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.

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 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.

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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

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

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

PRECAUTIONS

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Place the front surface of the door three inches or

more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.

• To program the oven, make sure you touch the center

of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Don’t touch several pads
at once.

• Do not strike the control panel with silverware, uten-

sils, etc. Breakage may occur.

• Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils

out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide
earlier in this section for more information.

• Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in

water immediately after cooking. This may cause
breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool
before removing it from the oven.

• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or

water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.

• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.

They may catch fire.

• Use thermometers that have been approved for

microwave oven cooking.

• The turntable must always be in place when you

operate the oven.

• Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the

shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing
it to burst.

• There are several precautions to follow when

microwaving popcorn:
— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe

container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.

— Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not

microwave-approved.
— Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
— Do not repop unpopped kernels.
— Do not reuse popcorn bags.
— Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping

slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping

corn.
— Follow directions on bag.

NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to pre­vent an accidental oven start.

INTERIOR

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 rotating ring 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 rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.

DOOR

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. Also make sure that
the turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

AUTO DEFROST

The AUTO DEFROST feature is an
accurate defrosting method for frozen
ground meat poultry fish up to 6.0 lbs or

4.0 kg.

The oven automatically determines
required defrosting times for each food
item according to the weight you enter.

Simply tell the oven the type of your
frozen food and enter the food weight.
The oven calculates the rest.

For added convenience, the AUTO
DEFROST Feature contains a built-in
beep mechanism that lets you check,
turn over, separate or rearrange as
recommended in the express defrost
chart in the last .

Three different defrosting levels are
provided:

1 MEAT
2 POULTRY
3 FISH

EXAMPLE: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.

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, 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.

HEATING OR REHEATING GUIDE

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of
food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed
in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap
and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following table as a guide for reheating
cooked food.

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 microwave oven 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 microwave oven be damaged if
food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into wall outlet
for the first time, it might 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?

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

• Set a cooking time?

• Touched START?

• Checked the light bulb?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven
has been designed to vent this steam.

Yes. Never operate the oven 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.

Question

Answer

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

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

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.

Questions and Answers (continued)

Food

Question

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?

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.

• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to
2-3 seconds between pops.

• Do not leave microwave unattended while popping corn.

• Follow directions on bag.

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.
