SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric cur-
rent. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and ground-
ed.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the ground-
ing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the microwave oven is
properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
microwave oven.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding ter-
minal or lead on the microwave oven.
Electrical requirements
Observe all governing codes and
ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,
15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is
required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not remove ground
prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
USE
Ovenproof Glass
•Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat includes util-
ity dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid
measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls without metal-
lic trim.
China
•Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metal-
lic trim can be used in your oven.
Plastic
•When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure that
the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does not
touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the plas-
tic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.
•Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish and
secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of the dish.
•Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic wrap. This
will allow excess steam to escape.
•Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers, and plastic bags only for short time
cooking. Use these with care because the plas-
tic may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper
•Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or
design can be used in your oven.
•Refer to the manufacturer’s label for use of any paper
product in the microwave oven.
DO NOT USE
Metal Utensils
•Metal shields food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers, ther-
mometers, or foil trays.
•Metal utensils can cause arcing, which is a
discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage your
microwave oven.
Metal Decoration
•Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura™ Tableware
•The Corning Company recommends that you do not
use Centura tableware and some Corelle™ closed-
handle cups for microwave cooking.
Aluminum Foil
•Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hin-
der cooking and may cause arcing.
•Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and
wings.
•Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls
and door of the oven.
Wood
•Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and
may split or crack when you use them in the
microwave oven.
Tightly Closed Containers
•Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure to leave
an opening for steam to escape from covered cook-
ware.
Brown Paper
•Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and
could burn.
Metal Twist Ties
•Always remove metal twist ties as they can become hot
and cause a fire.
COOKWARE GUIDE
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before
using, follow these steps:
1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content will brown lightly
when cooked for 10 or 15 minutes or longer. Foods
cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning
agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or
barbecue sauce.
COVERING
A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When warming bread items, use waxed
paper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This will help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Always stir from the outside toward the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, should
be turned during cooking so that the top and bottom cook
evenly. Also turn over chicken pieces and chops.
ARRANGEMENT
Do not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dish
for more even cooking. Because dense foods cook
more slowly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish,
and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you
need to test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
cooking inside as well as outside the oven. Usually, you
need to cover food during standing time to retain heat.
Stop the cooking when they are slightly undercooked and
they will finish cooking during standing time. The internal
temperature of food will rise about 10 °F during standing
time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of food in rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, you may need to cover the dish
with small strips of aluminum foil to block the
microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and
wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.
Always keep foil at least 1 inch from oven walls
to prevent arcing.
PIERCING
Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods before
cooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables such as
potatoes and squash.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done weekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Excessive oil
splatters on the inside top will be difficult to remove if left
for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet paper towel,
especially after cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.
They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water
with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are
clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned in the sink. Be careful not
to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the
turntable to break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR
to clear any entries that might have been entered
accidentally while cleaning the panel.

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.
The oven automatically determines required cooking time
for each food item. The display will indicate SENSING
during the initial sensing period. When the internal sen-
sor detects a certain amount of humidity coming from
the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to heat.
The display will show the remaining heating time. For
best results for cooking by Sensor, following these rec-
ommendations:
SENSOR OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
1.
Glass TURNTABLE and outside of container
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
2.
Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.
3.
Do not open the door or touch the Stop/Clear pad
during the sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window. At
this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or
rearrange the food.
4.
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
1.
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
2.
Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill
containers at least half full for best results.
3.
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART
To enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify
pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food
package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the fol-
lowing chart to convert the weight to decimals.
DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is
the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the
weight of the food minus the container).
• Use Auto Defrost only for raw food. Auto Defrost gives
best results when food to be thawed is a
minimum of 0°F (taken directly from a freezer). If food
has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not
maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always pro-
gram a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time)
to prevent cooking the food.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20
minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than
a deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield
foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the
foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil
causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
See page 6.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to cook too fast.
• For better results, a preset standing time is included in
the defrosting time.
• For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a
microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the
possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during
defrost.

To get the best results from your microwave oven, read
and follow the guidelines below.
• Storage Temperature: Foods taken from the freezer
or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods
at room temperature. The times in this book are based
on the normal storage temperature of the food.
• Size: Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones:
pieces similar in size and shape cook more evenly. For
even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large
pieces of food.
• Natural Moisture: Very moist foods cook more evenly
because microwave energy is attracted to water
molecules.
• Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the
outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and
speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary, occa-
sional stirring is sufficient.
• Turn over foods like pork chops, whole potatoes,
roasts, or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking
time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.
• Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips,
toward the center of the dish.
• Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken
pieces or salmon steaks, with the thicker, meatier parts
toward the outside of the dish.
• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as
wing tips and leg ends of poultry with small pieces of
aluminum foil.
• Let Stand: After you remove the food from the
microwave, cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it
stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcook-
ing the outer edges. The length of standing time
depends on the density and surface area of the food.
• Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel:
Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked
bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to pre-
vent drying out.

