Q. Can I defrost and hold only?  
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only  
want to defrost a food, hold it, and

Cooking Tips  
Internal temperature is the best  
test of doneness for many foods.  
●
Use a lower power level; it will  
heat more evenly even though  
requiring more time.  
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.  
“FOOD  
and  
“POWER 5“ show on display.  
Be sure frozen food has been  
completely defrosted before inserting  
probe. Probe may break off if used  
in frozen foods.  
Step 5: Touch START. If internal  
temperature of the roast is less  
than  
display will show  
“COOL”; if temperature is  
or above, display shows  
temperature counting up.  
●
Cover foods loosely for moisture  
control and quick, even heating.  
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.

The oven will then hold

Step 7: Touch the CLEAR/OFF  
pad to stop the cycle.  
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.  
Step 8: Remove probe and food  
from the oven.  
Note: Oven automatically switches  
to “Hold” when preset food  
temperature is reached.

How to Adjust the  
POP Program to  
Provide a Shorter or  
Cook  
If your favorite popcorn is not  
completely popped, there is a  
simple adjustment you can make.  
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.  
Step 3: Touch POPCORN pad.  
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  
appears on the display panel. Enter  
new power level number and touch  
START.  
Touch the POPCORN pad and then  
touch number pad 9. The word

with a plus sign beside it. The plus  
sign indicates 20 seconds more  
cooking time is being provided.  
If your favorite popcorn is over-  
cooked, there is another  
adjustment you can make.  
Q. Can 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.  
Step 4: Touch START. The popcorn  
sensor automatically calculates the  
cooking time.  
Q. I opened the door to check on  
the popcorn and “Error”  
appeared on the display. Why?  
Touch the POPCORN pad and then  
touch number pad 1. The word  
“POP” will appear on the display  
with a minus sign beside it. The  
minus sign indicates 20 seconds  
less cooking time is being provided.  
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.  
After the popcorn sensor detects  
steam, the oven signals and  
switches to Time Cook for the  
remaining cooking time needed.

tender cooking results without  
overcooking.

Why didn’t this work?  
Appropriate containers and coverings  
help assure good reheating results.  
Q. If my food is not completely  
reheated after using the suggested  
code, what should I do?  
A. Food must have some moisture

other such foods do not have  
enough moisture.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the

. Never use tight-sealing plastic  
lids—they can prevent steam from  
escaping and cause poor reheating  
results.  
Q. May use Auto Reheat when I  
am reheating many foods in more

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?  
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.  
A. No, most types of plastic

Use the Time Defrost setting to  
thaw foods such as bread,  
rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen  
dinners. The Auto Defrost setting

cut off after the Auto cycle when  
using Auto Cook code 1, when it  
does not for other settings?  
Q. My scalloped  
were  
not completely cooked when I  
removed the dish after Auto  
Cook. What is wrong?  
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.  
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.  
For example, if code 4 cooks your  
chicken more done than you like it,  
set  
next time and you’ll get  
Q. If my food is not completely  
cooked after using the suggested  
code, what should I do?  
20% shorter cooking time.  
If you want a longer cooking time  
than a code provides, add a 9 after  
the code.  
A. Use Time Cook I and power  
level 10 for a few minutes until  
completion.  
For the chicken in the example  
above, code 49 would provide 20  
longer cooking time than the regular  
code 4 would provide.  
Q.  
fresh or frozen  
require a standing period after  
cooking with Auto Cook?  
Q. Are there any other foods  
which are best Time Cooked,  
rather than Auto 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  
time also enhances the overall  
flavor and appearance of most  
vegetables.  
A. Bakery foods, candies, melted  
chocolate or foods when a dry or  
crisp surface is desirable are  
cooked best by Time Cook.  
Q. Would my plastic containers  
with very tight fitting lids be  
appropriate for Automatic  
Cooking?  
Touch  
COOK pad.  
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the  
dish in Auto Cook?  
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.  
A. Oven senses steam too  
which shortens the  
and leaves food undercooked.  
Cover tightly and reset Auto Cook.

seconds, “START” flashes on display.  
Q. I tried to warm some chow  
noodles using Auto Cook.  
Why didn’t this work?  
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.  
A. Food must have some moisture  
in order to create steam which  
helps the auto sensor function.  
Extremely dry foods such as chow  
noodles, potato chips and  
other such foods do not have  
enough moisture.  
Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetables  
require water when using Auto  
Cook?

until first oven signal, then rotate  
dish 1/2 turn if necessary. Close  
door and touch START to finish  
cooking.  
Q. May I use Auto Cook when I  
am cooking many foods in more  
than one dish or casserole?  
A. Yes. Add water to the vegetables  
as recommend on guide and cover  
for even, complete cooking.  
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.  
Q. Should I use Auto Cook to  
cook pudding or sauces?  
A. Most pudding and sauce recipes  
require stirring many times during

How to Heat or Reheat  
of Food  
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  
food continue cooking.  
I
I
Heat or reheat different types of  
food at High (10). To determine  
times. add times for all  
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  
(top to bottom) and rotate foods 1/2  
turn. Continue microwaving at High  
(10) for 8 minutes. Check dinners  
foods  
(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.  
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.

for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue  
heating, if necessary, until hot.

seems less  
done than desired, return it to the  
box and continue heating on floor  
1 to 2 more minutes.  
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.  
How to Reheat Several  
Different  
Together  
of Foods  
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  
bottom) after half of time. Several  
small bowls of leftovers maybe  
heated in the same way, stirring  
and reversing positions after half  
of time.  
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.  
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.
