COOKING (cont’d)

SETTING “REHEAT”: This setting lets you reheat a dinner plateful of chilled leftovers with good results. Its automatic program has been designed to tolerate a large variety of food combinations when arranged together.

Remember some of the following tips when preparing foods to reheat on the REHEAT setting. How you arrange foods on the plate affects how evenly they cook. Consider the amount and density of each food. DENSE FOODS SUCH AS MEATS (large or bulky pieces or thick slices of precooked meats) AND COMPACT VEGETABLE such as mashed potatoes or potatoes au gratin should be placed around edges of plate and spread out as much as possible to expose them to microwave energy.

LARGE AMOUNT OF FOODS should be spread out to receive more microwave energy than smaller amounts. Covering dry meat slices with sauce or gravy also helps speed their heating. LIGHT, AIRY FOODS such as rice, small pieces of vegetables, delicate seafood, small chicken nuggets, or small amounts of food absorb microwaves quickly. Place these in the center of the plate where they will be somewhat shielded by foods on the outside edges.

TEMPERATURE OF FOODS determine how evenly they cook together. A can of freshly opened vegetables (food is at room temperature) will probably heat more quickly than foods which are started from the refrigerator.

DELICATE DINNER ROLLS, if desired, should be added only the last few seconds. COVER plate with wax paper to hold steam around most foods.

EXCEPTION: Do not cover to warm rare meats and foods with crisp exteriors.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1)Turn off the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.

2)Keep the inside of the oven clean.When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven walls,wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

3)The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.

4)Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters.

5)Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth.When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.

6)If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions; this is normal.

7)It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.

8)The roller ring and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The roller ring may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the roller ring from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.

9)Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a deep bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

10)When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it replaced.

11)When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that comes together on closing the door, use only mild, non abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
