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 DO NOT 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 wilt 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. Refer to the manufacturer's label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven.
Metal Utensil
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 TM Tableware
The Coming Company recommends that you do not use
Centura tableware and some Coretle TM 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 that are cooked for
10 or 15 minutes or longer wilt brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce.
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.
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 wilt 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.
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.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to
test frequently for doneness.
STANDING TiME
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2 to 15
minutes after you remove it from the oven. Usually, you need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly undercooked and they wilt finish cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of food
wilt rise about 1 0°F during standing time.
SHiELDiNG To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dishes from
overcooking, you may need to shield them 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 over cooking. Always keep foii at least ] inch from oven wails to prevent arcingwhJch is a discharge of electric current that
can damage the oven.
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.
GLASS TURNTABLE
* The 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 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.

NOTE: TURN FOOD OVER will appear in display in middle
of cycle and beep.
NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes to defrost time countdown. The oven wilt beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the
food. Remove any portions that have thawed.
Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.
OPERATING TIPS
* For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap wilt hold steam and juice close to the
foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
* For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of
a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
* 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. This table shows you food type selections and the weights you
can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Custom Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food package is in fractions of apound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.
Equivalent Weight
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT
1.6 .10
3.2 .20
4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound
4.8 .30
6.4 .40
8.0 .50 One-Half Pound
9.6 .60
11.2 .70
12.0 .75 Three-Quarters Pound 1 2.8 .80
1 4.4 .90 1 6.0 1.00 One Pound
NOTE:
If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for the best defrosting results.
