GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded! If an electrical short circuit occurs, 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 with a grounding plug.

Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician or the Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone’s tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that:

NOTE: This oven draws 11.5 amperes at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.

• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as the appliance.

• The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

• The electrical cord is dry and not pinched or crushed in any way.

INSTALLATION

A. Circuits

For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

B. Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

C. Placement of the Oven

Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart at least 100cm (39.4 inches) from floor. Do not place oven above a gas range. Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for proper ventilation.

NOTES:

• Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.

D. Do not block the air vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

E. Radio interference

1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV

or radio reception.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the

oven. b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or TV. c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the

TV or radio. d. Move the microwave oven away from the

receiver. e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet

so that microwave oven and receiver are on

different branch circuits.

USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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 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.

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 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 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.

CLEANING THE MICROWAVE

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.

• 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.

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 once halfway through the cooking time.

5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil 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.

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 during roasting helps to cook these areas evenly.

6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after cooking before carving. The standing time is very important, as 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.

USING YOUR TOASTER

TIPS FOR TOASTER

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 into place, be sure you feel and hear it snap into position.

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 qualified Service, if the product requires servicing.

COOKING TIPS

WARNING

Never place any 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 of 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 will be toasted to your taste at a lighter setting.

USING YOUR TOASTER

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

• 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 one mode (Toast/Bagel) and press the Darkness Control to the desired setting (experiment to suit individual taste). When you press the Start button, the heating element will turn on.

• Centering guides will automatically center the food for even browning. However, uneven browning may occur if you are only using one toasting slot. 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 wil be illuminated. If you open the door, toasting will stop and the light will blink. The toasting cycle can be resumed by closing the toaster door and pressing the start button.

• When the beep sounds, take out food carefully not to touch toaster’s hot surface.

NOTE: After use of toaster, fan will run for 1 minute to cool.

Questions and Answers

Operation

Question

Why is the oven light not on during cooking?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Will the Toast N Wave be damaged if it operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?

Can my Toast N Wave be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What is wrong?

Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating?

Why does a fan sound for some time after toasting?

What does "HOT" code on the display mean?

What does "F-1" and "F-2" code on the display mean?

There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you:

• Set a cooking time?

• Touched START? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven

has been designed to vent this steam. Yes. Never operate the oven and toaster empty or without the glass

turntable. No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.

The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking.

The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.

This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

The fan blowing cools the toaster heater for about 1 minute after toasting. This is normal.

That means internal temperature is irregularly high. Check you operated toaster without bread. At this time, fan blows for about 3 minutes to cool down the toaster. After cooling stops, you can operate toaster again.

CAUTION: Do not operate toaster without bread.

That means failure mode. Contact the nearest Authorized Service Center.

Questions and Answers (continued)

Food

Question

What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven?

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?

Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.

When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.

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.

Yes, if using one of the two methods described below: (1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave

cooking

(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made

for specific times and power output needed

Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking. Overcooking could result in an oven fire. CAUTION:

• Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to pop leftover kernels.

• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating of the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.

The peel has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking. As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process.

If the cooking time is too long, fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm.

CAUTION: Do not overcook.

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.

As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature.
