Metal strips as used
on meat, roasts are helpful when
used asshown in Cookbook.

TV dinners may be cooked in
metal trays but when using shelf
they must be replaced in their
box. However, when using metal
in microwave oven, keep

metal

l-inchawayfromsidesofoven.

e Cookingutensilsmay
becomehot

because of heat

transferred from the heated

food.This isespeciallytrueif
plasticwrap hasbeencovering
thetop and handlesof the
utensil.Potholdersmaybe
neededto handlethe utensil.

e Sometimes,theoven floor

Cooking appliancesinstalled undw theovenmight,
under some heavy usage conditions, cause temp­eratures high enough to overheat some internal
partsof the microwaveoven.

To prevent overheating from taking place,the vent
fan is designed to automatically turn on at low

speedif excessivetemperatures occur. Should this
happen,the fancannot be manually turned off, but
it will automatically turn off when the internal parts
have cooled, The fan may stay on up to approxi-

mately 30 minutes after the range and microwave

ovencontrols havebeen turned off.
