HOW YOUR MICROWAVE WITH SMART WAVE TECHNOLOGY WORKS
This section discusses the concepts ehind microwave cooking. It also shows you the asics you need to know to
operate your microwave oven. Please read this information efore you use your oven.
A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food.
Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic
energy that travel at the speed of light (186,282 miles
per second). Microwaves used in microwave ovens are
in the same family of frequencies as the signals used
in radio and television roadcasting.
In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used
wave frequency is roughly 2,450 megahertz (2.45 giga-
hertz). Waves in this frequency range have an interest-
ing property: they are a sor ed y water, fats and sug-
ars. When they are a sor ed they are converted
directly into atomic motion-heat. Microwaves in this fre-
quency range have another interesting property: they
are not a sor ed y most plastics, glass or ceramics.
Metal reflects microwaves, which is why metal pans do
not work well in a microwave oven.
One of the most important components used in the
microwave oven is the Magnetron. A magnetron, in the
microwave oven is reponsi le for the production of
microwaves. These microwaves produced y the mag-
netron, move into the oven and come in contact with
the food placed on the glass turnta le.
Further, the glass turnta le iniside the oven lets the
microwaves pass through.These microwaves further
ounce off a metal floor and travel ack through the
glass turn ta le and are finally a sor ed y the food,
placed inside the oven .
One of the characterstic features of microwaves is that
they can pass through most glass, papers and plastics
without heating them and they further get a sor ed y
the food in the form of heat energy. The microwaves
ounce off the metal container and so the metal con-
tainer does not a sor its energy.
SMART WAVETM INVERTER MICROWAVE SYSTEM
SMART WAVETM Inverter Microwave System gives you
etter microwave cooking performance for defrosting,
cooking and reheating foods quickly and uniformly. The
SMART WAVETM Inverter Microwave System is proven
technology that delivers a constant stream of
microwave power - true high, medium and low power.
Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH
power only. To achieve 70% power level in a conven-
tional microwave oven, the oven operates 70% of the
time at HIGH power and 70% of the time OFF.
The SMART WAVETM Inverter Microwave System deliv-
ers power continuously, to defrost more evenly and
minimize overcooking of food and messy food spatters.
SENSOR COOKING
The SMART WAVETM Inverter Microwave System fea-
tures Sensor Cooking functions. A humidity sensor in
the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emmit-
ted from food as it gets heated.
The sensor adjusts cooking time according to various
types and amounts of food.Sensor cooking takes the
guesswork out of microwave cooking.
FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS
• Keep a check on the cooking of food.
• In order to make sure that the food is evenly cooked,
stir, turn, or rearrange the food around halfway during
the cooking time.
• Plastic wrap 1/4 to 1/2 inches ( 6.35 to 12.7 mm),
inorder to vent steam during heating or cooking.

USE
Ovenproof Glass
• Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat
includes utility dishes, read dishes, pie plates, cake
plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles, and owls
without metallic trim.
China
• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without
metallic trim can e 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 y pressing the wrap to the sides of
the dish.
• Vent y turning ack one corner of the plastic wrap.
This will allow excess steam to escape.
• Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer
containers, and plastic ags 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 e used in your oven.
• Refer to the manufacturer’s la el 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- anded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura™Tableware
• The Corning Company recommends that you
do not use Centura ta leware and some Corelle™
closed-handle cups for microwave
cooking.
Aluminum Foil
• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil ecause
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 owls, oards, and askets 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 rown paper ags. They a sor
heat and could urn.
Metal Twist Ties
• Always remove metal twist ties as they can ecome
hot and cause a fire.
COOKWARE GUIDE
Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware
efore 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 eside the cookware.
3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not e used for microwave cooking.

TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
BROWNING
Meat and poultry with high fat content cooked for at least
10 to 15 minutes will rown lightly. Foods cooked a
shorter time can e rushed with a rowning agent, such
as Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or ar ecue sauce.
COVERING
A cover will trap heat and steam and cause the food to
cook more quickly. Use a lid or microwave-safe plastic
wrap with one corner folded ack to vent the excess
steam. Lids on glass casseroles can ecome hot during
cooking; always handle carefully. Waxed paper will
prevent the food from splattering in the oven and help
retain heat. When warming read items, use waxed
paper, napkins, or paper towels. To a sor extra
moisture, wrap sandwiches and fatty foods in paper
towels.
SPACING
Arrange individual foods, such as aked 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 lends flavors and redistri utes 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
e turned so that the top and ottom 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
vegeta les toward the outside of the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS
Foods cook quickly in a microwave oven; test frequently
for doneness.
STANDING TIME
Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after
eing removed 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 a out 10°F 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 lock 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 mem rane of foods efore
cooking to prevent them from ursting. Foods that
require piercing include yolks and whites of eggs, hot
dogs, clams, oysters, and whole vegeta les, 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 etween the pads
will not activate the oven. A tone will sound each time a
pad is touched correctly. Do not touch several pads at
once.
•Do not strike the control panel with silverware,
cookware, etc. Breakage may occur.
•Always use caution when taking cookware out of the
oven. Some dishes a sor heat from the cooked food
and may e hot. See the “Cookware Guide” earlier in
this section for more information.
•Do not rinse cookware immediately after cooking. This
may cause reakage. Also, always allow the turnta le
to cool efore removing it from the oven.
•Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water
should always e in the oven during operation to
a sor the microwave energy.
•Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes.
They may catch fire.
•Use thermometers that have een approved for
microwave oven cooking.
•The turnta le must always e in place when you
operate the oven.
•Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the
shell. Pressure can uild up inside the shell, causing it
to urst.
•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 ag that is not
microwave-approved.
— Overcooking may result in smoke and fire.
— Do not repop unpopped kernels.
— Do not reuse popcorn ags.
— Listen while corn pops. Stop oven when popping
slows to 2-3 seconds etween pops.
— Do not leave microwave unattended while popping
corn.
— Follow directions on ag.
NOTE: Before cleaning the oven, unplug the power
cord. If this is impossi le, open the oven door to prevent
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 e done weekly or more often, if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside top will e difficult to
remove if left for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet
paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or acon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The turnta le and rotating ring are remova le. They
should e 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 turnta le may e cleaned at the sink. Be careful
not to chip or scratch the edges as this may cause the
turnta le to reak during use.
•The rotating ring should e cleaned regularly.
DOOR
For est performance and safety, the inner door panel
and the oven front frame should e free of food or
grease uildup. 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 een entered
accidentally while cleaning the panel. Also make sure
