For Personal Safety, This Appliance Must Be Prop-
erly Grqmded. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with athree-prong (grounding) plug
which mates with astandard three-prong (ground-
ing) wall receptacle (Fig. 1) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appliance,
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by aqualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where astandard two-prong wall receptacle is en-
countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do Not Under Any Circumstances Cut or Remove
The Third (Ground) ProngFrom The PowerCord,
A, Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power
Cord Will Be Disconnected Infrequently,
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug, However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit, aTEMPO-

RARY CONNECTION may be made to aproperly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the
wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should
have the circuit checked by aqualified electrician to
makesure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this hap-
pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until aproper
ground has again been established.
B. Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power
CordWHJBe Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations be-
cause disconnecting of the power cord places un-
due strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fail-
ure of the adapter ground terminal, The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with athree-prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the appliance.
-.

1. For personal safety the oven must be properly
grounded. See grounding instructionson page 3of
this book. For best operation, plug this appliance
into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of
lights, biowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
2. Use of extension cords. Because of potential
safety hazards under certain conditions we strongly
recommend against the use of an extension cord,
However, if you stiii elect to use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord and that
the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes
be 15 amperes or greater. Such extension cords are
obtainable through Generai Eiectric service. If you
do use an extension cord with your microwave
oven, the interior iight may fiicker and the biower
sound may vary when oven is in use.
3. Be certain to place the front surface of the door
three inches or more back from the countertop
edge to avoid accidental tipping ofthe appliance in
normal usage.
4. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roasts are helpfui in cooking
food when used as directed. Metai trays may be
used for TV dinners, However, when using metai in
the microwave oven, keep metal at least l-inch
away from sidesof microwaveoven.
5. Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid
damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by ac-
cident the oven shouid run empty aminute or two,
no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating
the oven empty at aii times–it saves energy and
proiongs iife of the oven.
6. Cooking utensils may become hot because of
heat transferred from the heated food. This is espe-
cially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top
and handies of the utensii. Pot hoiders may be
needed to handle the utensii.
7. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot
to touch. Be careful touching the sheif during and
after cooking.
8. DO not use any thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless that thermometer is designed
or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
9. Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using It to cook with, if you ieave the
probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or
iiquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create
electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven
waiis.
10. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and piastic
bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes
cause bag to heat, and may cause fire.
1f.Don’t defrostfrozen beverages in narrow necked
batties especially carbonated ones, Even if the con-
tainer is opened, pressure can build up. This can
cause the container to burst, resulting in injury,
12. Don’tovercook. Excessive overcooking dehy-
drates potatoes, and may Gausethem to catch fire
causing damage,
4
13. If food should ever ignite: Keep the oven door
closed. Turn off the power immediately: Touch
CLEAR/OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off
power at the fuse circuit breaker panei.
14, Boiling eggs (in and out of shell] is not recom-
mended for microwave cooking. Pressure can buiid
up inside egg yoik and may cause it to burst, resuit-
ing in injury,
15. Foodswith unbroken outer “skin” such as po-
tatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, appies,
chicken iivers and other gibiets, and eggs (see
above) shouid be pierced to aiiow steam to escape
during cooking.
16.’’Boilable9’cooking pouches and tightly closed
plastic bags shouid be slit, pricked or vented as di-
rected in Cookbook. if they are not, piastic couid
burst during or immediately after cooking, possibiy
resuiting in injury. Aiso, piastic storage containers
shouid be at ieast partiaiiy uncovered because they
form atight seai. When cooking with containers
tightiy covered with piastic wrap, remove covering
carefuiiy and direct steam away from hands and
face.
17. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven
uniess in aspeciai microwave popcorn accessory
or uniess you use popcorn iabeied for use in micro-
wave ovens. Because of the heat generated without
these precautions, the container couid catch fire.
18. Plastic Utensfls–Piastic utensiis designed for
microwave cooking are very usefui, but shouid be
used carefuily. Even microwave piastic may not be
as toierant of overcooking conditions as are giass
or ceramic materiais and may soften or char if sub-
jected to short periods of overcooking. in ionger ex-
posures to overcooking, the food and utensiis
couid ignite, For these reasons: 1) Use microwave
piastics oniy “and use them” in strict compliance
with the utensii manufacturer’s recommendations.
2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3)
Do not permit chiidren to use piastic utensiis with-
out compiete supervision.
19. Do not use your microwave oven to dry news-
papers. if overheated, they can catch fire.
20. lfse of Shelf Accessory. To position sheif so
that it is secureiy “seated,” insert into the oven cav-
ity above sheif supports and completely to the back
oven waii. Drop into piace so that the recessed
areas are over the sheif supports. To remove sheif,
lift sheif above supports and then puii forward and
out. Do not piace food on sheif uniess it is secureiy
“seated” on the supports.
21. When cooking pork either conventionally or in
the microwave oven, foiiow our directions exactly
and aiways cook the meat to at ieast 170°. This
assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina
may be present in the m~at, it wiii be kiiled and
meat wiil be safe to eat,

