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 Utensil  
• 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  
• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because  
they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
Paper  
Wood  
• Microwave-safe paper towels, waxed paper, paper  
napkins, and paper plates with no metallic trim or  
design can be used in your oven.  
• Wooden bowls, boards, and baskets will dry out and  
may split or crack when you use them in the  
microwave oven.  
• Refer to the 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  
• Avoid using 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  
Depending on density, food often needs to stand from 2  
to 15 minutes after you remove it from the oven.  
Usually, you need to cover food during standing time to  
retain heat. Remove most foods when they are slightly  
undercooked and they will finish cooking during stand-  
ing time. The internal temperature of food will rise about  
10 °F during standing time.  
SPACING  
SHIELDING  
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.  
To prevent some portions of rectangular or square dish-  
es 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.  
PIERCING  
TURNING  
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.  
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 THE MICROWAVE  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR  
to clear any entries that might have been entered  
accidentally while cleaning the panel.

results. Three different defrosting levels are provided.  
OPERATING TIPS  
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and  
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic pack-  
age (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.

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 cook-  
ing.  
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.  
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.  
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 during roasting helps to cook these  
areas evenly.  
6. Let stand for 5-10 minutes wrapped in foil after  
cooking before carving. The standing time is very  
important, as 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.  
6. Make sure meat, especially pork, is thoroughly  
cooked before eating.

USING YOUR TOASTER  
TIPS FOR TOASTER  
IMPORTANT  
MAINTANANCE  
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 dis-  
appear.  
This toaster requires little maintenance. It contains no  
user-serviceable parts inside the housing. Do not  
remove the cover. Contact qualified Service Center, if  
the product requires servicing.  
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 ele-  
ments.  
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 thorough-  
ly. When sliding the crumb tray into place,  
be sure you feel and hear it snap into  
position.  
COOKING TIPS  
WARNING  
Never place any 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 of 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 will be toasted to your  
taste at a lighter setting.  
18  
 
USING YOUR TOASTER  
OPERATING INSTRUCTION  
• Make sure the crumb tray is pushed all the way in place before plugging toaster into wall outlet.  
• Remove all protective wrappings from food before placing into toasting slots. Place bread into slots and Close  
the door. Then select one mode (Toast/Bagel) and press the Darkness Control to the desired setting (experi-  
ment to suit individual taste). When you press the Start button, the heating element will turn on.  
• Centering guides will automatically center the food for even browning. However, uneven browning may occur  
if you are only using one toasting slot. 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.  
• Do not adjust the Darkness Control while the toaster is in use. To interrupt the  
toasting cycle, press the "stop/clear" control button.  
• During the toasting cycle, the indicator light wil be illuminated. If you open the door,  
toasting will stop and the light will blink. The toasting cycle can be resumed by  
closing the toaster door and pressing the start button.  
• When the beep sounds, take out food carefully not to touch toaster’s hot surface.  
NOTE: After use of toaster, fan will run for 1 minute to cool.

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?  
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 Toast N Wave be damaged if it  
operates empty?  
Yes. Never operate the oven and toaster 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 Toast N Wave 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 wall outlet  
for the first time, 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 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  
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.  
Why does a fan sound for some time after  
toasting?  
The fan blowing cools the toaster heater for about 1 minute after  
toasting. This is normal.  
What does "HOT" code on the display  
mean?  
That means internal temperature is irregularly high. Check you  
operated toaster without bread. At this time, fan blows for about 3  
minutes to cool down the toaster. After cooling stops, you can oper-  
ate toaster again.  
CAUTION: Do not operate toaster without bread.  
What does "F-1" and "F-2" code on the  
display mean?  
That means failure mode. Contact the nearest Authorized Service  
Center.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Questions and Answers (continued)  
Food  
Answer  
Question  
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 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.  
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.  
Is it possible to pop popcorn in a  
microwave oven?  
Yes, if using one of the two methods described below:  
(1) microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave  
cooking  
(2) prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that is made  
for specific times and power output needed  
Follow exact directions given by each manufacturer for  
its popcorn popping product and do not leave the oven  
unattended while the corn is being popped. If corn fails  
to pop after the suggested time, discontinue cooking.  
Overcooking could result in an oven fire.  
CAUTION:  
Never use a brown paper bag for popping corn or attempt to  
pop leftover kernels.  
Do not pop prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn  
directly on the glass turntable. To avoid excessive heating of  
the glass turntable, place the popcorn bag on a plate.  
Why do baked apples sometimes burst  
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 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. 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?  
22
