Cook fresh vegetables with aminimum amount

“Keep an eye” on ;oods when bringing them
quickly to cooking temperatures at HIGH heat.
When food reaches cooking temperature, re-
duce heat immediately to lowest setting that will
keep it cooking.
Use residual heat with surface cooking when-
ever possible. For example, when cooking eggs
in the shell bring water to boil, then turn to OFF
position to complete the cooking.
Always turn surface unit OFF before removing
utensil.
Use correct heat for cooking task ...high heats

Preheat the ov~n 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.
During baking, avoid frequent door openings.
Keep door open as short atime as possible
when it is opened.
For self-cleaning oven, be sure to wipe up ex-
cess spillage before self-cleaning operation.
Cook complete oven meals instead of just one
food item. Potatoes, other vegetables, and some
desserts will cook together with amain-dish cas-
serole, meat loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same temperature in ap-
proximately the same time.
Use residual heat in oven whenever possible to
finish cooking ,casseroles, oven meals, etc. Also
add rolls or precooked desserts to warm oven,
using residual heat to warm them.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed con-
tainers are suitable for range-top service;
others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature. (See Section
on “How to Use Your Range-Top” for
suggestions.)
‘Use only dry potholdws-moist or damp
potholders on ‘hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage, the handle of a
container should be positioned so that it is
turned toward the center of the range
without extending over nearby surface
units.
Be sure reflector pans and vent ducts are
not covered and are in place. Their absence
during cooking could damage range parts
and wiring.
Don’tusealuminum foil to line reflector pansor

Foodsfor frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over sides of pan.
Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
If acombination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
Always heatfat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent over-heating fat beyond
the smoking point.

Use Proper Pan Size–This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different size, Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose aportion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve
efficiency. ~

Don’t defrost frozen beverages 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.
Boiling eggs in or out of the shell is not
recommendedfor microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside the yolk and 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.

Because of heat generated, without these
precautions, the container could catch fire.
“Boilable” cookingpouchesand tightly closed
plastic bags should be slit, pricked or
vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are
not, plastic could burst during or im-
mediately after cooking, possibly resulting
in injury. Also, plastic storage containers
should be at least partially uncovered
because they form atight seal. When cook-

Plastic utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but should be used
carefully. Even microwave plastic may not
be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as
are glass or ceramic materials and may
soften or char if subject to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to
overcooking, the food and containers may
even ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use
microwave plastics only and use them in
strict compliance with the container
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do
not subject empty containers to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children to use
plastic containers without complete
supervision.
Use metal only as directed in the Cookbook.
Metal strips as used on meat roasts are
helpful in cooking food when used as
directed. Metal trays may be used for T
dinners. However, when using metal in th
oven, keep metal at least l-inch away from
sides of the oven. e

ODO not usc any thmnorrwter in food you arc
microwaving unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for use in the
microwave oven.
43D0 not operate the oven while empty to avoid
damageto the ovenandth~ dangerof fire. If by
accident the oven should run empty a
minute or two, no harm is done. However,
try to avoid operating the oven empty at all
times—it saves energy and prolongs life of
the oven.
‘3 Cooking utensils may 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,
Pot holders may be needed to handle the
utensil.
Sometimes,theovenshelf can becometoo hotto
touch. Be careful touching the shelf during
and after cooking.
Removethe 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,
If food should ever ignite: Keepthe oven door
closed. Turn off the power immediately: Touch
CLEAR/OFF or disconnect power cord or
shut off power at the fuse/circuit breaker

