lü/iPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR WALL OVEN
• Use Care When Opening an Oven Door—Stand 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.
• 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.
• Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
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.
• 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 instructions for 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

iViicrowave Oven Important Information
Radio or TV interfererice
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.
ABOUT YOUR 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 in food 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 lEC 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 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 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 is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your 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 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 in glass 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 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 if the container
is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to
burst or overflow.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked boffles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the 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, 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 least an
INTERNAL temperature of I6OI/2F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of ilOVzf. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
iViicrowave Oven Important Information (continued)
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave 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 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 oven:
• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or
cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to 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 is not a toy.
See page 14 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°F For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and
deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170°F White meat of poultry.
175°F Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a 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 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 I iff the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and
carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from
the face.
• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use 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 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 15.
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 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.