Microwaving with your new oven can offer avariety of easy
cooking options. From freezer-to-table ready meals, use the
AUTOMATIC COOKING CONTROL option with the fully in-
structional display. The TIME COOK and TEMP COOK fea-
tures are especially effective for your specialty dishes or fa-
vorite recipes.
The Automatic Cooking Controi feature does your cooking
for you once you have completed the basic cooking steps
outlined in the Use and Care Book. For your cooking ease
and convenience, the Auto Cook and Auto Roast control
pads allow you to use this feature to practically do your
cooking for you. Just follow the electronic display’s step-by-
step programming instructions; then let the auto sensor de-
tect the food’s steam and automatically cook your meal.
With Auto Roast, meats are cooked as you desire and held
for up to one hour; for added convenience, Auto Roast Code
6simmers and slow-cooks foods which need long, gentle
cooking for tenderizing or flavoring. This Code also holds
your dish for an unlimited amount of time at the end of
cooking.
Conventional microwaving offers additional benefits for the
cook with acreative flair. With microwave energy, foods
cook faster while retaining their natural moisture. Reheating
is easy because unusual shapes and sizes won’t be over-
cooked, and defrosting is particularly convenient because
lesstime isspent in food preparation.
For precise cooking tasks, use the conventional microwave
features. With TIME COOK, you simply preset the time and
your oven turns off automatically. TEMP COOK, which deter-
mines doneness through the internal temperature of the
cooked dish, shuts off automatically when the food reaches
apreset temperature.
Read this book to iearn the many different things your micro-
wave oven can do. You wiii find avariety of cooking methods
and programs specialized to suit your individual iifestyie. We
think you wiii find microwaving the contemporary way, and
the smart way, to cook.

pleted in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. Hmy food is not completely cooked after using
the suggested Auto Cook Centrol Code, what
ShOUki !do?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
Power Level 10for afew minutes until completion,
C?.Do al! fresh or frozen vegetables require a
standing period aftercooking with AUTO COOK?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to acrisp state dur-
ing Auto Cook, just as in regular microwaving,
Therefore, i! is recommended that you let the vege-
tables stand for up to 5minutes depending on size
and density of pieces. This standing time also en-
hances the overall flavor and appearance of most
vegetables.
Q. What if !don’t fully cover the dish in Auto
cook?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly which shortens
the cooking time thus leaving undercooked dish,
Recover tightly and reset Auto Cook,
Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make adiffer=
ence when usingAuto Cook?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces will require ad-
ditional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested
arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper ar-
rangement is often asuccessful tip in regular micro-
waving,
Q. Should Iuse Auto Cook to cook pudding or
sauces?
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes require stirring
many times during cooking; therefore, Time Cook is
recommended since you should not open the door
during the AUTO phase of cooking without affect-
ing end cooking results,
IQ. My scalloped potatoes were not completely
cooked when Iremoved the dish after Auto Cook.
What is wrong?
A. if you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the sauce with 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 creates steam in the oven too
soon, and decreases the first sensing cycle,
Q. Are there any other foods which are best Time
Cooked, rather than Auto Cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or
foods when adry or crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water
when using AutoCook?
A. Yes, Add water as recommended on chart to the
vegetables and cover well for even, complete
cooking.
Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fit-
ting lids be appropriate for Automatic Cooking?
A. No, most types of plastic storage dishes, butter
tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended
for microwaving, Also tight fitting plastic lids may
prevent. adequate steam from escaping and food
may not cook properly during Automatic Cooking.
Q. Itried to warm some chow mein noodles using
Auto Cook. Why didn’t this work?
A. Food must have some moisture in orderto create
steam which helps the auto sensor function.
Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles,
potato chips and other such foods do not have
enough moisture.
Q. May Iuse Auto Cook when Iam cooking many
foods in more than one dish or casserole?
A. No, because ofdifferent food densities, attention
needed during cooking, and food amounts, it is best
to use TIME COOK when cooking many foods.
Q. Why was my roast not fully cooked even though
the temperature on the readout was correct and
Auto Roastcompleted?
A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature
probe must be inserted properly as fully described
in the Cookbook, After turning meat over or rotat-
ing, the probe should be checked to make sure it
hasn’t slipped or changed position.
Q. Last time Iused Auto Roast Iremoved the roast
from the oven to turn Hover. When Ireplaced roast
in oven and reconnected the meat probe, AUTO
reappeared. Why?
A. The oven and roast may have cooled to below
80°, or probe may have been repositioned. Con-
tinue roasting and numbers will soon reappear,
Q. Are there any particular trivets that work better
than others?
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 glass trivets do,
CLWhy doesn’t the roast continue cooking during
the standing or holding time?
A, The oven automatically reaches finished temper-
ature and then decreases to alower power level to
prevent overcooking, Thus an even temperature is
maintained,

