Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressurecould build up and

the container could burst, resulting in injury. When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not store flammable materials in the ovens.

DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES.

When

cookingin the oven, flame can be smothered by completely closing door

and turning OVEN SET to OFF.

Don’t use aluminum foil anvwhere in the oven except as described in this booklet. Improper instailatio~ could result in a shock,”fire hazard, or damage to the range.

Self-CleaningOven. ..

Do not clean doorgasket.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 protectiv

coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

Clean only parts listed in this Use& Care booklet. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other utensils. Listen for fan—a fan noise should be heard during the cleaning cycle.

is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be needed to handle the

utensil.

2. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to touch. 13e careful touching the shelf

during and after cooking.

3. Don’t heat unopened food containers in

the oven. Pressure building up can cause the

container to burst, resulting in injury.

5. Don’t overcook food excessively. Food dries out, and can even ignite in some cases.

6. If food should ever ignite: Keep the oven

door closed. Turn off the power immediately:

turn timer to OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off power at the fuse circuit breaker panel.

S. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plas-

tic bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes cause bag to heat, and may cause fire. Foods in paper or plastic bags should only be heated for short periods of time.

9. Boiling eggs (in or out of shell) is not rec- ommended for microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

10. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn

accessory or unless you use popcorn in a package labeled for microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated without these precautions, the container could catch fire.

11. Use metal only as directed in cookbook.

Metal strips as used on meat roastsarehelpful in cooking food when used as directed. Metal trays may be used for TV dinners. However, when using metal in the microwave

oven, keep metal at least l-inch away from

sides of microwave oven.

12. Do not operate the oven while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of

fire. If by accident the oven should runempty

a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid operating the oven empty at all times-it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

13. 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 allow steam to escape during cooking.

14. “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags or plastic wrap tightly covering containers should be slit, pricked or vented as otherwise directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they formsuch a tight seal.

Casseroles-150°-1600 internal temperature gives best doneness on mixture of precooked

foods heated together into a main dish. Some other casseroles and main dishes starting from raw ingredients may also be cooked.

Reheating leftovers-this type of food is excellent to heat with temperature probe because

often the amount of leftover ing to a preset temperature (usually 140 to 155°) eliminates the guesswork.

Plates of Food—in g~neral,p!ace ternperatur6probe in largest piece of food, then coverplate

with wax paper (or hghtly with plastic wrap). A preset temperatureof 150to 160°gives piping hot food.

Beverages and soups—use clip on cable of probe to help stabilize probe in liquids. A preset temperature of 130° is “warmto drink,” about 170° is “steaming hot.”

Beef, lamb and ham loaves—be sure to place probe as horizontally as possible, and use clip

tn stabilize probe in meat mixture. For best results, consult meat loaf recipes in cook book and do not exceed total weight of

meat. A good rule of thumb to follow in preparing meat loaf mixtures is to use 1 cup liquid

(milk, water or juice such as tomato) to l% total pounds ground meat.

Roasts-carefree microwavemany roasts. Very specific instructions are included in Cookbook.

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.Oven thermostats,over a period of years, may ‘rdri~t”from the factory settingand differences in timingbetween an old and a new oven of

5 to 10 minutes are not unusualand you

may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly. However, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more apt to be accurate thanthe oven it replaced.

Broiling is cooking foodsby intense mdi-

ant heat fromthe upper unit in the oven. Most fishand tender cuts of meat can be broiled.Followthese steps to keep spattering and smokingto a minimum.

1. If meathasfat orgristlenear edge,cut vertical slashes through both about 2-in. apart. If desiredfat maybe trimmed,leav-

ing a layer about ~s-in.thick.

2. Place meat on broilerrack in broiler pan whichcomeswith range. Alwaysuse

rack so fat drips into broiler pan; other-

wise juices may become hot enough to

catch fire.Aluminumfoilmay be used to line broiler pan and rack. But, be CER-

TAIN to cut openingsin foil, to correspond with rack so fat drips into pan below.See note belowbefore marinating

and using barbecuesauce.

3. Letters on ovenwall,and chart below,

indicate where to position shelf for best browningwhilecookinginside of food to
