Eneqgy-Saving Tips
●Use proper power levelas
recommended and DO N~
OVERCOOK.
QDo not operate the ovenwhile
empty. Ifb~ accident the oven
should run empty aminute or two,
noharm is done. However, try to
avoidoperating the oven empty at
alltimes—saves energy and also
ensuresgood, long-term life ofoven.
●Preheat the ovenonly when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
Ifyou find preheating is necessary,
keepan eye on the indicator light,
and put food in the ovenpromptly
after the light goes out.
●Alwaysturn oven OFF before
removing food.

door openings. Keep door open as
short atime as possible when it is
opened.
●For self-cleaning oven, be sure
to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
●Cook complete oven meals
instead ofjust one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables, and
some desserts will cook together
with amain-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature in approximately
the same time.
Microwaving Tips
QMake sure all cookware used in
your microwave oven is suitable for
microwaving. Most glass casseroles,
cooking dishes, measuring cups,
custard cups, pottery or china
dinnerware which does not have
metallic trim or glaze with ametallic
sheen can be used. Some cookware
islabeled “suitable for Microwaving?
If you are unsure, use this dish test:
Measure 1cup water in aglass cup.
Place in oven on or beside dish.
Microwave 1minute at HIGH. If
water becomes hot, dish ismicrowave
safe. If dish heats, it should not be
used for microwaving.
●Paper towels, wax paper, and
plastic wrap can be used to cover
dishes in order to retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
●Some microwaved foods require
stirring, rotating, or rearranging.
Check your cookbook for specific
instructions.
●Steam builds up pressure in foods
which are tightly covered by askin
or membrane. Pierce potatoes, egg
yolks and chicken livers to prevent
bursting.

whenever possible to finish
cooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.
