a ~ookcomplete oven mealsinstead ofjust onefood item.Potatoes, othervegetables, andsomedessertswill cook togetherwith a main-dish casserole, meatIoaf, chicken orroast. Choosefoodsthatcookat thesametem-perature in approximately the sametime.

a Use residual heat in oven when-ever possible to finish cooking cas-seroles, oven meals, etc. Also addrolls or precooked desserts to warmoven, using residual heat to warmthem.

Microwaving Tips● Make sure all utensils used inyour microwave oven are labeled“suitable for microwaving”. Checkyour Cookbook for specific testto determine “microwave-safe”utensils.

s Paper towels, wax paper, andplastic wrap can be used to coverdishes in order to retain moistureand prevent spattering.

s Some microwaved foods requirestirring, rotating, or rearranging.Check your Cookbook for specificinstructions.

● Some foods such as unshelledeggs and hot dogs must be piercedto allow steam to escape duringcooking.

When Power is Connectedto the OvenThe panel displays five 8s and18 POWER on the upper portionand all of the oven functions on thelower portion. After 15 seconds, alllights disappear and “RESET”appears in the upper portion. Touchthe CLEAR/OFF pad and oven isready for use and the clock canbe set.

If power is disrupted at any time,the above sequence reoccurs, andyou must reset CLOCK aftertouching CLEAR/OFF.

Mikxw%wi? 2W?3:J Read and follow the specific“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOIDPOSSIBLE EXPOSURE TOEXCESSIVE MICROWAVEENERGY” found on page 2.

J To reduce the risk of fire inthe oven cavity:

—Do not overcook food. Care-fully attend appliance if paper,plastic, or other combustiblematerials are placed inside theoven to facilitate cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties frompaper or plastic bags beforeplacing bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwaveoven to dry newspapers.

—Do not pop popcorn in yourmicrowave oven unless in aspecial microwave popcornaccessory or unless you usepopcorn labeled for use inmicrowave ovens.

—Do not operate the oven whileempty to avoid damage to theoven and the danger of fire. If byaccident the oven should runempty a minute or two, no harmis done. However, try to avoidoperating the oven empty at alltimes—it saves energy and pro-longs life of the oven.

—If materials inside the ovenshould ignite, keep oven doorclosed, turn oven off, and dis-connect the power cord, or shutoff power at the fuse or circuitbreaker panel.

~ Some products such aswhole eggs and sealed con-tainers—for example, closedglass jars-may explode andshould not be heated in thisoven.

Avoid heating baby food inglass jars, even without theirlids; especially meat and eggmixtures.

See door surface cleaninginstructions on page 48.

.

I Don’t defrost frozen bever-ages in narrow necked bottles;especially carbonated ones.Even if the container is opened,pressure can build up. This cancause the container to burst,resulting in injury.

3 Use metal only as directed inCookbook. Foil strips as usedonmeat roastsare helpfulwhen usedas shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners maybe microwavedin foil trays less than 3/4” high;remove top foil cover and returntray to box. When using metal inthe microwave oven, bep metal(other than metal shelf) at least1 inch away from sides of oven.

~ Cooking utensilsmaybecome hot because of heattransferred from the heatedfood. This is especially true ifplastic wrap has been coveringthe top and handles of theutensil. Potholders may beneeded to handle the utensil.

3 Sometim~ the oven floorcan become too-hot to touch.Be careful touching the floordurihg and after cooking.

~ Do not use any thermometerin food you are microwavingunless that thermometer isdesigned or recommended foruse in the microwave oven.

~ Remove the temperatureprobe from the oven when notusing it to cook with. If you leavethe probe inside the oven withoutinserting it in food or liquid, andturn on microwave energy, it cancreate electrical arcing in theoven, and damage oven walls.~ Boiiing eggs (in and out ofshell) is not recommended formicrowave cooking. Pressurecan build up inside egg yolk andmay cause it to burst, resultingin injury.

~ Poods with unbroken outer“skin” such as potatoes, hotdogs or sausages, tomatoes,apples, chicken livers and othergiblets, and eggs (see above)should be pierced to allowsteam to escape during cooking.

