,i__ADAPTERPLUGS
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential sati_w ha/m'ds under certain conditions,
we stronglyrecommend against the use ofan adapter plug. Howevex;
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTIONmay be inade to a propedy grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the tlse of a UI, listed adapter which
is a\;filable at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to pro_ide proper polari b in the connection
of the power cord.

Defrosting Tips
• Foods fl'ozen in paper or plastic can be
defl'osted in the package. Closed packages

• Foods that spoil easily should not be
alh)wed to sit ()tit fi)r x/loI'e than one l/()tlX"

promotes tile gr(m_h of ham/tiff bacteria.
• For more even defl'osfing of linger toods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
lmge meats are completely defl'osted

Cookwaretips.
ConvectionCooking
Metal Pans are re('mmnended for all types ot baked products, but especially where
browning or c_ usting is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best t0r breads and pies because they absorb heat
and produce crisper c_ust.
Shiny almnimm/ pans are better fl)r cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans
reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.
Glass or Glass-Ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited fi)r egg and cheese
recipes due to the cleanability of glass.
CombinationCooking
Glass or Glass-Ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use
items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf,
damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistm_t Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not
recommended for ti)ocls requiring cresting or all-arotmd browning, because the
plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Venting
Definition
Ardng is the microwm'e tem_ tbr sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:
[] the metal shelf being installed incorrectly and touching the microwm'e walls.
[] metal or toil touching the side of the oven.
[] fifil that is not molded to tbod (upturned edges act like antennas).
[] metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins, gold-rimmed dishes.
[] recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces.
Co\'els hold in moisture, allow fiw more e\vn heating and reduce cooking time. Venting plastic wrap o1"
co,wing with wax paper allows excess steam to escape.
In a reoflar o\vn, you shield chicken breasts or baked fi)ods to pre\vnt o\ eiqm)wning. \\]_en microwm'ing,
you use small strips of tbil to shield thin parts, such as the tips of wings and legs on poultry, which would
cook befiwe larger parts.
\_]_en you cook with regular o\vns, fl_ods such as roasts o1" cakes are allowed to stzmd to finish cooldng or
