IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOOD PACKAGING AND STORAGE SAFETY INFORMATION
•
Always wash your hands carefully with soap and water before and after handling food.
•
Keep all work surfaces and utensils clean and disinfected before and after packaging
foods.
•
Temperature, moisture, acidity, and salt or sugar content of foods can influence the growth
of potentially harmful microorganisms in food.
•
For safety, vacuum-sealed fresh (perishable) foods should be kept in the "safe zones":
cooled to 40°F/4°C or below or heated to 130°F/55°C or above.
•
Vacuum-sealed pouches of cooked foods can be quick chilled by submerging them in ice
water (half ice/half water) for 30 to 60 minutes and then refrigerated for up to 48 hours or
frozen for up to a year.
USING STEAM FUNCTION
CAUTION
•
Hot steam may cause scalding.
•
Don’t open the door and don't touch the vent holes while steam function is working.
•
Use care when opening the door. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns
to hands, face and eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before opening the
door.
•
Steam may condense on the inside of the door. Do not wipe condensation off until the
door has cooled.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
•
Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy. Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the
same cooking temperature together in one oven.
•
For optimal performance and energy savings, follow the guides on page 61 for proper rack
and pan placements.
•
Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when
heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart
pot.
•
Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using
a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the
element is a burn or fire hazard.
•
Reduce energy use by cleaning light oven soils with the SpeedClean™ feature instead of
self-clean.
•
Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven
maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.
