Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy

~STRUCTIONS

tMs apptiance.

●

For best operation, plug this appliance into

its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of

Iighk,

blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit

breaker.

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do Not Operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (bent) (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

(3)

door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The Oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel,

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING-~oreducetherisko~

burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons

or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

●

Do not mount this appliance over a sink. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.

●

Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

●

Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

●

Do not immerse power cord or plug in water.

●

Keep power cord away from heated surfaces.

●

Do not let power cord hang over edge of table

or counter.

●

Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

See door surface cleaning instructions in the Care

and Cleaning section(s) of your book.

●

This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

●

As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

●

Use this appliance only for its intended use as

described in this manual.

●

Read and follow the specific “Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy” in this book.

This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.”

●

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This microwave oven is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

●

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 from paper or plastic

bags before placing bags in oven. —Do not use your microwave oven to dry

newspapers. —Do not use recycled paper products. Recycled

paper towels, napkins and waxed 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.

(continued next page)

WORTANT

SAFETY

(continued)

—Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven

unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use 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 operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs the life of the oven.

●

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

Some

products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury,

Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even

without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

●

Don’t defrost frozen beverages in narrow 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 metal only as directed in this book. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4” high; remove top

foil

cover and return tray to box. When using metal in the microwave oven, keep metal at

least

1 inch away from sides

of oven.

●

Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Pot holders may be needed to handle the cookware.

~STRUCTIONS

●

Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section(s) for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.

●

Thermometer—Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.

●

Remove the temperature probe from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in the food or liquid, and turn on the microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

●

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.

●

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

MICROWAVING TIPS

● Make sure all cookware used in your microwave

oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen

can

be used. Some cookware is labeled “suitable

for

microwaving.”

If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test:

Place in the oven both the dish you are testing and a glass measuring

cup filled with one

CUD water—set the

measuring cup either in or next to the dish. Microwave

minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

AUTOMATIC FAN FEATURE

● Paper towels, waxed 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. Check the Cooking Guide.

● 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.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.

Cooking appliances installed under the oven may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on up to approximately 30 minutes after the range and microwave

oven controls have been turned off.

Questions and Answers

Q. I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food was not done. What happened?

A. Since house power varies due to time or location,

many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness and cook the food a little longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads and selected my

power level. When I touched START, however, my oven didn’t come on. Why not?

The TIME COOK I & 11 pad must be touched before setting the power level otherwise your oven will not begin cooking.

Round Shapes.

rings cook more evenly. Corners receive more energy and may overcook. This when cooking conventionally.

Delicacy.

Foods with a delicate texture, such as custards, are best cooked avoid toughening.

Natural Moisture of food affects how it cooks. Very

moist foods cook evenly because microwave energy

is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in

faster

than thick areas. This can be controlled in microwaving by placing thick pieces near the outside edge and thin pieces in the center.

Starting Temperature.

Foods taken

from

the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. Timings in our recipes are based on the temperatures at which you normally store the foods.

Quantity of Food.

In both types of cooking,

small

amounts usually take less time than large amounts.

This is most apparent in microwave cooking, where

time is directly related to the number of servings.
