COOK WARE 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  $100\%$  powerfor 1 minute.If the dish is warm,it should not be used for microwave cooking.  # USE  # Ovenproof Glass  ·Glass treated for use in high-intensity heat includes util itydishes,bread dishes,pieplates,cakeplates,liquid measuring cups,casseroles,and bowls without metallic trim.  China · Bowls, cups, serving plates, and platters without metal li c trim can be used inyouroven.  # 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 plas tic 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 pl astic may s often from the heat of the food.  # Paper  ·Microwave-safepaper 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 Utensils  ·Metal shields food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking.Avoid metal skewers,thermometers,orfoil 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.  Cent u raTM Tableware ·The Corning Company recommends that you do not use Centura tableware and some Corel leT M closedhandle cups for microwave cooking.  # Aluminum Foil  ·Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hin dercooking and may cause arcing. · Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings. ·Keep all aluminum foil at least 1 inchfrom thewalls 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.  BrownPaper · Avoid using brown paper bags. They absorb heat and could burn.  
TIPS FOR MICROWAVE COOKING  # BROWNING  Meat and poultry with high fat content will brown lightly when cooked for 10 or 15 minutes or longer.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 wil 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,andhorsd'oe uvres in a circle and atleast 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 ofthedish.Food at the outside of the dish heats first  # TURNING  Largefoods,such as roasts and whole poultry,should be turned during cooking so that the top and bottom cook evenly.Also turnover chicken pieces and chops  # CLEANING  Wipe the oven inside and outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.Thenrinse andwipe dry. This should be done weekly or more often, if needed. Never use cleaning powders or roughpads.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(nothot)water with a mild detergent and asoftcloth.Once they are clean, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning powders,steelwool,or rough pads  ARRANGEMENT  Donot stack food.Arrange in a single layer in the dish for more even cooking.Because dense foods cook moreslowly,place thicker portions of meat,poultry,fish and vegetables toward the outside of the dish.  # TESTING FORD ONENESS  Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, you need to test frequently for doneness.  # STANDING TIME  Food often needs to stand from 2 to 15 minutes after cooking inside as well as outside the oven. Usually, you need to cover food during standing time to retain heat. Stop the cooking when they are slightly undercooked and they will finish cooking during standing time.The internal temperature of food will rise about  $10~^{\circ}\mathsf{F}$  during standing time.  # SHIELDING  To prevent some portions of food in rectangular or square dishes from overcooking, you may need to cover the dish with small strips of aluminum foil to block the microwaves.You can also cover poultry legs and wingtips with foil to keep them from overcooking. Always keep foil atleast 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.  · The turntable may be cleaned in the sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch theedgesas 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 roughpads  After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel l

COOKING GUIDE FOR LOWER POWER LEVEL  The 10 power levels in addition to H lG Hallow you to choose the best power level for the food you are cooking.The power levels are listed below,with examples of foods best cooked at each level and the amount of microwave power output you are using at each Level.   
# SENSOR OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS  Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item.The display will indicate SENSING during the initial sensing period. When the internal sens or detects a certain amount of humidity coming from thefood,it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by Sensor, following these rec om mend at ions:  1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature. 2.Glass TURNTABLE and outside of container should be dry to assure best cooking results 3.Foods should always be covered loosely with micro wav able plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid. 4. Do not open the door or touch the Stop/Clear pad during the sensing time. When sensing time is over,the oven beeps twice and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window.At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or rearrange the food.  # SENSOR COOKING GUIDE  Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results  1. Always use micro wav able containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. 2. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook. 3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers atleast half full for best results. 4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven.Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.  ADDING OR SUBTRACTING SENSOR COOK TIME  If the SENSOR function is too long ortoo short,you can increaseor decrease thecook time by 10seconds after choosing the function.You can only increase or decrease cook time when sensor is displayed.  Example: Ifyou wanttoadd to the Sensor Cook casserole cooking time.   # POPCORN(SENSOR)  POPCORN lets you pop3.0 and 3.5ouncebags of commercially packaged microwave popcorn.Poponly one package at a time.lf you are using a microwave popcorn popper,follow manufacturer's instructions.

 # AUTO DEFROST  Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost sequences.Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Chart on pages 19-20 provides some basic guidelines for using the three defrost sequences.  
