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 13.

"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 :a e ninety-nine mulWpower settlngs. Detailed direc-

tions for "multi-power" cooking are on Page 15.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED "HI-POWER" COOKING

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

food to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Fol-

low the directions on Page 19 and you will be able to preset the temperature you desire with the aid of the

"Temperature Controlled" 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 20 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 12.

MULTI-STAGE COOKING

Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many foods willcook 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. "Multi-Stage Cooking" with both

TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also be set. For

detailed directions on "Multi-Stage Cooking", see Pages

25 and 26.

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 27 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 28.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Power level will automatically change for proper thawing of dense food items. See pages 21 thru 24 for detailed directions.

PRESET RECIPE COOKING "Auto Recipe 300" and "3 Customer Programmable Recipes"

300 Recipes were developed by our cooking experts and

have 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 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.

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- trolled" Meat Cooking Guide on Page 17.)

• Turn meat to fat side up and:

I. Place the temperature probe sensor into the meal wilh

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 lemperature probe into the socket on the side of the oven wall.

3. Choose the doneness temperature from the chart on Page 17. Set the temperature with the TEMP CON-

TROL.

4. Microwave cook the meat on the second "multi-

power'* set_ng. The microwave oven will turnitself 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 probe sensor. Let the meat stand, covered with foil for about I0 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.

DISPLAY WINDOW: Shows the cooking temperature rising as the food is cooking. Chosen temperature may

be seen during cooking by touching TEMP CONTROL. When "Hold Warm" is set, after completing the cooking the Display will show "Hold" for 100 minutes or until the

door is opened or STOP is touched.

Microwave Roasting Rack Temperature Probe

Glass Baking Dish

"TEMPERATURE CONTROL" POINTS TO REMEMBER

• Place the temperature probe sensor inlo the thickest

parl of the meat or in the center of life food to be

reheated. Avoid touching bone or fat,

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

• Remove the temperature probe from the oven after

use,

• Be sure to turn meat between first and second settings.

• Refer to cookbook for other information.

DO NOT

• Do not operale the oven with the temperature probe plugged in while it is empty.

• Do not leave the temperature probe unpk_gged in the cavily when operating the oven.

• Do not let the temperature probe touch the side

walls, glass tray or door of the cavity when in use.

• Do nol plug the pointed end of the temperature

probe into the socket inside the cavity.

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

This probe is designed for microwave oven only.

AUTO DEFROSTING INSTRUCTIONS,

The benefit of this Auto Defrost teature is automatic setting and control of defrosting, but just like

conventional defrosting you must check the foods on the way through the defrosting time.

To check the foods "Pause" is preset in this Auto

Defrosting cycle.

Turn over, separate or rearrange as recommended

per Auto Defrost Charts when the word "PAUS"

appears in the display window.

For best results, remove fishiseafood'meat/poultry from its original paper or plastic closed 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.

When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the foods, defrost the wrapped food for about a quarter of the

total defrost time, which is displayed at the beginning of the defrost cycle. Remove the foods from oven and

remove the wrap from foods.

• Place foods in a fiat glass baking dish or microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.

• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

Touch START. The oven will begin the defrosting sequence

you selected and display window will show the time of

the first segment as it "count

down".

The oven will stop auto- matically at the end of the first time segment and "PAUS" will appear in the display window.

At the pause, follow the chart instructions on Pages 23 and

24 for stirring, covering, turn-

ing over and/or rotating.

After turning over, rotating

etc., touch START. The oven will resume defrosting and the display window will show the

time remaining. At the end of the required time, a tone will

sound and "End" willappear in

the display window for 2

seconds. The oven shuts off auto-

matically.

UTENSILS

MATERIALS TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

OVENPROOF GLASS

Ovenware (treated for high-intensity heat), such as utility dishes, bread dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metallic

trimming.

CHINA Bowls, cups, serving pieces, plates and platters without

metallic trimming.

POTTERY Dishes, cups, mugs and serving pieces without metallic

trimming.

PLASTIC

Plastic wrap may be used as a cover. Lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. The dish should be deep enough so that plastic wrap will not touch the food, As the food heats, it may cause the wrap to melt wherever it touches the food. Plastic dishes, cups. semirigid freezer containers and plastic bags are usable for. short-time cooking. Use with care as some softening of the"

plastic may occur with heat from the food.

PAPER

Paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins and paper

plates are usable.