(3.Why doesmyovenautomaticallycui offafter the
AUTO cycle when using Automatic Cooking Con-
trol Code _iwhen it does not for other settings?
A. When using Code 1,there is no second phase ot
minutes counting down. All the cooking is com-
pleted in the first phase or AUTO.
Q. if my food is not completely cooked after using
the suggested Autornatlc Cooking Control Code,
what should 1do?
A. Thick starchy or dense foods may require some
additional time cooking. Use TIME COOK and
Power Level 10 for afew minutes until completion
or recover and use Automatic Cooking Code 1.
Q. !30 all fresh or frcxwm vegetables require a
standing period after cooking with Auto Cook?
A. Most vegetables are cooked to acrisp state
during Automatic Cooking, just as in regular micro-
waving. Therefore, it is recommended that you let
the vegetables stand for up to 5minutes depending
on size and density of pieces. This standing time
also enhances the overall flavor and appearance of
most vegetables.
Q. What it’idon’t fully cover the dish in Automatic
cooking?
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 cdfood make adiffer-
ence when usingAutomatic Cooking?
A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces will require
additional Time Cooking. Be sure to check sug-
gested arrangement of pieces in the dish, since
proper arrangement is often asuccessful tip in reg-
ular microwaving.
Q. should 1use Automatic cooking to cook pud-
ding 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
affecting end cooking results.
Q. My scalloped potatoes were not completely
cooked when Iremoved the dish after Automatic
cooking. what is wrong?
A. If you prepared the sauce in the oven prior to
combining the sauce with potatoes, there m~y have
been too much remaining moisture in the oven,
Make sure you dry the oven completely before
using Auto Cook since this function operates prop-
erly 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 Automatic cooked?
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or
foods when adry or crisp surface is desirable, are
cooked best by Time Cook.
(2. Do fresh or frozen vegetables require water
when usingAutomatic Cooking?
A. Yes,Add water as recommended on chart to the m
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 recom-
mended 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 rmeEnnoodles using
Automatic Cooking. Why didn’t this work?
A, Food must have some moisture in order to 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 !am cooking many
foods in more than one dish or casserole?
A. No, because of different food densities, attention
needed during cooking, and food amounts, it is best
to use TIME COOK when cooking many foods.
Q. Why was my roas$not fully cooked even though e
the temperature on the readout was correct and
AutoRoast completed?
A. When cooking with Auto Roast, the temperature e
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 1removed the roast
from the ovento turn it over. When !replaced 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 othersfor Auto Roakting?
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.
Q. When using Auto Roast, why 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.

QuickSet& DefrostControls
Howtouse
Quicksetcontrol
Quick Set is ashort-cut control for entering time
and the Power Level on your microwave oven.
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 a 3 digit Quick Set Code, indicate the amount
of time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means 12
minutes at Power Level 5. NOTE: Your oven can
only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the
Quick Set control and highest Power Level is 10
which is represented by “O”. When setting a 2 digit
Quick Set control entry, the first istime, the second o
is power level.
S#ep 1: Touch QUICK SET “Enter Cook Code”
flashes on readout,
Step 2: Enter the proper code into Quick Set con-
trol. For example, arecipe calling for 12 minutes
cooking time at Power Level 10would be 120.Code
number appears and “START” flashes immediately
after entering a3-digit code, but when a2-digit
code is used, there is adelay before “START”
flashes.
Step 3: Touch START, “Cook Time Left, time
counting down and Power 10” show on display.
HowtoDefrost
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 atten-
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
3are displayed.
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 6: When oven signals, “END”
flashes and oven shuts off. Re-
move package and separate chops
to finish defrosting.
Defrosting -rips
@Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
&For even defrosting, many foods
need !O be turned over, rotated, or
broken up part of the way through
the defrosting time.
@Homemade dinners can be fro- *
zen in shallow foil trays and heated
for later use. Select foods which
microwave well. @
@Pre-packaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwave
cooked.
@Check your Cookbook for other
defrosting tips.
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 fre-
quent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by tcuching POWER LEVEL
and 7 or 10. Power Level 7cuts the
time in 7“; Power Level 10 cuts the
time to ‘/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. When Ienter the fourth digit
using Quick Set control, nothing
happens. What went wrong?
A. The oven will take only 2or 3
numbers. If more are pressed,
oven does not respond. Touch
Clear/Off and begin again.
Q. Can Iselect aPower Level other
than automatic Power 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 th
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.

it will heat more evenly even
though requiring more time.
ISIBe 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.
@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
andAnswers
●
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
you 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-enter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad
and begin steps 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 Start?
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 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. 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 tem-
perature setting as needed,
