INFORMATION
YOU
NEED
TO KNOW
ABOUT
YOUR MICROWAVE
OVEN
This Installation/Use
and Care Manual
is valuable:
read it carefully
and always
save it for reference,
A good microwave
cookbook
is a valuable
asset. Check it for microwave
cook-
ing principles,
techniques,
hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave
oven without
the turntable
and support
nor turn
the turntable
over so that a large dish could be placed
in the microwave
oven.
The turntable
will turn both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS
have food
in the microwave
oven when it is on to absorb
the micro-
wave energy.
When
using the oven at power
levels below
100%, you may hear the magne-
tron cycling
on and off.
Condensation
is a normal
part of microwave
cooking.
Room
humidity
and
the moisture
in food 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.
After
using convection,
automatic
mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the
cooling
fan. The fan may continue
to operate
as long as 5 minutes,
depending
on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only
ovens, convection
microwave
ovens have
a tendency
to become
hot during convection,
automatic
mix and broil cooking.
The oven
is for food
preparation
only. It should
not be used to dry clothes
or
newspapers.
Your microwave
output
is rated
900 watts
using the lEG Test Procedure.
In
using recipes
or package
directions,
check food
at the minimum
time and add
time accordingly.
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 12, the supervising
person
should
be in the same room.
The child
must be able to reach the microwave
oven comfortably;
if not, he/
she should
stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.
Children
should
be taught
all safety precautions:
use potholders,
remove
cov-
erings
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 he/she
can
cook everything,
Children
need to learn that the microwave
oven is not a toy. See page 33 for
