SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Follow These Safety Precautions When Cooking in Your Oven

Home canning / sterilizing / drying foods / small quantities of foods

Popcorn

Deep fat frying

Eggs

Do not use your combination oven for home canning or the heating of any closed

jar. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode, in addition, the combination oven cannot maintain the food at the proper canning temperature. Improperly canned food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.

Small quantities of food or foods with low moisture content can dry out, burn or catch on fire, if a fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven door closed,

Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

_ Do not dry meats, herbs, fruits or vegetables in your oven.

IMPORTANT Proper cooking depends on time set and weight of food. Ifyou use a smaller

protion than recommended and cook at the time for the recommended portion,

fire can result, Ifa fire occurs, turn oven off and leave oven door closed,

Disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

_ Popcorn must be popped in a microwave oven corn popper, Microwave popcorn

which pops in its own package is also available, Follow popcorn manufacturers' directions and use a brand suitable for the wattage of your combination oven.

Never leave oven unattended when popping popcorn,

CAUTION: When using pre packaged microwave popcorn, follow recommended package instructions. Check package weight before using the popcorn pad. Set the oven for the weight of

the popcorn package.

If these instructions are not followed, the popcorn may not pop adequately or may ignite and cause a fire.

Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave oven. Oil can be heated beyond ideal temperatures very quickly in a microwave oven, Temperatures can climb high enough for the cooking oils to reach their respective flash points and burst into flames, The heated oil may bubble and spatter causing possible damage to

the oven and perhaps resulting in burns, Additionally, microwave safe utensils

may not be able to withstand the temperature of the hot oil, and could result in

the utensil shattering if it contains even a slight impelfection, scratch or chip.

_ Do not cook/reheat whole eggs, with or without the shell,

Steam buildup inwhole eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury, Reheating SLICED hard boilded eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

Foods with nonporous skins

Liquids

_ Potatoes, apples, whole squash and sausages are examples of foods with

nonporous skins, These types of foods must be pierced before microwave

cooking to prevent them from exploding,

CAUTION: Cooking dry or old potatoes can cause fire. _ Heated liquids can erupt if not mixed with air. Do not heat liquids in your

microwave oven without first stirring.

Ceramic Tray / cooking utensils / foil

Paper towels / cloths

_ Cooking utensils get hot during microwaving. Use potholders when removing

utensils and Ceramic Tray from the oven or when removing lids or plastic wrap

covers from cooking utensils to avoid burns.

_ The Ceramic Tray will get hot during cooking. It should be allowed to cool before

handling or before paper products, such as paper plates, napkins or microwave popcorn bags, are placed in the oven for microwave cooking.

_ During cooking, heat is transferred from the hot food to the cooking utensil and

from the utensil to Ceramic Tray. Ceramic Tray can be very hot after removing cooking utensils from oven.

When using foil, warming rack or utensils made of metal in the oven, allow at

least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between foil, metal material and interior oven walls

or door. If arcing occurs (sparking) remove metal material (skewers etc.) and/or transfer to a non-metallic container.

_ Dishes with metallic trim should not be used during Microwave or Combination

cooking, arcing may occur.

_ Do not use paper towels or cloths which contain asynthetic fiber woven into

them. The synthetic fiber may cause the towel to ignite. Use paper toweling

under supervision.

_ Do not use paper bags or recycled paper products in the microwave oven.

Browning dishes / oven cooking bags

Thermometers

Baby formula / Baby food

Reheating pastry products

General oven usage guidelines / Oven door

Preparation of foods

_ Microwave browning dishes or grills are designed for microwave cooking only.

Preheating times vary depending on the size of the browning dish and food being

cooked. Always follow instrutions provided by the browning dish or grill

manufacturer. Do not preheat browning dishes more than 6 minutes.

_ If an oven cooking bag is used for microwave cooking, prepare according to

package directions. Do not use a wire twist tie to close bag, instead use nylon

ties, cotton string or a strip cut from the open end of the bag. Make six 1/2inch slits by closure. Place oven cooking bag in a dish slightly larger than the food

being cooked.

_ Do not use a conventional meat thermometer for Microwave cooking. Arcing may

occur. Do not use a microwave meat thermometer for Bake. It may melt.

_ Do not heat baby formula or food in the microwave oven. The glass jar or surface

of the food may appear warm while the interior can burn the infant's mouth and esophagus.

When reheating pastry products, check temperatures of any fillings before eating. Some foods have fillings which heat faster and can be extremely hot while the surface remains warm to the touch (ex.Jelly Donuts).

Do not use the oven for any reason other than the preparation of food. Do not leave oven unattended while in use.

The oven door and the interior walls will get hot during Bake.

The microwave is intended only for the preparation of foods. Other uses can be dangerous and cause damage. For example, warmed grains and grain kernels can ignite even after hours have passed. Fire danger!

Defrosting Tips &

Techniques

Preparation For Freezing

To Defrost

After Defrosting

_ Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place

wax paper between layers.

Package in heavy duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled "For Freezer"), or freezer paper.

_ Remove as much air as possible. _ Seal securely, date, and label.

_ Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot

and cook the food. _ Set food in microwave safe dish. _ Place roasts fat side down. Place whole poultry breast side down. _ Select power and minimum time so that items will be under defrosted.

_ Drain liquids during defrosting. _ Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.

_ Shield edges and ends if needed. _ Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during standing

time. _ Let stand, covered.

_ Rinse foods indicated in the chart.

_ Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer

stand time.

Food Characteristics

Bone and Fat

Quantity Two potatoes take longer to cook than one potato. As the quantity of the food

Shape Uniform sizes heat more evenly. The thin end of a drumstick will cook more quickly

Both bone and fat affect cooking. Bones may cause irregular cooking. Meat next to

the tips of bones may overcook while meat positioned under a large bone, such as a

ham bone, may be undercooked. Large amounts of fat absorb microwave energy and the meat next to these areas may overcook.

dense foods such as potatoes and roasts. When reheating donuts or other foods with different centers be very careful. Certain foods have centers made with sugar,

water, or fat and these centers attract microwaves (For example, jelly donuts). When a jelly donut is heated, the jelly can become extremely hot while the exterior remains

warm to the touch. This could result in a burn if the food is not allowed to cool properly in the center.

than the meaty end. To compensate for irregular shapes, place thin parts toward the center of the dish and thick pieces towerd the edge.

Starting Temperature Foods that are at room temperature take less time to cook than if they are chilled,

refrigerated, or frozen.

Cooking Techniques

Piercing Foods with skins or membranes must be pierced scored or have a strip of skin

peeled before cooking to allow steam to escape. Pierce clams, oyster, chicken livers, whole potatoes and whole vegetables. Whole apples or new potatoes should

have a 1-inch strip of skin peeled before cooking. Score sausages and frankfurters. Do not CooWReheat whloe eggs with or without the shell. Steam build up in whole

eggs may cause them to explode, and possibly damage the oven or cause injury. Reheating SLICED hard boiled eggs and cooking SCRAMBLED eggs is safe.

Spacing Individual foods, such as baked potatoes, cupcakes and appetizers, will cook more

evenly if placed in the oven equal distances apart. When possible, arrange foods in a circular pattern.

Covering As with conventional cooking, moisture evaporates during microwave cooking.

Casserole lids or plastic wrap are used for a tighter seal. When using plastic wrap,

vent the plastic wrap by folding back part of the plastic wrap from the edge of the

dish to allow steam to escape. Loosen or remove plastic wrap as recipe directs for stand time. When removing plastic wrap covers, as well as any glas lids, be careful

to remove them away from you to avoid steam burns. Various degrees of moisture

retention are also obtained by using wax paper or paper towels.

Shielding Thin areas of meat and poultry cook more quickly than meaty portions. To prevent

overcooking, these thin areas can be shielded with strips of aluminium foil. Wooden

toothpicks may be used to hold the foil in place.

CAUTION: isto be exercised when using foil. Arcing can occur if foil istoo close to oven wall or door and damage to our oven will result.

Stand Time

A range of cooking time is given m each recipe. The time range compensates for the

uncontrollable differences in food shapes, starting temperature, and regional preferences. Always cook food for the minimum cooking time given in a recipe and

time to an undercooked product. Once the food is overcooked, nothing can be

done.

the edge of the dish.

microwave energy will concentrate in one area of the food, To help insure even cooking, these food need to be turned. Turn over large foods, such as roasts or

turkeys, halfway through cooking.

Most foods will continue to cook by conduction after the microwave oven is turned off. In meat cookery, the internal temperature will rise 5 °F to 15 °F (3 °C to 8 °C), if

allowed to stand, tented with foil, for 10 to 15 minutes. Casseroles and vegetables need a shorter amount of standing time, but this standing time is necessary to allow

fooods to complete cooking to teh center without overcooking on the edges.

Test for Doneness

The same tests for doneness used in conventional cooking may be used for

microwave cooking. Meat is done when fork-tender or splits at fibers. Chicken is done when juices are clear yellow and drumstick moves freely. Fish isdone when it

flakes and is opaque. Cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester is inserted and

comes out clean,

Tables and tips

This table contains a selection of dishes and the optimum settings at which to cook them. You can use the table to look up which microwave setting, type of heating,

and temperature are most suitable for your dish, and which accessories to use.

Defrosting, heating up and cooking with the microwave

Defrosting

The following tables provide you with numerous options and adjustment values for the microwave.

The times specified in the tables are only guidelines. They may vary according to the

ovenware used, the quality, temperature, and consistency of the food.

Time ranges are often specified inthe tables. Set the shortest time first and then

extend the time if necessary. It may be that you have different quantities from those specified in the tables.

A rule of thumb can be applied:

double the amount - double the cooking time, half the amount - half the cooking time.

Place the ovenware inthe center of the ceramic tray. The food will absorb the microwaves from all sides.

,_ Place the frozen food in an open container on the ceramic tray. _ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of

roasts can be covered with small pieces of aluminum foil. The foil must not touch

the oven walls. You can remove the foil halfway through the defrosting time.

,_ Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time. Large pieces of

food should be turned several times. Turn to remove any liquid that results from defrosting.

Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a further 10 minutes to 1 hour so that the temperature can even out. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
