!Microwaweoven:
*aRead and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURETO
aXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
NERGY” 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 use your microwave
oven to dry newspapers.
—Papertowelsand napkins,wax
paper.Recycled paper products
can contain metal flecks which
may cause arcing or ignite.
Paper products containing nylon
or nylon filaments should be
avoided, asthey also ignite.
—Do not pop popcornin your
emicrowaveoven unless in a
special microwave popcorn
@ccessory or unless you use
opcorn labeled for use in
microwave ovens.
—Do not operatethe ovenwhile
emptyto avoiddamageto the
ovenand the danger of 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, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and dis:
connect the power cord, or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
sSome products such as
whole eggs and sealed con-
tainers—for example, closed
glassjars—may explode and
should not be heated in this
oven.
eSee door surface cleaning
ostructions on page 32.
)
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.
eUse metalonly asdirectedin
Cookbook.Metal strips as used
on meat roasts are helpful when
used as shown in Cookbook.
TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays. However,when
using metal in microwave oven,
keep metalat leastl-inch away
from sidesof oven.
eCooking utensi!smay
becomehot becauseof 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.
QSometimes the ovenfloor
can becometoo hotto touch.
Be careful touching the floor
during and after.cooking.
sDo not useany thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
eRemovethe temperature
probefrom the ovenwhen not
usingitto cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the ovenwithout
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.
@Boiling eggs (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.
sFoodswith unbrokenouter
“skin”such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages,tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and eggs (seeabove)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
@Avoidheatingbabyfood in
glassjars, evenwithout their
lids; especially meatand egg
mixtures.
ePlasticUtensils—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 compliance with
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.
@“Boilable”cookingpouches
and tightlyclosedplasticbags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed’in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
be at leastpartially uncovered
becausethey form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly ,coveredwith plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
-eUseof the DOUBLE DUTYTM-
shelfaccessory.To position
shelf so that it is securely
“seated,” insert into the oven
cavity above shelf supports and
completely to the back oven
wall. Drop in?oplace so that the
recessed areas are over the shelf
supports. To remove sheIf, lift
shelf above supports and then
pull forward and out. Do not
place food on shelf unless it is
securely “seated” on the
supports.
@When the shelf is not in use,
remove from the oven.
@,Donot use amicrowave

will expose aportion of the
heating element to direct con-
tact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
eNeverleavesudace units
unattendedat highheatsettings.
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire.
@Be sure drip pans and vent
ducts are not covered and are
in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range
parts and wiring.
@Don’t usealuminum foilto

INSTRUCTIONS

EnergySavingTips
@@Use proper power levelas
recommended and DO NOT
OVERCOOK.
aDOnot operate the oven while
empty. 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—savesenergy and also
ensuresgood long term life of oven.
@Usecooking utensils of medium
weight aluminum, tight-fitting
covers,and flat bottoms which
completely cover the heated portion
of the surface unit.
@Cook fresh vegetableswith
aminimum amount of water in a
covered pan.
@Watch foods when bringing
them quickly to cooking tempera-
tures at HIGH heat.When food
reachescooking temperature,
reduce heat immediately to lowest
setting that will keep it cooking.
@Use residual heat with surface
cooking whenever 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 heatsto start cooking
(if time allows, do not useHIGH
heatto start), medium high—quick
brownings, medium—slow frying,
low—finish cooking most quanti-
ties, simmer—double boiler heat,
finish cooking, and special for
small quantities.
@When boiling water for tea
or coffee, heat only the amount
needed. It is not economical to boil
acontainer full of water for only
one or two cups.
ovencooking
ePreheatthe 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.
@During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keepdoor open as
short atime as possible when it is
opened.
eForself-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excessspillage before
self-cleaning operation.
eCook 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 heatto warm
them.

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 time to approximately %.
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 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 the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.

Questions
andAnswers
(2. Are there any foods Ican’t
TEMP COOK?
A. Yes. Delicate butter icings, ice
cream, frozen whipped toppings,
etc., soften rapidly at warm temp-
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.
(2. 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 1know 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 C~okbook for specific
temperatures. o

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 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.

HowtoUseQuickSet Control e
The Quick Set control provides ashort-cut method
for entering time and the Power Level on your
microwave 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, atten-
tion or change in 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 Quick Set
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 a 3 digit Code, indicate the amount of time you
desire; the last control entry number is always the
Power Level. For example, 125 means 12minutes at
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, o
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 ycu 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.

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. Ai-
ways keep rack 3-5 inches
from the broiling unit.

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

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
10minutes 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.
