UTENSIL SAFETY
FOOD SAFETY
Remember: For best results and more
enjoyable cooking, follow the instruc-
tions and special techniques found in the
microwave cookbook.
Fao 16
Most glass, glass ceramic and heat-resistant glassware utensils
are excellent for use in the microwave oven, Although
microwave energy will not heat most glass and ceramic items,
these utensils can become hot as heat transfers from the food
to the container. The use of potholders to remove dishes. is
recommended,
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER A UTENSIL IS
SAFE TO USE IN THE OVEN, refer to the “Microwave
Utensils” section in the microwave cookbook.
Use caution when removing a lid or cover from a dish. Tilt
the cover so hot steam is directed away from you and steam
burns are avoided.
Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons, freezer wrap and
cardboard are great convenience utensils. Always be sure con-
tainers are filled with food to absorb energy and thus avoid
the possibility of fire.
Many plastic dishes, cups, freezer containers and plastic
wraps may be used in the microwave oven, Follow manufac-
turer's instructions when using plastics in the oven. Avoid
using foods with high fat or sugar content since these foods
reach high temperatures and could melt some plastics.
Metal utensils and utensils with metallic trim should not be
used in the microwave oven, unless specifically recommended
for microwave use,
Containers with restricted openings, such as soda pop bottles
or syrup bottles, should not be used for microwave cooking.
FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE
PROPER USE OF UTENSILS in the microwave oven, please
read the “Microwave Utensils”” section in the cookbook.
Canning should not be done in the microwave oven. Because
metal hids interfere with uniform heating of the food item,
controlled temperature conditions are not possible.
Deep fat frying should not be done in the microwave oven,
Because the fat temperature cannot be controlled, hazardous
situations can result.
Popcorn may be prepared in the microwave oven, but only in
special packages or utensils designed specifically for this purpose.
This cooking operation should never be unattended. The
directions supplied by the food or utensil company must be
carefully followed to avoid personal injury or a possible fire, $

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Do not attempt to pop popcorn in a glass dish, as the corn
becomes very hot and may cause the dish to break.
Pierce foods with nonporous skins or membranes to prevent
steam build-up and bursting. Apples, potatoes, chicken livers,
and egg yolks are examples of items that should be pierced.
Stir all liquids before heating. If air is not mixed into the liquid,
the item can erupt during cooking or upon its removal.
Do not cook eggs in the shell as they will explode, Occasionally,
poached eggs may explode during cooking. Please cover
poached eggs and allow the standing time of one minute be-
fore removing cover.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven ca vity:
1. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

HELPFUL HINTS
Quantity: The larger the food portion, the longer the cooking
time,
Arrangement: Whenever possible, arrange foods in a circular
pattern. When cooking items of varying shape and size, place
the small, thin picces toward the center of the dish and the
larger thick picces along the outer edges. Example; Arrange
chicken pieces with wings and legs in the center arca sur-
rounded by thighs and breasts.
Starting Temperature; The colder the food, the longer the
cooking time. Foods that have just been removed from the
refrigerator will take longer to cook than ones at room tem-
perature,
Density: Porous foods, such as bread and rolls, take less time
to heat than a more compact item such as meatloaf.

Moisture Content: Foods high in moisture content cook faster
than those low in moisture content. Adding sauces or liquids
and covering food items can speed cooking and will aid in
moisture retention. Follow individual recipe Suggestions
found in the cookbook.
Most foods cooked in a microwave oven require standing
time before serving, During this time, the food item finishes
cooking by conduction and temperatures within the food
equalize. Standing time increases according to the size and
density of the food and can range from I to 20 minutes.
Recommended standing times are provided in the cookbook
recipes and instructions.
Salting of meats or poultry before cooking is not recommended.
Salt tends to toughen and dry out meats, and should be used
only after cooking, However, other seasonings can be used
before, during and after cooking, according to personal
preference.
Select 2 microwave recipe most similar to the conventional
one. Usc the suegested techniques, including the power set-
ting, microwave timing and ingredient proportions as a guide,
If a similar recipe cannot be found, follow the con version
steps in the cookbook,

