Installation Requirements

Before installing your microwave hood combination, make sure your location meets these requirements. See

the Installation Instructions for details.

e eme k,e

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused

electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is

recommended.) It is recommended that a separate

circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord-connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding

plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman

if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the

microwave oven is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply

cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or ser- viceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking, tt also shows you the basics you need to

know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your microwave oven.

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and

it's this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You

cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces

microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven

where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets

microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and

are absorbed by the food.

Magnetron

Oven cavity

[

Metal floor

Glass turntable

continued on next page

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and

plastics without heating them so food absorbs

the energy• Microwaves bounce off metal

containers so food does not absorb the energy•

Microwaves may not reach the center of a

roast• The heat spreads

_.. to the center from the

outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven

cooking• This is one of the reasons for letting

some foods (for example, roasts

or baked potatoes)

stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some

foods during the cooking time. The microwaves disturb water molecules in the

food. As the molecules bounce around bumping

into each other, heat is made, like rubbing your hands together• This is the heat that does the

cooking•

NOI£: Do not deep fry in the oven• Microwavable

cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures•

For the best cooking results

_,Always cook food for the shortest cooking time

recommended• Check to see how the food is

cooking•

_,,To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,

turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time.

_,,If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax

paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or

plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap 1/4 to 1/2 inch to vent steam during heating or cooking•

Using your microwave oven may cause interference

to your radio, TV, or similar equipment• When there

is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio

or television•

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a

glass container in the oven• Close the door and make sure it latches.

Follow the directions in "Cooking at high cook power" in the "Using Your

Microwave Oven" section to set the

oven to cook for 2 minutes• When the time is up, the water should be heated•

• Moving the radio or TV away from the microwave oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and radio or TV

are on different branch circuits•

Test dinnerware or cookware before

using. To test a dish for

safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water

beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for 1 minute.

If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do

not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to

handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden

metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open.

Use hot pads.

Microwave energy does not heat containers, but

the heat from the food

can make the container hot.

Do not use newspaper or other printed paper

in the oven.

Do not start a microwave oven when it

is empty. Product life may be shortened.

If you practice programming the oven,

put a container of water in the oven.

It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the

oven has been running for a while.

Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave

oven because it allows

microwaves to pass

through it.

Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,

paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

continued on next page

Do not operate the

microwave oven unless the glass turntable is

securely in place and can rotate freely. The

turntable can rotate in either direction.

Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks, contact Sears

for a replacement. When you use a browning dish, the browning

dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the

browning dish.

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

the shell. Steam

buildup in whole eggs may cause them to

burst, and possibly damage the oven.

Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare

cases, poached eggs have been known to

explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a

standing time of 1 minute before cutting into them.

For best results, stir any liquid several

times during heating

or reheating. Liquids

heated in certain containers (especially

containers shaped like cylinders) may become

overheated. The liquid may splash out with a

loud noise during or

after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.

The heat spreads to the center from the outer, cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This

is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for

example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods

during the cooking time.

Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain

appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

Do not overcook potatoes. At the end

of the recommended cooking time, potatoes

should be slightly firm because they will

continue cooking during standing time. After

micrewaving, let potatoes stand for 5

minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

Circuit breaker

or fuse box %

If your electric power

line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts,

cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified

electrician check your electrical system.

Your microwave oven is designed to make your cooking experience as enjoyable and productive as

possible. To help get you up and running quickly,

the following is a list of the oven's basic features:

! Door Handle. Pull to open door.

2 Door Safety Lock System. The oven will not

operate unless the door is securely closed.

3 Window with Metal Shield. Shield prevents

microwaves from escaping. It is designed as a screen to allow you to view food as it cooks.

4 Glass Turntable (PN 4393751) (not shown).

Included in oven cavity - see below for

installation instructions. This turntable turns food as it cooks for more even cooking. It must

be in the oven during operation for best cooking results. The turntable is sunken into the cavity

floor to give you more cooking space and better cooking results. See Pages 8, 11, 30, 34, and 35

for more details.

To install turntable and support:

• Fit the hub (PN 4393754 onto the shaft.

• Place the support
