Microwaving Tips
●Make sure all utensils used in
your microwave oven arelab$led
%uitableformicrowaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test
to determine ’’microwave-safe”
utensils.
apaper towels, waxpaper, and
plastic wrap can beused tocover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
●Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook forspecific
instructions.
●Some foods such as unshelled
eggs and hotdogs must be pierced
toallow steamto escape during
cooki
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
When using electrical appliances
basic safety precautions should
be followed, including the
following:
WARNING—TO reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
●Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual.
●Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found on page 2.
●This appliance must be
grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
found on page 32.
●For best operation, plug this
appliance into it own electrical
outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, blowing of fuse or trip-
ping of circuit breaker.
●Install or locate this appliance
only ‘inaccordance with the pro-
vided installation instructions.
●Do not cover or block any
openings on the appliance.
●Do not use outdoors.
●Do not immerse power cord
or plug in water.
●Keep power cord away from
heated surfaces.
●Do not let power cord hang
over edge of table or counter.
●Do not operate this appliance
if it has adamaged power cord
or plug, if it is not working prop-
erly, or if it has been damaged
or dropped.
●This appliance should be ser-
viced only by qualified service
personnel. Contact nearest
authorized service facility for
examination, repair or
adjustment.
●As with any appliance, close
supervision is necessary when
used by children.
3
●See door cleaning instruc-
tions on page 28.
●To 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.
—Paper towels and napkins,
waxpaper. Recycled paper
products can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products con-
taining nylon filaments should
be avoided, as they may also
ignite.
—Do not use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Do not pop popcorn in your
microwave oven unless in aspe-
cial microwave popcorn acces-
sory or unless you use popcorn
labeled for use in microwave
ovens.
—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 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.
(continued next page)
—

IMPORTANT ‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
●Avoid heating baby food in
glass jars, even without their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
●Don’t defrost frozen Nver-
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.
●Use metal only as dire@ed in
Cookbook Metal strips a$ used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal tfays but when usinp shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep metal
(other than metal shelf) at least
l-inch away from sides of oven.
●Cooking utensils may
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 uten~il.
●Sometimes, the oven fl@r
can become too hot to touph.
Be careful touching the floor
during 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.
●Plastic Utensils—Plastic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are ve~ useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking co~di-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short p$riods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the faod
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1)Use micro-
wave plastics ‘only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturers
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supemision.
●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.
●Boiling eggs (in and out of
shell) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can buiid up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
●Foods 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.
●“Boilable” 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 shelf accessory.
(See your Cookbook 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 shejf. The
shelf could overheat. Use of
shelf with Automatic Cooking
feature is not recommended.
THE HOOD:
●Have it installed and properly
grounded by aqualified installer.
See the special installation book.
let packed with the microwave
oven.
●The vent fan in your Space-
maker@ oven will operate
automatically under certain
conditions (see Automatic Fan
Feature, page 7). While the fan is
operating caution is required to
prevent the starting and spread-
ing of accidental cooking fir=
while the vent fan is in use. For
this reason:
—Never leave surface unib
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite
and spread if vent fan is oper-
ating. To minimize automatic fan
operation, use adequate sized
utensils and use high heat set-
tings only when necessary.
—In the event of agrease fire,
smother flaming pan on surface
unit by covering pan completely
with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. .
—Never flame foods under the
oven with the vent fan operating
because it may spread the
flames.
—Keep hood and grease filters
ciean, according to instructions
on pages 27 and 29, to maintain
good venting and avoid grease
fires.

speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this
happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but
it will automatically turn off when the internal parts
have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approx-
imately 30 minutes after the range and microwave
oven controls have been turned off.

Questions
and Answers
Cl.
When Ipress START, Ihear 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 HIGH.
Q. Can IDefrost small items in a
hurry?
A. Yes, but they will need more fre-
quent attention than usual. Raise
the ‘ower Level after entering the
tifi ytouching POWER LEVEL
and 7or 10. Power Level 7cuts the
time in ~z;power Level 10 cuts the
time to lA. During either, rotate or
stir food frequently.
Q. Can Iopen the dcor during DE-
FROST 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 START.
Q. Why don’t the defrosting times
in the Cookbook seem right for my
food?
A. Cookbook times are average.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time in-
dicated in your Cookbook. If your
food is still not completely thawed
at the end of that time, re-set your
oven and adjust the time ac-
cordingly.
O. Can !seiect a?swer Level other
than au?omat!c %wer Level 3for
defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be
defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree de-
frosting, Power Level 3is sug-
gested. Check the chart in the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.
Q. When I’m entering minutes with
no seconds do Ineed to touch “O”
then “O”?
A. No. You touch the number pad
then the MIN Pad which automati-
cally enters two “00”.

