Questionsand Answers

prevent overcooking. Set the oven
for minimum time, test the food for
doneness, and cook your dish a
little longer, if necessary.

Qwstions and Answers
Q. Whatwillhappenif Iacciden-
tallyreversemydefrost,hold and
cook instructions?
A. The oven automatically rear-
ranges your program. Defrosting
always comes first, then hold, and
then the cooking function.
Q. CanIdefrostandhold only?
A. Yes.Sometimes you may only
want to defrost afood, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Defrost and amount of
time. Then program Hold and the
amount of time. Besure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe. -
Times willvary.
Q. Iprogrammedmy ovenfor
aspecificdefrostingtime but it
defrostedlongerthannecessary.
Whathappened?
A. When instructions conflict, ~he
oven carries out the last instruc!i!ion.
Youmay have set the oven to defrost
for 4minutes, hold for 2minutes,
and then defrost for 6minutes. In
this case, the oven would defrost
for 6minutes and hold for 2min-
utes and ignore your first defrost
instruction.

HowtoUseQUICKSET Control
The QUICK SET Control provides
ashortcut method for entering time
and the Power Levelon your micro-
wave oven. QUICK SET Codes are
only used for recipes which need
little or no attention, and which
require no change of power level
during cooking. Recipes which
require additional ingredients,
attention or change of power level
during microwaving should be
cooked in the usual manner. Also,
recipes with cooking time of less
than 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 sequence is. The first and
second numbers, if setting a3digit
Code, indicate the amount of time
you desire; the last control entry
number is always the Power Level.
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 is time,
the second is power level. For
example, 50 means 5minutes at
Power Level 10.
On the followingpage is shown
many frequently prepared foods
and their Codes. It’seasy,though,
to make Codes for manyother
recipes. Just selectone or twodigits
representing the lengthof cooking
time desired, and afinal digitfor
the PowerLevel required. The
Codes given on the guide are for the
minimum time needed to avoid
overcookingwhich can dry out
foodand make it tastelessand
tough. If you feelthat more
cookingis needed, add additional
time bychanging the first digitof
the Code. Youcannot add seconds
to the cycletime—Codesare for
wholeminutesonly.If yourrecipe e
callsfor Power Levelchanges or
different amounts of time needed e
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 microwavingby time
only. If you are microwaving by
temperature, you must use the
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
CLEAR/ OFF pad.

eCanningshouldbedoneon
cooktoponly.
In surface cooking of foodsother
than canning, the use oflargc-
diameter utensils (extendingmore
than l-inchbeyondedgeoftrim ring)
is not recommended. However,
when canning with water-bathor
pressure canner, large-diameter
utensils maybe used. This is
because boiling water temperatures
(evenunder pressure) are not
harmful to cooktop surfaces
surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE
LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS
OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER
UTENSILS FOR FRYING OR
BOILING FOODS Ol?HER
THAN WATER.Most syrupor
sauce mixtures—andall types of
frying—cookat temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
-temperatures could eventually
harm cooktop surfaces surrounding
heating units.
