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,
15 or 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
Do not use an extension cord. tf 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. 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 MICROWAVE HOOD
COMBINATION WORKS
Microwaveenergy is not hot. Itcauses food to make
itsown heat, and it's thisheat that cooks thefood.
Microwavesare like TV waves, radiowaves, 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 it turns on theglass tray.
Magnetron
Metal floor G_ass tray
The glass tray of yourmicrowave oven lets
microwavespass through. Then they bounce off a
metalfloor, back throughthe glasstray, and
are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plasticswithout heating them sofood absorbsthe
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containersso
food does not absorb theenergy.
Oven cavity
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 abouthalfway through the cooking time
for allrecipes. Thiswill helpmake sure the food is
evenly cooked.
• Ifyou do not have a cover for a dish, usewax
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 microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio,TV, or similar equipment. When there
is interference, you can reduce itor remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfacesof the
oven.
•Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
Testing your microwave oven

I otest the oven putabout 1cup of cold water in a
make sure it latches.
•Moving the receiverawayfrom the microwave
oven.
• Pluggingthe microwaveoven into adifferent
outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are
on differentbranch circuits.
Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is
up, the water should be heated.
I
Testing your dinnerware or cookware
Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish forsafe use, put it into theoven with a
cup of water 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 leanonthe door or allow achild toswing
on itwhen thedoor isopen.
• Use hot pads. Microwaveenergy does not heat
containers, butthe heatfrom 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 microwaveoven when itis empty.
Product lifemay be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in
the oven. It is normalfor the oven door to look
wavy after the oven has been running for awhile.
• Do not tryto melt paraffinwax in the oven.
Paraffinwax will not melt in a microwave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe
glass tray is securely in placeand can move
freely. The glass tray can move in either direction.
Makesure the glasstray is correct-side up in the
oven. Handle your glass tray with care when
removing itfrom the ovento avoidpossibly
breaking it. Ifyour glass tray 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 inch above the
glass tray. Followthe directions supplied with the
browningdish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
becoming too hot to handleand slowing cooking
times. Cooking in metalcontainers not designed for
microwave use could damage the oven, as could
containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallicglaze or trim).
shell, Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, and possiblydamage the oven.
81icehard-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 cuttinginto
them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containersshaped
likecylinders) may become overheated.The liquid
may splash out with a loud noise during or after
heatingor when adding ingredients(coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or
damage the oven.
• Microwaves may not reach thecenter ofa roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areasjust as in regularoven cooking. This
is one of the reasons for lettingsome 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 it is difficult to
maintain appropriatedeep-frying temperatures.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightlyfirm because they will continue cooking
during standing time.After microwaving, let
potatoesstand for 5 minutes. They will finish
cookinq while standinq.
