Cook foodsthe best way. Cook by time or by temper­ature. Your oven lets you tailor the way you cook to the
food. Useyour CountersaverTMMicrowave Oven Cook-
ing Gude & Recipe Book to help you select which kind
of cooking to use.

Fast, familiar cooking by time. You’ll find most of your
microwave meals will be cooked by time. Useit forall it’s
worth with most casseroles, vegetables, appetizers,
snacks and small, individual foods like potatoes, hot
dogs, hamburgers and meatballs. It’s also great for pie
crusts, desserts like baked fruit, puddings and candies.

Use temperature cooking when you can’t afford
guesswork. The solid-state microwave thermometer

tells you the internal temperature of food...a reassuring

way to cook roast, ham and other foods that need a

specific temperature for the right doneness.

Enjoya world of new recipe ideas. Useyour Counter-

saverTMMicrowaveOvenCooking Guide& RecipeBook,

included with your oven, for all it’s worth! H tells you
everything you need to know about using your oven
properly . . .

and having lots of success using it! Thirty­eight Micro-lessons take you step-by-step through ail
the basics.And the over 400 recipes and 52 charts are
sureto keepmealtimes mterestlng

1. For personal safety, the oven must be properly

grounded. See grounding instructions onpage3. For

best operation, plug this appliance into itsown circuit to
prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.

2. Use of extension cords is strictly prohibited be­cause amount of current is prohibitive for connecting the
extension cord.

3. Do not use adapter plugs since this will defeat the
proper grounding of the appliance and might result in
severe or fatal shock hazard.

4, Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat
transferred from the heated food. Thisisespecially trueif
plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of
the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the
utensil.

5. Sometimes the oven shelf can become too hot to

touch. Becareful whentouching the shelf aftercooking.

6. 13m’t heat unopened food containers in the oven.
Pressure, building up, can cause the container to burst,
resulting in injury.

7. Don’t defrost frozen liquids-especially carbonated
ones in narrow necked containers. Evenif the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, resulting in injury.

8. Don’t overcook. Excessive overcooking dehy-

drates potatoes, and may cause them to catch fire
causing damage.

9. Iffood should ever ignite: IQeptheoven door clos­ed. Turn off the power immediately. Turntimer to OFF

or disconnect power cord or shut off power at the fuse
circuit breaker panel.

10. Remove the temperature probe from the oven
when not using it. Otherwise, it can create electrical
arcing in the oven and damage oven walls.

11. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags
when placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes cause bag
to heat and may cause fire.

12. Microwaving eggs in shells and shelled boiled
eggs is not recommended. They can burst and cause
injury.

Vegetables are just wonderful when you microwave.

Freshor frozenvegetables havefreshflavorandtexture.

13.Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven un­less in a special microwave popcorn accessory or un

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

14. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Metal
strips as used on meat roastsare helpful incooking food
when used as directed. Metaltrays 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.

15. IMn’toperate the oven whileempty inorderto pro-
long the life of the oven and saveenergy. If, by accident,
the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is
done.

16. Do notstoref!ammable materials inanoven. Also,

do not use flammable fluids inthe vicinity of your oven.

THE HOOD:

1. Have it installed and properlygrounded by a qual­ified installer. See the special installation booklet

packed with the microwave oven.

2. Caution is required to prevent the starting and

spreading of accidental cooking fires while the vent
fan is in use.

A. Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite and spread if vent fan is
operating. Use surface unit heat settings recom­mended by the manufacturer and adequate sized
utensils.

B, 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.

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

D. Keep hood and grease filters clean, according
to instructions on pages 13 and 14, to maintain
gobd venting and avoid grease fires.

How

TIME Ccm!mcm

Your microwave oven hasa circular timer that can be ro-

tated manually. The timer indicator moves towards “O”
only when the oven is cooking or defrosting with micro­wave energy.

When the timer reaches “O” a bell will sound to tell you
that cooking is completed and the power, the indicator

light, interior light and fan are shut off automatically.
Remember, if you open the door before the timer reach-

es “O”, cooking or defrosting will stop. When you close
the door and press START,cooking starts again where
you left off.
