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 ULTRA WAVE™ 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
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 the turntable.
Magnetron
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.
ULTRA WAVE™ Inverter Microwave System
ULTRA WAVE™ Inverter Microwave System gives
you better microwave cooking performance for
defrosting, cooking and reheating foods quickly
and uniformly.
The ULTRA WAVE™ 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.
100% 100% 0% 100%;
The ULTRA WAVE™ Inverter Microwave System
delivers power continuously, to defrost more evenly and
minimize overcooking of food and messy food spatters.
70%
100%
Sensor Cooking
The ULTRA WAVE™ Inverter Microwave System fea
tures 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 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 a corner 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
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
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.
Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 1 minute.
When the time is up, the water should be heated.
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.) absorb microwave energy.
becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for
microwave use could damage the oven, as could
containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
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 heat
containers, but the heat 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 3/16 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 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 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 heat 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 time.
' 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 time. 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.
