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

interlock.

• 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.

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

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

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.

/ix, 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:

• 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.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your oven to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your

INSTALLATION

A. Circuits

For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20

Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting cir-

cuits 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 volt-

age, 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 coun-

tertop 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 prop-

er 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 elim-

inated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the

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.

USE DO NOT 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.

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 TM Tableware

• The Coming Company recommends that you

do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle TM

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.

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.

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.

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 stand-

ing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about

10 °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 the

microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and

wing tips with foil to keep them from overcooking.

Always keep foil at least I 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.

• 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.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack-

age (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam

and juice close to the foods, which can cause the

outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and

continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave

TIPS FOR TOASTER

IMPORTANT

Before using the toaster for the first time, set the baking

level 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 center, if

the product requires servicing.

CLEANING THE TOASTER

Always unplug your oven 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 the plug of

oven 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 thorough-

ly. When sliding the crumb tray into place,

be sure you feel and hear it snap into

position.

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 baking settings.

For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and so will be toasted to your

taste at a low baking level.

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 turn the dial knob 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 baking level 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 I minute to cool.

Why do eggs sometimes pop? 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.

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?

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
