PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

• Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open, since open-door operation can

result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.

•Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door,or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing
surfaces.

•Do not operate the oven if it is damaged.

It is particularly important that the oven door
close properly and that there is no damage to
the:

- door (bent),

- hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

- door seals and sealing surfaces.

•The oven should not be adjusted or

repaired by anyone except properly qualified
service personnel.

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.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.

15. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, nonabrasive

soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are

placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, KEEP OVEN DOOR CLOSED, turn oven off, and disconnect the power

cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in

the cavity when not in use.

17. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to
be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CON-
TAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce
the risk of injury to persons; 1) Do not overheat the liquid. 2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it. 3) Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. 4) After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. 5) Use extreme care when
inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

18. Avoid heating small-necked containers such as syrup bottles.

19. Avoid using corrosive and vapors, such as sulfide and chloride.

20. Liquids heated in certain shaped containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers) may become overheat-

ed. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (instant
coffee, etc.), resulting in harm to the oven and possible injury. In all containers, for best results, stir the liquid
several times before heating. Always stir liquid several times between reheatings.

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.
