by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• See door surface denning instructions in the "Caring for Your Microwave Oven" section.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

Do not overcook food. Carefully attend to the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic

bags before placing bags in oven.

If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

• This Microwave Oven is suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.

• This Microwave Oven is intended to be used above ranges with a maximum width of 36

inches (91 cm).

• Clean Ventilating Hoods frequently - grease should not accumulate on hood or filter.

• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

• Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

• Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven,

as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, causing a risk of electric shock.

• Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in

operation.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows the basics that you need to know in order to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before using your oven.

HOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that

cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves.

You cannot see them, but you can see the results of what

they do. A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves.

The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. The microwaves then bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.

Magnetron

._._.J__

Metal floo/r I O_'en cavity

Glass turntable

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics

without heating them, so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

RADIO iNTERFERENCE

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

* Cleanlng the door and sealing surfaces of the oven. " Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.

Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on

different branch circuits.

FOR THE BEST COOKING RESULTS

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If

needed, touch Add 30 Sac while the oven is operating, or after the cooking cycle is over (see the "Add 30 Sec" section).

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help ensure that the food is evenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

• The metal shelf is used for cooking certain items and should be removed from the microwave oven when not

needed. Do not store metal shelf in the microwave oven.

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-reslstant, non-metalllc cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup (250mJ) as done in of water in a glass measuring cup and place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Convection Cooking

• Metal Pans are recommended for aii types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust. , Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a

light, tender crust.

• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause !

arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cool<ware, the shelf or the oven. I

* Heat-resisant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450 °F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require_

crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

Notes: Do not operate the oven when it is empty except preheating.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

o Never lean on or allow a child to swing on the door when it is open.

- Use hot pads to handle food containers. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the heat from the food

can make the container hot.

" Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. " Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. " Do not start a microwave oven when it is empty. This may shorten the life-span of the oven. To practice

programming, put a container of water in the oven before starting.

" Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it

allows microwaves to pass through it.

o Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass turntable is securely in place and can rotate freely.

The turntable can rotate in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.

Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid breaking it.

" When using a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the turntable.

Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

" Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to

burst, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

" For best results, stir any liquid severa_ times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain

containers (especially containers shaped like cylinders) may overheat. The liquid may splash during or after

heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or damage the microwave oven.

" Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat spreads from the outer to the center cooked

areas, just as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods (for example, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

" Do nat deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difflcult to maintain appropriate

deep-frying temperatures.

" Do not overcaok potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm

because they will continue cooking during standing time. After rnlcrowavlng, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

if your electric power llne or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a

qualified electrician check your electrical system.

Microwave Cooking Tips

Amount of Food * If you increase or decrease the amount of food

you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original

cooking time. Check for readiness and, if

necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting Temperature of Food * The lower the temperature of the food being

put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cool<. Food at room temperature will reheat quicker than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of Food * Food with a lot of fat and sugar will heat

faster than food containing a lot of water.

Fat and sugar will also reach a higher

temperature than water in the cooking process.

* The more dense the food, the longer it takes

to heat. "Very dense" food, like meat, takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food, like sponge cakes.

Size and Shape * Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than

larger pieces. Also, same shaped pieces cool< more evenly than differently shaped pieces.

* With foods that have different thlcknesses, the

thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring and Turning Foods * Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly

to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering Food * Cover food to reduce splattering, shorten cooking

times, and keep food moist.

You can use any covering that lets microwaves

pass through. See "Getting to Know Your Microwave

Oven" for materials that microwaves will

pass through.

Releasing Pressure in Foods

* Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages,

egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using Standing Time

* Always allow food to stand, either in or out of the oven,

after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and 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 second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

* The length of the standing time depends on how much

food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes to remove the food

from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with a larger, denser food item, the standing time may

be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging Food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: * If you are cooking several items of the same food,

such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.

* When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness,

such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where

it will be heated last.

* Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other. * When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin - this

prevents cracking.

* Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of

the oven. This will prevent possible arcing. Arcing is a spark that can cause damage to the oven interior.

EN-11

Page 12

Using Aluminum Foil

NOTE:Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you

have purchased food prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the top of the food. When using aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

• Place the container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the bottom of the container

more than 1/4 in. (.60 cm). This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoid damage to the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

• Do not use containers taller than 3/4 in. (1.9 cm).

• The container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum of 1/4 in. (.60 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls

of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable.

• Shield, with small pieces of aluminum foil, parts of food that may cook quickly; such as wing tips and leg

ends of poultry.

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in

plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container used.

• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after heating so that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

• Do not put canned foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the

high temperature needed for sterilization.

USING AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The cooking guide will show you which defrost sequence is recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange the food in order to get the best defrost results. Three different defrosting levels are provided:

1. MEAT

2. POULTRY

3. FISH

Remove any portions that have thawed. Return frozen portions to the oven and touch START to resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TIPS

• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic

package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can

cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn the meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the meat and continue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

KEY WEIGHTS YOU PRESS Category CAN SET

(tenths of a pound)

Auto Defrost Meat 0.1 to 6.0

Auto Defrost Poultry 0.1 to 6.0

Auto Defrost Fish 0.1 to 6.0

Auto Defrost Bread 0.1 to 6.0

Weight conversion table You are probably used to measuring food in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following table to convert

the weight to decimals.

