AUIUWATXCFM FEATURE
Cooking appliances installed under the oven might,
under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures
high enough to overheat some internal parts of the
microwave oven.
To prevent overheating fim taking place, the exhaust
fkn is designed to automatically turn on at low speed if
excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen,
the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will
automatically turn off when the internal parts have
cooled. The fm may stay on up to approximately 30
minutes after the range and microwave oven controls
have been turned off.

end of that time, reset your oven
and adjust the time accordingly.

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

CASLE
The temperature probe is a fti
thermometer that gauges the

it must be used when using Temp
Cook/Hold or Auto Roast. To
utilize your probe properly, follow
directions for use and insertion in
this book in the Automatic
Roasting section.

heat more evenly even though
requiring more time.
QBesure frozen ibodhasbeen

Questions
and Answers
QAfter If~thesteps
and touched the ST~
pad,
“ERROR” flashed in the display
andasignal sounded. W@’s
Wrculg?
A. “ERROR” flashes if you set
the temperature either below 90”F.
or above 199”F.The uven tells you,
between the flashing of “ERROR;’
what incorrect entry was made. To
re-enter, touch CLEAR/OFF pad
and begin again.
Q Are there any f~
I can’t
‘IkmpCook?
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.
Q Why did “PRC)BE” flash on
the display after I touched the
SIART pad?
A. “PROBE” will flash if you
don’t seat the cable end of the probe
securely into the receptacle in the
oven wall or if you touch the TEMP
COOWHOLD pad and forget to
use the probe.
QCan Ileavemyprobeinthe
oven if it’s not inserted in fd?
A. No, if it touches the oven wall,
you may damage the oven.
Q Can I lkmp Cook different
portions offal at different
temperature?
A. Yes. The temperature probe
gives you the f%eedomto cook
different portions of food at
different temperatures to suit
individual eating styles. Simply
place probe in fti and change
temperature setting as needed.

Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearmnge your program. Defrosting
will always come first, then hold,
and then the cooking fbnction.
Q Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it, and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Time Defrost and
amount of time. Then program a
holding time (example in steps 4
and 5 at left). Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
N(YTE:Let fds remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
Q. I programmed my oven for
a specific defrosting time but it
defkmted longer than necessary.
what happened?
A. When instructions conflict,
the oven carries out the last
instruction. You may have set the
oven to Defrost for 4 minutes,
Hold/Time for 2 minutes, and then’
Defrost fbr6minutes. Inthiscase, the
oven would D@ost for 6 minutes

When microwaving with the oven

from the cookbook which came

arrange fds properly, and this is
shown on the next page. Cookware
size is important; select from among
the suggestions at right. Also, fbod
size should be considered; foods
over 3% inches high, or 3 pounds
are not recommended for shelf
cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also
uncooked fti

prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf,
following cookbook directions.
Use pot holders when handling
fbods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amounts of fd in 8-inch
square or other 2-quart size
casseroles. Extra steam generated
from multiple fd cooking may
make cookware hotter than with
regular microwaving.

When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should be served hot must be placed
on the oven shelf, while fbods
which are OIllywarmed should be
placed on the floor. This is because
micruwaveenergy enters the oven
from the top only. Also, it is
important to remember that fbods
absorb microwaveenqy at
diflixent rates. Rates can be aflixtd
bythesizeofthe food, and its
