PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, 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
and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of elec-
tric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appli-
ance is properly grounded, and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot recepta-
cle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord shall
be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance, or. . . .
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near
the appliance.
NOTES:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the
extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use

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 plasticwrap.
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.
DO NOT USE
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™ Tableware
•The Corning Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some
Corelle™ 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.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE 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.

ENGLISH
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.
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 IN OVEN
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2
to 15 minutes either in or outside the oven after cooking
power shuts off. Outside of oven, you usually 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°F during
standing time.
SHIELDING
To prevent some portions of foods in 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.

CLEANING
PRECAUTIONS
•Place the front surface of the door three inches or
more from the countertop edge to avoid accidental
tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.
•To program the oven, make sure you touch the center
of each pad firmly since the areas between the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time
a pad is touched correctly. Don’t touch several pads
at once.
•Do not strike the control panel with silverware, uten-
sils, etc. Breakage may occur.
•Always use caution when taking the cooking utensils
out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the
cooked food and may be hot. See Cookware Guide
earlier in this section for more information.
•Do not rinse cooking utensils by placing them in
water immediately after cooking. This may cause
breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool
before removing it from the oven.
•Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or
water should always be in the oven during operation
to absorb the microwave energy.
•Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
•Use thermometers that have been approved for
microwave oven cooking.
•The turntable must always be in place when you
operate the oven.
•Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing
it to burst.
•There are several precautions to follow when
microwaving popcorn:
— Do not pop popcorn, except in a microwave-safe
container or commercial packages designed for
microwave ovens.
— Never try to pop popcorn in a paper bag that is not
microwave-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 popping
slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
— Follow directions on bag.
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossible, open the oven door to pre-
vent an accidental oven start.
INTERIOR
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 rotating ring 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 rotating ring should be cleaned regularly.
DOOR
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 acci-
dentally while cleaning the panel. Also make sure that
the turntable and rotating ring are in the right position.
PIZZA OVEN PAN
The pizza grill pan features a non-stick surface and is
dishwasher safe. It should be washed regularly in a
dishwasher or warm, soapy water.

Meat
1. No special techniques are required. Meat should
be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season
if desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before
cooking.
2. Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or
microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
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.
WARNING: Do not use aluminum foil during cooking cycle.

NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide.

The times may also vary due to the shape, cut,

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 food over helps to cook these areas
evenly.
6. Remove from oven, wrap in foil, and let stand for
5–10 minutes before carving.The standing time
is very important, since 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Questions and Answers
Operation
Question Answer
Why is the oven light not on during
cooking? 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?
Will the microwave oven be damaged
if it operates empty?
Does microwave energy pass through
the viewing screen in the door?
Why does a tone sound when a pad
on the control panel is touched?
Can the microwave oven be damaged
if food is cooked for too long?
When the oven is plugged into the wall
outlet for the first time, it doesn't work
properly. What is wrong?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has 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 near the oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled
and fail to function as programmed when you plug it 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
and then reset the microcomputer.
Why is there light reflection around the
outer case?
This 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 heard
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 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.
Why is the clock display blank or off? Make sure the microwave oven is plugged into a working outlet. Check for a
blown house fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
Why is there a fan running after the
pizza oven is stopped?
The fan will continue operating to cool the internal components of the pizza
oven.
