MICROWAVmG T~S
●
Make sure all cookware used in your microwave
oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable for microwaving. ”
●
If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:
Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water—set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.
●
Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap
can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.
●
Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating or rearranging.
●
Steam builds up pressure in foods which are
tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg yolks md chicken livers to prevent bursting.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Internal temperature is the best test of doneness for many foods.
Use Temp Coo~old to cook a variety of foods to the desired finished food temperature. The Time
Cook setting is recommended for batters, doughs, frozen foods and foods which are difficult to cook precisely with the probe.
Temp CootiHold takes the guesswork out of cooking, because the oven automatically switches to “Hold” setting after reaching the preset food temperature from
90°F. to 199°F. and maintains that temperature for up to one hour or until you touch the CLEAWOFF pad.
NOTE: Oven automatically switches to “Hold” when preset food temperature is reached.
The Temperature Probe
The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food. (Its appearance may vary from picture shown.) The probe must be used when using Temp Coo~old or Auto Roast. See How to Use the Temperature
Probe section for proper use of your probe.
Cable

How to Use the Temperature Probe
Place the probe so that the point rests in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast, or into the cut end or meatiest part of boneless ham or lamb. The point should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh, below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
For dishes such as meatloaf or casserole, insert the probe into the center.

AUTO~TIC ROAST~G
Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to
the desired serving temperature. Unlike Temp
Coo~old, 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 regular roasting, only tender roasts should be Auto Roasted until specified internal temperatures are reached. Less tender roasts should be microwaved by time.
How to Use the Temperature Probe
Place the probe so that the point rests in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast, or into the cut end or the meatiest part of boneless ham or lamb. The point should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.
Insert the probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh, below and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
For dishes such as meatloaf or casserole, insert the probe into the center.

DEFROSTING BY T~E
Time Defrost (Power Level 3)
Time Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen food and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven.
Use Time Defrost to quic~y thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. The Auto
Defrost setting is prefened for meat and poultry because the oven sets the defrosting time and power levels for you.
●
Power level 3 is automatically set when you press
TIME DEFROST pad, but you may change this for more flexibility.
I
How to Change Power Level
After setting defrosting time, touch POWER
LEVEL pad, then touch desired number for new power level. Then touch START.
To bwome better acquainted with the defrost function, defrost a 10 oz. package of frozen strawberries by following the steps below.
Step 1: Place a package of frozen strawberries in the oven and close door. Be sure package contains no metal.

Step 3: Select one hdf of the total defrosting time recommended. For example, touch pads 4,0 and O for 4 minutes.
~[ Step 4: Touch START. When
u
the~ycle is completed, the oven signals and flashes “End,” then automatically shuts off.
Step 5: Turn the package over, close the door and repeat
Steps 2 and 3 to set remaining hdf of defrosting time.
Touch START.
Step 6: When the oven signals and flashes “End,” open the door, remove the package and separate strawbeties to finish defrosting.
Defrosting Tips
●
Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or se~arated part ~f the way through the defrosting time.
●
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Qumtions 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.
A.
Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
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.
AUTO ~HEAT
Auto Reheat lets you touch just 2 pads to bring previously prepared foods to serving temperature. Whh many leftovers there is no need to rely on guesswork.
By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food heats, this feature automatically adjusts the oven’s heating time to various types and amounts of pre-cooked food.
Because all cooking containers must be covered during automatic reheating, this feature is best with foods you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE: Use of the metal shelf tith Auto Reheat is NOT recommended.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of previously prepared foods including leftovers can be Auto
Reheated.
Auto Reheat is recommended for single-servings of food or plates of leftovers.
Foods Not Recommended
Bread products, foods that must be reheated uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after reheating should not be Auto Reheated.
It is best to use Time

Questions & Answers
Q. Mmy food is not completely reheated after using Auto Reheat, what should I do?
A. Use Time Cook to reheat for additional time until desired temperature is reached.
Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto
Reheat?
A. Oven senses steam too quickly, which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat.
AUTO COOK
The Auto Cook feature may be used to eliminate your need to guess how long to set cooking time.
By actually sensing the steam that escapes as food microwaves, this feature automatically adjusts the oven’s cooking time to various types and amounts
of food.
Because most cooking containers must be covered during Auto Cook, this feature is best with foods that you want to steam or retain moisture.
NOTE: Use of the metal shelf with Auto Cook is NOT recommended.
Foods Recommended
A wide variety of foods including meats, fish casseroles, vegetables, leftovers and convenience foods can be
Auto Cooked.
Ewy to Use
Simply touch three control pads—AUTO COOK, desired CODE, and START. The word “AUTO” appears on the display and the sensor is activated to sense steam from food.
Foods Not Recommended
Foods that must be cooked uncovered, foods that require constant attention, foods that require addition of ingredients during cooking, and foods calling for a dry look or crisp surface after cooking should not be Auto
Cooked. It is best to Time Cook them.
Foods that microwave best using the temperature probe should be Temp Cooked or Auto Roasted.
Keep Door Closed
Do not open the oven door while the word “AUTO” is displayed—steam escaping from the oven can affect cooking performance. If the door is opened, close the door and touch START immediately.

Auto Cook Codes
Auto Cook codes 1 through 8 are designed to give you easy automatic results with a number of foods.
Code 1, designed for reheating foods quickly, turns the oven off automatically as soon as the sensor detects steam from the foods.
When codes 2 through 8 are selected, the oven determines how much additional cooking time is needed after steam has been sensed, automatically switches to ~E COOK and signals. The word
“AUTO” on the display is then replaced by countdown numbers indicating remaining cooking time. When the signal is heard, the oven door may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.
Example:

How to Adjust Auto Cook Codes to Suit Your Taste
By simply adding a 1 after any Auto Cook code number, you can set the oven to cook for 2090 less time than the code would regularly provide.
For example, if code 4 cooks your chicken more done than you like it, set code 41 next time and you’ll get
20% shorter cooking time.
If you want a longer cooking time than a code provides, add a 9 after the code.
For the chicken in the example at left, code 49 would provide 20% longer cooking time than the regular code 4 would provide.
Example:

AUTOWTIC COO~G CONTAINERS & CO~RS
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 in the Microwaving Tips section.
●
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
container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.
●
Be sure the outside of the cooking container 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 the Automatic Cooking Control
Guide.
For frozen foods in metal trays, remove foil covering and baked goods, reinsert tray into box and close ends of box.
Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls for entrees and vegetables.
Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be vented over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.
Slit plastic pouches 1 inch as shown above. Break food up thoroughly after oven signals.
Paper plateewhile 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.
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 the Automatic Cooking
Control Guide.
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.
Follow Automatic Cooking Control
Guide setting for casseroles. Cover casserole meat and vegetables with sauce. If they are not cool, it is better to use Time Cook.

How to Insert the Shelf Into the Oven
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than 1 food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.
Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf.
Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2 levels. To prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not using it.
I I
To insert the shelf, slide it all the way in until it drops into place on the shelf supports.
Make sure the raised bumps on the sides of the shelf are on the top or the shelf will not rest solidly on the shelf supports.
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 oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom 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 together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
Place on the floor larger or more dense foods, which need the most heating, such as leftover
I I
fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on the oven shelf 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 prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
