Microwave Oven Control Features and Settings

1. Display

• Displays the time during cooking functions, the power level being used, the Auto Codes, the Auto Defrost food weights, the cooking mode and instructions

• NOTE: The time on the microwave display is shown in minutes and seconds (1:30 is one minute, 30 seconds). On the lower oven, time is shown in hours and minutes (1:30 is one minute, 30 seconds).

2. Auto Sensor and Convenience Controls

• The top row of pads lists specific items you may choose to heat or cook.

• Popcorn: Use to pop popcorn.

• Reheat: Use when foods need a quick warm up.

• Potato: Use when cooking whole potatoes.

• Beverage: Use to heat a cup of coffee or other beverage.

• Snacks: Use to warm a variety of snack foods.

• Cook: Use to automatically set the cooking times and power levels for a variety of foods.

3. Time defrost: Use Time Defrost for most other foods.

4. Auto Defrost: Use Auto Defrost for meat, poultry and fish.

5. Time Cook: Allows you to microwave for any time up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

6. Power Level: Press to choose the power level you want to set. Watch the display while pressing this pad to select the power level you want to set. You will also see a defrost level. This setting will allow you to choose your own defrost power level by using the number pads.

7. Number Pads: After pressing a function pad, press the number pads to set the exact amount of time you want to cook. For example, if you press the 1, 2 and 5 pads, you have set 1 minute and 25 seconds.

8. Clear/Off: Pressing the Clear/Off pad cancels all microwave cooking functions. It does not cancel the Kitchen Timer.

9. Start: After all selections are made, press this pad to start the oven. The Start pad must be pressed to turn on any function.

10. Kitchen Timer Min/Sec

• Press to set the timer up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds. Press the number pads to set the time. Press the Kitchen Timer Min/Sec pad again to start. Press the Kitchen Timer Min/Sec pad twice to clear the display

• Does not turn on microwave energy.

11. Delay Start :Allows you to set the microwave to delay cooking up to 12 hours.

12. Add 30 Sec: Each time you press this pad the set time is increased 30 seconds.

13. Clock: Press this pad before setting the clock.

Changing the microwave power level: The power level may be entered or changed immediately after entering the feature time for Time Cook, Time Defrost or Express Cook. The power level may also be changed during time countdown.

To change the power level…

1. Press the Time Cook pad or the Time Defrost pad.
2. Enter cooking or defrosting time.
3. Press the Power Level pad.
4. Select desired power level 1–10.
5. Press the Start pad.

Variable power levels add flexibility to microwave cooking. The power levels on the microwave oven can be compared to the surface units on a range. Each power level gives you microwave energy a certain percent of the time.

• Power level 7 is microwave energy 70% of the time.
• Power level 3 is energy 30% of the time.
• Most cooking will be done on High (power level 10) which gives you 100% power. Power level 10 will cook faster but food may need more frequent stirring, rotating or turning over.

A lower setting will cook more evenly and need less stirring or rotating of the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. Use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes.

Rest periods (when the microwave energy cycles off) give time for the food to “equalize” or transfer heat to the inside of the food. An example of this is shown with power level 3- the defrost cycle. If microwave energy did not cycle off, the outside of the food would cook before the inside was defrosted.

Here are some examples of uses for various power levels:

• High 10: Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
• Med-High 7: Gentle cooking of meat and poultry; baking casseroles and reheating.
• 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.

Defrosting Tips

• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. 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 microwavesafe 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 Auto Defrost. 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.

Using the microwave sensor cooking features.

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Sensor Cooking

• 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 microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Popcorn

Use only with prepackaged microwave popcorn weighing 1.75 to 3.5 ounces.

2. Press the Popcorn pad. The oven starts immediately.

If you open the door while POP is displayed, ERROR will appear. Close the door, press the Clear/Off pad and begin again.

How to Adjust the Popcorn Program to Provide a Shorter or Longer Cook Time:

• If you find that the brand of popcorn you use underpops or overcooks consistently, you can add or subtract 20–30 seconds to the automatic popping time.
• To add time: After pressing the Popcorn pad, press the 9 pad immediately after the oven starts for an extra 20 seconds. Press the 9 pad again to add another 10 seconds (total 30 seconds additional time).
• To subtract time: After pressing the Popcorn pad, press the 1 pad immediately after the oven starts for 20 seconds less cooking time. Press the 1 pad again to reduce cooking time another 10 seconds (total 30 seconds less time)

Adjust the lower oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it does not affect broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Thermostat

1. Press the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.
2. Press the Bake pad. A two digit number shows in the display. Press Bake once to decrease (-) the oven temperature, or twice to increase (+).
3. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 35°F hotter or (-) 35°F cooler. Press the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 15°F, press 1 and 5.
4. When you have made the adjustment, press the Start pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

• Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.
• Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,pastries,cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
• Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning lower oven

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly

Before a Clean Cycle

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

• WARNING: Never place cooking utensils or any other items on the oven floor. There is a heating element beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
• We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.
• Remove any broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• The oven racks can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Care and Cleaning

Care and cleaning of the cooking center.

