materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.

*Plastic U%ensils—Plastic
utensilsdesigned for microwave
cooking are very useful, but
should be used carefully. Even
microwave plastic may not be as
tolerant of overcooking condi-
tions as are glass or ceramic
materials and may soften or
char if subjected to short periods
of overcooking. In longer expo-
sures to overcooking, the food
and utensils could ignite. For
thesereasons:1)Use micro-
wave plastics only “and use
them” in strict compliance with
the utensil manufacturer’s
recommendations. 2) Do not
subject empty utensils to micro-
waving. 3) Do not permit children
to use plastic utensils without
complete supervision.
eWhen cooking porkfollow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at least
170°. This assures that, in the
remote possibility that trichina
may be present in the meat, it
will be killed and meat will be
safeto eat.
eBoilingi2ggs(in and out of
shall) is not recommended for
microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and
may cause it to burst, resulting
in injury.
49 Foods with outer
“skin”such as potatoes, hot
dogs or sausages, tomatoes,
apples, chicken livers and other
gibiets, and eggs (see above)
should be pierced to allow
steam to escape during cooking.
e“Boilable”cooking pouches
and tightly closed plasticbags
should be slit, pierced or vented
as directed in Cookbook. If they
are not, plastic could burst dur-
ing or immediately after cooking,
possibly resulting in injury. Also,
plastic storage containers should
be at least partially uncovered
because they form atight seal.
When cooking with containers
tightly covered with plastic wrap,
remove covering carefully and
direct steam away from hands
and face.
eUse of the DOUBLE D!JTYTM
shelf accessory. (See your Cook-
book for proper use.)
—Remove the shelf from oven
when not in use.
—Do not store or cook with
shelf on flcor of oven. Product
damage may result.
—Use potholders when handling
the shelf and utensils. They may
be hot.
—Do not use microwave brown-
ing dish on shelf. The shelf could
overheat.

Defrosting Tips
@Foods frozen in paper or
plastic can be defrosted in the
package.
eFor even defrosting, many
foods neec~to be broken up or
separated part of the way through
the defrosting time. ,, . -
@Homemade dinners can be
frozen in shallow foil trays and
heated for later use. (Do not heat
on metal shelf). Select foods
which microwave well.
@Pre-packaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwave
cooked, but foil tray must be
returned to box before cooking
on metal shelf.
@Check your Cookbook for
defrosting tips. other

not to touch the fat or the bone.
@Insert probe as horizontally as
possible into foods as directed in

HowtoUse
Cook CodeTMControl is ashort-cut method for en-
tering time and the Power Level on your microwave
oven. Cooking Codes are only used for recipes
which need iittle or no attention, and which require
no change of power level during cooking. Recipes
which !equire additional ingredients, attention or
change ot power level during microwaving should
be rooked in the usual manner. Also, recipes with
cooking time of less than one minute or more than
99 minutes can not use Cooking Codes.
Tu understand the Cook Code control, it is import-
ant to know what the numbers mean and what the
sequence is. The first and second numbers, if set-
ting a 3 digit Cooking Code, indicate the amount of
time you desire; the last control entry number is
always the Power Level. For example, 125 means
12minutes at Power Level 5. INOTE:Your oven can
only be programmed to 99 minutes when using the
Cook Code control and the highest Power Level is
10 which is represented by “O”. When setting a
2digit Cook Code control entry, the first is time, the
second is power level For example, 50 means
5minutes at Power Level 10.

needed, add additional time by changing Ihe first

cycle time--Cooking Codes are for whole minutes
only. If your recipe calls for Power Level changes or
different amounts of time needed between addition
of ingredients, you may set one Cooking Code for
the first part of the recipe, then after completion, set
another Cooking Code for that period of time and
Power Level.
Remember that Cooking Codes are for micro--

The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in the
wall receptacle to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
Attaching the adapter

tacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover

and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The
customer should havethe circuit

make sure the receptacle is prop-

When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. Hthis is
