USING 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.  
USE  
DO NOT USE  
Ovenproof Glass  
Metal Utensils  
• 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.  
• 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.  
China  
• Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without  
metallic trim can be used in your oven.  
Metal Decoration  
• Do not use metal-trimmed or metal-banded  
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.  
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.  
Centura™ Tableware  
• The Corning Company recommends that you  
do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle™  
closed-handle cups for microwave cooking.  
• Place plastic wrap loosely over the top of the dish  
and secure it by pressing the wrap to the sides of  
the dish.  
Aluminum Foil  
Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because  
they hinder cooking and may cause arcing. You may  
use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and  
wings.  
• 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.  
• Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the walls  
and door of the oven.  
Wood  
Paper  
• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and  
may split or crack when you use them in the  
microwave oven.  
• 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 paper manufacturer’s label for use of  
any paper product 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  
Do not use 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  
ARRANGEMENT  
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.  
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  
COVERING  
Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you  
need to test frequently for doneness.  
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.  
STANDING TIME IN OVEN  
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from  
2 to 15 minutes either in or outside of the oven after  
cooking power shuts off. Outside of the 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.  
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.  
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.  
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  
PIERCING  
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.  
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  
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.  
• 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. Oven turntable may  
also be cleaned in a dishwasher.  
• The turntable support 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.  
REMOVABLE PARTS  
The turntable and turntable support 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.  
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR  
to clear any entries that might have been entered  
accidentally while cleaning the panel.

NOTE:  
AUTO DEFROST  
When you touch the START pad, the display changes  
to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during  
the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and  
turn, separate, or rearrange the food. Remove any  
portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to  
the oven and touch START to resume the defrost  
cycle.  
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.  
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best  
defrosting method for frozen foods. The Cooking Guide  
on the front of the oven cavity will show you which  
defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are  
defrosting.  
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a  
built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check,  
turn over, separate, or rearrange the food to get best  
defrost results. Three different defrosting options are  
provided.  
OPERATING TIPS  
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and  
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic  
package (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.

WARNING: Do not use large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking  
and may cause arcing. You may 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.  
COOKING TIPS  
Meat  
Poultry  
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.  
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.  
4. Turn the meat over once halfway through the  
cooking time.  
5. After cook time has finished, allow for 5~10 minutes  
of standing time to complete the cooking process. If  
you remove meat for standing time, wrap it in foil.  
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly  
cooked before eating.  
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. After cook time has finished, allow for 5~10 minutes  
of standing time to complete the cooking process. If  
you remove poultry for standing time, wrap it in foil.  
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.

<Fig. 9>  
<Fig. 10>  
<Fig. 11>  
CLEANING THE COFFEE MAKER  
To clean the coffee maker after brewing, be sure the unit is OFF and has cooled.  
Discard the paper filter and grounds, and clean as follows:  
The water reservoir, filter basket, carafe, and carafe lid are all top-rack dishwasher  
safe. They may also be hand-washed.  
Warming plate may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the Coffee Maker.  
If you want to remove carafe lid, open and tilt the lid to one side.  
If you want to separate filter basket from water reservoir, refer to Fig.12, 13.  
Reassemble the filter basket and reservoir with opposite motion being careful to  
properly engage the reservoir’s seal. Ensure the filter basket is fully seated to the  
reservoir to prevent leakage.

USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER  
SELF-CLEANING (HOT WATER TUBE)  
1. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and  
2/3 water  
2. Press the “BREW” button.  
One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffee maker.  
3. Run at least two cycles of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit  
again to brew coffee.  
IMPORTANT  
1. Always use cold water to make coffee.  
Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the coffee maker.  
2. Before using the first time, or when the coffee maker has not been used for some  
time, fill the water reservoir to the maximum with cold water and without coffee  
grounds and without a paper filter.  
Turn on and allow the water to flow through, then discard and fill with clean water.  
3. Never pull out the water reservoir during the brewing cycle.  
Extremely hot water or steam can cause injury.  
Always wait 5 minutes after coffee is brewed, before pulling out the water reservoir.  
4. Do not detach the filter basket from the water reservoir when it is filled with water.  
5. When you remove the water reservoir, lift it slightly.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Questions and Answers  
Operation  
Answer  
Question  
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?  
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven  
has been designed to vent this steam.  
Why does steam come out of the air  
exhaust vent?  
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.  
Will the microwave oven be damaged if it  
operates empty?  
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.  
Does microwave energy pass through the  
viewing screen in the door?  
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.  
Why does a tone sound when a pad on  
the control panel is touched?  
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.  
Can my microwave oven be damaged if  
food is cooked for too long?  
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.  
When the oven is plugged into a wall  
outlet for the first time, it does not work  
properly. What is wrong?  
This light is from the oven light which is located between the  
oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.  
Why do I see light reflection around the  
outer case?  
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.  
What are the various sounds I hear when  
the microwave oven is operating?  
That means failure mode. Contact the nearest Authorized Service  
Center.  
What does "F-1" and "F-2" code on the

Answer  
Question  
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.  
• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.  
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 apples sometimes burst  
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 do baked potatoes sometimes  
burn during cooking?  
Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few  
minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The  
amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods.  
Why is a standing time recommended  
after microwave cooking time is over?  
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.  
Why is additional time required for  
cooking food stored in the refrigerator?  
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 buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this,  
simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking.  
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
