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:

Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.
Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.
Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. lf 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 paper manufacturer’s label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven.

|

Metal Utensils
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.
Cantura™ Tableware
- The Corning Company recommends that you do not use Cantura tableware and some Corelle TM dosed-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.

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 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.

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.

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 1 0″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 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.

AUTO REHEAT

AUTO DEFROST

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 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 to get best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided.
- 1 MEAT
- 2 POULTRY
- 3 FISH
- Available weight is 0.1 ~6.0 lbs.

NOTE :
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.

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.

COOKING TIPS

Meat

No special techniques are required. Meat should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired. Always thoroughly defrost meat before cooking.
Place the meat on a microwave roasting rack or microwave-proof plate and place on the turntable.
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.
Turn the meat over once halfway through the cooking time.
Wrap in foil and let stand for 5~10 minutes after cooking. The standing time is very important as it completes the cooking process.
Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly cooked before eating.

Poultry

No special techniques are required. Poultry should be prepared as with conventional cooking. Season if desired.
Poultry should be thoroughly defrosted. Remove giblets and any metal clamps. nu Prick the skin and brush lightly with vegetable oil unless the poultry is self-basting.
All poultry should be placed on a microwave roasting rack or a microwave-proof plate and placed on the turntable.
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.
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.
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.

TIPS FOR TOASTER

IMPORTANT
Before using the toaster for the first time, set the Darkness Control at medium and operate the toaster without bread in order to burn off residues on the heating elements. You will notice an odor that is characteristic of new heating elements. This is normal and will soon disappear,

CLEANING THE TOASTER

Always unplug the Toast N Wave and allow the toaster to cool completely before cleaning.
Exterior : Wipe surface with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the surface.
Interior : If food jams in the slots, disconnect Toast N Wave plug from wall outlet and wait until cooled completely. Remove food with wooden tongs. Do not use fork or other sharp, metal object to clean inside of the toaster, or to remove toast, as it may damage heating elements.

MAINTANANCE

This toaster requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts inside the housing. Do not remove the cover. Contact Sears Service, if the product requires servicing.
Crumb Tray : After allowing the toaster to cool down and closing the door, gently slide out the crumb tray. Brush crumbs off the tray and, if necessary, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth, Always dry the tray thoroughly, When sliding the crumb tray into place, be sure you feel and hear it snap into position.

COOKING TIPS

WARNING
Never place any non-food object in the toaster for any reason!

DO NOT toast pastries with runny fillings or frosting,
DO NOT toast torn slices of bread or broken pastries.
DO NOT place buttered bread, wrapped food, or frozen pastries in the toaster.
DO NOT use this toaster to toast or warm small-size bread slices. These include “melba” size breads, slices of mini-baguettes, breadsticks, etc.
DO NOT toast oversized bagel. Because thick bagel’s surface may become closer to the heater, this may cause overdone surface and smoke.
NOTE: Different types of bread and their moisture levels may require different darkness settings, For example, dry bread will brown more rapidly than moist bread and so should be toasted to your taste at a lighter setting,

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

operates empty?

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 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.
