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
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.

DO NOT USE
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 rnicrowave oven,
Metal Decoration · Do not use metal-trirnmed or metal-banded
dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc.
Centura TM Tableware · The Coming Company recommends that you
do not use Centura tableware and some Corelle TM closed-handle cups for microwave cooking,
Aluminum Foil · Do not use large sheets of alurninum 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 becorne
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, er 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 ene 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 ef the dish.
TESTING FOR DONENESS Because foods cook quickly in a microwave oven, yeu 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 ef food will rise about 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 block the microwaves. You can also cover poultry legs and wing tips with foil to keep them from evercoeking. Always keep foil at least f 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.

COOKING TIPS
Meat
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. 4. Turn the meat over once halfway through the
cooking time. 5. Wrap in foil and let stand for 5~10 minutes 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.

NOTE: The times listed above are only a guide. Allow for difference in individual tastes and
preferences. The times may also vary due to the shape, cut, and composition of the food.

Poultry
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.
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.

Questions and Answers

Operation
Question
Why is the oven light not on during cooking?

Answer

There may be several Have you: · Set a cooking time? · Touched START?

reasons why the oven light is not on.

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.

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.

Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

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.

Why does a tone sound when a pad on the control panel is touched?

The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.

Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long?

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.

When the oven is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, and it does not work properly. What is wrong?

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.

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 rnagnetron 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.

Why does a fan sound for some time after The fan blowing cools the toaster heater for about 1 minute after

toasting?

toasting. This is normal.

What does “HOT” code on the display mean?

If you operate toaster several times using one slot continuously, the toaster’s internal temperature will be hot and may cause “Hot” to appear in the display. This will go away after several minutes after the toaster cools down.
CAUTION: Do not operate toaster without bread.

What does “F-I” and “F-2” code on the display mean?

That rneans failure mode. Contact the nearest Sears Parts & Repair Center.

Questions and Answers (continued)

Food
Question
What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?

Answer
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.

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.

Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?
Why do baked potatoes sometimes burn during cooking?

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.
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?
Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator?

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.
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.
