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 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,

• Refer to the paper manufacturer's label for use of

any paper product in the microwave oven.

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 rnicrowave oven,

Metal Decoration

• Do not use metal-trirnmed or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.

Centura TM Tableware

• The Coming Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle TM

closed-handle cups for microwave
cooking,

Aluminum Foil

• Do not use large sheets of alurninum foil because
they hinder cooking and may cause arcing, You may

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

• Do not use brown paper bags. They absorb
heat and could burn.

Metal Twist-Ties

• Always remove metal twist-ties as they can becorne
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 will brown lightly. Foods

cooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browning
agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, er

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 ene 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 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.

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 ef the dish.

TESTING FOR DONENESS

Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, yeu
need to test frequently for doneness.

STANDING TIME IN OVEN

Depending on density, food often needs to stand from

2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of oven after
cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually

need to 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 ef food will rise about 10°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 evercoeking.
Always keep foil at least f 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.

• 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 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.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack-

age (wrapper). 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, 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.

COOKING TIPS

Meat

1. No special techniques are required. Meat should be

prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before
cooking.

2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.

3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).
Use the longer time for large cuts of meats and the

shorter time for small cuts of meats. For thicker
chops, use the longer time.

4. Turn the meat over once halfway through the
cooking time.

5. Wrap in foil and let stand for 5~10 minutes after
cooking. The standing time is very important as it
completes the cooking process.

6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly
cooked before eating.

NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow

for difference in individual tastes and

preferences. The times may also vary due to
the shape, cut, and composition of the food.

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 food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.

6. Remove from oven, wrap in foil, and let stand for
5~10 minutes before carving. The standing time is
very important, since 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.

composition of the food.

• If whole poultry is stuffed, the weight of the stuffed
bird should be used when calculating the cooking

time.

TIPS FOR TOASTER

IMPORTANT
Before using the toaster for the first time, set the

Darkness Control at medium and operate the toaster
without bread in order to burn off residues on the heating

elements, You will notice an odor that is characteristic of
new heating elements, This is normal and will soon

disappear,

MAINTANANCE

This toaster requires little maintenance, It contains no
user-serviceable parts inside the housing, Do not
remove the cover, Contact Sears Service, if the product
requires servicing.

CLEANING THE TOASTER

Always unplug the Toast N Wave and allow the toaster
to cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior : Wipe surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth.

Never use abrasive cleaners, as they may

scratch the surface.

Interior : If food jams in the slots, disconnect Toast N

Wave plug from wall outlet and wait until
cooled completely. Remove food with wooden
tongs. Do not use fork or other sharp, metal

object to clean inside of the toaster, or to

remove toast, as it may damage heating

elements.

Crumb Tray :After allowing the toaster to cool down

and closing the door, gently slide out the
crumb tray. Brush crumbs off the tray
and, if necessary, wipe it with a clean,

damp cloth, Always dry the tray
thoroughly. When sliding the crumb tray

COOKING TIPS

/,,\WARNING

Never place any non-food object in the toaster for any reason!

• DO NOT toast pastries with runny fillings or frosting.

• DO NOT toast torn slices of bread or broken pastries.

• DO NOT place buttered bread, wrapped food, or frozen pastries in the toaster.

• DO NOT use this toaster to toast or warm small-size bread slices. These include "melba" size breads, slices
of mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.

• DO NOT toast oversized bagel. Because thick bagel's surface may become closer to the heater, this may
cause overdone surface and smoke.

NOTE: Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different darkness settings.

For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and so should be toasted to

your taste at a lighter setting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Make sure the crumb tray is pushed all the way in place before plugging toaster into wall outlet.

• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into toasting slots. Place bread into slots and close the
door. Then select either the Toast or Bagel mode. The default setting is 5. Press the "lighter" or "darker" pad to
adjust setting to individual taste. When you press the Start button, the heating element will turn on.

• If you are only using one toasting slot, uneven browning may occur. If you
operate toaster several times using one slot continuously, the toaster's internal
temperature will be hot and may cause "Hot" to appear in the display. This will go
away after several minutes after the toaster cools down.

• Do not adjust the Darkness Control while the toaster is in use. To interrupt the
toasting cycle, press the "stop/clear" control button.

• During the toasting cycle, the indicator light will be illuminated. If you open the
door, toasting will stop and the light will blink. The toasting cycle can be resumed

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.
