Cooking in Your Microwave Oven
Although a new rating method* rates this oven at 800 waits, you may use a reliable cookbook with recipes developed for 650-700 wait microwave ovens.
It contains information about: l l l l l l
What microwave energy is.
How food is cooked by microwave energy.
What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness.
Safely tips.
Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven.
Cooking times for different foods. l l fmpottant things to remember to get the best cooking results:
ALWAYS cook food for the MINIMUM recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes. l
If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.
‘IEC-705 Test Procedure.
The IEC-705 Test Procedure is an internationally-recognized method of rating microwave wattage output and does not represent an actual change to output power or cooking performance.

Caring for your microwave oven
Cleaning the Microwave Oven
Wipe often with warm, sudsy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil.
Be sure to keep ihe areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Use only mild, non- abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth when cleanlng surfaces.
Rinse well.
Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, etc., can damage the control panel, and the lnterlor and exterior oven surfaces. Use a soft cloth or a sponge with a mlld detergent or spray glass cleaner. Apply spray glass cleaner to cloth or sponge; do not spray directly on oven.
Caring for the Filters
The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month. NOTE: If your mlcrowave hood comblnalton Is Installed to recirculate air, the charcoal filter (Part No.
4358003) should be replaced every 612 months. The charcoal filter can not be cleaned.
1.
For your personal safety, turn off the electric power at the main power supply
2. To remove grease filters, slide each filter to the front.
Pull filters downward and push to the rear. The filter will drop out.
3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a mild detergent.
Scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rlnse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonla or place In a dlshwasher. The aluml- num will darken. continued on next page

For best results stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating.

,

DO NOT do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode resulting in damage to the oven or possi- ble personal injury
DO NOT use the oven to ster- ilize objects (baby bottles, etc.)..
It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization.
DO NOT deep fry in the oven.
Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

DO NOT use the oven for stor- age. Do not leave paper prod- ucts, books or cooking utensils in the oven when not in use. Fire may result if someone acclden- tally starts the oven.
DO NOT let food or container touch the top or sides of the oven.

It is normal for the inside of the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been runnlng for a while.
