COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE This section lists which utensils can be used in this microwave, which have limited use for short periods, and which should not be used in this microwave. RECOMMENDED Microwave browning dish -- Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. Microwaveable plastic wrap -- Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
COOKING TECHNIQUES Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these considerations in mind: STIRRING Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats quicker, so stir from the outside to the center. The microwave will turn off when you open the door to stir your food.
CLEANING AND CARE 1. Turn off the microwave and unplug the power cord from the wall when cleaning. 2. Keep the inside of the microwave clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to microwave walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the microwave gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak, or dull the door surface. 3. The outside of the microwave should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE Before asking for service, please check each item below: Check to ensure the microwave is plugged in securely.
