use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a

3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot recepta-

cle 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. Ashort 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 is exercised

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.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE WITH SMART WAVE TECHNOLOGY WORKS

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to

operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food.

Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic

energy that travel at the speed of light (186,282 miles

per second). Microwaves used in microwave ovens are

in the same family of frequencies as the signals used

in radio and television broadcasting.

In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used

wave frequency is roughly 2,450 megahertz (2.45 giga-

hertz). Waves in this frequency range have an interest-

ing property: they are absorbed by water, fats and sug-

ars. When they are absorbed they are converted

directly into atomic motion-heat. Microwaves in this fre-

quency range have another interesting property: they

are not absorbed by most plastics, glass or ceramics.

Metal reflects microwaves, which is why metal pans do

not work well in a microwave oven.

One of the most important components used in the

microwave oven is the Magnetron. Amagnetron, in the

microwave oven is reponsible for the production of

microwaves. These microwaves produced by the mag-

netron, move into the oven and come in contact with

the food placed on the glass turntable.

Further, the glass turntable iniside the oven lets the

microwaves pass through.These microwaves further

bounce off a metal floor and travel back through the

glass turn table and are finally absorbed by the food,

placed inside the oven .

One of the characterstic features of microwaves is that

they can pass through most glass, papers and plastics

without heating them and they further get absorbed by

the food in the form of heat energy. The microwaves

bounce off the metal container and so the metal con-

tainer does not absorb its energy.

SMART WAVE

INVERTER MICROWAVE SYSTEM

SMART WAVE

Inverter Microwave System gives you

better microwave cooking performance for defrosting,

cooking and reheating foods quickly and uniformly. The

SMART WAVE

Inverter Microwave System is proven

technology that delivers a constant stream of

microwave power - true high, medium and low power.

Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH

power only. To achieve 70% power level in a conven-

tional microwave oven, the oven operates 70% of the

time at HIGH power and 70% of the time OFF.

The SMART WAVE

Inverter Microwave System deliv-

ers power continuously, to defrost more evenly and

minimize overcooking of food and messy food spatters.

SENSOR COOKING

The SMART WAVE

Inverter Microwave System fea-

tures Sensor Cooking functions. Ahumidity sensor in

the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emmit-

ted from food as it gets heated.

The sensor adjusts cooking time according to various

types and amounts of food.Sensor cooking takes the

guesswork out of microwave cooking.

FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

• Keep a check on the cooking of food.

• In order to make sure that the food is evenly cooked,

stir, turn, or rearrange the food around halfway during

the cooking time.

• Plastic wrap 1/4 to 1/2 inches ( 6.35 to 12.7 mm),

inorder to vent steam during heating or 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.

• 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.

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.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING

BROWNING

Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at least

10 to 15 minutes 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 will trap heat and steam and cause 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; always 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.

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

Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently

for doneness.

STANDING TIME

Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after

being removed 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

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 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.
