Measure 1 cup water in a glass cup.

Place in oven on or beside dish.

Microwave 1 minute at High. If

water becomes hot, dish is microwave

safe. If dish heats, it should not be

used for microwaving.

. Paper towels, wax paper, and

plastic wrap can be used to cover

●

Some microwaved foods require

stirring, rotiting, or rearranging.

Check your cookbook.

Questions and Answers

Q. What will happen if I

accidentally reverse my defrost,

hold and cook instructions?

A. The oven will automatically

rearrange your program. Defrosting

will always come first, then hold,

and then the cooking function.

Q. Can I defrost and hold only?

A. Yes. Sometimes you may only

want to defrost a food, hold it, and

cook it later. All you need to do is

program in defrost and amount of

time. Then program the hold time

and the amount of cooking time. Be

sure to put the thawed dish in the

refrigerator promptly.

NOTE: Let foods remain at room

temperature only as long as safe.

Times will vary.

Q. I programmed my oven for

a specific defrosting time but it

defrosted longer than necessary.

What happened?

A. When instructions conflict,

the oven carries out the last

instruction. You may have set the

oven to defrost for 4 minutes, hold

for 2 minutes, and then defrost for

6 minutes. In this case, the oven

would defrost for 6 minutes and

hold for 2 minutes.

Cooting by

Tempemture

Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness for many foods.

Use Temp Cook/Hold to cook a

variety of foods to the desired

finished food temperature. The

Time Cook I &II setting is

recommended for batters,

doughs, frozen foods and foods

which are difficult to cook

precisely with the probe.

Temp Cook/Hold takes the

guesswork out of cooking, because

the oven automatically switches

to “Hold” setting after reaching the

preset food temperature and

maintains that temperature for up to

one hour or until you touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad.

Note: Oven automatically switches

to “Hold” when preset food

temperature is reached.

The Temperature Probe

to program your oven to begin

cooking at a preset time of

day—

up to a

~-hour

delay.

To Use Auto

Stirt

Step 1:

Touch AUTO START pad

(instead of START pad).

Step 2: Enter the time you want

the oven to start. (Be sure your

microwave oven clock shows the

correct time of day.)

Step

Enter your desired cooking

program.

Step 4: Touch START pad. The

oven will automatically start at the

desired time.

Cooking Tips

●

Use a lower power level; it will

heat more evenly even though

requiring more time.

Be sure frozen food has been

completely defrosted before inserting

probe. Probe may break off if used

in frozen foods.

● Cover foods loosely for moisture

control and quick, even heating.

Questions and Answers

Q. Are there any foods I can’t

Temp Cook?

A. Yes.

Delicate butter icings, ice

cream, frozen whipped toppings,

etc. soften rapidly at warm

temperatures. Batters, doughs and

frozen foods are also difficult to

cook precisely with the probe. It’s

best to Time Cook these foods.

Q. Why did “PRObE” flash on

the display after I touched the

START pad?

“PRObE”

will flash if you

don’t seat the cable end of the probe

securely into the receptacle in the

oven wall or if you touch the TEMP

COOK/HOLD pad and forget to

use the probe.

Q. Can I leave my probe in the

oven if it’s not inserted in food?

A. No,

if it touches the oven wall,

you may damage the oven.

Q. Can

Temp Cook different

portions of food at different

temperatures?

A. Yes. The temperature probe

gives you the freedom to cook

different

Questiom and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time

called for in the recipe, but at the

end of the time allowed, my food

wasn’t done. What happened?

Since house power varies due

to time or location, many Time

Cook recipes give you a time range

to prevent overcooking. Set the

oven for minimum time, test the

food for doneness, and cook your

food a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads

and selected my power level. When

touched START, however, my

oven didn’t come on. Why not?

A. The TIME COOK I & II pad

must be touched before setting the

number pads or else your oven will

not begin cooking.

Q. I want to cook on a power

level other than High. What do I

need to do?

A. To cook on a power level other

than High, first touch the TIME

COOK pad and set the desired

cooking time. Then touch the

POWER LEVEL pad. “POWER

10’.

appears on the display panel. Enter

new power level number and touch

START.

Q. Can I interrupt my Time

Cook function to check the food?

A. Yes.

To resume cooking,

simply close the door and press

the START pad. The timer must be

reset for cooking to resume unless

time is remaining on timer.

Q. I opened the door to check on

the popcorn and “Error”

appeared on the display. Why?