5

a Plastic Utensiis—Plasticutensils designed for microwavecooking are very useful, butshould be used carefully. Evenmicrowave plastic may not be astolerant of overcooking condi-tions as are glass or ceramicmaterials and may soften orchar if subjected to short periodsof overcooking. In longer expo-sures to overcooking, the foodand utensils could ignite. Forthese reasons: 1) Use micro-wave plastics only “and usethem” in strict compliance withthe utensil manufacturer’srecommendations. 2) Do notsubject empty utensils to micro-waving. 3) Do not permit childrento use plastic utensils withoutcomplete supervision.

e “Boilabie”cooking pouchesand tightly closed plastic bagsshould be slit, pierced or ventedas directed in Cookbook. If theyare not, plastic could burst dur-ing or immediately after cooking,possibly resulting in injury. Also,plastic storage containers shouldbeat least partially uncoveredbecause they form a tight seal.When cooking with containerstightly covered with plastic wrap,remove covering carefully anddirect steam away from handsand face.

~ Use of the DOUBLE DUTY’”shelf accessory. (See your Cook-book for proper use.)

—Remove the shelf from ovenwhen not in use.

—Do not store or cook withshelf on floor of oven. Productdamage may result.

—Use potholders when handlingthe shelf and utensils. They maybe hot.

—Do not use microwavebrowning dish on shelf. Theshelf could overheat. Use ofshelf with Automatic Cookingfeature is not recommended.

Automatic Cooking in

The AUTO COOK pad may be usedto eliminate your need to look upcooking time in the Cookbook orguessing how long to set cookingtime. By actually sensing the steamand aroma which escape as foodmicrowaves, this feature automati-cally adjusts the oven’s cookingtime to various types and amountsof food.

After touching the AUTO COOKpad, desired Code number andSTART, you will see the word AUTOon the display, which indicates thatthe sensor has been activated to

MATCH THE AMOUNT OF FOOD lU

Your Microwave Oven

sense steam and aroma from thefood. To prevent the escape ofsteam and aroma from the oven,do not open the door while theword AUTO is on the display. Ifdoor is opened, ERROR appears.Close door and touch STARTimmediately.

Setting 1, which is designed foreasy reheating of foods, automati-cally turns the oven off as soon asthe sensor detects steam from thefoods. Other Auto Cook control set-tings, which are for fresh or frozenfoods, need additional time aftersteam and aroma have been sensed.For these foods, the oven deter-mines the amount of additional timeneeded, then automatically switchesthe oven to Time Cook for the neces-sary cooking time remaining. Ovenbeeps when it switches the oven toTime Cook (AUTO on display is

replaced by numbers indicatingcooking time), and oven door canbe opened.

Be careful of steam when removingtight covers. When you removecover, direct the steam away fromhands and face.

Be sure the outside of the cookingcontainer and inside of microwaveoven are dry.

A few foods need stirrring orrotating after partial cooking. Checkthe “Automatic Cooking Guide”section on page 15.

We suggest covering foods thattend to spatter to keep the interior

. of the oven clean. This also helpsthe food heat more evenly.

Note Use of the DOUBLEDUTV” shelf with Automatic~ooking is not recommended.

THE SIZE OF THE CONTAINER. FILL CONTAINERS AT LEAST 1/2FULL.BE SURE THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKING CONTAINER AND INSIDE OF MiCROWAVE OVEN ARE DRY.

Use microwave-safe casseroles orbowls for entrees and vegetables.Cover with lid to dish. Wax paper orloose plastic wrap can also be used.

Use oblong or square containers forchicken or corn on the cob. Coverwith wax paper or loose plastic toprevent spattering.

Do not use paper plates with auto-matic cooking. Use microwave-safeplates or bowls for reheating. Coverwith plastic wrap or wax paper andtuck edges under dish (you can stilluse paper plates with regular TimeCooking, Defrosting, etc.).