Cooking by Temperature
For many foods, internal temperature is the best
test of doneness.
Roasts or poultry are cooked to perfection when
temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods
accurately to aserving temperature you desire is
simple and easy.
TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking
because the oven shuts off automatically when the
food is done.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is afood thermometer that
gauges the internal temperature of your food; it
must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO
ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion
on page 14. HANDLE

from the oven.
Cooking Tips
●Use alower power level setting;
it will heat more evenly even
th’bugh requiring more time.
●Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before insert-
ing probe. Probe may break off if
used in frozen foods.
. Always insert probe into the
center of meaty areas; take care
not to touch the fat or the bone.
.Insert probe as horizontally .
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food.
●Use the clip to keep the probe
in place while heating.
●Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating.
Questions
and Answers
Q. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, “ERROR” flashed
in the display and asignal
sounded. What is wrong?
A. “ERROR” flashes on display if
you set the temperature either be-
low 80° or greater than 1$9°. The
oven tells you between the flash-
ing of “ERROR” what the in-
correct entry was that you set. To
re-enter, touch CLEAR /C)FF pad
and begin steps again.
Q. Are there any foods Ican’?
TEMD CO~K7
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc.. soften rapidly at warm tem-
peratures. Batters and doughs as
well as frozen foods are also diffi-
cult to cook precisely with the
probe. It is best to TIME COOK
these foods.
Q. Why did “PROBE” flash on the
dispiay after Itouched Start?
A. “PROBE” wili fiash on the dis-
play if you have not securely
seated the end of the probe into
the receptacle in the oven wail or if
you touch TEMP COOK and have
forgotten to use the probe.
C2. c%? : “--,,
,==.e my probe in the
oven if it’s ‘c: inserted in the food?
A. No. If the probe is left inside the
oven, touching the oven wall, and
not inserted in food, you may dam-
age the oven.
Q. Can \TEMP CCC< different
portions of food at different
temperatures?
A. Yes. The temperature probe
gives you the freedom to cook dif-
ferent portions of food at different
temperatures to suit individual eat-
ing styles. Simply place the pro’
in the food and change the tell,
perature setting as needed.

Understanding Au@matic Cooking
Automatic cooking codes 1thftough 9are designed to
give you easy automatic res@ts with anumber of
foods.
Codes are arranged in lowest to highest amount of

c.ing power, Code 2gives more power than Code
1, Code 3increases power ovelr Code 2and so on.
The Preference Colntrol “
Another feature to give you nlore flexibility in Auto-
matic Cooking is the preference control, which can be
used to “fine tune” the power of Codes 2through 9. By
simply adding a 1 after aCode, you can set the oven to
cook using 20°h less time thar( the code would regu-
larly deliver. For example, if Code 4cooks your vege-
Codes &Preference Control
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. ACooking Chart and
recipes, starting on page 17 give many tested uses for
automatic cooking codes. Remembering that you can
adjust the power up or down by increasing or decreas-
ing the Code will give you added flexibility.
tables more done than you like them, set Code 41 next
time and you will get 20°/0 less cooking time.
Likewise, if you wish slightly more time than acode
delivers, add a9after the Code. For the vegetables in
the example above, Code 49 would provide 20°A more
time for cooking than would the regular Code 4.

Automatic Cooking Recipe Guide
.omatic Cooking Control is afully automatic
&lectronic control system thatt 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 truly new feature.
Standard cooking techniques require setting the
oven for aspecified cooking ~ime or aselected fin-
ished temperature. And that means looking up
recipes in acookbook. ..t~ing to convert old
recipes for microwave cookirtg. ..or just resorting
to guesswork. This control method works on an
entirely different basis—with aspecial electronic
sensor that detects steam fram cooking food. The
oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can
automatically set the correct cooking time and
maintain the proper power level for different types
and amounts of food. And it’s adjustable to suit
your individual taste.
Easy to Use
Simply touch two control pads—AUTO COOK and
the desired Code number—and then START. A
chart on the oven control panel gives acomplete
list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The
readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed
and then signals, and displaystime counting down.
P“ -ing AUTO, oven should not be opened, but
v. noven signals, most foo@ should be turned,
stirred, or rotated. Check the Automatic Cooking
Chart for suggestions. .
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good cooking results. Containers should match in
Foods Recommended
size to the size of the food being cooked. Coverings
such as plastic wrap secured on all sides, 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 recipe
section of this book.
Preference Control
With Preference Control, you can adjust the Auto-
matic Cooking Feature .to your individual taste by
adding either “l” or “9” after Code number. If after
trying the suggested Code, you would prefer less
cooking time, simply add the number “1” after the
Code and the oven automatically lessens the cook-
ing time by 200A. If you wish more cooking time, add
“9” after the Code to increase cooking time by 20W0.
Automatic Roasting
Automatic Roasting uses the temperature probe
rather than the electronic sensor to cook meats
evenly to the desired degree of doneness. The oven
continually monitors the food’s internal tempera-
ture. Unlike ordinary Temperature Cooking, the
oven changes power levels two or three times
depending on the degree of doneness during cook-
ing to give you the best results automatically. Meat
is cooked evenly, without toughening because lower
power Ieveis are used as the meat temperature rises
thus cooking meats eveniy whiie retaining the nat-
urai juices. After cooking, the oven switches auto-
matically to Hoid for an hour. Food stays warm
without overcooking.
