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 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. 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

properly, or if it has been damaged or

dropped.

• Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in

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

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.

Ensure proper ground

exists before use

SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS

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. 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 is not 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, butyou can see what they do. A magnetron in the microwaveoven produces

microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Magnetron

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 passthrough mostglass, paper, and

plasticswithout heating themso food absorbs the

energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does notabsorb 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 minimizeovercookingoffoodandmessyfoodspatters.

to varioustypesandamountsoffood. Sensorcooking takesthe guessworkoutof microwavecooking.

For the best cooking results

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time

recommended. Check to see howthe 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

isevenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax

paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plasticwrap. Remember to turn back a corner of

the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

Radio interference

Usingyour microwaveovenmay causeinterference

to your radio,TV, or similarequipment.Whenthereis

interference,you canreduceit or removeit by:

•Cleaning thedoorand sealingsurfacesof the oven.

•Adjusting the receivingantennaofthe radioor television.

• Movingthereceiverawayfrom the microwaveoven.

• Pluggingthe microwaveoven intoa differentoutlet so that themicrowaveovenand receiverare on

differentbranch 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 ofwater beside it. 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 on the door or allow a childto swing on it when the door is open.

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

• Do not use newspaper or other printedpaper 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 normal for theoven 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 in a 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 in the

oven. Handle your turntable with 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 3A6 inchabove the

turntable. Follow the directionssupplied with the

browningdish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

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 possiblydamage 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 beforecutting into

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 during or after heatingor when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). Thiscan 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, orfor 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 cookingtime, potatoes shouldbe slightlyfirm because they will continue 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.

Time counting down and DEFROST.

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 d 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 net weight in pounds and tenths d pounds (theweight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed any

of the metaltwist-ties which often come with frozen food bags,and replace them with strings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers suchas cartons beforethey are placedin the oven.

•Always slit or pierceplastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foiland place itin e

suitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as

sausage.

• Bend plasticpouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted

food is stillicy in the center, return it tothe

microwave ovenfor moredefrosting.

• The length ofdefrosting timevaries according to howsolidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affectshow quicklyfood

will defrost. Shallow packages willdefrost more

quicklythan a deep block.

• Asfood begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated piecesdefrost moreeasily.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more informationon standing time, seethe

"MicrowaveCooking Tips" section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting orstanding time. Break apartand remove food as required.

You can safelykeep hot,cooked foodwarm in your

microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds (about 1 hour,40 minutes). You can use Hold Warm

byitself, or to automaticallyfollow a cooking cycle. Example for hold warm:

Touch:

1. WArM

2. H,.&.,w'RE;,

At the end ofthe hold warm, "END" willbe

displayed and 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

continuesto run.

•You can set Hold Warmto follow Auto Defrost, 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 and touch Hold Warm, then touch START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

•Food cooked covered should be covered during Hold Warm.

•Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) shouldbe uncovered during HoldWarm.

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

•Do not use more than onecomplete Hold Warm cycle (about 1hour,40 minutes). The quality of

some foods willsuffer with extended time.

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 doneness 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:

1. Place the food in the oven and

close the door.

Display Shows:

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 1second. 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 your favorite

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 humidity coming

from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to

heat. The display will show the remaining heat time. For best results by Sensor, following these

recommendations.

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

• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry

to assure best cooking results.

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

• Do not open the door or touch the "STOPtCLEAR" 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 to stir, turn, or

rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers andcoverings help assure

good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavablecontainers and cover

them with lidsor vented plasticwrap.

• Never use tight-sealingplasticcovers. They can preventsteam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

• Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and

the inside of the microwave oven are dry before

placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture tuming into steam can mislead the sensor.
