Questions 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?  
A. 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.  
Step 1: Fill a cup 2/3 full of

The temperature probe is a food  
thermometer that gauges the  
internal temperature of the food; it  
must be used when using  
COOK/HOLD” or “AUTO  
ROAST.” A two position clip  
attaches to the side of a dish to help  
keep the probe in position when  
temperature cooking foods such as  
chili or soup. To use the probe  
properly, follow directions on  
page 10.  
Step 8: Remove probe and food  
from the oven.  
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.

the desired serving temperature.  
Unlike  
COOK/HOLD,

AUTO ROAST uses up to 3 power  
settings which automatically  
switch during roasting, thus  
providing even, tender cooking  
without overcooking.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

results.  
Q. May I use Auto Reheat when I  
am reheating many foods in more  
than one dish or casserole?  
A. Oven senses steam too  
which shortens the reheating time

A. No. Because of different food  
densities, attention needed during

reheated best by Time Cook.  
Q. Would my plastic containers

Use microwave-safe casseroles or  
bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If  
lids are not available, use plastic

Manual Defrosting  
The Manual Defrost setting is  
designed for speedy thawing of  
frozen food and is one of the great  
advantages of a microwave oven.  
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).  
Use the Manual Defrost setting to  
quickly thaw foods such as bread,  
rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen

the oven signals and flashes  
then automatically shuts off.  
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 about in 1/2;  
Power level 10 cuts the total  
defrosting time to approximately  
1/3. During either, rotate or stir  
food frequently.  
Power level 3 is automatically set  
for defrosting, but you may change  
this for more flexibility.  
Step 5: Turn package over, close  
door and repeat Steps 2 and 3 to set

A. When using Code 1, there is no

A. If you prepared the sauce in the

too much remaining moisture in

For example, if CODE 4 cooks your

Q. If my food is not completely

If you want a longer cooking time  
than a code provides, add a 9 after

A. Use Time Cook I and power

Q. Are there any other foods  
which are best Time Cooked,

A. 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

When microwaving with the oven  
shelf, some techniques will differ  
from the cookbook which came  
with your oven. It is important to  
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, or372 pounds are not  
recommended for shelf cooking.

Next, lower the front until the shelf  
support guides fit onto the support  
guides located at each side of the  
oven in the front.  
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.  
When properly positioned, the shelf  
should fit snugly in place, be level  
and not touch the back or sidewall  
of the oven.  
maybe placed in small  
individual ceramic or plastic bowls  
or divided plates.  
If arcing occurs when using the  
shelf to cook more than one food  
at the same time, turn the oven  
off. Make sure the shelf is  
positioned right-side-up on all  
four shelf supports and not  
touching oven walls.  
Use pot holders when handling  
heated together with your  
oven shelf, especially when heating  
amounts of food. Extra steam  
generated from multiple food  
cooking may make cookware hotter  
than with regular microwaving.  
Use wax paper or plastic wrap  
instead of lids on casseroles. Lids  
may add too much height to dish.

When heating several different  
types of food together, foods which  
should be served hot must be  
placed on the oven floor, while

Also, it is important to remember  
that foods absorb microwave

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance must be grounded.  
Use of Adapter Plugs  
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 equipped with a  
power cord having a grounding  
wire with a grounding plug. The  
plug must be plugged into an outlet  
that is properly installed and  
Usage situations where

Do 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  
Because of potential safety hazards  
under certain conditions, we  
strongly recommend against the  
use of an adapter plug. However,

Care and Cleaning  
Your new Microwave Oven is  
a valuable appliance. Protect  
it from misuse by following  
these rules:  
Door (inside). Window: Wipe up  
spatters daily and wash when soiled  
with a damp cloth. Rinse  
and dry.  
How to Clean the  
Case. Clean the outside of your  
oven with soap and damp cloth,  
rinse with damp cloth and then dry.  
Wipe the window clean with a  
damp cloth. Chrome trim is best  
wiped with a damp cloth and then  
with a dry towel.  
Metal and plastic parts on door:  
Wipe frequently with a damp  
cloth to remove all soil. DO NOT  
USE ABRASIVES, SUCH AS  
POWDERS OR STEEL  
AND PLASTIC PADS. THEY  
WILL MAR THE SURFACE.  
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.  
Control Panel. Wipe with a damp  
cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use  
cleaning sprays, large amounts of  
soap and water, abrasives, or sharp  
objects on the panel—they can  
damage it.  
Special note when using  
. Don’t use sharp-edged utensils  
on your oven. The inside and  
outside oven walls can be scratched.  
The control panel can be damaged.  
Brown ‘N Sear Dish: If grease  
is present, high heat generated on  
bottom of a Brown ‘N Sear dish  
may cause the grease to burn onto  
the oven floor. This may be  
Door Surface. When cleaning  
surfaces of door and oven that