Frozen Entrees in Paperboard Tray:Do not remove film over tray; re-move tray from box. Thick entreesmay need longer time. See chart onpage 22, Frozen Food in Metai Tray:Remove foil, reinsert into box andclose ends,

Follow control panel or AutomaticCooking Chart settings for casse-roles. Cover casserole meat andvegetables with sauce. Cool hotingredients or sauces. If not, useTiME COOK.

Example of How to UseAutomatic Cooking

Beep sounds when steam is sensedand AUTO is replaced by cooktime. At this point, door may beopened to check foods if desired.When done, oven beeps and stops.

Place covered food in oven. TouchAUTO COOK pad. “Enter Code”flashes on display.

Touch number pad for desiredcode. Code 2 shows and “Start”flashes on display. Touch START.

Word AUTO shows on display,indicating steam sensor is acti-vated. DO NOT OPEN DOOR.COOKING PERFORMANCE MAYBE AFFECTED.

NOTE: Refer to Automatic CookingChart on oven when door is openand also on page 22 of this book.

Understanding AutomaticCooking Codes &Preference ControlAutomatic cooking codes 1 through9 are designed to give you easyautomatic results with a numberof foods. .

Codes are arranged in lowest tohighest amount of power. Forexample, Code 1 gives least micro-wave cooking power, Code 2 gives.more power than Code 1, Code 3incre~es power over Code 2 andso on.

The Preference ControlAnother feature to give you flexi-bility in Automatic Cooking is thepreference control, which can beused to “fine tune” the power ofCodes 2 through 9. By simply add-ing a 1 after a Code, you can set theoven to cook using 20°/0 less timethan the code would regularlydeliver. For example, if Code 4 cooksyour vegetables more done thanyou like them, set Code 41 nexttime and you will get 20°/0 lesscooking time.

Likewise, if you wish slightly moretime than a code delivers, add a 9after the Code. For the vegetablesin the example above, Code 49would provide 20% more time forcooking than would the regularCode 4.

Touch AUTO COOK Pad. “EnterCode” flashes on display.

Code 1, which has the least power,is used for quick reheating jobswhile the longer cooking foods likestew or chili use higher codes. ACooking Chart and recipes, startingon page 15 give many tested usesfor automatic cooking codes.

Touch number pads 4 and 1 in thatorder. Code 4 shows and “Start”flashes on display.

Touch START. AUTO shows ondisplay. If you wish to check foods,open door after first oven signal.Close door and touch START.

Automatic Cooking Questions and AnswersQ. Why does my oven automaticallycut off after the AUTO cycle whenusing Auto Cook Control Code 1when it does not for other settings?

L When using Code 1, there is nosecond phase of minutes countingdown. All the cooking is completedin the first phase or AUTO.

Q. If the food is not completelycooked after using the suggestedCode, what should I do?

A= Differences in recipes may resultin different cooking times. UseTime Cook and Power Level 10 fora few minutes until completion orm-cover and use Auto Cook Code 1if more time is needed.

Q. Do all fresh or frozen vegetablesrequire a standing period aftercooking with Auto Cook?

L Most vegetables are cooked to acrisp state during Auto Cook, justas in regular micr~waving. There-fore, it is recommended that you letthe vegetables stand for up to 5minutes depending on size anddensity of pieces. This standingtime also enhances the overallflavor and appearance of mostvegetables.

Q. What if I don’t cover the dish inAuto Cook?

& While cooking without the coverdoes not affect sensor performance,we suggest covering dishes thatmay spatter to keep the oven clean.Covering also helps foods heatevenly.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of foodmake a difference when using AutoCook?

A Y*, in some cases, larger pieceswill require additional Time Cook-ing. Be sure to check suggestedarrangement of pieces in the dish,since proper arrangement is oftena successful tip in regularmicrowaving.

Q. Shouid I use Auto Cook to cookpudding or sauces?

A Most pudding and sauce recipesrequire stirring many times duringcmking; therefore, Time Cook isrecommended since you should notopen the door during the AUTOphase of cooking without affectingend cooking resuits.

