THE MEAL SENSOR TEMPERATURE PROBE
The MEAL SENSOR+Temperature Probe helps take guesswork out of cooking roasts
and larger casseroles. The probe is designed to turn offthe oven when it senses the
temperature you want. See your MICRO MENUS _Cookbook for helpful information in
cooking different types of foods,
For casseroles, the tip of
the probe should be in
the center of the food, Stir
foods when recom-
mended. Replace the
probe.

desired. Move the Meal Sensor
pointer to the final cook-
ing temperature you
want.
For roasts, the tip of the
probe should be in the
center of the largest mus-
cle, but not touching fat or
bone.
3. Make sure the probe does
not touch any part of the
oven Interlor. Close the
door.
,Push the START Button.
When the probe senses
the cooking temperature,
a buzzer sounds, and the
oven turns off.
DO===
• use hot pads when removing probe from
food or food from oven.
• unplug probe from socket to turn off oven
light,
• stir foods during cooking when
recommended.
• stir soups, casseroles and drinks before
serving.
• cover roasts with foil and let stand a few
minutes after cooking. Remove foil if you
decide to cook it longer.
DON'T...
• let probe or probe cable touch any part of
the oven interior.
• let probe touch foil (if used]. Foil can be
kept away from probe with wooden tooth-
picks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.
• use paper, plastic wrap or plastic con-
tainers. They will be in the oven too long.
• use probe in regular oven.
• force probe into frozen food.
• use probe for foods that need to simmer.

TIPS
•Casseroles cooked using the MEAL SENSOR
probe should be made from precooked
foods. Do not use raw meats, raw vegeta-
bles and cream sauces in casseroles.
• Dry casseroles do not work well.
• Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in the
microwave oven before inserting the
probe.

•Dry meat loaf mixtures don't work well.
• Remember that roasts may vary in size,

HOW MICROWAVE OVENS WORK
Microwave ovens are safe, Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to
make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.
Mode Mixer Magnetron
Oven Cavity
Bottom
\ ,....,_../211
\v/ V/l/
Metal Floor
Microwaw;s are like TV
waves or Itght waves. You
can't see them Dut you can
see what hley do
MiorowawPs poss through
glass, paper and plastic
without heahng them so food
absorbs the. energy Micro-
waves balance off rnetai pans
so food does not absorD the
energy
A magnetron produces
microwaves The microwaves
move into the oven where
they are scattered around by
a stirrer [like a fan)
Microwaves bounce off
metal oven walls and are
absorbed by food
Microwaves may not reach
the center of a roast. The heat
around the outside is what
cooks the roast all the way
through. This is one of the
reasons for letting some
foods [roasts, baked pota-
toes] stand for a while after
cQoking, or for stirring some
foods during the cooking
time.
The bottom of your micro-
wave oven lets micro-
waves through, Then they
bounce off the metal
floor, back through the
bottom, and are ab-
sorbed by the food.
,rLf
The microwaves disturb
water molecules in the food
As the molecules bounce
around Dumping into each
other, heat is made. like rub-
bing your hands together.
Th,s is the heat that cooks
BI-LEVEL OVEN RACK
_se the Bi-Level Oven Rack to stack foods when cooking in more than one container.
The rack can be turned upside-down to help fit taller containers on the bottom of the
First Position: Use the rack only when heating
more than one container of food.
Do not let a container touch the top of the
oven.
Second Position: Turn rack upside-down
when using a taller container on the bottom
of the over,
CLEANING THE RACK
• Wash by hand with a mild detergent.
• Wash on the top rack of a dishwasher
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or cleansers
SPECIAL CAUTIONS
• Put food in containers, then place con-
tainers on rack.
• Do not cook foods directly on rack without
putting them in conta;ners first,
•Do not use wlth browning dish.
•Use only in the microwave oven.
• Do not let food or container touch the top of
the oven.
• Do not store rack in the oven,
•Use only when cooking foods in more than
one container.

THE LOWER OVEN SELF-CLEANING CYCLE
The lower oven self-cleaning cycle uses very hlgh heat to burn away
soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use
the cycle safely.
BEFORE YOU START
1. Clean areas that may not be cleaned
during the cycle. Use hot water and deter-
gent or a soapy steel-wool pad on...
• the frame around the oven
• the inside of the door, especially the
part outside the oven seal.
DO NOT try to clean the fiberglass seal. DO
