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

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.

Stirrer/Convection Fan

Page 12

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.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

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

Page 13

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.

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

...

Controlled” Meat Cooking Guide on Page 23.)

H Turn meat to fat side up and:

1. 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 tfie oven wall.

3. Choose the doneness temperature' from the chart on

Page 23. Set the temperature with the MICRO TEMP.

4. 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 “End”.

5. 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.

DEFINITIONS

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

temperature probe into the socket.

SLIDE GROMMET: Adjust the length of the

temperature 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 MICRO TEMP. When

“Hold Warm” is set, after completing the set cooking the

Display will show "Hold" for 100 minutes or until the door is opened or STOP is touched.

(See Cookbook for detailed explanation)

Whole Meal cooking lets you cook two or more different foods at the same time. Foods need not be placed in the oven at the same time, nor be removed at the same time, unless, needed. By using PAUbh

rather than MEMORY/RECALL, the oven will stop between stages for time to add or remove food.

1. Place the Metal Rack in guides on the side wall of oven cavity.

2. Place food into the oven.

3. Set the oven following the instructions given in the cookbook.

METAL RACK

a Remove Metal Rack from oven when not being used for whole meal cooking. • a Do not run the oven empty with the Metal Rack in it. n , í i ■

a The Metal Rack may get hot during cooking. Pot holders may be needed to remove Rack after cooking.

a Do not use browning dishes on Metal Rack,

a Do not use foil or metal containers on the Metal Rack.

CONVECTION COOKING WITH AUTOMATIC PRE- HEAT

An Automatic preheating temperature of 350° F for convection cooking has been factory set into the Oven. (See step 3 below.)

1. Touch CLEAR.

2. Touch OVEN TEMP/PRE-HEAT. The Light below STAGE 1 will -S3 go on and “F” shows in the

Display Window.

3. If you do not touch the

numbers for the oven

temperature, the Oven starts

preheating to the 350° F when

the START is touched.

If you want to preheat the Oven

to the temperature other than

the 350° F, touch the desired

numbers, or example, to

preheat the Oven to 400° F,

touch 4, 0 and 0. The “400F”

will show in the Display Window.

4. Touch PAUSE. 35

Light below STAGE 2 will go on

and "0" shows in the Display Window

5. Touch CONVEC TIME. m

Lights above TIME and

CONVEC will go on and “0”

shows in the Display Window.

6. Set the convection cooking

time by touching the

corresponding Numbers as

instructed in the Cookbook.

For example, set 45 minutes by

touching the numbers for “4”.

“5”, “0” and “0”. "4500” then

shows in the Display Window.

' T~

ix: Tp : ip;,

NOTE; During convection cooking, the Oven keeps the same temperature in Stage 2 as for preheating. If. however. Stage 3 is used, and a temperature other than 350° is desired, the Oven temperature must be set in Stage 3.

7. Touch START. .5“ The oven is working when the oven light is on. Lights below STAGE 1, above PAUSE and

CONVEC will go on. and “200F" is shown in the Display Window. As the oven temperature rises above 200° F, the display temperature increases in 10° F (210F, 220F, 230F etc.). When

the temperature in the oven reaches the preheat temperature, “350F or the set temperature is displayed and a pulsating beep tone will sound to tell that the preheating is over.

8. WARNING: The temperature in the oven is quite high. Never

touch the tray or flatware with bare hands. Open the door, the

beep sound will stop and the

temperature display will change to “PAUS”. Place the food inside the Oven as quickly as possible. While the door is open, the warmed air will escape from the Oven and the oven temperature will drop.

9. Touch START again. The Oven restarts, the oven light and the lights below STAGE 2, above TIME and

CONVEC are on. The “PAUS” display switches to the time display. The time in the Display

Window counts down.

A tone will sound and the word

“End” will show in the display

window for 2 seconds when the

45 minutes are over.

Then the oven will shut itself off.

