GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance, or. . . .
2. 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 appliance.
NOTES:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care isexercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.

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 plasticwrap.
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 manufacturer’s label for use of any
paper product in the microwave oven.
DO NOT USE
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™ 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 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. 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 of the dish.
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 either in or outside of oven to finish
cooking after cooking power shuts off. Outside of oven,
you usually need to cover food during standing time to
retain heat.
undercooked
time.The
during
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 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.
• 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.
SPECIALCARE
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.
Remove most foods when they are slightly
and they will finish cooking during standing
internal temperature of food will rise about 10°F
standing time.