Let stand covered 2 minutes. If you are cooking
more than 1 lb. of fish, turn the fish halfway through
cooking.
Arrange in a single layer. Prepare as directed above,
except stir instead of turning the shellfish.
Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions
• Prepare the fish for cooking:
- Completely defrost the fish or shellfish.
- Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts
toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a
single layer for even cooking.
- The type of cover you use depends on how you cook.
Poached fish needs a microwavable lid or vented
plastic wrap. Baked fish, coated fish, or fish in sauce
needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep
the coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.
- Always set the shortest cooking time. Fish is done
when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to
flake. Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to
red and the flesh is opaque and firm.
• The Fish and Shellfish Cooking Table below provides
specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time
settings for most types of fish and shellfish.

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques
• Crisp crackers, such as melba toast, shredded wheat,
and crisp rye crackers are best for microwave use. Wait
until party time to add the spreads. Place a paper towel
under the crackers while they cook in the microwave
oven to absorb extra moisture.
• Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even cooking.
• Stir dips to distribute heat and shorten cooking time.
Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques
• Use a microwavable casserole or glass measuring cup
that is at least 2 or 3 times the volume of the sauce.
• Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly than
those made with flour.
Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques
• Cook soups in a microwavable dish which holds double
the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent boil-over,
especially if you use cream or milk in the soup.
• Generally, cover microwaved soups with VENTED plastic
wrap or a microwavable lid.
• Cover foods to retain moisture.
Uncover foods to retain crispness.
• Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested
time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking
the food.
Not Recommended
• Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best
done in a conventional oven with dry heat.
• Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave
oven but will not come out crisp.
• Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered
so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a
smooth consistency.
• To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce
the amount of liquid slightly.
• Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors, distribute
heat evenly, and may even shorten the cooking time.
• When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook in
the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong
seasonings.
Cooking Meat: General Directions
• Prepare the meat for cooking:
- Defrost completely.
- Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering.
- Place the meat, fat side down, on a microwavable rack
in a microwavable dish.
- Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat.
- Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward
the outside of the dish.
- Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent
splattering.
• Tend the meat as it cooks.
- Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce splattering
and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat.
- Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent
overcooking.
MEAT
NOTE:
Keep the foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls, and do
not cover more than one-third of the meat with foil at any
one time.
• Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after
you remove it from the oven. The internal temperature of
the meat may rise from 5-10°F during standing time.
The Meat Cooking Table on page 25 provides detailed
directions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for
most cuts of meat.

Cooking Poultry: General Directions
• Prepare the poultry for cooking:
- Defrost completely.
- Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the
outside edge of the baking dish. When cooking legs,
arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.
- Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce
splattering.
- Use a browning agent (such as worcestershire sauce)
or cook with a sauce to give a browned appearance.
•Watch the poultry as it cooks.
- Drain and discard juices as they accumulate.
- Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of aluminum
foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at least 1 inch
from the oven walls and other pieces of foil.
• Poultry is done when it is no longer pink and the juices
run clear. When done, the temperature in the thigh meat
should be 180-185°F.
• Let the poultry stand after cooking covered with foil for
10 minutes.
The Poultry Cooking Table below provides detailed direc-
tions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most
cuts and types of poultry.

PASTA AND RICE
Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta,
rice, and cereal require about the same amount of time,
but the microwave is a more convenient method because
you can cook and serve in the same dish. There is no stir-
ring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh
cooked when reheated in the microwave oven.
Cooking Pasta and Rice: Tips and Techniques
• If you are planning to use rice or pasta in a casserole,
undercook it so it is still firm.
• Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta.
• The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide spe-
cific directions, with Power Level and cooking time set-
tings for most common types of pasta and rice.

CARE AND CLEANING
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or
grease build-up. Never use rough powder or pads.
Wipe the microwave oven inside and out, including the
hood bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot)
mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and alu-
minum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a wet
paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or bacon.
Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.
CLEANING THE GREASE FILTER
METAL RACK

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so
that I may reheat or cook in two rack posi-
tions at a time?
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in
my microwave oven?
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
What are the humming noises I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it?
What does standing time mean?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.
Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or
arcing and may damage your oven. Do not use the rack when sensor
cooking.
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. See page 6.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your
oven.
This is the sound the transformer makes when the magnetron tube
cycles on and off.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.
Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Dish also may not be microwave safe. See page 6.
Standing time means that food should be taken out of the oven and
covered for additional time after cooking. This process allows the
cooking to finish, saves energy, and frees the oven for other purposes.
In some dishes, the food temperature will coutinue to rise during this
time.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s
guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. See page 15.
Do not use regular paper bags with unpopped corn - - use only pre-
packaged, Microwavable Popcorn. Use the listening test by stopping
the oven as soon as the popping slows to a pop every one or two sec-
onds. Do not try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special
microwave poppers: When using a popper, be sure to follow manufac-
turer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top
vent.
