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 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.

Automatic Roasting
AUTO ROAST uses the
temperature probe to cook to
the desired serving temperature.
Unlike

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

Use microwave-safe casseroles or

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

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.

Q. Can I open the door during

and press START. The oven begins
operating if time is left on timer.
If not, reset timer.

If arcing occurs when using the

positioned right-side-up on all
four shelf supports and not

Use pot holders when handling

generated from multiple food
cooking may make cookware hotter
than with regular microwaving.
Use wax paper or plastic wrap

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

Do not use an adapter plug in these
situations because disconnecting of
the power cord places undue strain

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