A. The Popcorn program first

detects steam and then switches to

Time Cook. If you open the door

while “POP” is displayed, “Error”

will appear. Close the door, touch

CLEAR/OFF and begin again. You

may open the door when “End”

appears on display.

Auto Roast

Auto Roast uses the temperature

probe to cook to the desired

serving temperature. Unlike

Temp

Cook/Hold, which uses a

single power level, Auto Roast

uses up to 3 power settings which

automatically switch during

roasting, thus providing even,

tender cooking results without

overcooking.

Just as in conventional roasting,

only tender roasts should be Auto

Roasted until specified internal

temperatures are reached. Less

tender roasts should be microwaved

by time, according to the cookbook

which comes with your oven.

Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put

it to the test described on page 3.

. Never use tight-sealing plastic

lids—they can prevent steam from

escaping and cause poor reheating

results.

● Match the amount of food to

the size of the container. Fill

containers at least half full for best

results.

● Be sure the outside of the

cooking

contiiner 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.

● Stir or rotate some foods after

the beeping signal (if required).

Use microwave-safe casseroles or

bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If

lids are not available, use plastic

wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap

should be loose over food to allow

for escaping steam. Seal by pressing

plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Que~iom

Amwem

Q. If my food is not completely

reheated after using the suggested

code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and power

level 10 for 30-second increments

until the desired temperature is

reached.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

dish in Auto Reheat?

A. Oven senses steam too quic~y,

which shortens the reheating time

and leaves food too cool. Cover

tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of

food make a difference when

using Auto Reheat?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger

pieces will require additional

Time Cooking. Be sure to check

suggested arrangement of pieces in

the dish, since proper arrangement

is often a successful tip in regular

microwaving.

Q. Are there any other foods

which are reheated best using

~me

Cook, rather than Auto

Reheat?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or

crisp surface is desirable, are

reheated best by Time Cook.

Q. Would my plastic containers

with very tight fitting lids be

appropriate for Automatic

Reheating?

A. No, most types of plastic

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.

with tight fitting lids are not

recommended for microwaving.

Also tight fitting plastic lids may

prevent adequate steam from

escaping and food may not heat

properly during Auto Reheat.

Q. I tried to warm some chow

mein noodles using Auto Reheat.

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

use Auto Reheat when I

am reheating many foods in more

than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because of different food

densities, attention needed during

reheating, and food amounts, it is

best to use Time Cook when

reheating many foods.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press START, I hear 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 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost 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 the desired power

level pad. Power level 7 cuts the

total defrosting time in about 1/2;

Power

level

10 cuts the total

defrosting time to approximately

1/3. During either, rotate or stir

food frequently.

Why don’t the defrosting

times in the cookbook seem right

for my food?

A. Cookbook times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according

to the temperature in your freezer.

Set your oven for the time indicated

in your cookbook. If your food is

still not completely thawed at the

end of that time, reset your oven

and adjust the time accordingly.

Should all foods be completely

thawed before cooking?

A. Some foods should not be

completely thawed before cooking.

For example, fish cooks so

quictiy

it is better to begin cooking while it

is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during

defrosting 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. The oven begins

operating if time is left on timer.

If not, reset timer.

cut off after the Auto cycle when

using Auto Cook code 1, when it

does not for other settings?

A. When using Code 1, there is no

second phase of minutes counting

down. All the cooking is completed

in the first phase or Auto.

Q. If my food is not completely

cooked after using the suggested

code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and power

level 10 for a few minutes until

completion.

fresh or frozen vegetabl~

require a standing period after

cooking with Auto Cook?

Most vegetables are cooked to

a crisp state during Auto Cook,

just as in regular microwaving.

Therefore, it is recommended that

you let the vegetables stand for up

to 5 minutes depending on size and

density of pieces. This standing

time also enhances the overall

flavor and appearance of most

vegetables.

What if I don’t fully cover the

dish in Auto Cook?

A. Oven senses steam too

quicHy,

which shortens the

cookiilg

time

and leaves food undercooked.

Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of

foods make a difference when

using Auto Cook?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger

pieces will require additional

Time Cooking. Be sure to check

suggested arrangement of pieces in

the dish, since proper arrangement

is often a successful tip in regular

microwaving.

Do fresh or frozen vegetables

require water when using Auto

Cook?

A. Yes.

Add water to the vegetables

as recommend on guide and cover

well

for even, complete cooking.

Should I use Auto Cook to

cook pudding or sauces?

A. Most pudding and sauce recipes

require stirring many times during

cooking; therefore, Time Cook is

recommended.

