UTENSILS GUIDE This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave. Recommended ·Microwave browning dish -- Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. ·Microwaveable plastic wrap -- Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. ·Paper towels and napkins -- Use for a short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and could ignite. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5 ·Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes -- Use for heating or cooking. ·Paper plates and cups -- Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite. ·Wax paper -- Use as a cover to prevent spattering. ·Thermometers -- Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe" and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven. Limited Use · Aluminum foil -- Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity. ·Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware -- Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe". If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely. ·Plastic -- Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe". Other plastics can melt. ·Straw, wicker, and wood -- Use only for short-term heating, such as warming dinner rolls for a few seconds; baskets and bowls may be flammable. Not Recommended ·Glass jars and bottles -- Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury. ·Paper bags -- These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. ·Styrofoam plates and cups -- These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food. ·Plastic storage and food containers -- Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. ·Metal utensils -- These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking. Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 6 COOKING TECHNIQUES Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable. Shielding Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large foods such as roasts. Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving. Adding moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperse evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 7 BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE If the oven fails to operate: A) Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again securely. B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.
