However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps: Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware. 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 plastics wrap does not touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the plastics wrap wherever the wrap touch the food. ．Place plastics 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 Metal Utensil ．Metal shields food microwave energy and products 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 Corning Company recommends that you do not use Centura tableware and some CorelleTM 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.
MICROWAVE OVEN 7the plastics 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 plastics 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. Wood ．wooden bowels, 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 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 15minutes or longer will brown lightly. Foods cooked a shorter time can be bushed with a browning agent, such as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or barbecue sauce. COVERING A covering traps heat and steam and cause 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
MICROWAVE OVEN 8circle 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℉ 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.
MICROWAVE OVEN 9CLEANING 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 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 mild detergent; then rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning powders or rough pads. Before cleaning, unplug oven at wall outlet. If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven open while cleaning. After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you: •Set a cooking time? •Touched START? Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass though. They do not let microwave energy pass though. Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched? The tone tells you that the setting has been entered. Can my microwave oven Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food CH:Id5:26
MICROWAVE OVEN 16be damaged if food is cooked for too long? 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. When the oven is plugged into wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong? 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. Why do I see reflection around the outlet case? The light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the microwave oven is operating? 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. Food Question Answer What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot? A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. 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? 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. Is it possible to pop popcorn in a microwave oven? 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
MICROWAVE OVEN 17manufacturer 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, place the popcorn bag on a plate. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking? 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. Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking? 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. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator? 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. BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE You can often correct operating problems yourself.
