SOME DO'S, DON'T&
AND HINTS
DO:
l
Plug the microwave
oven into a separate 15 ampere circuit. Use only
an electrically
grounded
3-pronged
wall outlet.
l
Remove metal ties from plastic bags before placing them in the oven
to avoid
arcing
and possible
oven damage.
Check
carryout
food
containers
for metal before reheating
foods in them.
l
Use your microwave
oven only for cooking,
reheating
and defrosting.
l
Slice whole
eggs before reheating
to avoid a steam buildup
and
possible bursting.
l
For cooking
times
longer
than four minutes,
avoid
using
paper
containers
and be careful of the plastics you use. (Some plastics may
get hot and melt.)
l
Follow recipe instructions
to stir, turn or add foods between cooking
cycles to avoid possible damage to the utensil or oven.
DON'TS:
l
Your microwave
oven uses 1450 watts at full power. It can't share an
outlet with another operating
appliance.
l
Be careful that food or utensils do not push against the plastic mode
mixer cover. Don't remove the cover.
l
Harsh abrasives may scratch the oven finish.
l
Don't use dishes
or utensils
with metal trim, staples,
closures
or
liners.
Metals should not be used in the oven unless especially
directed
in the
MICRO MENUS* Cookbook.
l
Always have food in the microwave
oven before operating
it to avoid
possible damage to the oven.
l
Store nothing
in the microwave
oven.
l
Scorched
or burned foods are overcooked.
Continued
cooking
can
only burn them further
and may cause them to flame..
especially
potatoes, corn-on-thecob,
and snacks.
l
Do not hold START button in after oven is started or try to operate oven
by continuously
pressing the START button.
HINTS:
1. Most of the oven's weight is on one side (the side with the controls)
and it may be awkward to move.
2. INDICATORS
may flicker
when the microwave
oven is on. This is
normal.
3. If your line voltage is low (less than 120 volts), heating and cooking
times may have to be longer.
4. When using
recipes
other than those from the MICRO
MENUS*
Cookbook,
you may have to experiment
with cooking
times and power
level settings.
Cook foods according
to the times and quantities
given
in the Whirlpool
cookbook.
As in conventional
cooking,
over-cooking
can burn food and it may flame. Shorten
cooking
time for smaller
quantities.
