MicrowavingTips
@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.
ePapertowels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
eSome 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. o

ENERGY” found on page 2.
~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.
—Do not useyour microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Paper towels and napkins,
wax paper. Recycled paper
products can contain metal
flecks which may cause arcing
or ignite. Paper products con-
taining nylon or nylon filaments
should be avoided, asthey may
also ignite.
—Do not pop popcornin your
microwaveovenunless in a
special microwave popcorn
accessory or unless
popcorn labeled for
microwave ovens.

—Do notoperatethe ovenwhile
emptyto avoiddamageto the
ovenandthe dangerof 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 savesenergy and pro-
longs life of the oven.
—If materials inside the oven
should ignite, keepoven door
closed,turn oven off, and dis-
connect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
eSome p~oductssuch as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glassjars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
~Avoidheatingbabyfood in
glassjars, evenwithout their
lids; especially meat and egg
mixtures.
eSeedoor surface cleaning
instructions on page 20.
eDon’tdefrostfrozenbever-
agesin narrow necked bottles;
especially carbonated ones.
Evenif the container is opened,
pressure can build up. This can
causethe container to burst,
resulting in injury.
~Use metalonlyas directedin
Cookbook.Metal strips as used
on meat, roasts are helpful when
used asshown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays. However, when
using metal in microwave oven,
keep metal(exceptfor DOUBLE
DUTYTMshelf)at leastl-inch
awayfromsidesof oven.
~Cookingutensilsmay
becomehot 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.
sSometimes,the ovenfloor
can becometoo hot to touch. @
Be careful touching the floor
during and after cooking. o
sDo not useanythermometer
in food you are microwaving
unlessthat thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
~Removethetemperature
probefrom the ovenwhen not
~singit to cook with. If you leave
the probe insidethe 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.
~Boilingeggs(in and out of
shell)isnot recommendedfor
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
~Foodswith unbrokenouter
“skin”such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages,tomatoes, @
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (seeabove)
should be pierced to allow e
steam to escape during cooking.
~PlasticLJtensils-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 co-mpliancewith
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. a

Conventional
Oven Cooking
~Preheatthe oven only when
necessary.Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the oven promptly
after the light goes out.
@Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
@Don’t open the oven door any
more often than necessaryduring
baking. If you do haveto open it,
close it as soon as possible.
@$Be sure to wipe up excessspill-
age before self-cleaning operation.
@Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables,and
some dessertswill cook together
with amain-dish casserole,meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the sametem-
perature in approximately the same
time.
~Use residual heat in oven when-
ever possible to finish cooking cas-
seroles, oven meals,etc. Also add
rolls or precooked dessertsto warm
oven, using residual heat to warm
them.

Questions
andAnswers
Q. 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
frequent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by touching POWER LEVEL
and 7 or 10. Power Level 7cuts the
time about in %; Power Level 10
cuts the t~meto approximately I/s.
During either, rotate or stir food
frequently.
Q. Can Iopen the door 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.
Q. Can Iselect a-Power Level other ~rf
than automatic Power Level 3for mB
defrosting?
A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be Lm
defrosted quicker on higher Power -f 6
Levels but for even, carefree de- -m

eratures. 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. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, asignal sounded
and oven did not start. What is
wrong?
A. If you set the temperature either
below 80° or greater than 199° the
oven will not start. To re-enter,
touch CLEAR/OFF pad and begin
steps again.
Q, Oven sounded and would not
start although Ientered the temp-
erature correctly. What is wrong?
A. If you have not securely seated
the end of the probe into the
receptacle in the oven wall, if you
touch TEMP COOK and have for-
gotten to use the probe or if the
actual food temperature is higher
than set temperature, oven will
sound and not start.
Q. Can Ileave my probe in the
oven if it’s not 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. How do Iknow what tempera-
ture to set?
A. Your Cookbook contains sec-
tions on all types of foods showing
the temperatures needed to cook
the foods to different degrees of
doneness. For reheating, refer to
Reheating Charts in the front e
of the Cookbook for specific
temperatures. e

