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.

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.

ABOUT SAFETY

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

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.

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.
