Microwave Oven
Airstream/Argosy dealers cannot service or
make adjustments to the optional portable
oven. This must be done by an authorized
Litton Industries service agency. If you ever
have problems with the oven check the list of
authorized service agents. This list is packed in
your microwave oven.
To operate your Litton microwave oven:
1 . Open door by pushing down door release.
2. Place food in oven
3. Select cook* or defrost* *
4. Close door
-
cooking or defrosting cycle
begins when oven door is closed.
Microwave oven may be opened at any
point to check food even if time is left on
the dial.
5. Always turn timer back to "OFF" when
food is taken out.
* For fast cooking of food when recipe calls
for "MICROWAVE".
* * Provides convenience for defrosting frozen
foods. When microwaves first contact the
outer section of the food, heat is created
and conducted toward the center. Without
automatic defrosting there is danger of
overheating the outside of the food before
the center is hot. In extreme cases, the
outside of the food could be cooking before
the center is defrosting. Automatic
defrosting alternates "defrost cycles" and
"rest cycles.
"
The rest cycles allow heat to
be conducted toward the center providing
an evenly defrosted food.
NOTE: Never operate the microwave oven
unless the shelf is in place. The steam that is
present during cooking and the moisture on the
inside of your microwave oven are normal and
nothing to worry about. The moisture is caused
by the steam from the cooking food hitting a
cool oven surface.
Never operate your microwave oven unless the
removable shelf is in place. The shelf may be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
Please read your cooking guide carefully. It
will help you learn about your new Litton
Electronic Oven quickly.
Your microwave oven is portable and can be
removed for use in your home when your trailer
is not in use.
