microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
If the microwave oven light fails, consult a Sears parts &
repair center.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR WALL OVEN
,, Use Care When Opening an Oven DooriStand to the
side of the appliance when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
,, Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual, improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
iMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR WALL OVEN
,, Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.
SELF-CLEANING WALL OVEN MODELS
* Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts of the
appliance listed in this Owner's Guide. Before using
the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove all utensils
stored in the appliance.
,, Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket
,, Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the appliance
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The wall oven is
vented at the upper control panel or at the center trim
depending of the model. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the wall oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
,, Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot
holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or
interior of the oven.
,, Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.

aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
,, Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing the bulb.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any wall oven. Move birds to another well
ventilated room.

Microwave Oven important information
Radio or TV interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is
on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as
far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUTYOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read itcarefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook isa valuable asset. Check itfor
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be
placed inthe microwave oven. The turntable will turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when itis on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for
the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture infood will influencethe amount of
moisture that condenses inthe microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not
be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test Procedure
at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package directions, check
food a minute or two before the minimum time setting elapses
and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
,,Arrange foodcarefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of
dish.
,,Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time
indicatedand add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
,,Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
,,Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas of
meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.
,,Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during
cooking, if possible.
,,Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
,,Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the
outside.
,,Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of the
oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improvingthe cooking results.
For insideoven standing time, you can program a "0" power
stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
,,Check for doneness. Look for signs indicatingthat
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish isopaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT FOODS
,,Do not pop popcorn inyour microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
,,Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers--
for example, closed jars--will explode and should not be
heated inthis microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result ininjury.
,,Do not boil eggs ina microwave oven. Pressure will build up
insideegg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in
injury.
,,Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a
minute or two may cause damage to the microwave oven
and could start a fire. Itincreasesthe heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
,,Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot dogs,
sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets,
and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape
during cooking.
,,Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off.
Make sure all infant food isthoroughly cooked. Stir food to
distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding
when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel
cooler than the milk really is.Always test the milk before
feeding the baby.
,,Spontaneous boiling--Under certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the
microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we
recommend the following: before removing the container from
the microwave oven, allow the container to stand inthe
microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the microwave
oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in narrownecked
containers such as soft drink bottles, wine flasks and
especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even ifthe container is
opened, excessive steam can build upand cause itto burst or
overflow.
,,Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even ifthe container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container
to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
,,Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, includingpopcorn bags,
cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury,
direct steam away from hands and face.
,,Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch
fire, causing damage to your microwave oven.
,,Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160Y2Fand poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 170Y2F.Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Microwave Oven important information (coot oued)
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces al-
ready inyour kitchen can be used successfully in your new mi-
crowave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior
walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware ®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
,,metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check ifa dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish inthe microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that isspecially marked for microwave use can
be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic
wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because
heat iskept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember
to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
ove n:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are eitherdefrostingor
cookingtoo quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inchto any surface of
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase
so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer
will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you
that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sears is
not responsible for any damage to the microwave oven
when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the
same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven isnot a toy.
See page 15 for Child Lock feature.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures.
160Y2F- For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165Y2F- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and dell
and carry-out "fresh" food.
170Y2F- White meat of poultry.
175Y2F- Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, inserta meat thermometer in a thick or
dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the
thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are incontact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly liftthe farthestedge of a dish'scovering and
carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from
the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it's inuse and check
cooking progress frequently so that there isno chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other
items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven
so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST
TABLE or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the
DEFROST TABLE, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by
using Power Level for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure
found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and
press Power Level pad eight times for 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is
approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes
for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of
the estimated defrosting time, program the microwave oven in 1
minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long
enough to remove food from the plastic in order to place in a
microwave-safe dish.
Microwave Operating instructions
Special Features
SENSOR COOKING
The Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it
heats, and then adjusts the cooking times and power level
for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes
before using SENSOR COOKING.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The microwave oven works with foods at normal
storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be
at room temperature, frozen dinner would be at
freezer temperature.
4. Any SENSOR COOKING selection can be
programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See
page 16.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the Sensor
Cooking Table should be cooked following the
guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of SENSOR COOKING, food
selection name will appear on the display. Do not open
the microwave oven door or touch Stop/Clear during
this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor
will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will
appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad
and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may
be opened when remaining cooking time appears on
the display. At this time, you may stir or season food,
as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the microwave oven will turn off, and
the correct time of day will be displayed. Ifthe sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave
oven will turn off.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook
manually.
9. Each food selection pad has a cooking hint. Touch
Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
IMPORTANT OPERATION NOTE: You must touch a
Sensor Cooking pad within 3 minutes of opening and
closing the oven door at the beginning of a new cooking
cycle. If you do not, the pad will not work until you touch
Stop/Clear.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the SENSOR COOKING TABLE for
these foods.
1.Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3.Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,
overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam
to escape away from you.
EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by touching just one pad. You
don't need to calculate cooking time or power level.
Suppose you want to reheat chili.
Touch Reheat pad.
When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food,
remainder of reheating time will appear.