WARNING: Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the cooking center.

How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape

• Carefully grasp a corner of the protective shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel it from the appliance surface. Do not use any sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of the film before using the appliance for the first time.
• To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove the adhesive from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak.
• NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Microwave Oven

Do not use a commercial oven cleaner on any part of microwave oven

Removable Turntable and Turntable Support

• To prevent breakage, do not place the turntable into water just after cooking. Wash it carefully in warm, sudsy water or in the dishwasher.
• The turntable and support can be broken if dropped. Remember, do not operate the microwave oven without the turntable and support in place.
• To replace the support, place its center post in the hole. Turn the support around until it seats into place.

Inside

• Keep the microwave oven clean and sweetsmelling. Opening the oven door a few minutes after cooking helps air out the interior. An occasional thorough wiping with a solution of baking soda and water keeps the interior fresh.
• Spills and spatters are easy to remove from walls and floor if they are wiped up soon after the food is removed. Some spatters wipe up with a paper towel, some may require a damp cloth. Remove greasy spatters with a sudsy cloth, then rinse and dry.
• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad, causing electrical shock.
• Wipe up spatters on the window on the inside of the door daily. When the window is soiled, wash it with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Wipe metal and plastic parts on the inside of the door frequently. Use a damp cloth to remove all soil.
• Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders or steel and plastic pads. They may mar the surface.

Outside

• Clean the outside of the microwave oven with soap and a damp cloth, then rinse with a damp cloth and dry. Wipe the window clean with a damp cloth. Chrome is best wiped with a damp cloth and then with a dry towel.

Door Surface

• When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The door is very heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door.

Do not lift the door by the handdle.

To remove the door:

1. Fully open the door.
2. Pull the hinge locks down toward the door frame, to the unlocked position. A tool, such as a small flat-blade screwdriver, may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
4. Close door to the door removal position (see illustration).
5. Lift door up and out until the hinge arm is clear of the slot.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. With the door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the indentation of the hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of the slot.
3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.
4. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the oven cavity, to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.

To clean the inside of the door:

Do not rub or clean the door gasket— it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn. frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door. you should have it replaced.

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.
• The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
• If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

WARNING: SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD: Before replacing oven light bulb. disconnect the electrical
Dower to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.

CAUTION: BURN HAZARD: The glass cover and bulb should be removed when cool. Touching hot glass with bare hands or a damp cloth can cause burns.

Oven Light Replacement

To remove:

1. Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket. Wearing latex gloves may offer a better grip.
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb by pulling it straight out.

To replace:

1. Use a new 120/130-volt halogen bulb, not to exceed 50 watts. Replace the bulb with the same type of bulb that was removed. Your model will have one of the two types shown on the left. To determine the correct replacement bulb, check the bulb terminals. Bulbs with 2 straight pin terminals are G6.35 bulbs. Bulbs with 2 looped terminals are G9 bulbs. (Do not interchange.) Be sure the replacement bulb is rated 120 volts or 130 volts (NOT 12 volts).
2. Using gloves or a dry cloth, remove the bulb from its packaging. Do not touch the bulb with bare fingers. Oil from skin will damage the bulb and shorten its life.
3. Push the bulb straight into the receptacle all the way.
4. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn. For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.
5. Reconnect electrical power to the oven.

Lower Oven Light Bulb (on some models)

• To remove: Turn the glass cover counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the tabs of the glass cover clear the grooves of the socket. Remove the bulb.
• To replace: Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb. Place the tabs of the glass cover into the grooves of the socket. Turn the glass cover clockwise 1/4 turn.

NOTES:

• A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.
• Install and tighten the cover clockwise.
• Reconnect electrical power to the oven.
• For improved lighting inside the oven, clean the glass cover frequently using a wet cloth. This should be done when the oven is completely cool.

Oven Racks (lower oven)

NOTE: The oven racks may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However. the racks will darken in color. lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

• Clean the oven racks with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
• To make the racks slide more easily, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel.

Control Panel

• It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. When cleaning, the control panel should be at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers on the control pannel-they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.
