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 manufacturers label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven. When popping prepackaged popcorn;

Place carefully so the bag does not touch the oven walls. Fold each end of the bag in half toward the center top of thebag. 7 E N G L S H I 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 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. 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 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. UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN I H S L G N E 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 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 doeuvres 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. 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. 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. 8 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 of 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 10F 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 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. The glass 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.

Meat should be Poultry 1. No special techniques are required. Poultry should 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. I H S L G N E Meat Cooking Table Meat Microwave Cooking Time Power Per Pound 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.

Answer 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?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. I H S L G N E 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 my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

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. It is possible to overcook food to the point of smoke and /or fire, causing damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to remain near the oven while cooking. What could be wrong when the oven is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time and it does not operate?

The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you plug 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. Why do I see 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 I hear when the microwave oven is operating?

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave ovens 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. 20 TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers (continued) Food Question Answer 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?

Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking?

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell. 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. E N G L S H I Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn 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 is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

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. 21 TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE You can often correct operating problems yourself.
