placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

–Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in 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 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.

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.

●

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.

●

Use of the DOUBLE DUTY shelf accessory.

–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 pot holders when handling the shelf and cookware. They may be hot.

–Do not use microwave browning dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat.

–Be sure that the shelf is positioned properly inside the oven to prevent product damage (see page 26).

times in the defrosting guide seem right for my food?

A. These times are averages.

Defrosting time can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time indicated in the defrosting guide. If your food is still not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset your oven and adjust the time accordingly.

Some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example, fish cooks so quickly it is better to begin cooking while it is still slightly frozen.

Q. Can I open the door during

defrosting to check on the progress of my food?

A. Yes.

You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, close the door and press START. The oven begins operating if time is left on timer. If not, reset timer.

Questions and Answers

I set my oven for the time called for in the recipe, but at the end of the time allowed, my food wasn’t done. What happened?

Since house power varies due to time or location, many recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook your food a

little

longer, if necessary.

Q. I touched the number pads
