1. For personalsafetythe oven must be properiy
grounded.See groundinginstructionson Page3of
this book
2. Cooking utensilsmay become hot because of
heat transferred from the heatedfood. This is espe-
cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be
needed.
3. Sometimes,theovenshelfcanbecometoohotto

4~$Bo~lable’*~~~~i~g pouchesand tightly closed
p~asticbags+should be slit, pricked or vented as di-
rected in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could
burst during or immediatelyafter cooking, possibly
resulting in injury, Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered becausethey
form atight seal. When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering
carefully and direct steam away from hands and
face.
5. Ronstdefrostfrozenbeveragesin narrow necked
bottles especiallycarbonated ones, Even if the con-
tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can

inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid
andturn on microwaveenergy,it cancreateelectrical
arcing in the oven,and damageovenwalls or shelf.
9. Remove wire twist4hm on paper and plastic
bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes

unlessin aspecial microwavepopcorn accessoryor
unless you use popcorn in apackage labeled for
microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated,
without theseprecautions,the container could catch
fire,
12. Use metai oniyas directedin cookbook.Metal
strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking
food when usedasdirected. Metaltrays maybe used
for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the
microwave oven, keep metai at ieast l-inch away
fromsidesofmicrowaveoven.
13, Do not use any thermometerin food you are –
microwavingunlessthat thermometeris designedor
recommendedfor usein themicrowaveoven.
14. Do not store fiammabiematerialsin an oven.
Also, do not use flammable fluids in the vicinity of

youroven.
15. Do not use your microwaveoven to dry news-
papers.If overheated,they cancatch fire.
16, Piastic IJtensiis-Plastic utensils designed for
microwave cooking are very useful, but should be
usedcarefully.Evenmicrowaveplastic maynot be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or
ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub-
jectedto short periods of overcooking, In longer ex-
posures to overcooking, the food and utensils may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
plasticsonly and use them in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.2) Do
not subjectempty utensilsto microwaving.3) Do not
permit children to use plastic utensils without com-
pletesupervision.
17. Don’toperatethe oven whileemptyin order to
prolong the life of the oven and save energy, If, by
accident,theovenshould run emptyaminuteor two,
noharmisdone.
18. Whencooking pork either convemtiormiiyor in
the microwave oven, follow our directions exactly
and aiways cook the meat to at least 17W. This
assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina
may bepresent in the meat,it will be killed and meat
will besafeto eat.

Q.Whydoesmyovenautomaticallycutoffafterthe
AUTOcyclewhenusingAutoCookContro\Code 1
whenitdoesnotforothersettings?
A.WhenusingCode 1,there is no second phaseof
minutes counting down. All the cooking is com-
plWedin the first phase or AUTO.
Q. If myfood is notcompletelycookedafterusing
the suggested Auto Cook Control Code, what
shouldIdO?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may req’uiresome
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
PowerLevel10for afewminutesuntil completion.
Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetables require a
standingperiodaftercookingw!thAUTOCOOK?
A, Mostvegetablesare cooked to acrisp.state dur-
ing Auto cook, just as in regular microwaving,
Therefore, it is recommendedthat you let the vege-
tables stand for up to 5minutesdepending on size
and density of pieces. This standing time also en-
hances the overall flavor and appearance of most
vegetables,
Q. What if Idm’t fully cover the dish in Auto
Cook?
A. Oven senses steam tgo quickly which shgrbqs
the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish.
Recovertightly and resetAuto Cook,
Q. 130the shapesand sizesof food makeadlffer-
erwewhenusingAutoCook?
A. Yes,in somecases,larger pieces will require ad-
ditional TimeCooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arm
rangementisoften asuccessfultip in regular micro=
waving.
Q. Should iuse Auto Cook to cuok pudding or
WXKXX3?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes require stirring
manytimesduring cooking: therefore, TimeCook is
recommendedsince you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affect=
ingend cooking results.
Q. My scalloped potatoes were not completely
cookedwhenIremovedthe $Ish afterAuto Cook.
Whatiswrong?
A. if you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the saucewith potatoes,there may have
been too much remaining moisture in the oven,
Make sure you dry the oven completely before us-
ing Auto Cook since this function operates properly
by sensing steam in the oven, Also, starting Auto
Cook with hot foods cre~tes steam in the oven too
soon,and decreasesthe first sensingcycle.
Q. Are thereany otherfoodswhichare best Time
Cooked,ratherthafiAutoCooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or
foods when adry or crisp surface% desirable, are
cooked bestbyTimeCoak.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetablesrequire water
whenusingAutoCook?
A. Yes.Add water as recommendedon chart to the
vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.
Q. Wouldmy piasticcontainerswithverytightfit-
tinglidsbeappropriatefor AutomaticCooking?
A, No, most types of plastic storagedishes,butter
tubs,etc.with tightfitting lidsarenotrecommended
for microwaving. Aiso tight fitting piastic lids may
prevent adequate steam from escaping and food
may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking,
CLItriedto warmsomechowmeinnoodlesusing
AutoCook.Whydidn’tthiswork?
A. Foodmusthavesomemoistureinordertocreate
steam which heips the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles,
potato chips and other such foods do not have
enough moisture,
Cl. May IuseAuto CookwhenIamcookingmany

A. No,becauseofdifferentfood densities,attention
neededduring cooking, andfood amounts,itis best
to useTIME COOK when cooking manyfoods. —

Q.Whywasmyroastnotfullycookedev~nthough
the temperatureon the readoutwas corre~tand
AutoRoastcompleted?
A. Whencooking with Auto Roast,the temperature
probe must be inserted properly as Wily described
in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotat-
ing, the probe should be checked to make sure it
hasn’tslippedor changed position,
Q. Lastthe IusedAutoRoastIremovedthe roast

reappeared,Why?
A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below
80”, or probe may have been repositioned, Con-
tinue roasting andnumberswillsoon reappear,
Q. Are there any particulartrivetsthat workbetter
thanothers?
A. Yes,flat glass trivets such as lids or dish covers
give more even cooking results than plastic trivets,
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed roasting dishes work
well. Plastic trivets require meat to be turned over
more frequently because the grid design and legs
allow the bottom of the meat to stay cooler as it
cooks,than glasstrivets do,
Q. Whydoesn’tthe roastcontinuecookingduring
thestandingorholdingtime?
A, The oven automatically reachesfinished temper-
ature and then decreasesto alower power level to
prevent overcooking. Thus an even temperature is
maintained,
