Microwave Oven Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kilt or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow immediately instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

Atl safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

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.

• Read and follow the specific

"PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in this section.

• The microwave oven must be grounded.

Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found

at the end of this section.

• Install or locate the microwave oven only in

accordance with the provided installation instructions.

Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and

should not be heated in the microwave oven.

• Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use

corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

• Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working propedy, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

• Do not store anything directly on topof the microwave oven when the microwave oven isin

operation.

• Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

• Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water for example,

near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar location.

• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

• Do not mount over a sink.

• Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

• Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of

the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the

container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. This could result in very hot

liquids suddenly boiling over when a spoon or

other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To reduce the risk of injury to persons.

1) Do not overheat the liquid.

2) Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it.

3) Do not use straight-sided containers with

narrow necks.

4) After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before

removing the container.

5) Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

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.

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

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.

TheULTRAWAVETM InverterMicrowaveSystem deliverspowercontinuously,todefrostmoreevenlyand

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.

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

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.

Have a qualified electrician checkyour electrical system.

cooking. Each number from 1to 9 standsfor a different percentage of full cook power.

The following table gives the percentage of cook power each number pad stands for, and the cook power

name usually used.

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.

This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food.

DEFROST and Time counting down

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.

2. HOLD WARM

Atthe end ofthe holdwarm, four tones will sound.

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.
