ABOUT COOKING WITH HEAT
• The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and
dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use
thick oven gloves when removing the food or turn-
table from the oven.
• When preheating, the turntable can be left in or re-
moved. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking
in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turn-
table for preheat. Place high rack on turntable along
with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door
and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
T E M P
160°F
... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and carry-
out "fresh" food.
170°F
... white meat of poultry.
180°F
... dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless using a microwave thermometer when cooking
with only microwave power.
F O O D
• Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks
food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many items. Choose pans that are smooth and that
do not have extended handles.
• Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled ap-
pearance to steaks and hot dogs.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing any items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch
away from walls, ceiling and door.
