COOKBOOK.

NEVER use the oven without the tumtabte and support nor

turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in
the oven The turntable will turn both clockwise and

counterclockwise..
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the

microwave energy

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may

hear the magnetron cycling on and off
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking Room

humidity and the moisture infood will influence the amount of
moisture that condenses in the oven Generally, covered

foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered

ones Vents on the oven back must not be blocked

Occasionally during convection or combination cooking of
certain high-moisture foods, condensation may accumulate

on the counter surface beneath the oven door.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will
hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate as
long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature

Be aware that, unlike mlcrowave*only ovens, convection
microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot dudng
convection, automatic mix and broil cooking

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used
to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your ovenis rated 850 watts using the IEC705-1988 method

in using recipes or package directions, check food at the

minimum time and add time accordingly

DISH CHECK, If you wish to check if a dish is sate for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH

for 30 seconds,. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use itfor microwaving
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase such as popcorn poppers and thermometers,

Evaluate carefully before purchasing. A microwave safe or dual safe microwave/conventional thermometer will assist you in
determining doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to a safe temperature. The dual safe thermometer can be

used with mix cooking 8

About Microwave Cooking

"Arrange food carefully_ Place thickest areas toward

outside of dish..

"Watch cooking time.. Cook for the shortest amount of

time indicated and add more as needed_ Foods severely

overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Coverfoods whilecooking. Check recipe for suggestions:

paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a

lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook

evenly.

"Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any areas

of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking or over
defrosting,

"Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice

during cooking, if possible_

• Turn foods over once dunng microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers..
Large items like roasts or turkey breasts must be turned

over at least oncer

• Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking

both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish
to the outside.

• Add standing time, Remove food from oven and stir, if
possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food
to finish cooking without overcooking.

"Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that

cooking temperatures have been reached,

Doneness signs include:

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge,

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork

About Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and !2, the supervising person should be in the

same room,,
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not,

hetshe should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the

oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use

potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill helshe can cook everything

About Safety

"Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures:

- 160°Fofor fresh pork, boneless white poultry, _h,_
seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food_ !
165°F. for leftover, ready-to-heat refrigerated, t

and dell and carry-out "fresh" food |
170_F white meat of poultry. /

180_F.. dark meat of poultry J

To testfor doneness, insert a meat thermometer in athick or

dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the

thermometer infood during cooking, unless it is approved for

both microwave and conventional use.

• Always use pothotders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food

Enough heat from the food can transferthrough utensils
to cause skin bums.

* Avoid steam bums by directing steam away from the

face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's
coveting and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking
bags away from the face

"Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking

progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.

* NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other

items.

"Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its

high quality and minimize the spread of foodbome
bacteria.

"Keep wave guide cover clean. Food residue can cause

arcing and/or fires.
Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch

away from walls, ceiling and door.

"Use potholders and be careful when using convection,

mix orbroil cooking as cabinet, interior and door may be
too hot to touch