Q. My scalloped potatoes were notcompletely cooked when I removedthe dish after Auto Cook. What iswrong?

A ‘If-you prepared the sauce in theoven prior to combining the saucewith potatoes, there may have beentoq much remaining moisture in theoven. Make sure you dry the ovencompletely before using Auto Cooksince this function operates properlyby sensing steam and aroma in theoven. Also starting Auto Cook withhot foods creates steam and aromain the oven too soon, and decreasesthe first sensing cycie.

Q. Are there any other foods whichare best Time Cooked, rather thanAuto Cooked?

A. Bakery foods, candies, meltedchocolate or foods when a dry orcrisp surface is desirable, arecooked best by Time Cook.

Q. Do fresh or frozen vegetablesrequire water when using AutoCook?

AL Yes. Add water to the vegetablesas recommended on chart and coverwell for even, complete cooking.

Q. Wouid my piastic containers withvery tight fitting lids be appropriatefor Automatic Cooking?

A No, moat types of piastic storagedishes, butter tubs, etc. with tightfitting iids are not recommended formicrowaving. Also tight fitting lidsmay prevent adequate steam andaroma from escaping and food maynot cook properly during AutomaticCooking.

Q. I tried to warm some chow meinnoodles using Auto Cook. Whydidn’t this work?

A Food must have some moisturein order to create steam which helpsthe auto sensor function. Extremeiydry foods such as chow mein noo-dles, potato chips and other such +’foods do not have enough moisture.

Q. Shouid I use Auto Cook when Iam cooking many foods in morethan one dish or casseroie?

A No, because of different fooddensities, attention needed duringcooking, and food amounts, it isbest to use Time Cook whencooking many foods.

Automatic Cooking Recipe Guide

Automatic Cooking Control is afully automatic electronic controlsystem that lets your microwaveoven do the cooking for you. Thecharts and recipes in this sectionare designed to help you make themost of this feature.

Standard cooking techniquesrequire setting the oven for a speci-fied cooking time or a selected fin-ished temperature. And that meanslooking up recipes in a cookbook...ttying to convert old recipes formicrowave cooking. . .or just resoR-ing to guesswork. This controlmethod works on an entirely dif-ferent basis-with a special elec-tronic sensor that detects steamand aromas fro-m cooking food.The oven “knows” how the food iscooking; so it can automatically setthe correct cooking time and main-tain the proper power level for dif-ferent types and amounts of food.And it’s adjustable to suit your indi-vidual taste.

Easy to UseSimply touch two control pads-AUTO COOK and the desired Codenumber-and then START. A charton the oven control panel gives alist of Codes for frequently pre-pared foods. The display showsAUTO until steam is sensed andthen signals, and displays timecounting down. During AUTO, ovenshould not be opened, but afteroven signals, door may be openedto check foods if desired. Check theAutomatic Cooking Chart forsuggestions.

Appropriate containers and cover-ings help assure good cookingresults. Containers should match insize to the size of the food beingcooked. Coverings such as waxpaper, the lid that came with thecontainer, or microwave-safe plasticdomes are ideal. For examples ofcontainers and coverings, see page12 and the following recipes.

Preference ControlWith Preference Control, you canadjust the Automatic Cooking Fea-turo to ywr individual taste byadding either “l” or ’9’ after Codenumber. If after trying the suggestedCode, you would prefer less cookingtime, simply add the number “l”after the Code and the oven auto-matically lessens the cooking timeby 20%. If you wish more cookingtime, add “9” after the Code toincrease cooking time by 20%

Automatic RoastingAutomatic Roasting uses the tem-perature probe rather than the elec- -tronic sensor to cook meats to thedesired degree of doneness. Theoven continually monitors the food’sinternal temperature. Unlike ordi-nary Temperature Cooking, the ovenchanges power levels two or threetimes depending on the degree ofdoneness during cooking to giveyou the best results automatically.After cooking the oven switchesautomatically to Hold for an hour.Food stays warm withoutovercooking.

Automatic Roasting in Your Microwave Oven

See Auto Roast Chart on page 24.

Auto Roast USeSthe temperatureprobe to cook to the desired eervingtemperature. Unlike T6rnp Cook/HoId, which uses a singie powerievei, Auto Roast is designed to useup to 3 power settings which auto-matically switch during roasting, foreven and tender cooking resuitewithout overcooking

u-l?

