IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
•
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
– If materials inside the oven ignite, KEEP OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off, and
disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking
utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
•
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling
point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container
is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT
IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons; 1) Do not overheat the liquid. 2) Stir the liquid
both before and halfway through heating it. 3) Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. 4) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a
short time before removing the container. 5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon
or other utensil into the container.
•
Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.
•
Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.
•
Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers)
may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (instant coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven
and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid several times before
heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

OPERATION
Cookware Guide
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe
for use in your the 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.
Use
Ovenproof Glass
•
Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat includes
utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates,
liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowls
without metallic trim.
China
•
Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without
metallic trim can be used in your the 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 plastic 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 cooking
times. Use these with care because the plastic
may soften from the heat of the food.
Paper
•
Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, parch-
ment 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 Cookware or Utensils
•
Metal shields food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers,
thermometers, or foil trays.
•
Metal cookware or utensils can cause arcing, which
is a discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage
the 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
hinder 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 used in the microwave
oven.
Tightly Closed Containers
•
Tightly closed cookware can explode. Be sure to
leave an opening for steam to escape from covered
cookware.
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.

OPERATION
Microwave Cooking Tips
Browning
Meat and poultry with high fat content that are cooked
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly.
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. Parchment paper
or waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in
the oven and help retain heat. When warming bread
items, use waxed paper, parchment 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 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,
test frequently for doneness.
Standing Time
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from
2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of the oven to finish
cooking after cooking power shuts off.
Shielding
Releasing Pressure in Foods
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.
Cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove
most foods 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.
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square
dishes from overcooking, shield them with small strips of
aluminum foil to block the microwaves. You may 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.
13
OPERATION
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 abrasive 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
abrasive cleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.
•
The glass turntable may be cleaned at 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 kept free of
food or grease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent;
then rinse and wipe dry. Never use abrasive 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.

Operating Tips:
•
For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package. Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and
juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer
surface of the foods to cook.
•
For best results, form ground meat into a donut shape
before freezing.
•
Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
•
Food should still be somewhat icy in the center
when removed from the oven.
Add ten seconds to the cooking time each time
you touch More. Subtract ten seconds each time
you touch Less.
This feature provides the best defrosting method
for frozen foods. The oven has three different
preset defrost sequences. For added convenience,
each sequence includes a built-in signal which
beeps to remind you to check, turn over, separate,
or rearrange food for best results. See the Auto
Defrost table for details.
When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the
beep sounds and continue defrosting.

NOTE
The times listed above are only a guide. Alter to

Poultry
1
No special techniques are required. Poultry
should be prepared as with conventional
cooking. Season if desired.
2
Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3
Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4
All poultry should be placed on a microwave
roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and
placed on the turntable.
5
Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway through
the cooking time. Because of its shape, poultry
has a tendency to cook unevenly, especially in
very bony parts. Turning during roasting helps to
cook these areas evenly.
6
Let stand for 5-10 minutes in oven after cooking
before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
7
Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before
eating. Whole poultry is completely cooked when
the juices run clear from the inside thigh when
it is pierced with a sharp knife. Poultry pieces
should be pierced with a sharp knife through the
thickest part to ensure that the juices are clear
and the flesh is firm.

Questions and Answers
Operation
Why is the oven light not on ?
There may be several reasons why the oven light is
not on. Have you:
•
Set a cooking time?
•
Touched START?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam.
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it is
operated while empty?
Yes. Never operate the oven while it is empty or
without the glass turntable.
Does microwave energy pass through the viewing
screen in the door?
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to
the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to
pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass
through.
Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control
panel is touched?
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is
cooked for too long?
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to
overcook food to the point that the food creates
smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the
inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the
oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling the oven may
temporarily become scrambled and fail to function
as programmed when you plug it in for the first time
or when power resumes after a power interruption.
Unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet
and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.
Why do I see light reflection around the outer
case?
This light is from the oven light which is located
between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the
oven.
What are the various sounds I hear when the
microwave oven is operating?
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch
turning the microwave oven’s magnetron ON and
OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in
power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and
OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower
speed is from the change in line voltage caused by
the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.
I have just plugged the oven into the wall
outlet for the first time and it does not work
properly. What is wrong?
25
TROUBLESHOOTING
Food
What is wrong when baked foods have hard,
dry, brown spots?
Hard, dry, brown spots indicate overcooking.
Shorten the cooking or reheating time.
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may
pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane.
To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden
toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION
Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry
after cooking?
Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if
the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time
may need to be varied for one of these reasons:
•
Eggs vary in size.
•
Eggs are at room temperature one time and at
refrigerator temperature another time.
•
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave
oven?
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically
for microwave cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that
is compatible with the power output of the oven
CAUTION
Never use a brown paper bag for popping
corn. Do not attempt to pop leftover kernels.
Why do baked apples sometimes burst during
cooking?
The peel has not been removed from the top half of
each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of
the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking
methods, the interior of the apple expands during the
cooking process.
Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during
cooking?
If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At
the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes
should be slightly firm.
CAUTION
Do not overcook.
Why is a standing time recommended after
microwave cooking time is over?
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking
evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave
oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time
depends upon the density of the foods.
Why is additional time required for cooking food
stored in the refrigerator?
As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of
food affects total cooking time. You need more time to
cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at
room temperature.
Carefully follow manufacturer's directions and do not
leave the oven unattended while popping corn. If
corn fails to pop within the manufacturer's suggested
time, discontinue cooking.