 Example: To defrost 1.2 Ibs. of ground beef.  NOTE: When you touch the START pad,the display changes to defrost time countdown.The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle.Atthistime,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  # WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART  To enter food weight in Auto Defrost,you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.lf the weight on the food package is infractions of a pound,you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals   # DEFROSTING TIPS  ·When using Auto Defrost, the weight tobe entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container). ·Use Auto Defrost only for raw food.Auto Defrost gives best results when food tobe thawed is a minimumof  $0^{\circ}\mathsf{F}$  (taken directly from a freezer).If food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintaina temperature of  $5^{\circ}\mathsf{F}$  or below, always programa lower food weight(for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food. ·If thefood is stored outside the freezer forup to 20 minutes，enter a lower food weight. · The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than adeepblock ·Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.Separated pieces defrost more easily ·You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven.Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining. See page 6. · Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to cook too fast. · For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time. ·For best results, elevate food to be defrosted on a microwave safe roasting rack. This prevents the possibility of warm meat juices cooking food during defrost.  
AUTO DEFROST CHART  # Meat Setting  Meat of irregular shape and large,fatty cuts of meat should have the narrow or fatty areas shielded with foil at the beginning of adefrost sequence.

TIME DEFROST  This feature allows you to choose the time you want to defrost. The Time Defrost Chart (see page 22) provides some basic guidelines for using Time Defrost.  Example: To defrost for 2 minutes.   
· When the defrost time is over, you will hear four beeps and ENDwill display.  # QUICK DEFROST  The Quick Defrost feature provides rapid defrosting for 1 Ib.of frozen food.The oven automatically sets the defrosting time for ground beef. Example: To defrost 1 Ib. ground beef.   # NOTE:  ·The microwave will beep and defrosting will pause so the door can be opened and the meat can be turned.Ifthe door is notopened at thistime, the countdown will resume. ·Any ground meat can be used with Quick Defrost,but this feature works best with ground beef  # USE OF THE TWO POSITION METALRACK  The two position metal rack givesyou extra spacewhen cooking in more than one container at the sametime. Themetal rack canbe turned upside down to accommodate different container sizes.  To use rack:  1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports. ·Rack MUST NOT touch metal walls or back of microwave oven. 2. Place equal amounts of food both ABOVE and BELOWrack ·Amount of food must be approximately the same in both containers to balance out cooking energy.   # CAUTION  To avoid risk of property damage: · Do not use rack to pop popcorn. ·Rack must be on the four plastic supports whenused. · Use the rack only when cooking food on two positions. ·Do not cook with rack onfloor of the oven.  
# TIME DEFROST CHART   
NOTE:Defrost timesare approximate and are intended as guidelines  # GETTING THE BEST COOKING RESULTS  To get the best results from your microwave oven,read and follow the guidelines below.  ·Storage Temperature:Foods takenfrom the freezer or refrigerator take longer to cook than the same foods at room temperature.The times in this book are based on the normal storage temperature of the food. ·Size:Small pieces of food cook faster than large ones: pieces similar in size and shape cookmore evenly.For even cooking, reduce the power when cooking large pieces of food. ·Natural Moisture:Verymoist foods cook more evenly because microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. ·Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables from the outside to the center to distribute the heat evenly and speed cooking. Constant stirring is not necessary, occa s ional stirring is sufficient. ·Turn over foods like pork chops, whole potatoes, roasts,or whole cauliflower halfway through the cooking time to expose all sides equally to microwave energy.  · Place delicate areas of foods, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the dish. ·Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or salmon steaks,with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the dish ·Shield parts of food that may cook quickly,such as wingtips and legends of poultry with small pieces of aluminum foil. ·LetStand:After you remove the food from the microwave,cover food with foil or casserole lid and let it stand to finish cooking in the center and avoid overcook ing the outer edges.The length of standing time dependson thedensity and surface area of the food. · Wrapping in waxed paper or paper towel: Sandwiches and many other foods containing prebaked bread should be wrapped prior to microwaving to prevent drying out.  
