QuestionsandAnswers
Q.Why wasn’tmy roastfully
cookedeventhoughthetempera-
tureon thedisplaywascorrectand
Auto Roastwascompleted.
A. The temperature probe must be
properly inserted when you Auto
Roast. Check your Cookbook to see
what you might havedone wrong.
Q. Do sometypesof trivetswork
betterthan others?
A. Yes.Flat glass trivets generally
provide more browning to the
bottom of meatsthan plastic trivets.
Also, ceramic ridge-bottomed
roasting dishes usually work well.
Plastic trivets may require meat to
be turned over more often than
glasstrivets do because the grid
design and legs let the bottom of
the meat stay cooler than glass
trivets do.
Q. When I’mcookingwithAuto
Roast,why doesn’tmyroastcon-
tinueto cookduringthe holding
time?
A. When your food reachesfinished
temperature, the oven automatically
switches to alower heat level.The
eventemperature that’s maintained
in the food during this holding
period keeps it warm without
overcooking.

How R)useQUICK SET control
The QUICK SET Control provides a
short-cut method for entering time
and the Power Levelon your micro-
wave oven. QUICK SET Codes are
only usedfor recipes which need
little or no attention, and which
require no change of power level
during cooking. Recipeswhich
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 can not use Codes.
Tounderstand the QUICK SET
Code control, it isimportant to know
what the numbers mean and what
the sequence is. The first and sec-
ond numbers, if setting a3 digit
Code, indicate the amount of time
you desire;the last control entry

2-Digit
R’

Minutes High (10)
number is always the Power Level.
For example, 125means12 minutes
at Power Level5. NOTE: Your oven
can only be programmed to 99 min-
utes when using the QUICK SET
control and the highest Power Level
is 10which is representedby “O”.
When setting a 2 digit QUICK SET
control entry,the first istime,the sec-
ond is power level.For example, 50
means5minutes at Power Level 10.
On the following page isshown
many frequently preparedfoods and
their codes. It’s easy,though, to
make Codesfor many other recipes.
Just select one or two digits repre-
senting the length of cooking time
desired, and a final digit for the
Power.Level required. The Codes
given on the chart arefor the min-
imum time needed,to avoid over-
cooking which can dry out food and

make it tastelessand 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— 0
Codes arefor whole minutes only.
If your recipe calls for Power Level
changes or different amounts of
time neededbetween 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.
Rememberthat QUICK SET Codes
arefor microwaving by time only. If
you are microwaving by tempera-

When the ovencompletes QUICK

Q. Can !defrostandholdonly?
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. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.

Caution:Attaching the adapter

should havethe circuit checked by

When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this is
not done, the adapter ground ter-

L&of ExtensionCords
Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certain conditions we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if it is
necessaryto use an extension cord,
useonly a3-wire extension cord
that hasa3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the

Such extensior] cords areobtainable
through Hotpoint service. If you do
usean extensioncordwith your
