TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY section.

●

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

—Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

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

—Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from

paper or plastic containers before placing them in the oven.

—Do not use your microwave oven to dry

newspapers.

—Do not use recycled paper products.

Recycled paper towels, napkins and wax paper can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory

or unless you

popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

—Do not overcook potatoes. They could

dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

—Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid

damage to the oven and the danger of fire. If by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid

all

operating the oven empty at

times—it saves

energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars,

even without their

lids;

especially meat and

egg mixtures.

Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven.

Pressure will build up inside the egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

●

Foods with unbroken outer ‘(skin” such as

potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg

yolks”should

pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

●

Do not defrost frozen beverages in

nariow-

necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

Use foil only as directed in this book..

TV dinners maybe microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4 inch high; remove the top foil cover and return the tray to the box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep it at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.

●

Cookware may become hot because of heat

transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

●

The oven floor

cau

become too hot to touch. Be

careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

●

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend

to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture.

(continued next page)

—Do not use the oven for storage purposes.

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

—If materials inside the oven should ignite,

keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

●

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.

Spontaneous boiling—Under certain ,

special circumstances, liquids may start

to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before removing the container from the microwave oven.

cookware. They may be hot.

—Do not use a microwave browning dish on

the shelf. The shelf could overheat.. Use of the shelf with the Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

●

Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use

in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.

●

~~Boi]ab]e”

cooking pouches and

tightly closed plastic bags should be

slit,

pierced or vented as directed on

the package. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal. When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap,

remove covering carefully and direct steam away

from hands and face.

elf-Cleaning Lower Oven:

●

Stand away from the cooking center when

opening the oven door. The hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face

andlor

eyes.

@ Do

not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

●

Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.

●

Keep the oven free from grease build-up.

Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holders contact the oven units.

Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

●

When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

“- Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

●

Do not store anything in

items may catch on fire, and plastic items may melt. Always keep the oven area clear and free of items that may burn.

Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

●

Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

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.
