0n.
Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based
oven cleaners, may damage the filter.
Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should
not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may
create a fire or risk of electric shock.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can
burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving
a risk of electric shock.
Do not store any materials, other than
manufacturer's recommended accessories in this
oven when not in use.
Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven
with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the
oven.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) 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
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front
face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c} 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:
(1) door (bent),
(2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
Installation Requirements
Before installing your microwave hood combination, make sure your location meets these requirements. See
the Installation Instructions for details.
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 over 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, it 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

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
_k_ 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.
_;O _i..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.
I(}
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 ram) 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
microwaving, 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.

For best results, some recipes call for different cook
powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the
cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a
different percentage of cook power. Many
microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number,
percent, or name which cook power to use.
COOK POWER NAME WHEN TO USE IT
10=100% of fult power High _ Quick heating many convenience foods and
(automatic) foods with high water content, such as soups
9=90% of full power _ Heating cream soups
8=80% of full power _ Heating rice, pasta, or stirrable casseroles
7=70% of full power Medium-High _ Cooking and heating foods that need a cook
6=60% of full power _ Cooking sensitive foods, such as cheese and egg
The following chart gives the percentage of cook
power each Number pad stands for, and the cook
power name usually used. It also tells you when to
use each cook power. Follow recipe or food package
instructions if available.
H©T_;%Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times.

or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil
does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of
the oven.