Just as in conventional roasting,only tender roastsshould be AutoRoasted until specified internaltemperatures are reached. Lesstender roastsshould be microwavedby time, according to the Cookbookwhich comes with your oven. Com-plete information on preparingroastsfor microwaving is in yourCookbook.

How to Prepare Roastsfor Auto Roasting

I

Place tender beef roasts on trivet inmicrowave-safe dish. Insert probefrom the front horizontally intocenter meaty area not touchingbone or fat. Cover with wax paper.

Poultry, pork or ham roasts needno trivet. Add % cup water to roastdish, cover with plastic wrap. (Forcooking bag method, see cook-book.) Insert probe into centermeaty area.

Place meat in oven with probe tothe right. Insert cable end of probefirmly into receptacle on oven wall

23

How to Auto RoastBeef to Medium

Step 1: Touch AUTO ROAST Pad.Display flashes “Enter Code”.Touch number pad 3. “START”flashes. Touch START. Displayshows AUTO.

,

Step 2 At 8CP, display switches toshow meat’s internal temperature.

Step 3: Oven monitors internaltemperature, automatically switchingto lower power as meat’s tempera-ture rises. This helps preventtoughening or overcooking.

Step 4 After temperature isreached, oven switches to HOLDfor 1 hr., then shuts off. Hold pre-vents overcooking while keepingmeat warm.

Questions and AnswersQ. Why wasn’t my roast fullycooked even though the tempera-ture on the display was correct andAuto Roast was completed.

A. The temperature probe must beproperly inserted when you AutoRoast. Check your Cookbook to seewhat you might have done wrong.

Q. Do some types of trivetsworkbetter than others?

A Yes. Flat glass trivets generallyprovide more browning to thebottom of meats than plastic trivets.Also, ceramic ridge-bottomedroasting dishes usually work well.Plastic trivets may require meat tobe turned over more often thanglass trivets do because the griddesign and legs let the bottom ofthe meat stay cooler than glasstrivets do.

.’

Q. When I’m cooking with AutoRoast, why doesn’t my roast con-tinue to cook during the holdingtime?

A When your food reaches finishedtemperature, the oven automaticallyswitches to a lower heat level. Theeven temperature that’s maintainedin the food during this holding

,period keeps it warm withoutovercooking.

Set Auto Simmer like you do AutoRoast except touch number pad 6.Display shows AUTO until food is8&, then switches to show tempera-ture until food reaches 18W.

Oven switches to HOLD whenfood’s internal temperature reaches18(P and maintains that temperatureuntil food is done. If stirring is recom-mended, you can reset the oven byretouching START. Touch CLEAR/OFF when cooking is finished.

Using Your Conventional Oven

Your oven is designed to give bestresults in baking, roasting andbroiling when used asrecommended.

Before using it, look at the direc-tions in this book for setting itselectronic controls. Then open theoven and take note of the abbre-viated instructions on the inside ofthe door. Look at the shelves. Takea practice run at removing and re-placing them. And, while you’re atit, locate the broil unit at the top ofthe oven and bake unit just off theoven floor.

Oven LightThe light comes on automaticallywhen the door is opened.

To turn the light on when the dooris closed, use the switch on thedoor near the handle.

Oven ShelvesThe shelves are designed with stop-Iocks. When you place them cor-rectly on the supports, they’ll stopbefore coming completely out ofthe oven. What’s more, they will nottilt when you’re removing food orwhen you are placing food on them.

To remove shelvesfrom the oven,make sure they’re cool. Then lift upthe rear of the shelf and pull it for-ward with the stop-locks along thetop of the shelf support.

To replace shelves in the oven,insert the shelf with stop-locksresting on the shelf supports. Pushshelf toward rear of oven until itfalls into place. When shelf is inproper position, stop-locks on shelfwill run under the shelf supportwhen the shelf is pulled forward.

1. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most conventional oven heat 25° if lighter crusts are desired. Preheat cast iron forbaking, light shiny finishes generally give best resultsbecause they baking some foo~s for rapid browning when food is added.help prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center -areas. Dull (satin-finish) bottom surfaces of pans are recomm-ended for cake pans and pie plates to help ensure those areasbrown completely.2. Dark or non-shiny finishes, also glass and pyroceram, generallyabsorb heat which may result in dry, crisp crusts. Reduce

3. Preheating the oven is not always necessary, especially forfoods which cook longer than 30 or 40 minutes. For food withshort rooking times, preheating gives best appearance andcrispness.4. Open the oven door to check food as little ss possible to pmvent uneven heating and to save energy.

When and close the door.roasting, it’s not necessa w to sear, -baste, cover or add water to yourmeat Tender meat or poultry canbe roasted uncovered. “

Check the weight of the meat and . Iplace it, fat side up, on the rack inthe broiler pan that came with yourrange. This helps the meat to basteitself.

Always use a roasting pan that fitsthe size of your meat. A roast placedin a pan too small for its size willdrip over the edge.

Most meats continue to cook slightlywhile standing in the oven or afterbeing removed from it. Take this intoconsideration when determiningyour cooking time.

To cook frozen meat roasts withoutthawing, allow more cooking time.For large roasts, add 10 to 25 min-utes per pound. For roasts under 5pounds, add 10 minutes per pound.

To slow down surface browning onturkeys, you can use a foil “tent”.The tent-shaped foil should be laidloosely over the poultry so the heatcan circulate under the foil.

Most frozen poultry should bethawed before cooking to makesure it’sdone evenly. Some, how-ever, can be cooked successfullywithout thawing. Check the packer’slabel for specific directions.

Step 4: Touch number pads 3,2and 5 to enter 325° oven tempera-ture. (The exception is small poultrywhich is roasted at 3.75° ).

How to Set Oven WhenUsing Temperature ProbeFor many foods, especially roastsand poultry, internal food tempera-ture is the best test for doneness.The temperature probe takes theguesswork out of roasting by cook-ing foods to the exact donenessyou want. When the internal tem-perature of the food reaches thetemperature you set, the OVENAUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF andsignals until the CLEAR/OFF pad istouched.

Correct Placement of theTemperature Probe forConventional RoastingThe temperature probe serves boththe Conventional and Microwaveoven. It has a skewer-like probe atone end and a plug at the other endthat goes into a receptacle on theoven wall. Use handles of the probeand plug when inserting and remov-ing these parts from meat and wallreceptacle. .Do not use tongs to pullon cable when removing probe atend of cooking—they mightdamage it.

After preparing meat and placing iton the roasting pan rack, followthese Steps for proper probeplacement.

Step 1: Lay the probe on the out-side of the meat along the top orside and mark with your fingerwhere the edge of the meat comesto on the probe. Point should rest inthe center of the thickest meaty partof the roast.

Step 2: Insert the probe into themeat up to the point marked offwith your finger. It should not touchbone, fat or gristle. Afo more thantwo inches of the probe, notcounting the handle, should be leftexposed outside the meat.

Step 3: Plug the other end of thecable into the receptacle, makingsure that it is securely seated, allthe way in. Close the oven door.

Poultry ●

Insert probe into meatiest part ofinner thigh from below and parallelto the leg of a whole turkey.

Casseroles or FishInsert probe into center of dishessuch as meatloaf or casseroles.When cooking fish, insert probefrom just above gill into meatiestarea, parallel to backbone.

Ham or LambInsert probe into cut end, meatiestpart of ham or lamb without a bone.For bone-in ham or lamb, insertprobe into center of lowest largemuscle or joint.

Questions and AnswersQ. When buying a roast, are thereany special tips that would help mecook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even inthickness as possible. Or buya rolled roast.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil“tent” when roasting a turkey?

A. You shouldn’t. Sealing it willsteam the meat. Leaving the “tent”unsealed lets air circulate andbrown the meat.

Q. Why does my roast crumblewhen I try to carve it?

A. It’s probably too warm. Roastsare easier to slice if you let themcool for 10 to 20 minutes after youtake them out of the oven. Be sureto cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Can the temperature probe stayin the oven when it’s not insertedin food?,

A. It shouldn’t. Remove it from thereceptacle when it’s not in use. Youcould damage the probe by leavingit in the oven during cooking opera-tions that do not require its use.

