Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill 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.
All 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.

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
properly, or if it has been damaged or

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 information before you use your oven.
HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Microwave energy isnot hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it'sthis heatthat cooks the food.
Microwaves are likeTV waves, radio waves, or
lightwaves. You cannot seethem, but you can see
what they do.
A magnetron inthe microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven
where they contact food as itturns on the turntable.
Magnet_on
Oven cavity
Metal floor Glass tray
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounceoff a
metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by thefood.
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 cookingtime
recommended.Check tosee how the food is

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange thefood being

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax
paper,or microwave-approved paper towelsor
plasticwrap. Remember toturnback a cornerof
the plasticwrapto vent steam during cooking.
Radio interference
Usingyour microwaveoven may causeinterference
to your radio,TV, or similarequipment.Whenthere is
interference,you canreduce itor removeit by:
•Cleaning thedoorand sealingsurfacesof theoven.
•Adjusting the receivingantennaof the radioor

• Movingthereceiverawayfrom themicrowaveoven.
• Pluggingthe microwaveoven intoadifferentoutlet

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,
Operating safety precautions
• Never lean on the door or allow a childto swing
on it when the door isopen.
• 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 dry flowers, fruit,herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in theoven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when itis empty.
Product lifemay be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a containerof water in
the oven. It is normalfor the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been runningfor a while.
• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven.
Paraffinwax will not melt ina microwave oven
because itallows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unless the
glass turntable issecurely in place and can move
freely.The turntable can move in either direction.
Make sure theturntable iscorrect-side up inthe
oven. Handle your turntablewith care when
removing itfrom the oven to avoid possibly
breakingit. Ifyour turntable cracks or breaks,
contact your dealer for a replacement.
•When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inchabove the
turntable. Follow the directionssupplied with the
browningdish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for
microwave use coulddamage theoven, as could
containers with hidden metal(twist-ties,foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, and possibly damage theoven.
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, stirany liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heatedin
certain containers(especially containersshaped
likecylinders) may become overheated. The liquid
may splash outwith a loud noise during or after
heatingor when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.
• Microwaves may not reachthe center of a roast.
The heatspreads tothe center from the outer,
cooked areasjust as in regular oven cooking. This
isone ofthe reasons for lettingsome foods(for
example, roastsor baked potatoes)stand for a
whileafter cooking, or for stirring some foods
during the cooking time.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensilsare notsuitable and it is difficultto
maintain appropriate deep-fryingtemperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes shouldbe
slightlyfirm because they willcontinue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoesstand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cooking while standing.

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 beentered
is the netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight 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 beforethey are
placed in the oven.
•Always slit or pierce plasticpouchesor packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foiland place itin a
suitable container.
• Slitthe skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plasticpouchesof food to ensure even
defrosting.
•Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted
food is still icyinthe center,return it to the
microwave oven for moredefrosting.
•The length ofdefrosting time varies according to
howsolidly the food is frozen.
•The shape of the package affects how quicklyfood
will defrost. Shallow packages willdefrost more
quicklythan a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost moreeasily.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shieldparts
offood such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areasthat start to getwarm. Make sure thefoil does
nottouch thesides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, letfood stand after defrosting.
(For more informationon standing time, seethe
"MicrowaveCooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food dudng defrosting or standing time.
Break apartand remove food as required.
You can safely keep hot, cooked foodwarm in your
microwave oven for up to 99 minL_es,99 seconds
(about I hour,40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm
byitself,or to automaticallyfollow a cooking cycle.

To make Hold Warm
automaticallyfollow another cycle:
•While you are touching in cooking instructions,
touch HOLDWARM beforetouching START.
• When the lastcooking cycle is over,youwillhear
two tones. "Hold Warm"will come on whilethe oven
continuesto run.
•You can set Hold Warm to follow AL_ODefrost,
Cook, or multi-cycle cooking.
NOTES:
•Hold Warm operates for upto 99 minutes, 99
seconds.
•Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm.
Close the door andtouch Hold Warm, then touch
START ifadditional Hold Warm timeis desired.
•Food cooked covered should be coveredduring
Hold Warm.
•Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) shouldbe
uncovered during HoldWarm.
•Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate
should be covered dudngHold Warm.
•Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm
cycle (about I hour,40 minutes). The quality of
some foods willsuffer with extended time.
19
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
closethe 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 to cook most of yourfavorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power
levels.The oven automatically determines required
cooking time for each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount of humiditycoming
from the food, itwill tell the oven howmuch longer to
heat. The display will show the remaining heattime.
For best resultsby Sensor, following these
recommendations.
• Foodcooked with the sensor system should be at
normal storage temperature.
• GlassTray and outside ofcontainer should be dry
to assure best cooking results.
• Foodsshould always be covered looselywith
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 willappear in the display window. At
this time you canopen the door to stir,turn, or
rearrange the food.
SENSOR COOKING GUIDE
Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavablecontainers and cover
them with lidsor vented plasticwrap.
• Neveruse tight-sealingplastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escapingand cause food to
overcook.
• Matchthe amount to the size of the container.
Fillcontainers at least halffullfor best results.
• Besurethe outside ofthe cooking container and
the inside ofthe microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into steam can mislead the sensor.
POTATO (EXAMPLE)
Sensor cook allows you to cook mostof your
favoritefoods withoutselecting cooking times and
power levels.