NOTES: To know the

temperature of the Oven during

cooking, touch OVEN TEMP/PRE-HEAT to get “350F”

or the other set temperature in

the Display Window.

After preheating is over, the

beep tone will last until either

the door is opened or 30 minutes have elapsed. The oven temperature should be chosen in ten-degree

increments.

For example, when a

temperature of 368° F is set, you

can enter the 368°F. The Oven

will, however, stop at the

temperature of 360° F, omitting

the last digit 8°.

Avoid opening the door during the cooking often since the

hot air will escape from the Oven and the oven

temperature drops very quickly, adversely affecting the cooking results.

*Use Pot holders to remove the Metal Rack after cooking

as the Rack may get hot during cooking.

NOTE: If you want to keep the food warm after finishing the set cooking, you can use "Hold Warm" feature. But metal utensils can not be used for “Hold Warm" operation

since acring may happen and damage to the oven may

result. For detailed instructions on using "Hold Warm” features. See page 18.

DEHYDRATION COOKING

DEHYDRATION

Dehydrated foods require little storage space and no special containers. You cari store them in tightly sealed plastic bags or any other clean, air-tight container. This makes them readily available as a source of food any time there is a need. Drying foods while they are in plentiful supply and less expensive is money saving. Not only does it save you money but gives a greater variety of foods all year round.

For campers or hikers, it is a convenient way to take food for outdoor trail eating or camper cooking.

Dried foods, properly stored, will keep up to a year.

WHAT TO DEHYDRATE?

Almost anything! Fruit can be used to make some of the fruit “leathers” that are such nutritious snacks.

Apples, peaches, berries or any other seasonal fruit can be dried for year round snacking. Almost

anything that suits your taste can be dehydrated.

Vegetables can be dried and packed singly or in combinations to add to soups and stews. Use vegetables

from your garden or from a local farm stand. Herbs from your garden should be dehydrated and packed

singly or in combinations for spaghetti sauce, stews, chicken dishes. What a wonderful gift a jar of your

own home grown and dried herbs would make! , , r ■

There are also craft items that can be dried. Flowers from your spring garden! The use of this feature in

this oven is practically limitless. , , , , ^ n

There is no mystery about drying foods. In fact most of us eat dried foods every day. Generally, pasta,

beans, spices, raisins and even coffee are dried when you buy them.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Dry only good quality fruits and vegetables. If there is a blemish, it will appear in the finished product. The one exception to this is in making fruit leathers. Here you can cut away pieces of the fruit that are spoiled, use up fruits from the freezer that have overstayed their time, even canned fruits that have been

around too long. The thinner the slices, the faster the drying. . . ■

Place food one layer thick on the trays. Different kinds of foods can be dried at the same time, but it is

wise not to mix onion and onion products with less pungent foods, such as fruits. i j ui •

During the drying period, check food for doneness. When moisture appears on top of the food, blotting _

with a paper towel will speed dehydration. Timing will depend on the amount of moisture in the food.

Removing moisture by pressing the food may shorten the drying time, but it will also remove natural

vitamins in the moisture. It is best for this to remain in the food and dry out slowly for best quality of

color and content. , , r- • i u i j

Generally, vegetables are dried when they have become leathery or brittle. Fruits should be leathery and pliable and should not exhibit any moisture when squeezed. Meats will be dark in color when properly dried and from sharp points when bent. Herbs and leaf-type plants will become brittle and crumble easily

when fully dried. It is better to overdry than to underdry. • Drying times on some products like apricots and grapes are quite long. If you wish to use these, use both

racks for maximum results. If you wish to use the oven for some other cooking, remove the food on the drying racks to a place where they will be kept clean and away from moisture. When the other cooking is finished, allow the oven to return to low heat and continue the drying. Don’t interrupt drying process for

too long.

...........................