Q. My scalloped

potitoes were

not completely cooked when I

removed the dish after Auto

Cook. What is wrong?

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

oven prior to combining the sauce

with potatoes, there may have been

too much remaining moisture in

the oven. Make sure you dry the

oven completely before using Auto

Cook since this function operates

properly 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 Auto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted

chocolate or foods when a dry or

crisp surface is desirable are

cooked best by Time Cook.

Would my plastic containers

with very tight fitting lids be

appropriate for Automatic

Cooking?

A. No, most types of plastic

storage dishes, butter tubs, etc.

with tight fitting lids are not

recommended for microwaving.

Also, tight fitting plastic lids may

prevent adequate steam from

escaping and may keep food from

cooking properly during Automatic

Cooking.

Q. I tried to warm some chow

mein noodles using Auto Cook.

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.

May I use Auto Cook when I

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.

Automatic Cooting Containers

Containers and covers

Appropriate containers and coverings

help assure good cooking results.

● Always use microwave-safe

containers and cover them with

lids or vented plastic wrap.

Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put

it to the test described on page 3.

Never use tight-sealing plastic

covers—they can prevent steam

from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

. Match the amount of food to

the size of the

contiiner. Fill

containers at least half full for best

results.

● Be sure the outside of the

cooking

contiiner

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.

. Stir or rotate some foods after

a beeping signal, if required. See

Automatic Cooking Control Guide

and recipes on the following pages.

Covers

Use microwave-safe casseroles or

bowls for entrees and vegetables.

Cover with lids that fit. If lids are

not available, use plastic wrap.

Plastic wrap should be vented over

food to allow for escaping steam.

Seal by pressing plastic wrap

firmly around edges.

For frozen entrees in paperboard

trays, remove tray from box but do

not remove film over tray. Thick

entrees may take longer to

cook—

see guide on page 22.

For frozen foods in

metal

trays,

remove foil covering and baked

goods, reinsert tray into box and

close ends of box.

Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown

above. Break food up thoroughly

after oven signals.

Use

oblong

or square containers for

chicken or-corn on the cob. Plastic

wrap covering should be vented

over food to allow for escaping

steam. Seal by pressing plastic

wrap firmly around edges.

Wper

plates—while

they maybe

used for Time and Temperature

Cooking and Defrosting, do not

use them with automatic cooking,

Use microwave-safe

plates

or bowls

for reheating. Cover

‘with

plastic

wrap or wax paper.

Follow Automatic Cooking Control

Guide setting for casseroles. Cover

casserole meat and vegetables with

sauce. Cool hot ingredients or

sauces. If they are not cool, use

Time Cook.

—

Automatic Cooting Control Guide

Please note: The Auto Cook codes and times have changed

since this book was printed. Please use this Guide instead

of the Guide printed in the Use and Care Guide.

●

Do not open oven door during

Auto cycle. When oven signals and

countdown time is displayed, door

may be opened for stirring, turning

or rotating food. To resume cooking,

close door and touch START pad.

. Match the amount of food

to the size of the container. Fill

containers at least 1/2 full.

. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to fresh

vegetables.

●

Foods should be covered with lid

to dish or plastic wrap to prevent

spattering to keep oven clean.

Spareribs, pot roasts and meat loaf

should be covered tightly to ensure

even cooking.

●

Be sure outside of container and

inside of oven are dry.

●

After completion of Auto Cook

cycle, if food needs additional

cooking, return food to oven and

use Time Cook to finish cooking.

●

To adjust cook time to suit

individual tastes, add a “l” or “9”

to code number when entering

Auto Cook code. See page 20 for

instructions.

●

Use of Auto Cook feature with

DOUBLE

DUTYTM

shelf is not

recommended.

arrange foods properly (shown on

the next page). Cookware size is

important; select from among the

suggestions below. Also, food size

should be considered; foods over 4

inches high, or 3

pounds are not

recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also

uncooked foods which need to be

prepared from scratch should be

cooked without the oven shelf,

following cookbook directions.

Use pot holders when handling

foods heated

How to Heat or Reheat

Similar~pes

of Food

Two plates of leftovers maybe

reheated together. Arrange thick

or dense foods to outside edges

plate and cover with plastic wrap.

Microwave at High (10) for 3

minutes. Reverse position of plates

(top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn.

Continue microwaving at High (10)

for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue

heating, if necessary, until hot.

Reheating two casseroles (height

should be less than 4 inches) is

possible. Cover with plastic wrap.