Equivalent Weight

OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT

1.6 .10

3.2 .20

4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound

DEFROSTING TIPS

" When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the

net weight (the weight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure to remove any and all metal twist4ies that often come with frozen food bags, and

replace them with strings or elastic bands.

• Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in a

suitable container.

• Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food

is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see the "Microwave Cooking Tips" section).

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.

EN-22

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels. The display will indicate Sensing during the initial sensing

period.

The oven automatically determines required cooking time for each food item. When the internal sensor detects a

certain amount of humidity coming from the food,it will tell the oven how much longer to heat. The display will show the

remaining heating time. For best results for cooking by

Sensor, follow these recommendations.

1. Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.

2. Always use microwavable containers.

3. Match the amount to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

4. Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam

can mislead the sensor.

5. Foods should always be covered with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid. Never use tight-

sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.

6. Do not open the door or touch the STOP key during the

sensing time. When sensing time is over, the oven beeps and the remaining cooking time will appear in the display window. At this time you can open the door to stir, turn, or tearrage the food.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealeddn flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the

Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE

TURNTABLE iN PLACE.

1.Always use the metal rack on the turntable when convection cooking.

2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.

3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils

for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not

have extended handles.

4.Use convection cooking for items like souffles, breads, cookies,

angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish.

5. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your

favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you need to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking

packaged food in convection mode.

6. When baking cakes,cookies, breads,rolls, or other baked

foods,most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats,casseroles, and poultry without preheating.

7. All heat-proof cookware or metal utensils can be used in

convection cooking.

8. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing

and damage to the oven may occur.

9. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will

automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30

minutes.

PRECAUTIONS

• The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,

cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable from the over after convection cooking.

• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection.

CONVECTION KEEP WARM (Control panel Feature 2)

TI PS FOR COMBINATION COOK! NG MICRO+CONY COMBICOOK (Control panel Feature 4)

This section gives you instructions to operate each combination cooking function. Please read these instructions carefully. Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. In combination cooking, the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR COMBINATION COOKING

1. Meats may be roasted directly on the metal rack or in a shallow roasting pan placed on the rack. When using the

metal rack, please check your cooking guide for information

on proper use.

2. Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3. When baking, check for doneness after cooking time is up.

If not completely done, let stand in oven for a few minutes to

complete cooking.

PRECAUTIONS

1. All cookware used for combination cooking must be BOTH

microwave-safe and oven-safe.

2. During combination baking, some baking cookware may cause arcing when it comes in contact with the oven walls or metal accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity

that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

-If arcing occurs, immediately stop the cooking cycle and place a microwavable safe dish between the pan and the

metal rack.

-We recommend you use the metal rack supplied with your

oven. It has rubber feet that helps prevent arcing.

-If arcing occurs with other baking cookware, do not use

them for combination cooking.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

In order to ensure that your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you

should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

Far interior surfaces:

Wash often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft

cloth.

Use only mild, nonabrasive

soaps or a mild detergent.

Be sure to keep the areas

clean where the door and oven frame touch when

dosed. Wipe well with clean cloth.

Far exterior surfaces

and control panel: Use a

soft cloth with spray glass cleaner. Apply the spray glass

cleaner to the soft cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel

wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc.,

can damage the control panel

and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.

Over time, surfaces may stain as a result of food particles splattering during cooking. This is normal.

Far stubborn soil: Boil a cup of water in the oven

for two to three minutes. Steam will soften the soil. To get rid of odors inside the

oven, boil a cup of water with some lemon juice or vinegar in

it. NOTE: Use the Clean option in

Clock & Settings for a preset timed cycle for stubborn soil cleaning.

To clean glass turntable and turntable support: Wash

Glass turntable in mild, sudsy water. For heavily

soiled areas, use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The glass turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.

EN-36

Page 37

CARING FOR THE FILTERS

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often; at least once a month.

NOTE: Models are shipped for recirculating exhaust (To duct air outside reference the Installation Instructions

book included with your microwave.). Some models have a disposable charcoal filter installed to help remove smoke and odors. Replacement filters are available from Sears by calling 1-800-4-MY-HOME. The charcoal filter

cannot be cleaned and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. Grease filters (Part No. 5304478913): Charcoal filters (Part No. 5304464577):

1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is no taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metai to touch

walls or door.

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

Yes. The turntable reverses rotation each time the

microwave oven door is opened and closed. This helps

cook food evenly.

This appearance is normal and does not affect

the operation of your oven.

You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should

not happen.

What does "standing time" mean?

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to

remove food after cooking.

"Standing time" means that after the timed cooking period ends, food should be allowed to stand either inside or outside of the oven to completely finish cooking. Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be available for other use. For inside oven standing time, you can program a "0" power second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two- Stage Cooking.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam.

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? Yes. Use the microwave oven popcorn selection. Do not use

regular paper bags. Do not re-pop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware. Remove the metal

shelf from microwave oven when cooking popcorn.
