UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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.
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 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 time
cooking. Use these with care because the plastic 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.
DO NOT USE
Metal Utensils
• Metal shields food from microwave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal skewers, thermometers, 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 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 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 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.

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 OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
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 sensor 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 recommendations:
Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
1.
normal storage temperature.
Glass TURNTABLE and outside of container
2.
should be dry to assure best cooking results.
Foods should always be covered loosely with
3.
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.
Do not open the door or touch the Stop/Clear pad
4.
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.
ADDING OR SUBTRACTING
SENSOR COOK TIME
If the SENSOR function is too long or too short, you can
increase or decrease the cook time by 10 seconds after
choosing the function. You can only increase or decrease
cook time when sensor is displayed.
Example: If you want to add to the Sensor Cook

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good
Sensor cooking results.
Always use microwavable containers and cover
1.
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
2.
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.
Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill
3.
containers at least half full for best results.
Be sure the outside of the cooking container and
4.
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture
turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
POPCORN (SENSOR)
POPCORN lets you pop 3.0 and 3.5 ounce bags of
commercially packaged microwave popcorn. Pop only
one package at a time. If you are using a microwave
popcorn popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

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 following 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 program 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.
