INSTRUCTIONS Using your microwave oven Microwave oven controls There are four parts in the control section: -The Timer -The Cook Power Control -The Probe Temperature Control - Cooktop Fan and Light Controls Instructions for each control are covered in the following pages. Read them carefully. The Timer The timer can be set for up to 45 minutes. This controls how long the microwave oven cooks The Cook Power Control The Cook Power Control allows you to control the cooking speed. See the Cook Power Chart on page 7 for the different percentages of cooking powers. The Probe Temperature Control The Probe Temperature Control allows you to cook by temperature instead of by time. See your MICRO MENUS* Cookbook for helpful information on cooking different types of food. ‘Tmk Cooktop fan and light controls will not turn the fan OFF.) Push and hold the Light Button until the Cooktop button again to turn OFF Light comes on, Press Cooking in your microwave oven Be sure to read the MICRO MENUS* Cookbook packed information about: l What microwave energy IS l How food IS cooked by microwave energy l What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness . Safety tips l Utensils to use when cooking in the microwave oven l Cooking times for different foods with the microwave oven. It contains Important things to remember to get the BEST COOKING RESULTS. ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food. l Stir, turn or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness wtth all recipes l If a glass cover IS not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or Saran’ Wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking. l Most foods continue to cook after they are removed from the oven. Cover food and let stand 5 to10 minutes depending on size and density l Setting the controls Be sure You understand the basics of microwave oven cooking before you begin. Start with recipes from your MICRO MENUS* Cookbook. Follow the directions carefully. DO THIS... 1. Open the oven door and put the food in the oven. DO NOT CLOSE THE OVEN DOOR. 2. Set the cooking time by turning the Timer Knob clockwise. To reduce the cooking time, turn the Timer Knob counterclockwise. To set timer for less than 1 minute, turn timer past 1 minute then to desired time. 3. Set the Cook Power to the desired setting from HIGH to WARM. For best results, some recipes call for lower Cook Powers. [See the Cook Power Chart on the next page.) The lower the Cook Power, the slower the cooking. ~ COOK POWER CHART Recipes In the MICRO MENUS’ Cookbook use Cook Power settings from HIGH to WARM Recipes from other books and magazines may use different Cook Power percentages The following chord may be helpful HIGH - 100% of full power REHEAT - 90% of full power MED-HIGH - 80% of iull power MED - 60% of full power MED-LOW/DEFROST 30% of full power WARM - 10% of full power 4. Close the door. The oven light will come on and cooking will begin. You will hear a fan running during oven operation. L To stop the oven 1. Turn Timer Knob counterclockwise OR to “0:’ 2. Open the oven door. Opening the oven door stops the oven so you can stir, turn, rearrange or add ingredients to the food. Close the oven door to complete cooking. If you remove the food, set the timer to “0” before closing the oven door so it will not operate. Defrosting in your microwave oven Use the MED-LOW/DEFROST setting to thaw frozen food before cooking. This setting cooks at 30% of full power for the desired defrosting time. For suggested defrosting times, see the guide on the oven or the defrosting chart in the MICRO MENUS* Cookbook. 5. When the set time is up, you will hear a bell and the oven will shut off automatically. The light will go off and the oven fan will stop. Cooking with the Temperature Probe followed by Keep Warm The Temperature Probe helps take the guesswork out of cooking roasts and casseroles. See page 10 for helpful information on cooking different types of food After the food reaches the temperature you set, the oven will automatically keep the food warm for up to 60 minutes. KEEP WARM will only operate if the Temperature Probe is plugged in. It will continue to operate for 60 minutes or until the probe is removed. Do not hold food for more than an hour. The quality of the food will suffer with extended time. DO THIS... 1. Insert at least i 2 of the probe Into the food 4. Set the Cook Power Control to the recommended setting. 8 Socket 2. Place food in the oven and insert the probe plug into the socket on the top oven wall near the front. 3. Make sure the probe cable does not touch any part of the oven interior. Damage to the probe or oven could result. Close the door. 5. Set the Probe Temperature Control to the recommended temperature. 6. Close the door. The oven light will come on and cooking will begin. When the probe senses the temperature you selected, the oven will automatically go into the Keep Warm Cycle. (Note: The Temperature Probe should always be unplugged and removed with the food to cancel the Keep Warm Cycle and prevent the possibility of arcing.) Hints for using the temperature DO... probe DON’T... use hot pads when removing probe from food or food from oven l stir foods during cooking when recommended l stir soups, casseroles and drinks before serving 9 cover roasts with foil and let stand a few minutes after cooking Remove foil if you decide to cook it longer. l unplug probe when food is removed to stop oven operation when door is closed. l l l l l l Temperature probe cooking tips For casseroles, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the food. Stir foods when recommended. Replace the probe. l l l l let probe cable or probe touch any part of the oven interior. Damage to the probe or the oven could result. let probe touch foil (if used]. Arcing could result. Foil can be kept away from probe with wooden toothpicks. Remove foil if arcing occurs. use paper, plastic wrap or plastic containers. Fire could result. They will be in the oven too long. use probe in regular oven. Damage to probe will result force probe into frozen food. Damage to probe will result. For liquids, balance the probe on a wooden spoon or spatula so the tip of the probe is in the center of the liquid. Casseroles cooked using the Temperature Probe should be made from precooked foods. Do not use raw meats, raw vegetables and cream sauces in casseroles. Dry casseroles do not work well. Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in the microwave oven before inserting the probe. If you are cooking individual servings such as mugs of soup, check the probe setting in several of the items-all the mugs may not heat at the same rate. l l l For roasts, the tip of the probe should be in the center of the largest muscle, but not touching fat or bone. Dry meat loaf mixtures don’t work well. Remember that roasts may vary in size, shape and composition. Use the timings for minutes per pound as a guideline as well as the Temperature Probe. Starchy vegetables tend to stick to the Temperature Probe. Cleaning the probe 1. Remove probe from mtcrowave oven using hot pads 2 Wipe probe with a hot sudsy cloth. Use a plastic scouring foods. 3 Do not clean the probe in the dishwasher. pad to remove stubborn 9 Temperature probe cooking chart Food cooked temperature The following food and the temperature in a microwave oven will continue to cook during the standing time.