The Defrost setting is designed for
even thawing necessary for large
amounts of food and is one of the
most important advantages of a
microwave oven, making defrost-
ing quick and easy with little attefi-
tion. Power Level 3is automatically
set for defrosting, but you may
change this for more flexibility, See
your Cookbook for the complete
defrosting chart.
To become better acquainted with
your Defrost function, defrost fro-
zen pork chops by following the
steps below.
Step 1: Place package of frozen
chops in the oven and close door,
Step 2: Touch DEFROST. Display
reads :0 and Power 3. “Enter Def
Time” flashes.
Step 3: Touch 8, 0, and Ofor 8min-
utes, “Def Time”, 8:00 and Power

Step ,4: Touch START. “Def Time
Left” shows and time counts down
on display. When cycle is com-
pleted, “END” flashes, the oven
signals and automatically shuts
off.
Step 5: Turn package over, close
door and repeat Steps 2,3 and 4.
Step &When oven signals, “END”
flashes and oven shuts off. Re-
move package and separate chops
to finish defrosting.

Tips
aMake sure all utensils used in
your microwave oven are labeled
“suitable for microwaving”. Check
your Cookbook for specific test to
determine “microwave-safe” uten-
sils.
ePaper towels, wax paper, and
‘plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
@Most microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for specific
instructions for the food you are
microwaving,
@Some foods such as unshelled
eggs and hot dogs must be
pricked to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
Q. Iset my oven for the time called
for in the recipe but at the end of
the time ajlowed, my dish wasn’t
done. What happened?
A. Since house power varies due
to time or location, many Time
Cook recjpes give you atime range
to prevent overcooking, Set the
oven for minimum time, test the
food for doneness, and cook your
dish alittle longer, if necessary,
Q. Iwant to cook” my dish on a
Power Level other than HIGH, what
do Ineed to do?
A. To change the Power Level,
touch the POWER LEVEL pad,
“Enter Power”” flashes on the dis-
play panel, Enter the desired
number,
Q. Can Iinterrupt my Time Cook
function to check the food?
A. Yes, To resume cooking, simply
close the door and touch START.
NOTE: Microwave power will not
come cm until you are ready, You
must touch S-TARTfor cooking to

it will heat more evenly even
though requiring more time.
@Be sure frozen food has been
completely defrosted before in-
serting 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 as
possible into foods as directed in
the recipes. Make sure the handle
does not touch the food. The probe
is easiest to use when inserted
from the front,
@Usethe clip to keep the probe in
place while heating.
@Cover foods as directed in
Cookbook for moisture control and
quick, even heating,
and
Q. After Ifollowed the steps and
touched START, “ERROR” flashed
in the display and a signal
sounded. What is wrong?
—A. “ERROR” flashes on display if
ciu set the temperature either be-
—low 80° or greater than 199°. The
oven tells you between the flash-
ing of “ERROR” what the in-
correct entry was that you set, To
re-ertter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad
and begin step$ again.
Q. Are there any foods Ican’t
TEMP COOK?
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
display after Itouched Wart?
A. “PROBE” will flash on the dis-
play if you have not securely
seated the end of the probe into
the receptacle in the oven wall or if
you touch TEMP COOK and have
forgotten to use the probe,
Q. Can 1leave 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. Can ITEMP COOK 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 probe
in the food and change the temp-
erature setting as needed,

Automatic Cooking Control is atutly automatic
eiectrunic controi system that lets your microwave
oven do the cooking for you. The charts and
rec!pes 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 time or aselected fin-
ished temperature. And that means looking up
recipes in acookbook. .trying to convert old
recipes for microwave cooking, ..or just resorting
to guesswork. This control method works on an
entirely different basis—with aspecial electronic
sensor that detects steam from 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 displays time counting down.
During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but
when oven signals, most foods 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
size to the size of the food being cooked, Coverings
such as plastic wrap secured on al~sides, the lid
that came with the container, or microwave-safe
plastic domes are ideal. For exampies of containers
and coverings, see page 8 and the following recipe
section of this book.
With Preference Control, you can adjust the AWo-
matic Cooking Feature to your individual taste by
adding ehher “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 XIO/O,{fyou wish more cooking time, add,
“9” after the Code to increase cooking time by 20°/0.
Automatic Roasting uses the temperature probe
rather than the electronic sensbr to cook meats
evenly to the desired degree of doneness. The oven
continually monito,rs 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 Ieve!s are used asthe meat temperature rises
thus cooking meats evenly while retaining the nat-
ural juices. After cooking, the oven switches auto-
matically to Hold for an hour. Food stays warm
without overcooking.
