MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (SUITE)

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food.

If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

•Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container, not more than 1⁄4 in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

•Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.

•Use only undamaged containers.

•Do not use containers taller than 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm).

•Container must be at least half filled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in.

(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

•Always place the container on the turntable.

•Reheating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

•Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

•Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

•Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use only mild, non- abrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well with clean water. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup (250 mL) of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil a cup (250 mL) of water with lemon juice or vinegar.

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher-safe.
