8USEOvenproof Glass• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heatincludes utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates,cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles,and bowls without 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 surethat the dish is deep enough so the plastic wrapdoes not touch the food. As the food heats, it maymelt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touchesthe 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 someCorelle™ 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 thewalls and door of the oven.Wood• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry outand may 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 canbecome hot and cause a fire.UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENCOOKWARE 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.
9UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVENTIPS 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 Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes afteryou remove it from the oven. Usually, you need tocover food during standing time to retain heat. Removemost foods when they are slightly undercooked andthey 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 squaredishes 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.
10CLEANINGPRECAUTIONSUNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN• Place the front surface of the door three inches ormore from the countertop edge to avoid accidentaltipping of the microwave oven during normal use.• To program the oven, make sure you touch the centerof each pad firmly since the areas between the padswill not activate the oven. A tone will sound each timea pad is touched correctly. Don’t touch several pads atonce.• Do not strike the control panel with silverware,utensils, etc. Breakage may occur.• Always use caution when taking the cooking utensilsout of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from thecooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guideearlier in this section for more information.• Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in waterimmediately after cooking. This may cause breakage.Also, always allow the turntable to cool beforeremoving it from the oven.• Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food orwater should always be in the oven during operationto absorb the microwave energy.• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.They may catch fire.• Use thermometers that have been approved formicrowave oven cooking.• The turntable must always be in place when youoperate the oven. • Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in theshell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing itto burst.• There are several precautions to follow whenmicrowaving popcorn:— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safecontainer or commercial packages designed formicrowave ovens. — Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is notmicrowave-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 poppingslows to 2-3 seconds between pops.— Do not leave microwave unattended while poppingcorn.— Follow directions on bag.NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the powercord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to pre-vent an accidental oven start.INTERIORWipe 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 rotating ring are removable. Theyshould be hand-washed in warm (not hot) water with amild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are clean,rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaningpowders, 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 rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.DOORFor 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 entered acci-dentally while cleaning the panel. Also make sure thatthe turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.

21HEATING OR REHEATING GUIDETo heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount offood in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Roomtemperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placedin a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrapand vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheatingcooked food.Items Cook time                                Special Instructions(at HIGH)Sliced meat Place sliced meat on microwavable plate.3 slices (1/4-inch thick) 1-2 minutes Cover with plastic wrap and vent.* Note: Gravy or sauce helps to keep meat juicy.Chicken pieces1 breast 2-31/2minutes Place chicken pieces on microwavable plate.

The microwave ovenhas 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 nearthe oven while you are cooking.The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when youplug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outletand 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 themicrowave 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 mechanicalswitch.The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.AnswerFoodQuestion AnswerWhat is wrong when baked foods have ahard, dry, brown spot?Why do eggs sometimes pop?A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten thecooking or reheating time.When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due tosteam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
24TROUBLESHOOTINGQuestions and Answers (continued)FoodQuestionWhy 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 recommendedafter 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 samerecipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be var-ied 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 formicrowave cooking(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made for specific times and power output neededFollow 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 attemptto pop leftover kernels.• Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorndirectly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heatingof the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.• Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping slows to2-3 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 appleto allow for expansion of the interior of the apple during cooking.As in conventional cooking methods, the interior of the appleexpands 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. Theamount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affectstotal cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out ofa refrigerator than for food at room temperature.Answer
