ENGLISH9UNDERSTANDING YOUR TOAST AND WAVEUSEOvenproof Glass• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heatincludes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cakeplates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and bowlswithout metallic trim.China• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters withoutmetallic trim can be used in your oven.Plastic• When using plastic wrap as a cover, make sure thatthe dish is deep enough so the plastic wrap does nottouch the food. As the food heats, it may melt theplastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food. • Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dishand secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides ofthe 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 timecooking. Use these with care because the plastic may soften from the heat of the food.Paper• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, papernapkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim ordesign can be used in your oven.• Refer to the manufacturer’s label for use of anypaper product in the microwave oven.DO NOT USEMetal 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 damageyour 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 wallsand door of the oven.Wood• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out andmay split or crack when you use them in themicrowave 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 becomehot and cause a fire.COOKWARE GUIDEMost heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookwarebefore 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.
1010UNDERSTANDING YOUR TOAST AND WAVETIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKINGBROWNINGMeat and poultry with high fat content that are cookedfor 10 or 15 minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foodscooked a shorter time can be brushed with a browningagent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, orbarbecue sauce.COVERING A cover traps heat and steam and causes the food tocook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plasticwrap with one corner folded back to vent the excesssteam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper will prevent the food from splattering in the oven and helpretain heat. When warming bread items, use waxedpaper, napkins, or paper towels. To absorb extra moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in papertowels.SPACINGArrange 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 infoods. Always stir from the outside toward the center of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.TURNINGLarge foods, such as roasts and whole poultry, shouldbe turned so that the top and bottom cook evenly. Alsoturn over chicken pieces and chops.ARRANGEMENTDo not stack food. Arrange in a single layer in the dishfor more even cooking. Because dense foods cookmore 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, youneed to test frequently for doneness.STANDING TIME Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2to 15 minutes after you remove it from the oven.Usually, you need to cover food during standing time toretain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightlyundercooked and they will finish cooking during stand-ing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about10 °F during standing time.SHIELDING To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dish-es from overcooking, you may need to shield them with small strips of aluminum foil to block themicrowaves. 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 wallsto prevent arcing.PIERCING Pierce the shell, skin, or membrane of foods beforecooking to prevent them from bursting. Foods thatrequire piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hotdogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegetables, such aspotatoes and squash.CLEANINGWipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth anda 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 difficultto remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with awet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken orbacon.REMOVABLE PARTSThe turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.They should be hand-washed in warm (not hot) waterwith a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they areclean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never usecleaning powders, steel wool, or rough pads.• The turntable may be cleaned at the sink. Be carefulnot to chip or scratch the edges as this may causethe turntable to break during use.• The turntable roller rest should be cleaned regularly.SPECIAL CAREFor best performance and safety, the inner door paneland the oven front frame should be free of food orgrease buildup. Wipe often with a mild detergent; thenrinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders orrough pads.After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEARto clear any entries that might have been enteredaccidentally while cleaning the panel.
ENGLISH11UNDERSTANDING YOUR TOAST AND WAVETIPS FOR TOASTERCLEANINGNever immerse the toaster in water. Always unplug thetoaster and allow the toaster to cool completely beforecleaning.Exterior : Wipe surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth.Never use abrasive cleaners, as they mayscratch the surface.Interior : To remove crumbs, shake the toaster gentlyso that crumbs fall into the crumb tray. If foodjams in the slots, disconnect the toaster plugfrom wall outlet and wait until cooled com-pletely. Remove food with wooden tongs. Donot use fork or other sharp, metal object toclean inside of the toaster, or to remove toast,as it may damage heating elements.Crumb Tray : After allowing the toaster to cool downand closing the door, gently slide out thecrumb tray. Brush crumbs off the trayand, if necessary, wipe it with a clean,damp cloth. Always dry the tray thorough-ly. When sliding the crumb tray into placebe sure to feel/hear it snap into position.IMPORTANTBefore using the toaster for the first time, set the Darkness Control at medium and operate the toaster without breadin order to burn off residues on the heating elements.
