Getting Started
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good
microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
Accessories
There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate
carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Vi-
king is not responsible for any damage to the Built-in Microwave Hood
when accessories are used.
Child Safety
• Children below the age of 7 should use the Built-in Microwave
Hood with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same
room. The child must be able to reach the Built-in Microwave Hood
comfortably.
• At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the Built-in
Microwave Hood.
• Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders,
remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that
crisp food because they may be extra hot.
• Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill
he/she can cook everything.
• Children need to learn that the Built-in Microwave Hood is not a toy.
See page 28 for Child Lock feature.
Food Safety
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated
and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a
lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of meat
or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are
cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
