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.

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

particulady important that the oven door close
propedy 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 KnowYour

MicrowaveOven

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 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 heat thatcooks the food.
Microwavesare like"iV waves, radio waves, or

lightwaves. You cannotsee them, but you can see

what theydo.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces

microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven

where they contactfood as itturns onthe turntable.

Magnetron

_m

Metal floor G{ass tray

The glassturntable of your microwave oven lets

microwaves pass through.Then theybounceoffa
metal floor,backthrough the glassturntable, and

are absorbed by thefood.
Microwaves passthrough most glass, paper, and

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

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 aconstant
stream of microwave power - true high, medium,

and low power.

Oven cavity

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 acorner of
the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean onthe dooror allow a child to swing
on it when thedoor is open.

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

• Do not use newspaperorother printed paperin
the oven.

• Do not dry flowers,fruit, herbs,wood,paper,
gourds, orclothes inthe oven.

• Do not start amicrowave oven when it isempty.

Product life maybeshortened. Ifyou practice
programming the oven,put a container ofwater in

the oven. Itis normalfor the oven doorto look
wavy after the oven hasbeen running for a while.

• Do not tryto melt paraffinwax inthe oven.

Paraffin waxwillnotmelt ina microwave oven
because it allowsmicrowaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe
glass turntable is securely in place and can move
freely. The turntable can move ineitherdirection.

Make sure the turntable iscorrect-side up inthe

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

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

contact your dealerfor areplacement.

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

turntable. Follow the directions suppliedwiththe

browningdish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

times. Cookinginmetal containersnot 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 knownto
explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a
standing timeofone minute before cuttinginto

them.

•For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especiallycontainersshaped
likecylinders) may become overheated.The liquid
may splash outwith a loud noise duringor 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, roastsor baked potatoes)stand fora
while after cooking,or for stirring some foods
during the cookingtime.

•Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensilsare not suitable and itisdifficult to

maintain appropriate deep-fryingtemperatures.

•Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightlyfirm because theywill continuecooking
during standingtime. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes.They willfinish
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.

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.
