Do not clean doorgasket.The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protectiv coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Clean only parts listed in this Use& Care booklet. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other utensils. Listen for fan —a fan noise should be heard during the cleaning—.cycle. If not, call aserviceman before self-cleaning again. - MicrowaveOven e . . 0 Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food, Pot holders may be needed to handle them. Also, under some cooking operations the shelf can become too hot to touch. THEREFORE, DURING AND AFTER COOKING, CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN TOUCHING THE SHELF. o Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing in microwave oven. Twist-ties can cause heating of the bag under certain conditions, and can cause fire. If you need service. . . e ● * Read “Before You Call for Product Service” at rear of book, Don’t attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in the book. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician, Disconnect range at range circuit breaker or main fuse before performing service. - 3 10. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn in a package labeled for microwave ovens. Because of the heat generated without these precautions, the container could catch fire. 1,. Cooking utensils may become hot because of heat transferredfrom the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Pot holders may be needed to handle the utensil. 11. Use metal only as directed in cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful in cooking food when used as directed. Metal trays 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. 2. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too hot to touch. 13e careful touching the shelf during and after cooking. 3. Don’t heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure building up can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury. 12. 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 life of the oven. 4. Don’t defrost frozen liquids—especially rbonated ones — in the oven. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build UP. This can cause the container to burst, resuRing in injury. 13. 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. 5. Don’t overcook food excessively. Food dries out, and can even ignite in some cases. 6. If food should ever ignite: Keep the oven door closed. Turn off the power immediately: turn timer to OFF or disconnect power cord or shut off power at the fuse circuit breaker panel. 14. “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags or plastic wrap tightly covering containers should be slit, pricked or vented as otherwise directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered because they form such a tight seal. IG. DOnot use your microwave oven to dry newspaper. If overheated, it can catch fire. 7. Remove the temperature sensor from the oven when not using it to cook with. If you leave the sensorinsidethe ovenwithoutin- sertingit in foodor liquid,and turn onmicrowaveenergyit can createelectricalarcingin the oven,and darnageovenwalls. S. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plastic bags before placing in oven. Twist-ties sometimes cause bag to heat, and may cause fire. Foods in paper or plastic bags should only be heated for short periods of time. 16.Whencookingpork eitherconventionally or in the microwaveoven,followour directions exactlyand alwayscook the meatto at least 170’.Thisassuresthat,intheremotepossibility thattrichinamaybe presentin themeat,it will bekilledandmeatwillbesafeto eat. 9.

The VariablePower Control is marked with 10 settings, which have been used in testing recipes availablein your new MicrowaveOven CookBook.However,you can adjust the powerlevelto select settings betweenthe numbers marked on the control, to fit the type, amount and kind of food you are cooking.In this way, you,the user, have completecontrol over the amount of microwavepower used for cookingyour food.And, you have flex ibility to cookall foodtypes, becausepowercan be adjusted. Do use your CookBook as a guide to excellentmicrowavecookingresults. Use the 10 settings on your Variable Power Control in some of the many ways listed below: WTTlh!G ~~ (High or “Full On” Power): Boiling candy, puddings and sauces, cooking small to medium-size vegetables, pastry shells, chicken pieces, fish, hamburgers, bringing to boil soups, stews and simmered-type meats. Also, cooking baked-type fruits such as apples, beverages, many moist cakes and bar cookies such as brownies, appetizers and fast melting of butter. Partial cooking of delicate foods, reheating leftover refrigerated foods (individual portions or plates), cooking some pie fillings, fast defrosting very small foods such as individual rolls or doughnuts. W1’TNG$ ~~~ (Medium High) Reheating larger portions leftover refrigerated foods, reconstituting TV dinners and some other frozen foods, some cakes made from a mix, some large whole vegetables such as broccoli spears. SETTINGS (Medium) Cookingcustard-type vegetable casseroles, whole head of cauliflower, omelets, commercially frozen souflies, some cookies, finish cooking fudge, bread pudding and other dessert custards, drying homemade noodles, and roasting some meats with automatic temperature control, ineluding “Carefree Roasting.” 9 ,’ ,“ VariablePowerCooking(’continued) ‘! (Low) $etting 3 is used for most defrosting. Also, melting chocolate, making icings arid gkxzes,cheese *e, roasting some meats with automatic temperature control, including some “Carefree Roasting.” Also, de~icde sauces, finish cooking some stews and soups, simmering dried peas and beans. $~~~~t!ti~ f!!h~ Wll!l(i q (Vi/arm) Soften butter to spreading consistency, raising yeast doughs, keeping heated foods warm u~ to one hour. The variable power control for your microwaveoven specifiesSetting 3 (LOW) as Defrost. For most defrosting of normal size foods,this setting givesbest results. However,when defrosting small foods,such as a singlefrozendoughnut, sweetroll,a few hors d’oeuvres,one or two frankfurters, a higher power level may be used because of these small food amounts Microwaveenergy can reach all inner and outer areas at the same time thus, settings 8-9 may often be used with very goodand quick results. Foods kept in Frozen Food Storage Compartment at the top of some single door refrigerators are at higher temperatures than most food freezers. These foods may take less time to defrost than times givenin the cookbook. In defrostingfroxenfoods,our HomeEconomistsnoticed a definiterelationshipof freezer temperature to defrostingtime. That is, foods defrosted from freezers set at coldest settings took longerto thaw than foodsfrom freezersat middleor high settings.

To determine actual cooking temperature of food,turn TEMP control dial to lower temp setting until buzzer sounds. 13 MICROWAVE OVEN 1. Casseroles-150°-1600 internal temperature gives best doneness on mixture of precooked foods heated together into a main dish. Some other casseroles and main dishes starting from raw ingredients may also be cooked. 2. Reheating leftovers-this type of food is excellent to heat with temperature probe because often the amount of leftover foodis not known,therefore, the to cook is only a guess. Cooking to a preset temperature (usually 140 to 155°) eliminates the guesswork. 3. Plates of Food—in g~neral,p!ace ternperatur6probe in largest piece of food, then cover plate with wax paper (or hghtly with plastic wrap). A preset temperature of 150 to 160° gives piping hot food. 4. Beverages and soups—use clip on cable of probe to help stabilize probe in liquids. A preset temperature of 130° is “warm to drink,” about 170° is “steaming hot.” 5. Beef, lamb and ham loaves—be sure to place probe as horizontally as possible, and use clip tn stabilize probe in meat mixture. For best results, consult meat loaf recipes in cook book and do not exceed total weight of meat. A good rule of thumb to follow in preparing meat loaf mixtures is to use 1 cup liquid (milk, water or juice such as tomato) to l% total pounds ground meat. 6. Roasts-carefree microwave many roasts.

Broiling is cooking foods by intense mdi- ant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Followthese steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. 1. If meat has fat or gristlenear edge,cut vertical slashes through both about 2-in. apart. If desiredfat maybe trimmed, leaving a layer about ~s-in.thick. 2. Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan which comes with range. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire. Aluminumfoil may be used to line broiler pan and rack. But, be CERTAIN to cut openings in foil, to correspond with rack so fat drips into pan below.See note below before marinating and using barbecue sauce. 3.
