IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the

following:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns,

electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:

• Read all instructions before using the

microwave oven.

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.

Electrical

requirements

Observe all governing codes and
ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,
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.

(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.

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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

6

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:

The 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.

Gettingto Know Your

MicrowaveOven

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 informationbefore you use your oven.

HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causesfood to make
itsown heat, and it'sthis heatthat cooks the food.
Microwavesare like"iV waves, radio waves, or

lightwaves. 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 itturns on the turntable.

Magnetron

Oven cavity

Metal floor G_asstray

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.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and

plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so

food does not absorb the energy.

ULTRA WAVE TM Inverter Microwave System
ULTRA WAVETM Inverter Microwave System gives

you better microwave cooking performance for
defrosting, cooking and reheating foods quickly

and uniformly.

The ULTRA WAVETM Inverter Microwave System

is proven technology that delivers a constant
stream of microwave power - true high, medium,

and low power.

Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH
power only. To achieve a 70% power level in a

conventional microwave oven, the oven operates

70% of the time at HIGH power and 30% of the

time OFF.

For the best cooking results

•Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is

cooking.

•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being
cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for all recipes. This will help make sure the food
is evenly cooked.

•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 to vent steam during cooking.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish for safe use, putit into the oven with a
cup of water besideit.Cook at 100% cook power
for one minute.If the dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean onthe door or allow a child to swing
on it whenthe door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, butthe heat from the food can make
the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in
the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty.

Product life may be shortened. Ifyou practice
programming the oven, put a container ofwater in

the oven. It is normalfor the oven door to look
wavy after the oven hasbeen running for a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will notmelt ina microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe
glass turntable is securelyin placeand can move
freely. The turntable can move in eitherdirection.

Make sure the turntable iscorrect-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

removing it from the ovento avoid possibly
breaking it.Ifyour turntable cracks or breaks,

contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottommust be atleast 3/16 inchabovethe

turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the

browningdish.

• Never cook or reheat awhole egg inside the

becoming too hotto handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking inmetal containers not designed for
microwave use could damage the oven, as could
containerswith hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining,
staples, metallicglaze or trim).

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 one minute before cutting into

them.

•For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especiallycontainers shaped
likecylinders) may become overheated.The liquid
may splash out with a loud noiseduringor after
heating or when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.

•Microwaves may not reach thecenter ofa roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areasjust as inregularoven cooking. This
isone 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
utensilsare not suitable and itisdifficult to

maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

•Do not overcook potatoes. At the end ofthe
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightlyfirm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outletvoltage is
less than 110volts, cooking times may be longer.

AUTO DEFROST

Four 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.

Operating Tips

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (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.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in
pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for

example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in
order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must

specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a

pound, you can use the following table to convert the
weight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM

•When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered
isthe netweight in poundsand tenths of pounds

(theweight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting,make sure you have removed any

of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen
food bags, and replacethem with strings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placedin the oven.

•Always slit or pierceplastic pouches orpackaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place itin a

suitable container.

• Slitthe skins, if any, of frozen food such as

sausage.

• Bend plasticpouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted

food is still icy in the center, return it tothe

microwave oven formore defrosting.

•The length of defrostingtime vades according to
how solidly thefood is frozen.

•The shape of the package affects howquickly food
willdefrost. Shallow packages will defrostmore
quicklythan a deep block.

•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrostmore easily.

•Use small pieces of aluminumfoil to shield parts
offood such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,or

areasthat startto get warm. Make sure the foildoes
nottouch the sides,top, or bottom ofthe oven. The

foOlcan damage the oven lining.

•For better results, let foodstand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

"Microwave CookingTips" section.)

•Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Breakapart and remove food as required.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your
microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds

(about 1 hour, 40 minutes).You can use Hold Warm
by itself, or to automaticallyfollow a cooking cycle.

Example for holdwarm.

To make Hold Warm
automaticallyfollow another cycle:

•While you are touching in cooking instructions,
touch HOLD WARM before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear
two tones."Hold Warm" will come on while the oven

continues to run.

•You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost,
Cook, or multi-cyclecooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99
seconds.

•Opening the oven door cancels HoldWarm.
Close thedoor and touch HoldWarm, then touch

START ifadditional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

HoldWarm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be
uncovered dudng Hold Warm.

•Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate
should be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not usemore than one complete HoldWarm
cycle (about I hour, 40 minutes). The quality of
some foods will sufferwith extendedtime.

SURE SIMMER

Your microwave oven lets you simmer soups,
casseroles, stews, and other liquid foods. All you do

is set a simmer time and your oven will bring your

food to a boil and then simmer it for the time you
specify.

NOTES:

•You cannot change the cook power or aloneness
for Sure Simmer.

•This function uses the sensor. The sensor needs
2 minutes 30 seconds to warm up after the oven

is connected to power or after a power failure.
If you start Sure Simmer during the warm up,

microwave energy will not be turned on until the

sensor is warm.

•When cooking vegetables, increase amount of
water to 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125ml).

