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 bo ls
ithout metallic trim.
China
• Bo ls, cups, serving plates, and platters ithout
metallic trim can be used in your oven.
Plastic
• When using plastic rap as a cover, make sure that
the dish is deep enough so the plastic rap does not
touch the food. As the food heats, it may melt the
plastic rap herever the rap touches the food.
• Place plastic rap loosely over the top of the dish
and secure it by pressing the rap to the sides of
the dish.
• Vent by turning back one corner of the plastic rap.
This ill allo 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
• Micro ave-safe paper to els, axed paper, paper
napkins, and paper plates ith 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 micro ave oven.
DO NOT USE
Metal Utensil
• Metal shields food from micro ave energy and
produces uneven cooking. Avoid metal ske ers,
thermometers, or foil trays.
• Metal utensils can cause arcing, hich is a
discharge of electric current. Arcing can damage
your micro ave oven.
Metal Decoration
• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded
dinner are, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura™ Tableware
• The Corning Company recommends that you
do not use Centura table are and some Corelle™
closed-handle cups for micro ave
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 ings.
• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the alls
and door of the oven.
Wood
• Wooden bo ls, boards, and baskets ill dry out and
may split or crack hen you use them in the
micro ave oven.
Tightly Closed Containers
• Tightly closed cook are can explode. Be sure
to leave an opening for steam to escape from
covered cook are.
rown Paper
• Avoid using bro n paper bags. They absorb
heat and could burn.
Metal Twist Ties
• Al ays remove metal t ist ties as they can become
hot and cause a fire.
COOKWARE GUIDE
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cook are is safe for use in your micro ave oven. Ho ever, to test cook are
before using, follo these steps:
1. Place the empty cook are in the micro ave oven.
2. Measure 1 cup of ater in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cook are.
3. Micro ave on 100% po er for 1 minute. If the dish is arm, it should not be used for micro ave cooking.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
ROWNING
Meat and poultry ith high fat content that are cooked
for 10 or 15 minutes or longer ill bro n lightly. Foods
cooked a shorter time can be brushed ith a bro ning
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 micro ave-safe plastic
rap ith one corner folded back to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can become hot
during cooking. Handle carefully. Waxed paper ill
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When arming bread items, use axed
paper, napkins, or paper to els. To absorb extra
moisture, rap sand iches and fatty foods in paper
to els.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as baked potatoes,
cupcakes, and hors d’oeuvres in a circle and at least
1 inch apart. This ill help the food cook more evenly.
STIRRING
Stirring blends flavors and redistributes the heat in
foods. Al ays stir from the outside to ard the center
of the dish. Food at the outside of the dish heats first.
TURNING
Large foods, such as roasts and hole 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 slo ly, place thicker portions of meat, poultry, fish,
and vegetables to ard the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Because foods cook quickly in a micro ave 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 hen they are slightly
undercooked and they ill finish cooking during stand-
ing time. The internal temperature of food ill 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 ith small strips of aluminum foil to block the
micro aves. You can also cover poultry legs and
ing tips ith 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 hites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and hole vegetables, such as
potatoes and squash.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside ith a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and ipe dry.
This should be done eekly or more often, if needed.
Never use cleaning po ders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top ill be difficult
to remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters ith a
et paper to el, especially after cooking chicken or
bacon.
REMOVA LE PARTS
The turntable and turntable roller rest are removable.
They should be hand- ashed in arm (not hot) ater
ith a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Once they are
clean, rinse ell and dry ith a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning po ders, steel ool, 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 ith a mild detergent; then
rinse and ipe dry. Never use cleaning po ders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR
to clear any entries that might have been entered
accidentally hile cleaning the panel.

2. Place the meat on a micro ave roasting rack or
micro ave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (belo ).
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 half ay through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes rapped 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 ith conventional cooking. Season if
desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly ith vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a micro ave roasting
rack or a micro ave-proof plate and placed on the
turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table belo . Turn over half ay 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 rapped in foil after
cooking before carving. The standing time is very
important, as it completes the cooking process.
7. Make sure poultry is thoroughly cooked before eating.
Whole poultry is completely cooked hen the juices
run clear from the inside thigh hen it is pierced ith
a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced ith
a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that
the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

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 micro ave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Does micro ave energy pass through the
vie ing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound hen a pad on
the control panel is touched?
Can my micro ave oven be damaged if
food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into all outlet
for the first time, it does not ork properly.
What is rong?
Why do I see light reflection around the
outer case?
What are the various sounds I hear hen
the micro ave oven is operating?
There may be several reasons hy the oven light is not on.
Have you:
• Set a cooking time?
• Touched START?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The micro ave oven
has been designed to vent this steam.
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or ithout the glass turntable.
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.
The holes (or ports) allo only light to pass through. They do not
let micro ave 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 al ays best to be near
the oven hile you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily
become scrambled and fail to function as programmed hen you
plug in for the first time or hen po er resumes after a po er
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 hich is located bet een the
oven cavity and the outer all of the oven.
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical s itch turning the
micro ave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in po er the
magnetron dra s as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical
s itch.The change in blo er speed is from the change in line
voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Food
Question
What is rong hen baked foods have a
hard, dry, bro n spot?
Why do eggs sometimes pop?
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a
little dry after cooking?
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a
micro ave oven?
Why do baked apples sometimes burst
during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes
burn during cooking?
Why is a standing time recommended
after micro ave cooking time is over?
Why is additional time required for
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?
A hard, dry, bro n 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 ith a ooden toothpick before cooking.
CAUTION: Never micro ave eggs in the shell.
Eggs ill dry out hen 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 t o methods described belo :
(1) micro ave-popping devices designed specifically for micro ave
cooking
(2) prepackaged commercial micro ave popcorn that is made
for specific times and po er 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
allo 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 allo s foods to continue cooking evenly for a fe
minutes after the actual micro ave 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.
