- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

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.

(e) 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.

Electrical requirements

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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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 can

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman ifthe

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

serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven. For a permanently connected appliance:

This microwave oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or

an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. Italso shows you the basics you need to

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

How your microwave oven works

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 sea 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 itturns 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

_(- ("m

Ovencavity

"Metal floor Glass turntable

How your microwave oven works (cont.)

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and

plastics without heating them so food absorbs

the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal con-

tainers 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 inregular oven

cooking. This isone

I 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 inthe

food. As the molecules bounce around bumping

into each other, heat ismade, like rubbing your hands together. This is the heat that does

the cooking.

NOTE: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. If needed, touch ADD ONE MINUTE while

the oven isoperating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Using ADD ONE MINUTE" section).

=To help make sure the food isevenly 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 comer of

the plastic wrap _Ato _.,_inch to vent steam during heating or cooking.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there

is interference, you can reduce itor remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealingsurfaces of

the oven.

* Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio

or television.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about I 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" inthe "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 orTV

are on different branch circuits.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

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.

Operating safety precautions

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

j shell. Steam buildupin whole eggs may

cause them to burst and burn you, and

possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled

eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached

eggs have been known

_ to explode. Cover

allow a standing time of 1 minute before cutting

into them. For best results, stir any liquid several times

(coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven and possibly injure someone.

poached eggs and

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

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 orallow a child to swing on it

when the door is open.

Injurycould result.

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat

containers, but the heat

from the food can make the container hot.

afety precautions (cont.)

Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could result. At

the end of the recom- mended cooking time,

potatoes should be slightly firm because

they will continue cook- ing during standing

time. After micro-

waving, let potatoes

stand for 5 minutes.

They will finish cooking while standing.

Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty.

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 use newspaper or other printed paper in the

oven. Fire could result.

Do not dry flowers,

fruit, herbs, wood,

paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven.

Fire could result.

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 operate the microwave oven unless the

glass turntable is

securely in place and can rotate freely on the support rollers. The

turntable can rotate in

either direction.

Make sure the rollers

are completely inside the center circle of the

turntable; this will let the turntable rotate properly.

Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the

oven. Carefully place the cookware on your turntable to avoid possibly breaking it.

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/_6inch (.5 cm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the

browning dish.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is

Circuit breaker or fuse box

less than 110 volts,

cooking times may be

longer. Have a qualified electrician check your.

electrical system.

Cooking at different cooS: p( wets

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 micro-

wave cookbook recipes tell you by number,

percent, or name which cook power to use,

COOK POWER NAME WHEN TO USE IT 10=100% of full 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-H_gh - Cooking and heating foods that need a cook

6=60% of full power * Cooking sensitive foods, such as cheese and egg

5=50% of full power Medium - Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts

4=40% of full power • Simmering stews

3=30% of full power Medium-low, • Defrosting foods, such as bread, fish, meats,

Defrost poultry, and precooked foods

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.
