PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE

TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY ...

• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open, since open-door operation can result

in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlock.

• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

- door (bent)

- hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

- door seals and sealing surfaces.

• Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded! If an electrical short circuit occurs, 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.

Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

Ask a qualified electrician or the Sears Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone's tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that:

• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as the appliance.

• The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

NOTE: This oven draws 14 amperes at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.

• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on

by children or tripped over accidentally.

• The electrical cord is dry and not pinched or crushed in any way.

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

• 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 manufacturer's label for use of any paper product in the microwave oven.

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 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

• Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause arcing.

• 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

• 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

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.

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

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.

SHIELDING 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 I 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.

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.

• 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.

After cleaning the control panel, touch STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

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

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.

• 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.

*Available weight is 0.1~6.0 Ibs.

Example: To defrost 1.2 Ibs of ground beef.

page 16 for more information.

NOTE: If you do not select a power level, the oven

will automatically cook at HIGH (100%) power.
