Microwaving Tips

● Make sure all utensils used in

your microwave oven arelab$led %uitableformicrowaving”. Check your Cookbook for specific test to determine ’’microwave-safe” utensils.

a paper towels, waxpaper, and

plastic wrap can beused tocover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering.

● Some microwaved foods require

stirring, rotating, or rearranging. Check your Cookbook forspecific instructions.

● Some foods such as unshelled

eggs and hotdogs must be pierced toallow steamto escape during cooki

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electrical appliances

basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING—TO reduce the risk of burns, electric

shock, fire,

injury to persons or exposure to

excessive microwave energy:

● 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” found on page 2.

● This appliance must be

grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See

“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS found on page 32.

● For best operation, plug this

appliance into it own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

● Install or locate this appliance

only ‘inaccordance with the provided installation instructions.

● Do not cover or block any

openings on the appliance.

● Do not use outdoors.

● 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.

● This appliance should be ser-

viced 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.

● See door cleaning instruc-

tions on page 28.

● To reduce the risk of fire in

the oven cavity: —Do not overcook food. Care-

fully 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 bag in oven.

—Paper towels and napkins,

waxpaper. Recycled paper

products can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products con-

taining nylon filaments should

be avoided, as they may also

ignite. —Do not use your microwave

oven to dry newspapers.

—Do not pop popcorn in your

microwave oven unless in a spe-

cial microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

—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

times—it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

—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.

● Some products such as

whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed glass jars-may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

IMPORTANT ‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even

lids; especially meat and

without their

egg

mixtures.

● Don’t defrost frozen Nver-

in narrow necked bottles;

ages

especially carbonated ones.

Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as dire@ed in

Cookbook Metal strips a$ used on meat roasts are helpful when used as shown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in

metal tfays but when usinp shelf they must be replaced in their box. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keep metal

(other than metal shelf) at least

l-inch away from sides of oven.

● Cooking utensils may

become hot

because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering

the top and handles of the

utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the uten~il.

● Sometimes, the oven fl@r

can become too hot to touph. Be careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

● Do not use any thermometer

in food you are microwaving unless that 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 food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven walls.

● Plastic Utensils—Plastic

utensils designed for microwave cooking are ve~ useful, but

should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking co~ditions as are glass or ceramic

materials and may soften or char if subjected to short p$riods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the faod and utensils could ignite. For

these reasons: 1) Use micro-

wave plastics ‘only “and use

them” in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturers recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children

to use plastic utensils without complete supemision.

● When cooking pork follow

our directions exactly and always cook the meat to at least 170°. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it

will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

● Boiling eggs (in and out of

shell) is not

recommended for

microwave cooking. Pressure can buiid up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

● 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.

● “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they

‘are not, plastic could burst dur-

ing or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should beat 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.

● Use of the shelf accessory.

(See your Cookbook for proper

use.)

—Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

—Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use potholders when handling the shelf and utensils. They may

be hot.

—Do not use microwave browning dish on shejf. The shelf could overheat. Use of shelf with Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

THE HOOD:

● Have it installed and properly

grounded by a qualified installer. See the special installation book. let packed with the microwave

oven.

● The vent fan in your Space-

maker@ oven will operate automatically under certain

conditions (see Automatic Fan Feature, page 7). While the fan is operating caution is required to prevent the starting and spread-

ing of accidental cooking fir= while the vent fan is in use.

this reason: —Never leave

unattended at

Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if vent fan is operating. To minimize automatic

operation, use adequate sized utensils and

tings only when necessary.

—In the event of a grease fire, smother flaming pan on surface unit by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.

—Never flame foods under the oven with the vent fan operating because it may spread the flames.

—Keep hood and grease filters ciean, according on pages 27 and 29, to maintain good venting and avoid grease

fires.

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 dish wasn’t 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 your

dish a little longer, if necessary.

● Homemade dinners can be fro-

zen in shallow foil trays and heated for later use. Select foods which microwave well.

● Pre-packaged frozen dinners

can be defrosted and microwave cooked.

Questions and Answers

When I press START, I hear a

Cl.

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 HIGH.

Q. Can I Defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the ‘ower Level after entering the tifi and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the time in ~z; power Level 10 cuts the time to lA. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START.

Q. Why don’t the defrosting times in the Cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are average. Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in your Cookbook. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, re-set your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

● Check your Cookbook for other

defrosting tips.

O. Can ! seiect a ?swer Level other than au?omat!c %wer Level 3 for defrosting?

A. Yes. Some smaller foods may be defrosted quicker on higher Power Levels but for even, carefree defrosting, Power Level 3 is suggested. Check the chart in the Cookbook for specific times and Power Levels.

Q. When I’m entering minutes with no seconds do I need to touch “O” then “O”?

A. No. You touch the number pad then the MIN Pad which automatically enters two “00”.

Cooking by Temperature

For many foods, internal temperature is the best test of doneness.

Roasts or poultry are cooked to perfection when temperature cooking. Heating or reheating foods accurately to a serving temperature you desire is simple and easy.

TEMP COOK takes the guesswork out of cooking

because the oven shuts off automatically when the food is done.

The Temperature Probe

The temperature probe is a food thermometer that gauges the internal temperature of your food; it must be used when using TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Follow the directions for use and insertion on page
