●

Plastic Cookware—Plastic cookware designed

for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe 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 cookware could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and

use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not

subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware

without complete supervision.

or the outer case.

Dimming of the oven light and

change in the blower sound may occur while operation at power levels other than high.

●

A dull thumping sound while the

● Paper towels, wax paper and plastic wrap

can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

● Some microwaved foods require stirring,

rotating or rearranging.

● Steam builds up pressure in foods which

are tightly covered by a skin or membrane.

Pierce potatoes, egg yolks and chicken livers to prevent bursting.

●

Some TV-Radio interference

might be noticed while using your microwave oven. It’s similar to the interference caused by other small appliances and does not indicate a problem with your oven.

HOW TO USE THE

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press the START pad, I hear a dull,

thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the

oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High)

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry? A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention

than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by pressing the desired power level pad.

Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in half; power level 10 cuts the total defrosting time to

approximately one third. During either, rotate or

stir food frequently.

How to Adjust the Auto Cook Codes to Suit Your Taste

By simply adding a 1 after any Auto Cook code number from 2 through 9, you can set the oven to cook for 20% less time that the code would regularly provide.

For example, if code 4 cooks your seafood more done than you like it, set code 41 next time and you’ll

get a 20% shorter cooking time.

If you want a longer cooking time than a code provides, add a 9 after the code.

For the seafood in the example above, code 49 would provide a 2070 longer cooking time than the regular code 4 would provide.

How to Heat or Reheat Several Different

When heating several different types of food together,

be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are only warmed 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 larger or more dense foods a few minutes ahead of time, then add smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at 10 (High).

To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. After half of the time, stir or rearrange foods

(do not reverse positions). Check foods especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.

Canning should be done on surface units only.

Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit’s trim ring are not recommended for most surface cooking. However, when canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-diameter pots may be used. This is because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding the surface unit.

Observe Following Points in Canning

1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface unit. If your range or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on the cooking unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often found in enamelware) because they don’t make enough contact with the surface unit and take too long to boil water.

HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER COOKWARE FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS – OTHER THAN WATER.

Most syrup or sauce mixtures—and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop surfaces surrounding surface units.

3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

4. Remember that canning is a process that generates large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam or heat, be careful when canning.

NOTE: If

As a general rule, place-most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, set the oven at the correct higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to 1 as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without

sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only 1 cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet

for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away

from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a

spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches

below the food.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause

uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Don’t Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil unit in the oven. You can broil in the upper or the lower oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

If the meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired,

fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8 inch thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling is done on shelf position C, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you higher position.

Use of

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However,

you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the

broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Aluminum Foil

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use

a rack in the pan?

A. Yes.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

A. No.

Using the rack suspends the meat over the pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

meat from sticking?

The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No.

Salt draws out the juices and allows them to evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil unit for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

(continued next page)

Page 38

BROILING GUIDE

Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes

with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

The oven door should be open to the broil stop position.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use longs to turn meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

edges

of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise

5. When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides. These could soil the oven.

6. The broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide

1 X times per side.

8. If your range is connected to 208 Volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

CAUTION

●

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

●

Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

●

Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

●

Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair

the plug-in receptacle.

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first. Make sure the surface units are completely cool before touching them.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch.

If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than

1 inch above the drip pan can permanently

damage the receptacle.
