Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
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
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light
waves. 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 the turntable.
Magnetron
-----1-------------------

V2=============7
Motai floor Glass turntable
t '■
°'
*
L
Oven cavity
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
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so
food does not absorb the energy.
Sensor Cooking
The Microwave System features Sensor Cooking
functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects
moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats.
The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and
amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork
out of microwave cooking.
For the best cooking resuits
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking lime
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 comer of the
plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause interference to
your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is
interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
' Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
' Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
Testing your microwave oven
To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a
glass container in the oven. Close the door and make
sure it latches.
Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is
up, the water should be healed.
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch 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 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.)
and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal
containers not designed for microwave use could
damage the oven, as could containers with hidden
metal (twist-lies, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or
trim).
absorb microwave energy, becoming loo hot to handle
Operating safety precautions
> Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it
when the door is open.
> Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heal
containers, but the heal 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 is empty.
Product life may be shortened. If you practice
programming the oven, put a container of water in
the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy
after the oven has been running for a while.
> Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin
wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it
allows microwaves to pass through it.
> Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass
turntable is securely in place and can move freely.
The turntable can move in either direction. Make
sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.
Handle your turntable with care when removing it
from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your
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/ie inch above the turntable.
Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.
> Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the
shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them
to burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hardboiled eggs before healing. 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 (especially containers shaped like
cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may
splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or
when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags,
etc.). This can harm the oven.
> Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast.
The heal spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cooking. This is
one 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 lime.
> Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils
are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain
appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
> Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightly firm because they will continue cooking
during standing lime. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking
while standing.
Electrical connection
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less
than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer.
Have a qualified electrician check your electrical
system.