Page 44

DEHYDRATION Si

PREPARATION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FOR DRYING

Fruits may or may not be treated with an ascorbic acid solution before drying. However, it will hold its

color better if treated. If a fruit such as apples or bananas has a tendency to darken, dip it in a solution of

1 teaspoon ascorbic acid to 1 quart water. (Ascorbic acid, otherwise known as Vitamin C, can be purchased at drugstores or markets where freezing supplies are sold) If you prefer, you can brush the fruit with lemon juice. Some berries, such as blueberries, will dry faster if steamed just long enough to break the skin. Vegetables, with the exception of onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms, should be blanched (see Blanching Guide on page in your Kenmore MICRO/CONVECTION Cookbook) before dehydration. Drain the blanched vegetables well and put on trays to dry. This blanching will stop enzymatic action and means that the dried vegetables will be of better quality and will keep longer.

DRYING HERBS

All herbs leaves should be dried on the stem, when possible. There is no special preparation, except if the

herbs are dusty. Then they should be rinsed in cold water and dried well. Drying time will vary with

amount of herbs and moisture. Herbs should be dried at a lower setting than the automatic Dehydration

setting, which is 150° F. Dry at 120° F to preserve flavor oils and vitamins. Here is an example of how to

program for a lower oven dehydration setting.

TO PROGRAM DEHYDRATION AT 120° F. For 1 Hour of dehydration.

1. Touch DEHYDRATE TIME.

2. Touch the numbers for “1”, “0” and “0”.

3. Touch OVEN TEMP/PRE-HEAT.

4. Touch the numbers for “1”, “2” and “0”.

5. Touch START. . The oven is now set to dehydrate for 1 hour at 120F degrees. You may adjust the dehydration oven setting from 100° F to 180° F at any time it is needed.

FRUIT LEATHERS

Fruit leathers are one of the most enjoyable things for snacking you can easily make. They are a combination of fruits, nuts, and if desired, honey or corn syrup to sweeten slightly. Most fruits have enough sugar to give enough sweetness to the leather. Try this with fruit leathers. Remove leather from plastic wrap and spread with soft cream cheese, then roll up and refrigerate. This can then be sliced

crosswise to provide a delicious, wholesome snack, or hors d’oeuvre.

Fruit leathers can be a good way to use up fruit that may be a little too ripe for slicing uniformly or eating whole. Just use your imagination and use your own combinations of fruits. Not usually suitable, are

grapefruit, lemons, persimmons.

TO PREPARE

Place chunks of fruit in a blender and puree the mixture. The fruit should be ripe. Underripe fruit will not improve with dehydrating. To yellow or light colored fruit add 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice for each quart of fruit. Line tray with plastic warp, tape it to all four sides with masking tape. Use about 2-1/2 cups of puree for a leather about 18” X 14” X 1/4”. Pour the puree onto the prepared drying trays. Slightly tilt the tray to spread mixture evenly. Leave at least a 1” border to allow for spreading during drying. Dry until it feels leather-like and is pliable. There should be no sticky spots in the center. It is easier to roll the leather while it is still warm. Remove while warm and roll it up. The Dehydration timing will vary. For best results begin testing for doneness after 4—5 hours. Leathers may take 6 hours. If you enjoy spices, you can add a pinch of spice or flavoring to the puree. Taste before adding too much. Spices and flavorings tend to concentrate when dried, use sparingly.. .you can always add more. While leathers are still quite moist, you might like to sprinkle with shredded coconut, or chopped nuts and raisins. They will dry onto the leather and provide an attractive garnish as well as good taste.

BEEF JERKY

It is important in making beef jerky to select lean cuts of meat and to remove any far around the edges. Flank steak, brisket, round steak, can all be used. For greatest tenderness, slice very thinly against the grain and cut into strips. Pieces of meat may be sprinkled with sea salt, according to individual taste, or marinating for several hours, then draining well, will add tenderness and flavor.

