Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What to do when the oven light doesn’t light up during cooking or when the door is open?
A. Make sure that the time has been set, the power cord is firmly plugged in and the door has been fully shut, in that order. If the problem continues the bulb may be defected.

Q. Is steam ejected when the grill work is in an unsealed state?

A. Indeed, steam is generated during the cooking process, and the microwave oven is constructed in a way that it facilitates the flow of steam through the grill work.

Q. Is it possible to use the microwave oven without any ingredients placed inside it?

A. Unfortunately not, as using the oven without any plant in it or without the glass tray can cause serious damage to the unit itself.

Q. Is it possible for microwave energy to be transmitted through the viewing screen mounted on the door?

A. Absolutely not, the metal screen reflects any microwave energy while allowing light to pass through the cavity of the oven.

Q. Why is there a need for the ‘beep tone to sound off when the control panel pad is pressed’?

A. The ‘beep tone’ sounds to inform that the setting has been entered as intended.

Q. What does the “0:00” signal flash display imply?

A. This means that there has been power loss for a while, and the TIME OF DAY has to be reset.

Q. What would happen if the food were to be cooked for a more than usual time span?

A. Cooking for too long will result in smoke and possibly a fire, so it is advisable to keep an eye on the oven while the food is cooking.

Q. What causes the exhaust fan to begin working on its own?

A. The exhaust fan turns on when it senses very hot air flowing in so as to prevent damage to the microwave oven.

Q. What is the procedure to follow when using the oven for the first time?

A. If the oven behaves irregularly after it has been plugged in the first time, the microcomputer should be reset by unplugging the unit and plugging it again.

Q. There is always this crusty, dry spot on baked foods, is there a way to lessen the occurrence?

A. Overcooking causes the dry hard spot, therefore lower the cooking or reheating time.

USE INSTRUCTIONS--COOKING GUIDE

"HI-POWER" COOKING

"HI" gives the highest power cooking possible with your microwave oven. It is the recommended setting for

cooking foods with high moisture content or for cooking

foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural

flavor and texture. Your Kenmore Microwave Cooking

cookbook will tell you which foods are cooked best using the highest microwave cooking power ("HI"). For

detailed directions on "HI" (maximum power) cooking,

see Page 1 I.

"MULTI-POWER" COOKING

Many foods need slower cooking (at less than full power) in order to give the best results. In addition to "HI", there are ninety-nine "multi-power" settings. Detailed direc-

tions for "multi-power" cooking are on Page 13.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED

"HI-POWER" COOKING

"HI-Power" with TEMP CONTROL allows you to cook

food to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Fol-

low the directions on Page 17 and you will be able to preset

the temperature you desire with the aid of the "Tempera-

ture Control" cooking guide.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED "MULTI-POWER" COOKING

"Multi-Power" with TEMP CONTROL allows you to cook more sensitive foods to a preset temperature by using

slower microwave cooking speeds. See Page 18 for detailed directions.

DELAY START COOKING

For those times when you must be away from the kit- chen, but want dinner ready when you return, cooking can be started and finished at the time of day selected. See page 21 for detailed directions.

WHOLE MEAL COOKING

The Metal Rack increases the oven cooking space. To cook two or more different foods at one time, choose

their proper places inside the oven by following the cook- book directions. See page 22.

PROGRAMMED DEFROST

Power level will automatically change for proper thawing of dense food items. See pages 23 thru 28 for detailed

directions.

PRESET RECIPE COOKING - "Auto Recipe 300" and "3 Customer

Programmable Recipes"

300 Recipes were developed by our cooking experts and

helve been preset into this oven for automatic cooking. To use "AUTO RECIPE 300" cooking, touch RECIPE #_ the numbers corresponding with the desired Recipe(s)

shown in the cook-book and then START.

See pages 29 thru 31 of this Manual, as well as your

Kenmore Microwave Cookbook for detailed directions.

In addition to AUTO RECIPE 300, 3 more recipes

(Recipe #301--303) can be programmed by yourself for

preset recipe cooking. See page 31 of this manual for detailed directions.

AUTOMATIC "HOLD WARM"

After reaching the set temperature, the oven switches into

"Hold Warm" to keep the food warm. "Hold" will show in the display window and will continue to show for up to sixty minutes or until the door has been

opened or STOP has been touched. See Pages 17 and

18.

FOUR- STAGE COOKING

Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many foods will cook better when cooked for a period of time at

one power setting and then cooked for another period of time at a different power setting. With a cake, for example, the cookbook may recommend cooking at the "60

(Bake)" setting, followed by a period of cooking time at the "HI" setting. "Bake" allows the cake to rise gently, and

then "HI" finishes the cooking cycle. You can preset up to four stages at the beginning, start the oven, and then the oven will change automatically into the second stage at the preset time. "Two, Three or Four-Stage Cooking"

with both TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also be set. For detailed directions on "Two, Three or Four-Stage

Cooking", see Pages 19 and 20.