• Cover dish with a hard lid, i.e., the lid that comes
with the dish or a dinner plate. Do not use plastic

wrap.

Touch: Display Shows:

1. Place the food in the oven and

close the door.

When simmering foods like pasta use a container
that can hold enough water to cover the food
completely when cooking, such as a 3-quart (12 cup)
casserole with a lid. When cooking pasta or noodles,

add 1 tbsp (15ml) oil to the water before boiling.
Use the following method:

Place container with water in the oven and follow
steps 2~4, setting the simmer time at 1 second. At

the end of the signal, place the food in the water and
stir until completely covered by water. Cover. Repeat

steps 2~4, setting the simmer time you want.
Changing instructions you can change the simmering

time while simmering by repeating steps 2, 3, and 4.

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you tocook most ofyour favorite
foods withoutselecting cooking times and power
levels.The oven automatically determines required

cooking time for eachfood item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount of humiditycoming
from the food, itwill tell the oven how much longer to

heat. The display will show the remainingheat time.
For best resultsby Sensor, followingthese

recommendations.

• Food cooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.

• GlassTray and outside of container should be dry
to assure best cooking results.

• Foodsshould always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.

• Do not open the door or touch the "STOP/CLEAR"
key during the sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window. At

this time you can open the door tostir, turn, or
rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

• Never usetight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

• Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fillcontainers at least halffull for best results.

• Be surethe outside of the cooking container and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placingfood in the oven. Beads of moisture turning

into steam can mislead the sensor.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

•Ifyou increase or decrease the amount of food
you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will

also change. Forexample, if you double a recipe,
add a little more than halfthe originalcooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary,add more

time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

•The lower the temperature ofthe food being put
intothe microwave oven, the longer it takesto cook.
Food at room temperature will be re-heated more

quicklythan food at refrigeratortemperature.

Composition of food

•Food with a lotof fat and sugar willbeheated
fasterthan food containing a lot of water. Fat and
sugarwill also reach a higher temperature than

water in the cooking process.

•The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. "Very dense"food likemeat takes longerto

heat than lighter, more porous food likesponge
cakes.

Size and shape

•Smaller pieces of food willcookfaster thanlarger
pieces.Also, same-shaped pieces cookmore
evenly than different-shaped pieces.

•With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner partswill cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinnerparts of chicken wings and legsin
the center ofthe dish.

Stirring,turning foods

•Stirring and turning foods spreadsheatquickly to
the center ofthe dish and avoids overceoking at the
outer edges of the food.

Releasingpressure in foods

• Several foods (forexample:baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the
foodto burst. To relievethe pressure and to prevent

bursting,pierce these foods before cooking with a
fork,cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standingtime

•Always allow food to stand aftercooking.
Standingtime after defrostingand cooking allows

thetemperature to evenly spread throughout the
food, improving the cooking results.

•The length of the standing time depends on how
much food you are cooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes
you to remove the food from the oven and take itto

the serving table. However, with larger, denser food,
the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

Forbest results, placefood evenly on the plate. You
cando this inseveral ways:

•If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes,place them ina dng

pattern for uniform cooking.

•When cooking foods of uneven shapes or
thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the

smaller or thinner area of the foodtowards the
center of thedish where itwill be heated last.

•Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

•When you cook or reheat whole fish, scorethe
skin - this preventscracking.

•Do not letfood or a container touch the top or sides
ofthe oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Covering food

Cover food to:

•Reduce splattering

•Shorten cookingtimes

•Keep food moist

You can use any coveringthat lets microwaves pass
through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave
Oven" for materials that microwaves will pass

through. If you are using the Sensorfunction, be sure
to vent.

Using aluminumfoil

Metal containersshould not be used in a microwave
oven. There are, however, some exceptions. Ifyou

have purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foilcontainer, refer to the instructions on

the package. When using aluminum foil containers,

cooking times may be longer because microwaves

will only penetrate the top ofthe food. Ifyou use

aluminum containers withoL_package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

31

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place thecontainer in a glass bowl and add come
water so that itcovers the bottom of the container,

not more than 1/4in.(.64cm) high.This ensures
even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoiddamage tothe
oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not usecontainers taller than 3/4in. (1.9 cm).

• Container must beat least half filled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in.
(.64cm) between the aluminum container end the

walls ofthe oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

• Always placethe containeron the turntable.

• Shield with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of
food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and

leg ends of poultry.

• Heating food inaluminum foilcontainers usually
takes up to double the time compared to reheating

inplastic,glass,china, or paper containers.

The time when food isready will vary depending

upon the type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so
that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Removing the rack

•When poppingcommercially packagedpopcorn,
Remove the rack from the oven; Do not placethe

bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the
rack.

• Inthe case of popping microwave popcorn with
rack, that can cause the fire or damage to your

microwave oven.

Cookingyou should not do in your

microwave oven

• Do not do canning offoods inthe oven. Closed

glassjars may explode, resulting indamageto the

oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven tosterilize objects
(baby bottles, etc.). It isdifficultto keep the oven at

the high temperature needed for sterilization.