BEEF JERKY MARINADE RECIPE

Marinate for about 1-1/2 hours before drying. Blot dry on paper towels before Dehydrating. EXAMPLE #1 EXAMPLE #2

2-1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce

1-1/2 Tablespoons white wine 1-1/2 Tablespoons Honey

2 Cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon fresh ginger 1-1/2 teaspoons Sesame Oil

1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Just a pinch — White pepper Combine all ingredients, blend well. Add sliced beef, stir once during marinating.

1 Tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper . 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Combine all ingredients, blend well. Add sliced beef, stir once during marinating.

HOW TO STORE YOUR DEHYDRATED FOODS

Clean, airtight jars may be used for storing. Jars should be placed in a cool area and protected from light. Using plastic bags is also a convenient method. Since heat and light affect the quality and shelf-life of dried foods, these bags may be kept in cartons in a cool place. We suggest that you store your dried foods in

the approximate size portions, you will be using. This eliminates frequent exposure to air and the resultant absorption of moisture. Plastic ziploc bags available in different sizes are ideal for the purpose. Label all packages so you can identify the contents.

HOW TO USE DEHYDRATED FOODS

Uses for dehydrated foods can be as varied as the imagination of the cook. Most of the fruits you dehydrate are deliciously eaten just “as is” for snacks. This is also true of fruit leathers and beef-jerky.

A wonderful substitute for “junk” foods for children. Banana slices, apple slices, cherries, pineapple, pears,

apricots and peaches are all appetizing tidbits to eat. Soak dried foods in water or juice and beat in a blender to make a nutritious drink.

Dried fruits may also be “rehydrated” by soaking in water or fruit juice and simmered by microwave to

provide a delicious dessert or side dish. Instead of serving potato chips with dips, be different and serve

dried cucumber chips. Sprinkle 1/8” slices with a little salt and dehydrate. Serve them for a different flavor

with variety of dips.

Dehydrated soup ingredients can be heated with water on the microwave cycle. Dried vegetables can

added to stews and casseroles as needed. They may also be simmered in water until tender and served as

you would a fresh vegetable.

ALL ABOUT TIMING

All suggested timing are approximate. It is not possible to be absolutely accurate in predicting the time to

the minute for dehydration. It all depends upon the thickness of the food, the moisture content, and the quality of the food being dehydrated. It is always up to you.. .The Cook to determine when the trays should be removed. Two trays of apples which may have a suggested timing of 5—6 hours, when sliced in rings, may only take 4—4-1/2 hours when the rings are cut in half, and sliced a bit thinner. For even results foods should be approximately the same size and thickness. If both racks are used, reverse rack position after half the predicted dehydration time. Timings may change with even the same variety of foods used before. Look for the clues described in the dryness test and do taste. For chewy fruits, you may wish to use less time. Experiment for texture until you discover your taste for desired doneness. Above all, try whatever foods are in season and in abundance, since that is always the best time to “put away” foods. That is when flavors are at their best and the food least expensive. That is what dehydration is all about.

CARE AND CLEANING

The oven cavity is made of stainless steel and should be cleaned with a detergent specially formulated for stainless steel.

After convection cooking in particular, the interior of the oven tends to be stained with spattered oil. It is recommended that the oven be cleaned each time after use before the oil spatters harden and become difficult to remove.

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel should be free of food or grease buildup Wipe both often with a mild detergent, rinse, and wipe dry. Never use rough powders or pads. After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel. After dehydrating foods such as onions and marinated beef jerky, it is normal to have some odor retention in the oven for a few days. For cleaning of the Dehydration Rack and Net, it is recommended that a mild detergent, soft cloth or nylon brush for stubborn stains such as beef jerky marinade can be used. .

REMOVABLE PARTS After each use of the Temperature Probe, it must be removed from the socket. Use pot holder, as the

wire, plug and sensor sections may be hot. Wipe food or liquid from sensor with damp cloth. The Ceramic Tray and Metal Rack can be removed for cleaning at the sink. Wipe up spillovers with paper

towel or cloth before removal of tray.

