UseProperPanSize—T’his amliance isequirmedwith oneormore surfacpunits of different size, Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to coverthe
surface unit heating element. The useof undersized utensils will exposea por­tion of the heating element to direct contact and mayresult in ignition of cloth­,ng. Properrelationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
* ‘Never leave surface units unattended at high heat se~tings.Boilover causes

Use only dry pothoklers—
moist or damp potholderson hotsurfaces mayresult in burnsfrom steam. Do not let potholderstouch hot heating elements. Do not usea towel or other bulky cloth.

Glazed cooking utensils
—only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or otherglazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due tothe sudden change in temperature.
*
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend overadjacent surface units.

Whenflaming foodsunderthe hood,turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spreadthe flame.

Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If racks must be han­dled when hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven,

Pulling out shelf all the way to the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the dooror ovenwalls.

Cooking utensils may become hot becauseof heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle them.
Also, under some cooking operations the shelf can become too hot to touch. THEREFORE, DURING AND AFTER COOKING, CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERT CISED IN TOUCHING THE SHELF.
~ Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing in microwave
oven. Twist-ties can cause heating of the bag under certain conditions, and can cause fire.

15. Plastic Utensil$—??lastic utensils de­signed for microwave cooking am 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 may
even ignite, for these reasons: 1) Use mi­crowave plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer% recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without eom­p!ete supervision.

Casseroks—-150°-160” internal temperature gives best doneness on mixture of precooked
foods heated together into a main dish. Raw foodssuch as hamburger or other meat, vegetables and sauces starting from “scratch” should be precooked before combining together in-to a casserole heated to above temperature.

Stewing, simmering and candy making-this type of cooking involves bringing food to a boil­ing or simmering temperature and holding it at that temperature for a long period of time. We recommend LOW POWER and TIME settings on your microwave oven for most stew­ing. See specific recipe suggestions pages in special MEDIUM and LOW l?OWEFt COOK­ING section of Cook Book for stewing. See Candy chapter of Microwave Oven Cook Book for candy making.

NOTE: .Ifyour range is being operated on low power (voltage), canning may ~~e ~onge~~ha~ expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process may be unproved by: 1) Using a pressure canner, and 2) For faster heating of large water quantities, begin with HOT tap water.

The difficulty might also be in the main distri­bution panel of your house by a blown oven circuit fuse, a tripped oven circuit breaker, the main fuse, or the main circuit breaker,depend­ing upon the nature of the power supply. If a circuit breaker is involved, reset it. If the con­trol box employs fuses, the oven fuse (a car­tridge-type) should be changed. BUT ONLY BY SOMEONE FAMILIAR WITH ELEC-
TRICAL CIRCUITS.
Apartment tenants should requesttheirbuildingmanagementto per­form thischeckbefore callingfor service. If after replacingthe oven circuit
