Just as in conventional roasting,
only tender roasts should be Auto
Roasted until specifiedinternal
temperatures are reached. Less
tender roasts should be microwaved
by time, according to the Cookbook
which comes with your oven. Com-
plete information on preparing
roasts for microwaving is in your
Cookbook.
How toPrepareRoasts
for Auto Roasting
Place tender beef roasts on trivet in
microwave-safe dish. Insert probe
from the front horizontally into
center meaty area not touching
bone or fat. Cover with wax paper.
Poultry, pork or ham roasts need
no trivet. Add %cup water to roast
dish, cover with plastic wrap. (For
cooking bag method, see Cook-
book.) Insert probe into center
meaty area.
Place meat in oven with probe to
the right. Insert cable end of probe
firmly into receptacle on oven wall.

Q.why wasn’tmy roastfully
cooked eventhoughthe tempera-
tureon the displaywas correctand
Auto Roast wascompleted.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast. Check your Cookbook to
seewhat you might have done
erong.
Q. Do some types of trivetswork
etterthan 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 glasstrivets do
because the grid design and legslet
the bottom of the meat stay cooler
than glass trivets do.

Q. WhenI’mcooking withAuto

tinueto cook duringthe holding
time?
A. When your food reaches fin-
ished temperature, the oven auto-
matically switchesto alower power
level.The even temperature that’s
maintained in the food during this
holding period keeps it warm
without overcooking.

How to Use QUICKSETContiol
The QUICK SET Control provides
ashort-cut method for entering
time and the Power Levelon your
microwave oven. QUICK SET
Codes are only used for recipes
which need little or no attention,
and which require no change of
power levelduring cooking.
Recipes which require additional
ingredients, attention or change of
power levelduring microwaving
should be cooked in the usual
manner. Also, recipeswith cooking
time of lessthan one minute or
more than 99 minutes cannot use
Codes.
To understand the QUICK SET
Code control, it is important to
know what the numbers mean and
what the sequenceis. The first and
second numbers, if setting a3digit
Code, indicate the amount of time
you desire; the last control entry
number isalways the Power Level.

QUICK SET Control
Programming your oven for
QUICK SET Control operation is
easy. Follow these simplesteps.
Step 1:Touch QUICK SET.
ENTER CODE flashes.
For example, 125means 12minutes
at Power Level5. NOTE: Your
oven can only be programmed to
99 minutes when using the QUICK
SET control and the highest Power
Levelis 10which is represented by
“O”.When setting a2digit QUICK
SET control entry, the first istime,
the second is power level. For
example, 50 means 5minutes at
Power Level 10.
On the following page is shown
many frequently prepared foods
and their codes. It’seasy, though,
to make Codes for many other
recipes. Just select one or two digits
representing the length of cooking
time desired, and afinal digit for
the Power Level required. The
Codes given on the chart are for the
minimum time needed, to avoid
overcooking which can dry out food
and make it tasteless and tough.
If you feel that more cooking is
For Example:
Step2:Enter the proper code. For
example, arecipe calling for 12min-
utes cooking time at Power Level
needed, add additional time by
changing the first digit of the Code.
You cannot add seconds to the
cycletime—Codes are for whole
minutes only. If your recipe calls
for Power Levelchanges or dif-
ferent amounts of time needed
between addition of ingredients,
you may set one Code for the first
part of the recipe, then after com-
pletion, set another Code for that
period of time and Power Level.
Remember that QUICK SET
Codes are for microwaving by time
only. If you are microwaving by
temperature, you must usethe Temp
Cook or Auto Roast function.
When the oven completes QUICK
SET program, it automatically
shuts off. It willthen display “End”
and beep once aminute until you
either open the door or touch the

OvenforRoasting
See Roasting Charton page21.
Step 1: Check the weight of the
meat and place, fat sideup, on
the rack in the broiler pan that
came with your range. This helps
the meat to baste itself.
Step 2: Use shelf position “A” or
“B”;or the one indicated on
Roasting Chart, page 21. Place
Oven Shelf on correct embossed
shelfsupport. For very tall roasts, “
remove second oven shelf.
Step 3: Turn the OVEN TEMP
Knob to 325°.(The exception is
small poultry which is roasted at
3750.)
Step 4: Close the oven door and
turn the OVEN SET Knob to
BAKE. Oven “On” Light comes
on and stays on until OVEN SET
Knob is turned to OFF. Oven
Cycling Light comes on and
remains on until temperature is
reached.
Step 5: Place your meat inside the
oven, making sure the pan is not
touching the oven walls or door.
Step 6: Turn off the heat when the
roasting cycle is complete.
CookingTips
~Besure meat is cooked to your
satisfaction. Most meats continue
to cook slightlywhile standing after
being removed from the oven. This
should be taken into consideration
when determining your cooking
time.
@Alwaysuse aroasting pan that
fits the size of your meat. Aroast
placed in apan too smallfor its size
willdrip over the edge.
*Youmay cook frozen meat roasts
without thawing. However, you
m’ustallow more cooking time. For
large roasts, add 10-25minutes per
pound. For roasts under 5pounds,
add 10minutes per pound.
sTo slow down surfacebrowning
onturkeys, you can useafoil “tent”.
The tent-shaped foil should be laid
loosely over the poultry so the heat
can circulate under the foil.
@Most frozen poultry should be
thawed before cooking to ensure it
is done evenly. Some, however, can
be cooked successfullywithout
thawing. Check the packer’slabel
for specificdirections.
Howto setYom
ovenforBroiting
See BroilingCharton page220
Step 1:Place the meat on the
broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so fat drips
into the broiler pan.
Step 2: Position oven shelf as indi-
cated on Broiling Chart, page 22.
Step 3: Turn the OVEN SET Knob
and OVEN TEMP Knob to BROIL.
Both Oven Indicator Lights
come on.
Step 4: Leave oven door ajar about
3inches(except chicken, seebelow).
The door will stay open itself yet
the proper tempe~atfirewill be
maintained in the oven. During
cooking, turn the food only once.
Step 5: Turn OVEN SET Knob to
OFF and serve food immediately.
Leave the pan outside the oven to
cool during the meal for easy
cleaning. @
(hoking Tips
/?
@Foil may be used to line the
broiler pa~ and rack. However, be
sure to cut openings in the foil to
correspond with the slits in the
broile~rack so fat drips into the
pan below.
@For all weights of chicken, broil
with door clo~ed.
@Placing food closer to the top of
the oven increases smoking, spat-
tering, exterior browning on the
meat and the possibility of food fat @
catching on fire. Always keep rack
3-5 inches from the broiling unit. e
