electrical GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING — Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or Sears Service Department if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be
a grounding-type 3 wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched or crushed in any way.
PROPERLY POLARIZED AND

INSTALLATION

Install your oven by following these four simple steps; Step 1: Remove all packing material and accessories. Step 2: Place the oven in the level location of your choice, but make sure there is at least one inch of
space on the top and at the rear for proper ventilation. The top of the oven should be kept clear and the plastic feet must be kept on the oven so there is air flow ventilation. An exhaust outlet is at the rear of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.
Step 3: Plug your oven into a Standard 120 volt household outlet. Be sure the electrical circuit is at least
15 amp and that your microwave/convection oven is the only appliance on the circuit.
Step 4; When your microwave/convection oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes
after a power interruption, the numbers in the display window will show “0:00” plus the hours and minutes that have elapsed since the oven was plugged in or the power was restored. This means that the TIME OF DAY clock must be set. Refer to “Setting Time of Day” below. .
Note: If your oven does not operate properly, unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet and
then plug it back in.

HOW THE MICROWAVE/CONVECTION OVEN WORKS

Microwave Cooking

Using the energy of microwaves only, food is heated quickly without altering the color or shape. Microwaves generated by a magnetron are uniformly distributed by the fan so that the food in the oven is heated and cooked. Microwave power can be adjusted in 99 steps, enabling the various kinds of foods to cook at most desirable cooking power
for the best results.

Convection Cooking

This is a way of cooking with hot air alone that heats and cooks food
from the outside. This method allows food to be browned evenly without losing any of the juices. Air heated by the heater is uniformly circulated in the oven by a fan to enable the heating and cooking of
food. Since hot air remains in the oven as it circulates, cooking is vpy
efficient. The temperature inside the oven can be controlled according
to the type of food being cooked.
Stirrer/Convection Fan
Stirrer/Convection Fan

Micro/Convec Cooking

With both microwave energy and hot air utilized, this method cooks food much more quickly than any conventional method. The solid­state control alternates cooking energy between microwave and hot air cycles to provide efficient cooking fully utilizing the advantages of both microwave and hot air cooking systems. The dehydration cooking is performed in the same mode.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

MICROWAVE COOKING
COOKING GUIDE

“HI” POWER COOKING

“HI" gives highest power and is a recommended setting for cooking foods with high moisture content or for foods that need fast cooking to keep natural flavor and texture. • Your Kenmore Microwave Convection Cookbook will tell you which foods are cooked best using highest microwave power or “HI". For detailed directions on “HI” (max power) cooking, see page 19.

MULTI-POWER COOKING

Many foods need slower cooking at less than full power in order to give you the best results. In addition to “HI”, there are ninety-nine multi-power settings. Detailed directions for multi-power cooking are on pages 20 and
21.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED HI
POWER COOKING
“HI” power with Temperature Control lets you cook food
to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Follow the
directions on page 25 and you will be able to preset the
temperature you desire with the aid of the Temperature Control Cooking Guide.

FOUR-STAGE COOKING

Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many food 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” withdDoth TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also be set. For detailed directions on “Two, Three or Four­Stage Cooking”, see Pages 27 and 28.

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 Cookbook directions. See page 29 in this manual.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED MULTI-POWER COOKING

Multi-power with Temperature Control allows you to cook more sensitive foods to a preset temperature using slower
microwave speeds. See page 26 for detailed directions.

“HOLD WARM”

After completing your cooking, 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 100 minutes or until the door has been opened or STOP
has been touched. See Page 18.
12

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Power level will automatically change for proper thawing of dense food items. See pages 30 thru 33 for detailed directions.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

CONVECTION COOKING

COOKING GUIDE
CONVECTION COOKING
With cooking time controlled, this is the most common way of cooking. Many foods can be cooked using this method in which the oven temperature is set according to the type of food. The oven is usually preheated before using.

AUTOMATIC PRE-HEAT

Preheating required before convection or rhicro/convec cooking can be performed automatically. See page 35.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
CONVECTION COOKING
This function enables a type of convection cooking in which the temperature of the food is controlled by a
temperature probe. See page 37.
This cooking mode is suitable for cooking meat.

MICRO/CONVEC COOKING

Since both microwaves and hot air are used, food can be
cooked very quickly. Cooking this way utilizes the features of both the microwave and hot air systems and finishes food nicely. See page 38.

TEMPERATURE PROBE MICRO/CONVEC COOKING

The temperature probe is used to control the temperature of the food in the combination of microwave and convection cookings. This method is useful when cooking meat. See page 40.

FOUR-STAGE COOKING

With the memory feature that controls four different
stages of cooking, four-stage cooking can be performed automatically. For example, the first stage can be set for preheating, the second for convection cooking, third for micro/convec cooking and fourth for convection cooking. Just start the oven for automatic sequential cooking. It is also possible to set a combination of microwave and convection cooking in each stage. See pages 41 and 42.

DEHYDRATION COOKING

This function enables apples, peaches, berries and any other seasonal fruit as well as meats to be dried. To get efficient dehydration cooking, the Oven has been
programmed itself to alternate cooking energy between
microwave and hot air cycles. This method can dehydrate food much more quickly than any conventionally dehydrated cooking. See pages 43 thru 49 for detailed directions.
