• 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.

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 '■

°'

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.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes,

you prepare, fhe fime it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time.

Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more

time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put

into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be re-heated more

quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand after cooking inside as

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated

faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to

heat. ‘‘Very dense” food like meat takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge

cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger

pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cook more

evenly than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the

thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in

the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to

the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

• The length of the standing time depends on how

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You

can do this in several ways;

• If you are cooking several items of the same

• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or

• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the

• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves pass through. See “Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven” for materials that microwaves will pass through. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure to vent.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave

oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food which is prepackaged in an

aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on

the package. When using aluminum foil containers,

cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

well as outside the oven. Standing time after

defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that It covers the bottom of the container,

not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) high. This ensures

even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the

oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 64 in. (1.9 cm).

• Container must be at least half filled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4 in.

(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the

walls of the oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable.

• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry with small pieces of

aluminum foil.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually

takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so

that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn, Remove the rack from the oven; Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcorn with rack can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is ditficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

• Do not deep fry foods.

DEFROSTING TIPS

HOLD WARM

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be

entered is the net weight 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 repiace them with strings or eiastic bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they

are piaced in the oven.

‘ Aiways siit or pierce plastic pouches or

packaging.

> If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in

a suitable container.

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

sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

> Always underestimate defrosting time. If

defrosted food is stiii icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting,

• The length of defrosting time varies according to

how solidly the food is frozen.

‘ The shape of the package affects how quickly

food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost

more quickly than a deep block.

> As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

■ 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.

> For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

(For more information on standing time, see the

“Microwave Cooking Tips” section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing

time. Break apart and remove food as required.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your

microwave oven for up to 90 minutes (1 hour, 30 minutes). You can use Hold Warm by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.

Example: To use the hold warm.

Touch: Display Shows:

Hold

Warm

At the end of the hold warm, “COOK END” will be displayed and four tones will sound.

To make Hold Warm automatically follow another cycle:

• While you are touching in cooking instructions,

touch Hold Warm before touching START/Enter.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will hear

two tones. “Hold Warm” will come on while the oven continues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost, Cook, or multi-cycle cooking.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operates for up to 90 minutes

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close

the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch START/Enter if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

Hold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be

uncovered during Hold Warm.

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

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm

cycle (about 1 hour, 30 minutes). The quality of some foods will suffer with extended time.

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 heating 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 “STOP/clear”

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 and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.

* Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can

prevent steam 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

turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should

maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or soft cloth.

Use only mild,

nonabrasive soaps or a mild detergent. Be sure

to keep the areas clean where the door and oven frame touch when closed. Wipe well

with clean cloth. Over time, stains can occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles spattering during cooking. This is normal.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.

Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors

inside the oven, boil a cup of water with some

lemon juice or vinegar in

it.

For exterior surfaces and control panel: Use

a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel wool

pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc.,

can dam-age the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking

in more than one container at the same time.

1. Place rack securely in the four plasfic supports.

microwave oven.

2. Place equal amounfs of food both above and

below rack.

NOTE: If the rack will not be used for extended

periods remove the metal rack from the oven and

store it.

To avoid risk of property damage:

1. Do not cook with rack on floor of fhe oven.

2. Use the metal rack when cooking equal amounts of food at the same time.

3. Do not use rack to pop popcorn.

4. Rack must be on the four plastic supports when used.

5. Remove metal rack when not in use.

To clean turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy

water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

Questions and Answers

QUESTIONS ANSWERS

Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?

Can 1 use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that 1 hear when my microwave oven is operating?

Why does the dish become hot when 1 microwave food in it? 1 thought that this should not happen.

What does “standing time” mean?

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3^4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

“Standing time” means that it allow food to stand for additional time after cooking inside as well as outside the oven. This frees the oven for other cooking.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Why does the exhaust fan turn on by itself?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents.

If the temperature from the range or cooktop below the oven gets too hot, the exhaust fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the

LEVEL 4 setting to protect the oven.

It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven. When this occurs, the pad will not turn the fan off. You cannot turn the exhaust fan off during microwave cooking.
