Microwaving Tips

# Make sure a!! utensils used in your microwave oven are labeled "suitable for microwaving”. Check your Cookbook for specific test to determine "microwave-safe”

utensils,

9 Paper towels, wax paper, and

plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

9 Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotating, or rearranging.

Check your Cookbook for specific

instructions.

9 Some foods such as unshelled eggs and hot dogs must be piercet to allow steam to escape during cooking.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electricai appiianees basic safety precautions should bs foHowed, including the following:

WARNING—To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire,

injury to persons or exposure to

9 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if It is not working properly, Or If it has been damaged or dropped.

9 This apprianoa should be ser viced only by qualified service personnel. Contaot nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when

used by children.

® See door cleaning instruc

tions on page 17.

# To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: =Do not overcook food. Care

fully attend appliance if paper,

plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

—Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before

piacing bag in oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—Do not pop popcorn In your microwave oven unless In a spe

cial microwave popcorn accèssory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microvvave ovens.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fire, if by

accident the^oyen should run

smpTy a minlîa pr two, no harm is done. Howèyer, tfÿ % avoid

operating the öven empty at all times—if saves ènéigy and pro longs life of the oven,

—If materials Inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and dis connect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit

breaker panel.

9 Some products such as whole eggs and sealed con tainers—for example, cldsed

glass jars—may explode and

should not be heated in this

oven.

• Avoid heatlntbabyfo^ in

glass jars, even without their

lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

9 DoRl defrost froze« bever ages In narrow necked bottles; especially carbonated ones.

Even If the container is opened, pressure can build up..THis can

cause the container to burst,

resulting in

(continued)

» Use metal only as directed in

Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat, roasts are helpful when used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in metal trays but when using shelf they must be replaced In their box. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keep metal

(other than metal shelf) at least 1-inch away from sides of oven,

® Cocking utensils may become hot because of heat

transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

« Sometimes, the oven floor can become too hot to touch.

Be careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

« Do net use any thermometer

in food you are microwaving unless that thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

• Remove the temperature

probe from the oven wnen not using It to cook with. !f you leave

the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create eleeincal arcing In the oven, and damage oven walls.

# Plastic Utensils—'Plastic utensils designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking condi tions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking, in longer expo

sures to overcooking, the food and utensils could ignjte= For these reasons: 1) Use micro wave plastics only “and use them" in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations, 2) Do not subject empty utensils to micro waving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

• When cooking pork follow our directions exactly and always cook the meat to at least

170®. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

• Boiling eggs (in and out of

she!!) is not recommended for

microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and

may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

• Foods with unbroken outer

“skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see above) should be pierced to aliow steam to escape during cooking.

• “Boliable” cocking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they

are not, plastic could burst dur

ing or immediately after cooking,

possibly resulting in injury. Also,

plastic storage containers should

be at least partially uncovered

because they form a tight seal. Whan cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,

remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

9 Use of the shelf accessory.

(See your Cookbook for proper

use.)

—Remove the shelf from oven when not In use,

—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use potholders when handling the shelf and utensils. They may

be hot.

—Do not use microwave

browning dish On Shelf. The shelf could overheat.

THE HOOD:

• Have it installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer.

See the special installation book let packed with the microwave oven.

e The vent fan In your Space maker® oven wiil operate automatically under certain_ conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature, page 7). While the fan is operating caution is required to prevent the starting and spread ing of accidental cooking fires while the vent fan is in use. For this reason:

—Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings.

Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite

and spread if vent fan Is oper

ating. To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized utensils and use high heat set

tings only when necessary.

—In the event of a grease fire,

smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Never flame foods under the oven with the vent fan operating

because it may spread the

flames.

—Keep hood and grease filters clean, according to instructions

on pages 18 and 19, to maintain good venting and avoid grease

fires.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

Cooking appliances installed under the oven might, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temp eratures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the vent fan is designed to automatically turn on at low

speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan cannot b© manually turned off, but it wiTl automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approxi mately 30 minutes after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.

Cooking by Temperature

For many foods, Internal temperature is the best

test of doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to your preference when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods accurately to a serving temperature you desire is simple and easy.

TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO

ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion

How to Use Cook Code" Control

Gook Gode'^“ Control is a short-cut method for en tering time and the Power Level on your microwave oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes which need little or no attention, and which require no change of power level during cooking. Recipes

To understand the Cook Code control, it is Impor tant tn knnyy what the numbers mean and what the sequence is. The first and second numbers, if set ting a 3 digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of time you desire: the last control entry number is always the Power Level. For example, 125 means

Guide to Use of the Spacemaker Shelf

The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity

heating and reheating in your Spacemaker^“ microwave oven. Now heat ing and reheating, which are the most popular uses of microwave ovens,

may now be done in multiple quantities, so several foods are ready to serve at the same iinrie. When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from

the cookbook which came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods

properly, and this is shown on the next page. Utensil size is important: select from among the suggestions below. Also, food size should be con sidered; foods over 3y2 inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Rottore anH HQijgh foods shd also foods for oven meals using scratch

recipes should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Use potholders when handling

foods heated together with your

oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8 inch

square or other 2 quart size casse

roles. Extra steam generated from multiple food cooking may make utensils hotter than with regular microwaving.

utensils for Shelf Heating and Reheating

Before placing food in the dishes you plan to use for shelf microwaving, check to see that they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be sure utensils are microwave safe.

Casseroles for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup,

8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch

loaf dishes or 9-in. pie plates.

Leftovers may be placed in smal individual ceramic or plastic bowls

or divided plates.

instead of lids on casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.

How To Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven shelf, while

will/ vvaifiiww

should be placed on the floor. This

is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top 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.

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 several foods you are heating seems under cooked but the others are heated satisfac torily, let the underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of

food at HIGH (10). To determine

heating times, add together times
