●
Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
●
Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may
occur while operating at power levels other than high.
Light reflection around door or outer case.
●
●
Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.
During cooking you will hear “cracking” and
“popping” noises which are nothing more than
normal expansion of the oven.
Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed
while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to
the interference caused by other small appliances
and does not indicate a problem with your oven.
● At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a
slight thump. This is normal.

Power level 10 (High) is recommended for most
cooking, but you may change this for more flexibility.

How to Use the Temperature Probe
Place the probe so that the point
rests in the center of the thickest

the cut end or meatiest part
of boneless ham or lamb. The
point should not touch bone, fat

Auto Roast uses the temperature probe to cook to
the desired serving temperature. Unlike
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
For dishes such as meatloaf or
casserole, insert the probe into
the center.
Insert the probe into the meatiest
Place the probe so that the point
rests in the center of the thickest
meaty part of the roast, or into the

and Answers
Can I defrost small items in a hurry?
Q. When I press START, I hear a dull thumping
noise. What is it?
A. 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.
A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the
oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

● Do not open oven door during Auto cycle. When
oven signals and countdown time is displayed, door
may be opened for stirring, turning or rotating food.
To resume cooking, close door and touch START.
Be sure outside of container and inside of oven
are dry.
● After completion of Auto Cook cycle, if food
needs additional cooking, return food to oven
and use Time Cook to finish cooking.
● Match the amount of food to the size of container.
Fill containers at least 1/2 full.
To adjust cook times to suit individual tastes, add a
“17’ or “9” to code number when entering Auto Cook
Code. See the Auto Cook section for instructions.
● Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to fresh vegetables.
● Foods should be covered with lid to dish or vented
plastic wrap to prevent spattering to keep oven
clean. Spareribs, pot roasts and meat loaf should
be covered tightly to ensure even cooking.
● Use of Auto Cook feature with metal shelf is
not recommended.

CONTAINERS &
Containers and Covers
● Match the amount of food to the size of the
container. Fill containers at least half full for
best results.
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.
● 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.
● Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
● Stir or rotate some foods after a beeping signal,
if required. See the Automatic Cooking Control
Guide.
For frozen foods in metal trays,

How to Reheat Several Different
of Foods Together
I
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.
Place on the
floor larger
or more dense
foods, which
need the most
heating, such
as leftover
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.
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,

Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop

let the
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.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven:
●
Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
Light reflection around door or outer case.
●
Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may
occur while operating at power levels other than high.

●
Dull, thumping sound while oven is operating.
● During cooking you will hear “cracking” and
“popping” noises which are nothing more than
normal expansion of the oven.
Some TV-Radio interference might be noticed
while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to
the interference caused by other small appliances
and does not indicate a problem with your oven.
● At the end of microwave cycles you will hear a
slight thump. This is normal.
