
pudding or sauces?
AMost pudding and sauce recipes
require stirring many times during
cmking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not
open the door during the AUTO
phase of cooking without affecting
end cooking resuits.
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
toq 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 cycie.
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
require water when using Auto
Cook?
ALYes. Add water to the vegetables
as recommended on chart and cover
well for even, complete cooking.
Q. Wouid my piastic containers with
very tight fitting lids be appropriate
for Automatic Cooking?
ANo, moat types of piastic storage
dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight
fitting iids 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?
AFood must have some moisture
in order to create steam which helps
the auto sensor function. Extremeiy
dry foods such as chow mein noo-
dles, potato chips and other such +’
foods do not have enough moisture.
Q. Shouid I use Auto Cook when I
am cooking many foods in more
than one dish or casseroie?
ANo, because of different food
densities, attention needed during
cooking, and food amounts, it is
best to use Time Cook when
cooking many foods.

Automatic Cooking Recipe Guide
Automatic Cooking Control is a
fully 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...
ttying to convert old recipes for
microwave cooking. ..or just resoR-
ing to guesswork. This control
method works on an entirely dif-
ferent basis-with aspecial elec-
tronic sensor that detects steam
and aromas fro-mcooking 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
12 and the following recipes.
Preference Control
With Preference Control, you can
adjust the Automatic Cooking Fea-
turo to ywr individual taste by
adding either “l” or ’9’ after Code
number. If aftertrying 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%. If you wish more cooking
time, add “9” after the Code to
increase cooking time by 20%
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 ordi-
nary 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 automatically.
After cooking the oven switches
automatically to Hold for an hour.
Food stays warm without
overcooking.

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.