Q. May I insert the probe intofrozen foods?

A. No. It could break, Foods mustbe completely defrosted first.

How to Broil in Your Conventional Oven

,See Broiiing Chart on page 43.

Broiling is cooking foods by intenseradiant heat from the upper heatingunit in the oven. When food isbroiled, only one side at a time isexposed to the heating source.Most fish steaks or filiets and tendercuts of meat such as steaks orchops are best when broiied.

Your oven iets you choose betweentwo convenient broiiing methock

With the first method, you touch theBROIL fM@ then the START padand the oven broiis on the fastestMe (5) automatically.

The second method, or VariableBroil, gives you the option ofchoosing a lower broil rate (lessheat) from 1 to 4.

No matter which method you use,the following suggestions apply:

. Place meat on the broiler rack onthe broiler pan. Always use the rackso fat drips into the pan.

. Place pan in oven on shelf ini position C. If your oven is con-

nected to 208 volts, rare steaks maybe broiled by preheating the broilheater and placing the oven shelfone position higher.

● Leave the door ajar a few inches.It stays open by itself. Proper tem-perature is maintained in the ovenwith the door partially open.

. Turn food only once duringcooking.

Questions and Answers

(cent)

Q. Is it OK to line the broiler panand rack with aluminum foil?

A. Yes, if you mold the foil tho-roughly to the rack and slit it toconform to the slits in the rack.These slits let meat juicds drain intothe broiler pan. This minimizessmoking and spattering and helpsprevent the possibility of fire fromoverheated drippings.

Q. Should I salt the meat beforebroiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and. allows them to evaporate. Alwayssalt after cooking. Piercing meatwith a fork also lets juices escape.That’s why you should use tongs toturn meat. When broiling poultry orfish, brush each side often withbutter.

Q. When broiling, is it always “necessary to use a rack in the pan?

A Yes. The rack suspends the meatover the pan. As the meat cooks,ttie juices drop into the pan andkeep the meat drier. Juices are pro-tected by the rack and stay moler.This prevents excessive smoking‘and spatter.

Q. Do I need to grease my broilerrack to keep meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designedto reflect broiler heat. This keepsthe surface cool enough to preventmeat from sticking to the surface.

Q. Why are my meats not turningout as brown as they should?

A In some areas, the power (volt-age) to the oven may be low. If soin your area. preheat the oven withthe broil unit for 10. minutes beforeplacing food in the oven.

Another possible reason-you mightnot be using the recommended shelfposition.

Also see if this works. Broil for thelongest period of time indicated inthe Broiling Chart on page 43, andturn food only once.

Q. Should I leave the door ajarwhen broiling chicken?

L No. The oven door should beclosed, and shelf position A isrecommended.

; 1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with your oven.It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trappingjuices in the shielded Iower.part of the pan.2. Oven door should be ajar for most foods; there is a specialposition on door which holds door open correctly.3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edgesof meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface justto the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to preventpiercing meat and loosing juices.4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling. Or,

It takes only a few minutes to startthe self-cleaning cycle for yourConventional Oven. After you set itto clean itself, high heat causes thesoil inside the oven to disappear. Iteither turns into a small amount ofash or it evaporates into an odorlessand colorless vapor. After a coolingoff period, your oven is ready foruse again.

The automatic cleaning cycle takes3 hours.

No other function of the Conven-tional Oven except Minute/Secondtiming can be used until the self-cleaning cycle is over and the ovendoor is unlatched. However, thatwon’t stop you from using yourMicrowave Oven as much as youwant while the lower oven iscleaning itself.

Caution: One thing you must becareful of is your Cooking Center’scontrol panel. Don’t clean it whilethe Conventional Oven is in a self-cleaning cycle. If you accidentallytouch its CLEAFVOFF pad, you’llstop the self-cleaning cycle beforethe cleaning’s done.