AUTOMATIC HOOD FAN CONTROL

The two-speed fan can be turned on by touching the FAN key. It is also automatically run at high speed by a heat sensing device. The sensing device detects overheating

conditions from the heating surface below and turns on

the fan to prevent damage to the oven. Once it is run by the sensing device, it can not be defeated by the FAN

key. It continuously runs until the temperature of the Oven drops to a safe level.

(LOW)" setting, you would touch "2" and "0". The display window will show "20". This means that the

oven is in a LOW setting, the oven is cooking at

power level 20.

6. Touch START. The oven begins to cook and the dis-

play window will show the time counting down. A tone will sound for 2 seconds when the cooking time is over.

DEFINITIONS

MEATS

• Choose only fresh, completely thawed meat.

• Place meat fat side down on the microwave roasting rack

in a glass baking dish.

• Microwave cook on the first "multi-power" setting for

half of.the total cooking time. (See "Temperature Con- tror' Meat Cooking Guide on Page 15.)

• Turn meat to fat side up and:

I. Place the temperature probe sensor into the meat with

the first inch of the sensor in the center of the meat. The sensor should not touch the bone or fat pocket.

The sensor should be put in from the side or from the front--it should not be put in from the top of the meat.

2. Plug the temperature probe into the socket on the side of the oven wall.

Choose the doneness temperature from the chart on Page 16. Set the temperature with the TEMP CON-

TROL.

Microwave cook the meat on the second "multi- power" setting. The microwave oven will turn itself off

when the preset temperature is reached. Take the food out of the oven as soon as the display window

shows "Hold".

Remove the temperature sensor. Let the meat stand,

covered with foil for about 10 minutes before serving. The temperature will rise about 15°F during standing

time.

Note: It is normal for meats to become slightly over- cooked in a small circular area in the immediate vicinity of

the hole made by the meat probe.

TEMPERATURE PROBE SENSOR: The pointed metal portion of the probe which is placed into the food.

SENSITIVE AREA OF SENSOR: The first inch, or tip,

of the temperature probe sensor. PLUG: The end of the temperature probe that is plugged

into the oven socket.

SOCKET: The outlet on the side of the oven wall.

CAUTION: Do not plug the pointed end of the temper- ature probe into the socket.

SLIDE GROMMET: Adjust the length of the tempera- ture probe by sliding the grommet before inserting it into food so that the sensitive area of the probe can always be

placed in the center of the food.

DISPLAY WINDOW: Shows the cooking temperature

rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may

be seen during cooking by touching TEMP CONTROL.

When chosen temperature is reached the display will

show "Hold" for 60 minutes or until the door is opened

or STOP is touched.

Microwave roasting rack Temperature probe

"TEMPERATURE CONTROL" POINTS TO REMEMBER

• Place the temperature probe sensor into the thickest part of the meat or in the center of the food to be reheated. Avoid

touching bone or fat.

• Check that the first inch of the sensor is in the densest part of the food to be cooked.

• Remove the temperature probe from the oven after use.

• Refer to cookbook for other information.

DO NOT

• Do not operate the oven while empty with the temperature probe plugged in.

• Do not let the temperature probe sensor touch the sides, bottom or door of the oven while in use.

• Do not use the temperature probe in a regular oven.

• Do not forget to turn meat between first and second settings.

PROGRAMMED DEFROST BY TEMPERATURE

Power levels for defrosting are predetermined in this oven. Thus, the temperature probe can assist in proper defrosting of large dense items, such as casseroles, poultry and roasts.

I. Cover the corners of food with small pieces of

aluminum foil. Place the food to be defrosted on a rack in a baking dish.

The baking dish will collect drippings from the food while the rack will prevent the food from soaking in the drip- pings and will help it defrost evenly.

Aluminum Fo"

2. Adjust the slide grommet on the probe, so that the temperature probe can be placed into the food about 2-

I/4" to 2-I/2" deep.

The probe should be placed horizontally about mid-

height of the food and from the right-hand side. If the

food is still hard and the temperature probe cannot be placed, use the probe spacer to make a 2-I/4" deep hole

for the temperature probe. To avoid error, be sure the temperature probe is pushed to the bottom of the hole and do not place the temperature probe into fat, air pockets or areas near bones.

3. Plug temperature probe into

socket on the side of the oven.

Caution: Do not plug the point- ed end of the temperature probe

into the socket.

4. Touch CLEAR.

5. Touch PROGRAMMED DE- FROST. The light below PRO-

GRAMMED DEFROST will go on and the display window will show

6. Touch TEMP CONTROL. The display window will show

"CLEF".

7. Touch START. The oven will :start and the display window will

show "dEF". A tone will sound for two seconds and the oven shuts

iLtselfoff.