UTENSIL TEST: A simple way to find out if a utensil can be used for microwave cooking is to place it empty on the cooking tray. Close the door and set the time to 30 seconds (i/= minute). Then touch START. If the utensil is warm to the touch at the end of this time, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

CAUTION: Always make sure that closed utensils are opened and plastic pouches of vegetables (or other food

items) are pierced before cooking. Tightly closed utensils could explode.

MATERIALS TO AVOID USING IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

METAL UTENSILS

Metal utensils are not recommended because the metal shields the food from microwave energy on the bottom

and on the sides, causing uneven cooking results.Metal utensils will also causearcing and can damage the micro-

waue ouen.

METAL DECORATION Metal-trimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc,, should not be used. The metal trim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the dish.

CENTURA ® TABLEWARE Coming Glass does not recommend the use of its Cen-

tura ® tableware or Corelle ® closed handle cups for micro- wave cooking.

ALUMINUM FOIL

Large sheetsor piecesof aluminum foil should be avoided

because they will hinder cooking and may cause harmful

arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover

areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil

used should be at least 1inchfrom the side wails of oven.

WOOD

Wooden bowls and boards will dry out when used in the microwave oven and may split or crack.

OTHER Avoid using brown paper and cracked, flawed or chipped utensils, including ovenproof glassware.

CAUTION: Do not use metal ties on any paper or plastic

bags; the ties become hot and could cause a fire.

CARE AND CLEANING

Wipe the microwave inside and out. and the hood bottom cover outside with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and

aluminum surface This should be done on a weekly basismore often if needed. Never use rough cleaning powders or pads.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

Q.What is wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is open? A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. Perhaps:

Q.Why does steam come out of the grill work? A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam

Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

A. Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray.

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

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 show "0:00'? A. This indicates that there has been a temporary loss of electrical power to the oven, and the TIME OF

• TIME has not been set.

• The light bulb has burned out.

• START has not been touched.

out the grill work.

to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

DAY must be reset. Prolonged loss of power can also result in loss of programmable recipes. Be sure they are properly recorded, so that they can be reentered.

Q.Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long a period of time? A. Like any other cooking appliance, !t is possible to overcook food to the point of destruction which may

result in the food creating smoke and even possible fire damage to the inside of the oven. It isalways best to attend the oven while it is in the cooking process. See "Important Safety Instructions" on page 3.

Q.Why does the exhaust fan start when the FAN key is not touched?

A. High temperature air from the heating surface below can cause an overheating condition of the Oven,

and may damage it. The exhaust fan will start automatically to cool off the oven and prevent damage to it.

Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong? A. Only when the oven is plugged infor the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption, the

microcomputer used in the oven control assembly may temporarily become scrambled and fail to

function as programmed.

Unplug the oven from the 120.volt household outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will be

reset for proper function thereafter.

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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Co,-,t'd)

FOODS

Q.Whal is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot? A. A hard, dry, brown 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 build-up inside the yolk membrane.

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

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

cooking tbne for one of these reasons:

• Eggs vary in size.

• Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time.

• The shapes of utensils vary, thereby making it necessary to vary the cooking time.

• Eggs continue cooking during standing time.

Q. Is it possible to pop corn in a microwave oven? A. Popping corn in a microwave oven is not recommended. Microw, aves pop too few kernels to make the

technique successful. Longer cooking does not yield more popped corn. It can cause fire or cause the cooking dish to become too hot to handle or to break.

Microwave-popping devices are available. While safe to use, they usually do not give results equal to

regular popping methods. If they are used, carefully foUow the instructions which come with the popping device and never leave the oven unattended while popping corn.

CAUTION: Never use a paper bag for popping corn.

Q.What is wrong when three potatoes bake thoroughly and the fourth one is still not cooked? A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and should be cooked 30 to 60 seconds longer.

Remember to allow space around each potato when baking. Also, for more even cooking, put potatoes in a circle.

Q.Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking? A. The peeling has not been removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior of

the apple during cookng. As in regular cooking methods, the interior of the apple expands during the cooking process.

Q. How are boil-overs avoided? A. When cooking foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. 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 the cooking cycle.)

Q.Why is a standing time recomended after microwave cooking is over? A. Standing time is recommended after microwave cooking is over. This is to allow food s to continue

cooking evenly throughout for a few moments after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon 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.