Wash in warm soapy water and dry. Do not use rough cleaning powders, steel wood, or rough cleaning

pads.

The fan cover (inside oven top) can be gently wiped in place or removed for washing with detergent in a sink. Handle with care when washing in a sink. The fan cover can be removed by taking out the two screws used to hold it in place and pulling off the cover carefully. Avoid hitting or bending the metal stirrer blade, as this cause uneven cooking or microwave power loss. To replace, set the cover in the rails at the rear of the oven and secure it using the two screws at front.

CAUTION: Wipe the fan cover after each use to keep the food soils from falling onto the cooking tray. The fan cover is coated with Teflon* for easy cleaning. Do not apply abrasive powders, metal or nylon wash pads, nor any metal objects such as knives and forks to the fan cover. Hard objects and

abrasive cleaners may scratch the coating. To clean, use only a foam sponge or wash cloth with a mild

kitchen cleaner. NOTE: Should the Teflon coating be scratched off, the oven function will not be affected.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or

grease buildup. Wipe both often with a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe dry. Never use rough

powders or pads.

After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been entered accidentally while cleaning the panel.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION Q. What’s wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is opened?

A. There mai> be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.

B Timer has not been set. B Light bulb is burned out. B START has not been touched.

Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent? A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. The microwave oven has been made to

vent this steam out the rear vent.

Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? A. Yes. Never run it empty and without the ceramic tray.

Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? A. No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes, or ports, are made

to allow light to pass: they do not let microwave energy through.

Q. Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the Control Panel is touched? A. The beep tone sounds, to assure that the setting is being properly entered.

Q. Why does the Display Window flash? A. Flashing numbers indicate there has been a loss of electrical power to the Oven and the Time of

Day must be reset. Prolonged loss of power can also result in loss of programmable recipes. Be sure they are

recorded.

Q. Why does the smoke come out of the exhaust duct at the back of oven? A. It is normal that the smoke may come out of the duct during convection cooking.

The smoke will be produced when the food is over-cooked, and will be led to the duct.

Q. Why does it take so long to pre-heat sometimes? A. When the oven door is opened during the preheating, the hot air will escape from the oven and

the oven temperature will drop, making the preheating time longer. Avoid opening the oven door during preheating, convection cooking or micro/convec cooking, whenever possible.

Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case? A. This light is from the oven light which is located outside the oven cavity.

Page 58

FOODS

Q. What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot?

A. A brown, hard spot shows overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop? A. When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam built up inside the yolk

membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never microwave cook eggs in the shell.

Q. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry? A. Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. Though the same recipe is used each time, you may need to

vary the cooking time for one of these reasons.

■ Eggs vary in size. H Eggs are at room temperature one time and refrigerator temperature another.

■ The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it necessary to vary the cooking time. B Eggs keep on cooking during standing time.

Q. Can I cook popcorn in my microwave oven? A. Cooking popcorn in a microwave oven is not recommended.

Microwaves pop too few kernels to make the technique successful. Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn, but can cause fire or make the cooking dish too hot to handle and even break.

Microwave popping devices are available. While safe to use, they usually do not give results equal to regular-popping^ methods. If used, carefully follow the instructions which come with the popping product and never leave the oven unattended while popping com.

Never use a paper bag for popping corn.

Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake throughly and the fourth is still not cooked?

A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and will need to cook 30 to 60 seconds

longer. Remember to allow space around each potato when baking.

For more even cooking, put potatoes in a circle.

Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

A. The peel should be removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior

of the apple during cooking, as in regular cooking.

Q. How are boilovers avoided? A. For foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil. If you open the oven door or touch STOP

the food will stop boiling. (Remember to touch START again after closing the door, to restart cooking.)

Q. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over? A. After microwave cooking is finished, foods keep on cooking during standing time.

This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time

depends on the density of the food.

Q. Why is an additional time required for cooking food stored in refrigerator? A. As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. More time

is needed to cook the food just taken out of a refrigerator than food at a room temperature.
