@ Use residual heat with surface

e Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods wiil cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator
iight, and put food in the oven
promptly after the iight goes out.
@ Always turn oven OFF before
removing food.
@ During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open
as short a time as possible when
it is opened.
e For seif-cieaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
seif-cleaning operation.
@ Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casseroie, meat

foods that cook at the same tem-

@ Use residual heat in oven when-

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

@ U&X?.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 meia!

e Caoking 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 not ‘useany thermometer
in food you are microwaving
unless that thermometer is
designed or recommended for
use in the microwave oven.
~ Remcwethe ‘temperature
probe from the oven when not
using it to cook with. If you leave
the probe inside the oven without
inserting it in food or liquid, and
turn on microwave energy, it can
create electrical arcing in the
oven, and damage oven walls.

g~plastic Utensik5—P!astic
utensils designed for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) DOnot
subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
e
“Boi!abh3’9cocking ptxdws
and tightly dosed 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
becausethey form a tight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.

Q Use il%cqxwPan Size—-This
appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size.Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils
will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
@ Never !leavesurface units
unattended at high heat settings.
Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spiliovers that may catch
on fire.
@
Be sure reflector pans and
vent ducts are not covered and
are in place. Their absence
during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
@ Don’t use aluminum foil to
line reflector pans or anywhere
in the oven except as described
in this book. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire hazard,
or damage to the range.
Q Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed containers
are suitable for range-top service; others may break because
of the sudden change in tem-
perature (See Section on “Surface Cooking” for suggestions.)
@ To minimize !burrnsJignition of