Howto Usethe Hold/Timer
Your HOLD/TIMER, which oper-—
eates without microwave ene’rgy,
has three timing functions.
It operates as aMinute” Timer, it
can be set to delay cooking or may
be used as ahold setting after de-
frosting. Hold/Timer can be set up
to 99 minutes.
Step 1: Touch HOLD/TIMER pad.
The display shows :0. Signal light
above HOLD/TIMER flashes.
Step 2: Select the amount of time
you desire. Touch the appropriate
number pads. If, for example, you
are timing athree minute phone
call, touch 3, 0, and O.The display
shows 3:00.
Step 3: Touch START. The readout
display shows the time as it counts
down.
Step 4: When time is up, oven will
signal and display will show time
of day.
The HOLD/TIMER can also be
used to program “standing time”
between microwave cooking func-
tions. The time can range from one
second to 99 minutes and 99 sec-
onds. AHOLD, or “standing” time
may be found in some of your own
recipes or Cookbook.
To set the oven to delay cooking
up to 99 minutes follow Steps 1
and 2 to enter hold time, then set
Time Cook and time, or Temp

Questions
andAnswers
Q. What will happen if Iacciden-
tally reverse the instructions?
A. If you accidentally reverse the
sequence of programming instruc-
tions, your oven automatically
rearranges your program. Defrost-
ing always comes first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. Iprogrammed my oven for a
specific defrosting time but it de-
frosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruc-
tion. You may have s,etthe oven to
Defrost for 4minutes, Hold/Time
for 2minutes, and then Defrost for
6minutes. In this case, the oven
would Defrost for 6minutes and
Hold/Time for 2minutes.
Q. Can IDefrost-Hold only on my
oven?
A. Yes, for foods you don’t want
to cook, like frozen fruit, frozen
whipped topping, etc.—refer to
Cookbook.
NOTE: Allow foods to remain at
room temperature only as long as
safe. Times will vary.

Questions
andAnswers
Q. Are there any particular trivets
that work better than others?
A. Yes,flat glass trivets such as lids
or dish covers generally give more
even cooking results than plastic
trivets. Also, ceramic ridge-
bottomed roasting dishes usually
work well. Plastic trivets generally
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 glass trivets do.

Howto use Quicksetcontrol
The Quick Set control provides ashort-cut method
for entering time and the Power Level on your micro-
wave oven. Cooking 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 in power !evel during microwaving should be
cooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with cook-
ing time of less than one minute or more than 99
minutes can not use Cooking Codes.
To understand the Quick Set control, it is important
to know what the numbers mean and what the
sequence ‘is.The first and second numbers, if set-
ting a3 digit Code, indicate the amount of time you
desire; the last control entry number is always the
Power Level. For example, 125 means 12 m“inutesat
Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can only be pro-
grammed to 99 minutes when using the Quick Set
control and the highest Power Level is 10 which is
represented by “O”. When setting a 2 digit Code
entry, the first is time, 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’s easy, though,
to make Quick Set codes for many other recipes.
Just select one or two digits representing the length
of cooking time desired, and a final digit for the
Power Level required. The Codes given on the chart
are for the minimum time needed, to avoid over-
cooking which can dry out food and make it taste-
less and tough. If you feel that more cooking is
needed, add additional time by changing the first
digit of the Code. You cannot add seconds to the
cycle time—Codes are for whole minutes only. If
your recipe calls for Power Level changes 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 completion, set another
Code for that period of time and Power Level.
Remember that Quick Set codes are for micro-
waving by time only. If you are microwaving by
temperature, you must use the Temp Cook or Auto
Roast function.

CookingTips
@Foil may be used to line the
broiler pan and rack. However,
be sure to cut openings in the
foil to correspond with the slits
in the broiler rack so fat drips
into the pan below.
~For all weights of chicken, broil
with door closed.
@Placing food closer to the top
of the oven increases smoking,
spattering, exterior browning
on the meat and the possibility
of food fat catching on fire. Al-
ways keep rack 3-5 inches
from the broiling unit.
HowtoSetYourRangefor Roasting
(Alsosee Roasting Chart, page 24=)
Step 1: Check the weight of the
meat and place, fat side up, on the
rack in the broiler pan that came
with your range. This helps the
meat to baste itself.
Step 2: Position oven shelf on

CookingTips
Be sure meat is cooked to your
satisfaction. Most meats con-
tinue to cook slightly while
standing after being removed
from the oven. This should be
taken into consideration when
determining your cooking time.
Always use aroasting pan that
fits the size of your meat. A
roast placed in a pan too small
for its size will drip over the
edge.
You may cook frozen meat
roasts without thawing. How-
ever, you must allow more
cooking time. For large roasts,
add 10-25 minutes per pound.
For roasts under 5pounds, add
10 minutes per pound.
To slow down surface browning
on turkeys, you can use afoil
“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 en-
sure it is done evenly. Some,
however, can be cooked suc-
cessfully without thawing.
Check the packer’s label for
specific directions.