FISH AND SHELLFISH Cooking Fish and Shellfish: General Directions ·Prepare the fish for cooking:  Completely defrost the fish or shellfish  Arrange unevenly shaped pieces with thicker parts toward the outside of the dish. Arrange shellfish in a single layer for even cooking.  The type of cover you use depends on how you cook Poached fish needs a micro wav able lid or vented plastic wrap.Bakedfish,coatedfish,or fish in sauce needs to be covered lightly with waxed paper to keep the coating crisp and sauce from getting watery.  -Always set the shortest cooking time.Fishisdone when it turns opaque and the thickest part begins to flake.Shellfish is done when the shell turns from pink to red and the flesh is opaque and firm.  ·The Fish and Shel fish Cooking Table below provides specific directions with Power Level and Cooking Time settings for most types of fish and shellfish  # FISH AND SHELLFISH COOKING TABLE   
APPETIZERS/SAUCES/SOUPS  Cooking Appetizers: Tips and Techniques  ·Crisp crackers,such as melba toast,shredded wheat, and crisp rye crackers arebest for microwave use.Wait until party time to add the spreads.Place a paper towel under the crackers while they cook in the microwave oven to absorb extra moisture. ·Arrange individual appetizers in a circle for even cooking. ·Stirdipsto distribute heat and shorten cooking time.  Cooking Sauces: Tips and Techniques  ·Use a micro wav able casserole or glass measuring cup that is atleast 2 or 3 times the volume of the sauce. ·Sauces made with cornstarch thicken more rapidly than those made with flour.  Cooking Soups: Tips and Techniques  Not Recommended ·Appetizers with a crisp coating or puff pastry are best done in a conventional oven with dry heat. ·Breaded products can be warmed in the microwave oven but will not come out crisp. ·Cook sauces made with cornstarch or flour uncovered so you may stir them 2 or 3 times during cooking for a smooth consistency. · To adapt a conventional sauce or gravy recipe, reduce the amount of liquid slightly. ·Stirring occasionally will help blend flavors,distribute heatevenly,and may even shorten the cooking time. ·When converting a conventional soup recipe to cook in the microwave, reduce the liquid, salt, and strong seasonings.  ·Cook soups in a micro wav able dish which holds double the volume of the recipe ingredients to prevent boil-over, especially if you use cream or milk in thesoup. ·Generally,cover microwaved soups with VENTED p last io wrap or a micro wav able lid. ·Cover foods to retain moisture. Uncover foods toretain crispness. ·Avoid overcooking by using the minimum suggested time. Add more time, if necessary, only after checking thefood.  # MEAT  Cooking Meat: General Directions  ·Prepare themeatfor cooking: -Defrost completely. - Trim off excess fat to avoid splattering. - Place the meat, fat side down, on a micro wav able rack in a micro wav able dish. - Use oven cooking bag for less tender cuts of meat. - Arrange the meat so that thicker portions are toward the outside of the dish. - Cover the meat with waxed paper to prevent splattering. · Tend the meat as it cooks. -Drain juices as they accumulate to reduce splattering and keep from overcooking the bottom of the meat. - Shield thin or bony portions with strips of foil to prevent overcooking.  # NOTE:  Keep the foil atleast 1 inch from the oven walls,anddo not cover more than one-third of the meat with foil at any onetime. ·Let the meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after you remove it from the oven.The internal temperature of the meat may rise from  $5{\cdot}10^{\circ}F$  during standing time. The Meat Cooking Table on page 25 provides detailed directions,PowerLevel,and Cooking Time settings for most cuts of meat.

# POULTRY  Cooking Poultry: General Directions · Prepare the poultry for cooking:  Defrost completely.  Arrange poultry pieces with thicker pieces at the outside edge of thebaking dish.When cooking legs, arrange them like the spokes of a wheel.  Cover the baking dish with waxed paper to reduce splattering.  Use a browning agent(such as worcestershire sauce) or cook with a sauce to give a browned appearance.  -Watch the poultry as it cooks  -Drain and discard juices as they accumulate. -Shield thin or bony pieces with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Keep foil at least 1 inch from the oven walls and other pieces of foil ·Poultry is done when it is no longer pink and thejuices runclear.Whendone,the temperature in the thigh meat shouldbe  $180{\scriptstyle\cdot185^{\circ}\mathsf{F}}.$  ·Let the poultry stand after cooking covered with foil for 10minutes. The Poultry Cooking Table below provides detailed direc  tions, Power Level, and Cooking Time settings for most cuts and types of poultry.  # POULTRY COOKING TABLE   
PASTA AND RICE Microwave cooking and conventional cooking of pasta rice,and cereal require about the same amount of time, but the microwave is a more convenient method because you can cook and serve in the same dish.There is no stir ring needed and leftover pasta tastes just like fresh cooked when reheated in the microwave oven.  Cooking Pasta and Rice:Tips and Techniques ·If you are planning to use rice orpasta in a casserole undercook it so it is still firm. ·Allow for standing time with rice, but not for pasta ·The Pasta and Rice Cooking Tables below provide spe ci fic directions,with Power Level and cooking time settings for most common types of pasta and rice.  # PASTA COOKING TABLE   # RICE COOKING TABLE