COOKING BY
TEMPERATURE (some models)
The temperature probe is used 10 cook foods to a desired
temperature. The probe senses the internal temperature of the
food and turns off the microwave energy when the preset
temperature has been rcached.
Using the probe can eliminate guesswork when microwaving
certain food items.
* The probe should be fully inserted toward the center of the
food item, not touching fat, bone or an air pocket, It
should not touch plastic or paper or any part of the interior
of the oven.
* Never operate the oven empty with the probe plugged in.
* The probe can become hot during cooking. Use a potholder
to remove the probe from the food or from its receptacle.
* The probe cannot be used in a conventional oven.
* Do not use the probe with a browning dish.
e Insert the probe near the center of the food so the cable and
jack easily reach the receptacle.
* When cooking small roasts (under 1 kg), insert the probe
JUL — 135 —3= = Li E TD 11:85 Mars kET IMG DAL TOK Pa im
at least half-way into the meat. If the oven shuts off soon
after the cooking process has started, reposition the probe.
If it stops again, set the temperature control 2-4 °С higher.
* If the probe is not inserted properly to sense temperature,
heating will continue indefinitely and may overcook or burn
foods.
To set the oven temperature for cooking:
1. Insert the probe into the center of the food, place the food in
the oven and plug the probe into its receptacle, The
Probe-in-use indicator light will flash in the display window
and the oven will BEEP.
2. Touch PROBE. The display window will show 34.
3. Touch the appropriate number pads.

If a lower setting is required, touch POWER, then the
appropriate number pad. Touch START to begin the
program.
5. The display window will show the word “-34* until the
food reaches approximately 34°C. The display will then
count up in 2° increments until the preset temperature
iS reached.
With the pre-set temperature below 60°C, when the desired
temperature is reached the oven will BEEP, “00:00” will
appear in the display window and the oven will shut off
automatically. If the pre-set temperature is 60°C or above,
when the temperature is reached the oven will BEEP, “HOLD”
will appear in the display window and the probe will hold the

boil a solution of 1 cup of water plus 2
tablespoons of lemon juice for 5
minutes. To keep the inside of the oven
fresh-smelling, occasionally wipe with a
solution of baking soda and warm
water.

CARE AND CLEANING
Do not attempt to tamper with or make any adjustments or
repairs to the door, control panel, safety interlock switches or
any other part of the oven. Repairs should only be done by a
qualified service technician.
Be sure the oven is off or the unit is unplugged before
cleaning.
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe up spillovers
and food spatters as soon as they occur. Soil that is allowed
to remain on the oven walls, door seal and door surface will
absorb microwave encrgy, reduce the efficiency of the oven,
and possibly damage the oven interior.
Use mild detergent, warm water and a soft, clean cloth to re-
move soil. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, COM-
MERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL PADS
ON ANY PART OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To loosen difficult soil, boil a cup of water in the microwave
oven for 2 to 3 minutes, NEVER USE A KNIFE OR ANY
UTENSIL TO REMOVE SOIL FROM OVEN SURFACES.
The rectangular tray (or turntable) can be removed for
cleaning. Use caution when handling them. They are hcavy and
can be broken if dropped. Wash them in warm, sudsy water of
in the dishwasher.
Outside surfaces of the oven should be cleaned with soap and
water, rinsed, and dried with a soft cloth. To prevent damage
to the working parts, do not allow water to seep into ventila-
tion openings.
To clean the chrome trim, door window and control panel,
wipe with a damp cloth. Then polish immediately with a soft,
dry cloth. Open the oven door when cleaning the contro!
panel. This will prevent the oven from being turned on
accidentally.
Keep the temperature probe clean. If grease and dirt are al-
lowed to accumulate, inaccurate temperature readings will
occur,
The part of the probe that is inserted into the food can be
washed in warm, sudsy water. For stubborn spots, a mild
abrasive cleaner can be used. Rinse in clear, warm water and
dry with a soft cloth.
