Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave

on a different ebctrbal circuit, relocate the radio or TV as
far away from the microwave oven as feasibb or check
position and signal of receivk_g antenna.
ABOUTYOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
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 in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is 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 influence the amount of
moisture that condenses in the 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 IECTest Procedure
at 1200watts. 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 food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of
dish.
* Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time
indicated and 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, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a '0" power
stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs inctude:
- 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 is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT FOODS
Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unbss in a
special microwave popcorn accessory or unbss 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 in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave
oven could result in injury.
Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up
inside egg 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. It increases the 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 inglass jars, even with the lid off.
Make sure all infant food is thoroughly 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 in the
microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds afterthe 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 if the 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 if the container is
opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container
to burst, possibly resuiting in injury.
Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn 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 bast an
iNTERNAL temperature of 160V2Fand poultry to at bast an
iNTERNAL temperature of 170V2F.Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Microwave Oven important information (oo.t .ue¢
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
it is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces al-
ready in your 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 utensits 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 tittle 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 if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the 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 is specially 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 is kept 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
over_:
Small fiat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas thatareeitherdefrosting or
cooking tooquickly.
Foil should not come closer than one
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 inthe
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 is not 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.
160_/2F- For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165_/2F- For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli
and carry-out 'fresh" food.
170Y2F- White meat of poultry.
175_/2F- Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer ina 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 in contact 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's coveringand
carefullyopen 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 is no 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 foodbome 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
Ufthe food that you wish to defrost is not fisted on the DEFROST
TABLE or is above or beUowthe Hmits in the Amount coUumn on the
DEFROST TABLE, you need to defrost manuafly.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previousUy cooked, by
using Power Levet for 30%. Foflow 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
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, If the 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
9. Each food selection pad has a cooking hint. Touch
Hetp 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/CJear.
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,