Care and Cleaning of Your Cooking Center

Proper care and cleaning are impor-tant so your cooking Center wIIIgive you efficient and satisfactoryservice. Follow these directionscarefully in caring for it to helpassure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER ISOFF BEFORE CLEANING ANYRART OF YOUR COOKINGCENTER.

Control PanelsDon’t use sharp-edged utensilsaround the control panels. Theymight damage it.

Clean the panels with a lightlydampened cloth. DO NOT USEcleaning sprays or large amounts ofsoap and water. These can causeproblems with the controlmechanisms.

Temperature Probe

The probe is sturdy, but careshould be taken in handling it. Donot twist it. Avoid dropping it. Cleanas soon as possible after use. Wipeit with a sudsy cloth, then rub metalparts with a plastic scouring pad ifnecessary. Rinse and dry. (Or, washthe probe in an automaticdishwasher.)

Aluminum Foil on Shelves—why you shouldn’t use it

DO NOT place a sheet of aluminumfoil on any shelf in either your micro-wave or conventional oven. If youdo, your foods may not cook prop-erly. The oven finish may be dam-aged. And there may be an increasein heat on the outside surfaces ofthe oven.

Oven LampThe oven lamp bulb is long-lasting.Only a qualified service t~hnicianshould replace it.

DOUBLE DUTYTMShelf AccessoryYour shelf accessory is designedfor use in a microwave oven only;do not use in a conventional oven.Do not use a browning dish withthe shelf. Arcing could occur.

Clean shelf with mild soap andwater or in the dishwasher. Do notremove plastic spacers from theshelf when cleaning. Do not cleanin self-cleaning oven.

Precautions for Use of Metal

Use metal only as directed in theCookbook. Metal trays no morethan 3/4” deep may be used for TVdinners, and the metal temperatureprobe is designed for microwaveoven use. Always keep metal atleast one inch away from sidesof oven.

Cleaning—Outside

Clean the outside of your microwaveoven with soap and water, thenrinse and dry. The outer pane of thewindow is glass. Wipe it clean witha damp towel. Chrome is bestwiped with a damp cloth and thenwith a dry towel.

Cleaning—insideKeep it clean and sweet-smelling.Opening the oven door a few min-utes after cooking helps air out theinside. An occasional thorough wip-ing with a solution of baking sodaand water keeps the interior fresh.

Spillsand spatters are easy tore-

NEVER USE A COMMERCIALOVEN CLEANER ON ANY PARTOF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Wipe up spatters on the glass onthe inside of the door daily. Washglass, when it’s soiled, with a min-imum of sudsy, warm water. Rinsethoroughly and dry.”

Wipe metal and plastic parts on theinside of the door frequently. Use adamp cloth to remove all soil. DONOT USE ABRASIVES, such ascleaning powders or steel and plas-tic pads. They may mar the surface.

Door Surface. When cleaning sur-faces of door and oven that cometogether on closing the door, useonly mild, non-abrasive soaps ordetergents applied with a spongeor soft cloth.

Do not remove the plastic antennacover at the top of the oven (seepage 7.) You will damage the ovenif you do.

Using a Brown ‘N Sear Dish? UseBar Keepers Friend@ Cleanser.High heat generated on the bottomof the Brown ‘N Sear Dish can causescorched appearing stains to bakeonto the floor if grease is present.These may be removed with BarKeepers Friend@ Cleanser bySerVass Laboratories, Inc.

After using this cleaner, rinse anddry thoroughly, following instruc-tions on can. Do not use it on thepainted surfaces such as the walls—it ‘may scratch the paint.

Bar Keepers Friend@ Cleanser issold in many grocery, hardware anddepartment stores.

c

move from walls, floor and-antennacover. That’s because there’s littleheat except in the food, or some-times in the utensil. Some spatterswipe up with a paper towel, somemay require a damp cloth. Removegreasy spatters with a sudsy cloth,then rinse and dry.

Oven Vent DuctThe oven is vented through a ductthat’s located on the right side ofthe oven just above the door handle(see page 7). Moisture and vaporsfrom the oven are vented through itwhen oven is in use. Never coverthe hole in the duct. To do so pr~vents it from functioning properlyduring cooking and cleaning.
