1,. Cooking utensils may become hot because
ofheat transferredfromthe 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.
2. Sometimes, the oven shelf can become too
hot to touch. 13ecareful 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.
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, resuR-
ing in injury.
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.
7. Remove the temperature sensor from the
oven when not using it to cook with. If you
leave the sensorinsidethe ovenwithoutin-
sertingit infoodorliquid,andturnonmicro-
waveenergyitcancreateelectricalarcingin
theoven,anddarnageovenwalls.
S. Remove wire twist-ties on paper and plas-
tic 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.
9. Boiling eggs (in or out of shell) is not rec-
ommended for microwave cooking. Pressure
can build up inside egg yolk and may cause
it to burst, resulting in injury.
10. Do not pop popcorn in your microwave
oven unless in aspecial microwave popcorn
accessory or unless you use popcorn in a
package labeled for microwave ovens. Be-
cause of the heat generated without these
precautions, the container could catch fire.
11. Use metal only as directed in cookbook.
Metal strips as used on meat roasts are help-
ful 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.
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 runempty
aminute 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.
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.
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 in-
jury. Also, plastic storage containers should
be at least partially uncovered because they
formsuch atight seal.
IG. DOnot use your microwave oven to dry
newspaper. If overheated, it can catchfire.

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.

Casseroles-150°-1600 internal temperature gives best doneness on mixture of precooked
foods heated together into amain dish. Some other casseroles and main dishes starting from
raw ingredients may also be cooked.
Reheating leftovers-this type of food is excellent to heat with temperature probe because
often the amount of leftover foodisnot known,therefore, the to cook isonly aguess. Cook-
ing to apreset temperature (usually 140 to 155°) eliminates the guesswork.
Plates of Food—in g~neral,p!ace ternperatur6probe in largest piece of food, then coverplate
with waxpaper (or hghtly with plastic wrap). Apreset temperatureof 150to 160°gives pip-
ing hot food.
Beverages and soups—use clip on cable of probe to help stabilize probe in liquids. Apreset
temperature of 130° is “warmto drink,” about 170° is “steaming hot.”
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. Agood rule of thumb to follow in preparing meat loaf mixtures is to use 1cup liquid
(milk, water or juice such as tomato) to l% total pounds ground meat.
Roasts-carefree microwavemany roasts. Veryspecific instructions are included in Cookbook.

For best results, use shiny aluminum utensils, with dull finish on bottom. To RAISE YEAST DOUGHS, cov
with cloth and place in your well insulated oven to keep awaYfrom drafts. Yeast doughs raise best at 85° tZl%h%
oven lamp should be off during rising. FRUIT CAKES: place large ones on lower sheif position; place srnaii or loaf
pan type on shelf in center of oven.
To brown meringue oniY, use 400, 8-10 rein; to cook meringue through, use lower temperatures for times given.
NOTE: When two shelf positions are listed, the first one gives well brownedand cooked food. If you desire adifferent
browning, use the seqond shelf position the next time YOU cook. Foods listed with three sheif positions cook suc-
cessfully on any poshon listed, aione or in an oven mea .—.— .

Broiling is cooking foodsby intense mdi-
ant heat fromthe upper unit in the oven.
Most fishand tender cuts of meat can be
broiled.Followthese steps to keep spat-
tering and smokingto aminimum.
1. If meat hasfat orgristlenear edge,cut
vertical slashes through both about 2-in.
apart. If desiredfat maybe trimmed,leav-
ing alayer about ~s-in.thick.
2. Place meat on broiler rack in broiler
pan whichcomeswith range. Alwaysuse
rack so fat drips into broiler pan; other-
wise juices may become hot enough to
catch fire.Aluminumfoilmay be used to
line broiler pan and rack. But, be CER-
TAIN to cut openings in foil, to corre-
spond with rack so fat drips into pan
below.See note belowbefore marinating
and using barbecuesauce.
3. Letters on ovenwall,and chart below,
indicate where to position shelf for best
browningwhilecookinginside of food to
desired doneness. Placing food closer to
top ofovenincreasessmoking,spattering,

of fats on foodscatchingfire.
4. LEAVE 13001? AJAR about 3inches
—door stays open by itself, and keeps
heating unit at proper temperature for
broiling.
5. SWITCH OVEN SET and OVEN
TEMP CONTROLS TO BROIL. Pre-
heating unit is not nece~~sary.~~
6. Turn food only once during cooking.
Time foods for first side as on chart. Turn
food,then usetimes givenforsecondside
as aguide to preferred doneness.(Where
two thicknesses and times are given to
gether, use first times given for thinnest
food.)
7. Turn ovenoff,servefoodimmediately,

for easiest cleaning.
Cookingtimes givenare approximateand
should be used only as aguide; they are
basedon meat at refrigeratortemperature
whenplacedin oven.
Ml$lfl’1’~:If your range is being operated on low power (voltage), broiled foods may be
lighterbrownthan expected,eventhoughdirectionshavebeencarefullyfollowed.
Browningcan be improvedas follows:
1. Followdirectionsgivenon this page for setting up the oven, preparing food,
setting controlsand leavingdoorajar.
2. Preheat the broilunit fo~10minuteswithfoodand broilerpan outsidethe oven,
3. Place foodin oven,leavedoorajar and time first sideof foodas directed.Turn
