ELECTRICAL GROUNDING

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk

of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or Sears Service Department if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electircal rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance*, (2) the extension cord must

be a grounding-type 3 wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched or crushed in any way. *NOTE: Electrical Rating of the Oven; 1600 Watts, 13.3 Amperes

INSTALLATION

Install your oven by following these four simple steps: Step 1: Remove all packing material and accessories. Then remove the protection sheet on wrapper.

Step 2: Place the oven in the level location of your choice, but make sure there is at least one inch of

space on the top and at the rear for proper ventilation. The top of the oven should be kept clear and the plastic feet must be kept on the oven so there is air flow ventilation. An exhaust outlet

is at the rear of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.

Step 3: Plug your oven into a Standard 120 volt household outlet. Be sure the electrical circuit is at least

15 amperes and that your microwave/convection oven is the only appliance on the circuit.

Step 4: When your microwave/convection oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes

after a power interruption, the numbers in the display window will show "0:00" plus the hours and minutes that have elapsed since the oven was plugged in or the power was restored. This means that the TIME OF DAY clock must be set. Refer to "Setting Time of Day" below.

NOTE: If your oven does not operate properly, unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet and

then plug it back in. This unit is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120 volt/60 Hz AC circuit.

*The ceramic tray should always be in the oven when either the microwave or micro/convec cooking is used.

Microwaves pass through the tray and are reflected by the oven bottom back up to the underside of the food. As a result, the food receives microwave energy on the bottom, top, and sides all at the same time. However, the tray must be removed for convection cooking. This is because, both the upper and lower heaters are in

operation for convection cooking, and the ceramic tray shields heat from the lower heater.

*Do not use this Sears Kenmore Microwave/Convection Oven for commercial purposes. This microwave/

convection oven is made for household use only.

HOW THE MICROWAVE/CONVECTION OVEN WORKS

Microwave Cooking

Using the energy of microwaves only, food is heated quickly without altering the color or shape. Microwaves generated by a magnetron are

uniformly distributed by the fan so that the food in the oven is heated and cooked. Microwave power can be adjusted in 99 steps, enabling the various kinds of foods to cook at most desirable cooking power for the

best results.

Convection Cooking

This is a way of cooking with the combination of hot air from the upper heater and thermal conduction from the lower heater that heats and cooks

food from the outside. This method allows food to be browned evenly without losing any of the juices. Air heated by the top heater is uniformly circulated in the oven by a fan to enable the heating and cooking of food. Since hot air remains in the oven as it circulates, cooking is very efficient. And more, the lower heater cooks food from bottom side to provide the even cooking results. The temperature inside the oven can be controlled according to the type of food being cooked. Clicking sound of heater switching from lower to upper heating element and back again is a normal

sound associated with this oven. An "Oi! Canning" noise may be heard when using the convection method. This is a normal sound caused by the cold oven floor reacting to the

heating of the element below the oven floor surface or to the hot surface cooling down.

Stirrer/Convection Fan

x Upper Heater

/ _.1,, o. o _.o/

z//Oven ///Metal Rack _ Lower Heater

Micro/Convec Cooking

With both microwave energy and hot air utilized, this method cooks food much more quickly than any conventional method. The solid state control

alternates cooking energy between microwave and hot air cycles to

provide efficient cooking fully utilizing the advantages of both microwave

and hot air cooking systems.

When foods with high moisture content are cooked on the micro/convec method, beads of water may accumulate on the top and/or sides of the

oven door, but will dissipate after use.
