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.
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 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 food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside
of dish.
° Watch cooking time. Cool< 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
cool< 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 wiii 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 aii 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 bottles
(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.
* Cool< meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

Microwave Oven important information (co...oedl
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 u|ens_ls 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 flme 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 microwavJng,
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 fiat 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 cool< everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
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 meah 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 lift 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 dean. 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 chart or is above or below the limits in the "Amount"
column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure
found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and
lower your power level to 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the 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 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 from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.
* Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes.
1. Enter cooking time by pressing 5 0 0 on the numeric
pads.
2. Press POWER LEVEL
3. Enter power level by pressing 3 on the numeric pads.

Microwave Operating Instructions
SENSOR MODE
The sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor
(moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats.
The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for
various foods and quantities. Popcorn, Sensor Cook and
Sensor Reheat are part of the Sensor Mode.
Using Sensor Mode:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using
Sensor Mode.
.
Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.
.
The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
4.
Any Sensor Mode selection can be programmed with
more or less time adjustment.
.
More or Jess food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
6.
During the first part of any sensor cooking or reheating,
SENSING will appear on the display. Do not open the
oven door during this part of the cycle. The measurement
of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error
message will appear. To continue cooking, press the
STOP 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. Except for popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor
properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be
displayed.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional
time is needed, continue to cook manually.
COVERING FOODS
Some foods cook better when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the food charts.
1. Casserole lid.
POPCORN
You can cook popcorn by touching a quick pad (popcorn).
You don't need to calculate cooking time or power level.
Do not place microwave popcorn directly on the metal turn-
table as metal on metal may produce sparking. Always use the
popcorn/bacon tray provided with the unit to cool< popcorn.
° Suppose you want to pop a 3.5 oz. bag of popcorn.

Procedure
Use only popcorn packaged for the microwave. Try
several brands to decide which you like. After popping
cycle do not try to reheat unpopped kernels. Use the
popcorn/bacon tray provided with your unit to cook
popcorn quickly and efficiently. This sensor works weii
with most brands of microwave popcorn. You may wish
to try several and choose your favorite. Pop only one bag
at a time. Unfold the bag and place in oven according to
directions.
NOTES
The final result will vary according to the food condition
(e.g. initial temperature, shape, quality). Check food for
temperature after heating. If additional time is needed,
continue to heat manually.
This mode can be programmed with More or less time
adjustment by touching the power level pad once or twice
before touching START pad.
.
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.
