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
de 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 alid 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.
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
underceoked 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 overceoking, 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.
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.
•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
roasting rack to catch drippings.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when
removed from the oven.

3. Cook according to the Meat Cooking Table (below).
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 halfway through the cooking
time.
5. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped 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.

NOTE: The times listed above are only aguide. Allow
for difference in individual tastes and preferences. The
times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and compo-
sition of the food.
Poultry
1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if
desired.
2. Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove
giblets and any metal clamps.
3. Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil
unless the poultry is self-basting.
4. All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting
rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the
turntable.
5. Cook according to the instructions in the Poultry
Cooking Table below. Turn over halfway 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 wrapped 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 when the juices
run clear from the inside thigh when it is pierced with
a sharp knife. Poultry pieces should be pierced with
a sharp knife through the thickest part to ensure that
the juices are clear and the flesh is firm.

TIPS FOR TOASTER
IMPORTANT
Before using the toaster for the first time, set the
Darkness Control at medium and operate the toaster
without broad in order to bum off residues on the heating
elements. You will notice an odor that is characteristic of
new heating elements. This is normal and will soon dis-
appear.
MAIN TANANCE
This toaster requires little maintenance. It contains no
uesr-esrvicoable parts inside the housing. Do not
remove the cover. Contact qualified Sears Service, if
the product requires servicing.
CLEANING THE TOASTER
Always unplug the Toast N Wave and allow the toaster
to cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior :Wipe surface with asoft, clean, damp cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners, as they may
scratch the surface.
Interior :If food jams in the slots, disconnect Toast N
Wave plug 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 ele-
ments.
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 aclean,
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
tWARNING
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, broadsticks, 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 darkness settings,
For example, dry dread will drown more rapidly than moist bread and so will de toasted to your
taste at a lighter setting.

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 press the Darkness Control to the desired setting (experi-
ment 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. Ifyou 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 Darkness Control 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. Ifyou open the door,
toasting will slop 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.
