BAKING AND ROASTING

Baking and Roasting

  • Baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a conventional oven, using a heating element to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250 to 450 may be set
  • A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.
  • Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place.

The turntable must always be in place when using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe cookware on the glass tray to bake

WARNING: When baking, remember that the oven, door and dishes will be very hot!

  • Medium 5: Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
  • Low 2 or 3: Defrosting; simmering; delicate sauces.
  • Warm 1: Keeping food warm, softening butter

Cooking Tips

  • When cooking bacon, layer strips on a plate. Cover each layer with a paper towel.
  • When cooking vegetables, use a microwave - safe casserole or bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic wrap.
  • For frozen vegetables, follow the package instructions for adding water.

Power level is automatically set at 3. but can be changed. To change the power levels. see the

See other models: JVM7195DKBB PSA9240SFSS PEM31SFSS JVM6175SKSS PVM9179SKSS
Microwave Power Level(s) section. You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to about 1/3. When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual

Defrosting Tips: Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat, poultry and fish. Use DEFROST BY TIME for most other frozen foods.

  • Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be time defrosted in the package. but foods should be taken out of the package when using DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE. Closed packages should be slit. pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.
  • Family-size. prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
  • Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria
  • For more even defrosting of larger foods.,such as roasts,use DEFROST BY TIME. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking
  • When defrosted. food should be cool but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

Sensor Cooking

Some microwave modes feature sensor cooking. The oven automatically senses when food is done and shuts itself off - eliminating the need to program cook times and power levels. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food

MICROWAVE SENSOR PROGRAMS

  1. Press the AUTO COOK pad and turn the dial to COOK BY FOOD TYPE or REHEAT. Press the dial to enter.
  2. Tur the dial to select the food you want. Press the dial to enter.
  3. Press the dial or press the START/ PAUSE pad to start cooking.

Do not open the oven door until time is counting down in the display. If the door is opened, close it and press
STARTI/PAUSE immediately. If the food is not done enough. use COOK BY TIME in the microwave selector to cook for more time.

NOTE: Do not use the sensor features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. If food is undercooked after the first countdown. use COOK BY TIME for additional cooking time.

NOTE: If the oven is too hot then it will automatically change to time cooking.

  • To shorten or lengthen the cook time, wait until the time countdown shows in the display. Then turn the dial to add or subtract time
  • If you open the door while sensor cooking. SENSOR ERROR will appear. Close the door. press START/ PAUSE to begin again.

Notes About the Reheat Program: Reheated foods may have wide variations in temperature. Some areas may be extremely hot. It is best to use COOK BY TIME and not REHEAT for these foods

  • Bread products
  • Food that must be reheated uncovered
  • Foods that need to be stirred or turned.
  • Foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating.

Sensor Cooking Cookware

The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking

  • Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight sealing plastic containers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook
  • Be sure the outside of the cooking containers and the inside of the oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor
  • Beverages are best heated uncovered.

Steam Feature TIMED or SENSOR STEAM

For best results use steam or simmer bowl. Add 2 Tablespoons of water when steaming vegetables.

1. Press the STEAM pad.

2. Turn the selector dial to TIMED or SENSOR. Press the dial to enter.

Care and Cleaning

Helpful Hints

  • An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the inside fresh.
  • Be certain the oven control is turned off before cleaning any part of this oven.

Inside

  • Clean the inside of the oven often for proper heating performance.
  • Some spatters can be removed with a paper towel, others may require a warm soapy cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp utensils on oven walls.
  • Never use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of your oven.
  • Do not clean the inside of the oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.

Removable Turntable

  • The area underneath the turntable should be cleaned frequently to avoid odors and smoking during a cooking cycle.
  • The turntable can be broken if dropped. Wash carefully in warm. sudsy water. Dry completely and replace.
  • To replace the turntable. place its center over the spindle in the center of the oven and tum it until it seats into place. (Make sure the smooth side of the turntable is facing up and that its center seats securely on the spindle.)

Cooking Trays and Baking Sheet

  • To prevent breakage, allow the trays to cool completely before cleaning. Wash carefully in warm. sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
  • Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasives, as they may damage the finish. A soap-filled scouring pad may be used to clean the trays.

Outside

  • We recommend against using cleaners with ammonia or alcohol, as they can damage the appearance of the oven. If you choose to use a common household cleaner, first apply the cleaner directly to a clean cloth, then wipe the soiled area.
  • Case: Clean the outside with a sudsy cloth. Rinse and then dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth.
  • Glass Control Panel and Door: Wipe with a clean damp sponge. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap and water, abrasives or sharp objects on the panel—they can damage it.
  • Door: Seal It’s important to keep the area clean where the door seals against the oven. Use only mild, non-abrasive detergents applied with a clean sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Stainless Steel

  • To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.
  • To inquire about purchasing Stainless Steel appliance cleaner or polish, or to find the location of a dealer nearest you, please call our toll-free number