Use staggered arrangements of

food, placing food on right side of

shelf and left side of floor. Refer to

Heating or Reheating Guide in

cookbook for suggested microwave

time per casserole and add the times

together. Microwave at High (10)

reversing position of foods (top to

small bowls of leftovers maybe

heated in the same way, stirring

and reversing positions after half

Two frozen individual entrees

(5 to 7 oz. each) or two

TV dinners

(10 to

oz. each) are both ready to

serve at the same time. Remove trays

of food from their boxes. If there are

foil

covers, remove them and return

the trays of food to their boxes. (Batter

foods should be removed from the

trays and cooked conventionally.)

Place in oven with one TV dinner on

right shelf and the second dinner on

left floor. Microwave at High (10)

for 8 minutes. Reverse positions

How to Reheat Several

Different

~pes

of Foods

Together

When heating several different

types of food together, foods which

should be served hot must be placed

on the shelf, while foods which need

only to be warmed should be placed

on the oven floor. This is because

microwave energy enters the oven

from the top only. Also, it is

important to remember that foods

absorb microwave energy at

different rates. Rates can be affected

by the size of the food, and its

starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you

may need to start reheating a large

or dense food a few minutes ahead

of time, then add other smaller or

less dense foods. Alternately, if

one of the foods you are heating

seems undercooked but the others

are heated satisfactorily, let the

underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of

food at High (10). To determine

heating

times. add times for all

foods

&gether.

(See heating guide

in cookbook. ) After half of time,

stir or rearrange foods (do not

reverse positions). Check foods

(especially those on oven floor)

after 3/4 of total time and remove

any which are done. Continue

cooking others.

Place on shelf large or dense foods

which need the most heating, such

as leftover fried chicken, casseroles

of canned or leftover vegetables,

rice or pasta. Place on floor those

foods which need only be warmed,

such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins

or breads.

Pop

popcorn on the microwave

oven floor only. Popcorn placed on

the oven shelf will not pop properly.

Use a special microwave popcorn

accessory or prepackaged popcorn

labeled for use in microwave ovens.

GRO~~G

~STRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded.

In the event of an electrical short

circuit, grounding reduces the risk

of electric shock by providing an

escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equip@ with a

power cord having a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly

instiled

and

groundd.

BEFORE USE

Consult a qualified electrician or

situations where

appliance’s power cord will

be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety

haards

under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug. However,

if you still elect to use an adapter,

where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY

CONNE~ION

may be made to a properly

~undd

two-prong

wall receptacle by the

use of a

listed adapter (Fig. 2)

which is available at most local

hardware stores.

TEMPORARY METHOD

INSURE PROPER

AND

FIRM

CONNE~lOh

Fig.

BEFORE USE

The larger slot in the adapter must

be aligned with the larger slot in

the

wdl

receptacle to provide

proper polarity in the connection

of the power cord.

Caution: Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the

wdl

receptacle cover screw does not

ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not

insulated, and the

wdl

receptacle

is grounded through the house

wiring. You should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure the receptacle is

properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power

cord from the adapter, always hold

the adapter with one hand. If this

is not done, the adapter ground

terrnind

is very likely to break with

repeati

use. Should this happen,

USE the appliance until

a proper ground has again been

established.

Us~e

situations where

not use an adapter plug in these

situations because disconnecting of

the power cord places undue strain

on the adapter and leads to eventual

failure of the adapter ground

terminal. You should have

the

receptacle by a qualified electrician

before using the appliance.

Use

of=nsion

Cords

1. A short power-supply cord is

provided to reduce the risks

resulting from becoming entangled

in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension

cords are available and

may be used

if care is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord

is used, (1)

the marked electrical

rating of the cord set or extension

cord should beat least as great as

the electrical rating of the appliance,

(2) the extension cord must be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

(3) the longer cord should be

arranged so that it will not drape

over the countertop or

tabletop

where it can be paled on by

ctidren

or tripped over accidentally.

If you do use an extension cord

with your microwave oven, the

interior light may flicker and

tie

blower sound may vary when oven

is in use. Cook times may be longer

as well.

Care and

Cleani~

Your new microwave oven is

a valuable appliance. Protect

it from misuse by following

these rules:

● Keep your oven clean and

sweet-smelling. 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.

● Don’t use sharp-edged utensils

on your oven. The inside and

outside oven walls can be scratched.

The control panel can be damaged.

●

Don’t remove the mode

stirrer cover at the top of the oven

(see illustration on page 5). You

will damage the oven.
