PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the

door open since open - door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is

particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired

by anyone except properly qualified service

Electrical

requirements

Observe all governing codes and
ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,
20 amp fused electrical supply is
required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)
It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong
outlet. Do not remove ground

prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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 can result in a risk of electric

shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or

serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or ifdoubt

exists as to whether the microwave oven
is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified

electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the microwave oven.

• For a permanently connected appliance:

The microwave oven must be connected
to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring

system, or an equipment grounding
conductor should be run withthe circuit

conductors and connected to the

equipment grounding terminal or lead
on the microwave oven.

Gettingto Know Your

MicrowaveOven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know
to operate your microwave oven. Please read this informationbefore you use your oven.

HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make
itsown heat, and it'sthis heatthat cooks the food.
Microwavesare like"iV waves, radio waves, or

lightwaves. You cannotsee them, but you can see

what theydo.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces

microwaves. The microwaves moveinto the oven

where they contactfood as it turns onthe turntable.

Magnetron

Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH
power only. To achieve a 70% power level in a

conventional microwave oven, the oven operates

70% of the time at HIGH power and 30% of the

time OFF.

TheULTRAWAVETM InverterMicrowaveSystem
deliverspowercontinuously,todefrostmoreevenlyand

minimizeovercookingoffoodandmessyfoodspatters.

Oven cavity

Metal floor G_asstray

The glassturntable of your microwave oven lets

microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a
metal floor, back through the glassturntable, and

are absorbed by thefood.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and

plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce offmetal containers so

food does not absorb the energy.

ULTRA WAVE TM Inverter Microwave System
ULTRA WAVETM Inverter Microwave System gives

you better microwave cooking performance for
defrosting, cooking and reheating foods quickly

and uniformly.

The ULTRA WAVETM Inverter Microwave System

is proven technology that delivers aconstant
stream of microwave power - true high, medium,

and low power.

takesthe guessworkoutofmicrowavecooking.

For the best cooking results

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

cooking.

•Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being
cooked about halfway through the cooking time
for all recipes. This will help make sure 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.

Testing your microwave oven

I To testtheovenput about 1cup of coldwaterina Makesureitlatches.Cookat 100%bowerfor 1minute.

glasscontainerintheoven.Closethe door. Whenthe timeisup,thewatershouldbeheated.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To
test a dish for safe use, putit into theoven with a
cup of water besideit.Cook at 100% cook power
for one minute.If the dish gets hot, do not use it.
Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwaveenergy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking
times. Cooking inmetal containersnot designed for
microwave use could damage the oven,as could
containerswith hidden metal(twist-ties,foil lining,
staples, metallicglaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

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

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat
containers, butthe heat from the food can make
the container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paperin
the oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, orclothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave oven when it isempty.

Product life may be shortened. Ifyou practice
programming the oven, put a container ofwater in

the oven. Itis normalfor the oven doorto look
wavy after the oven hasbeen running for a while.

• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will notmelt inamicrowave oven
because it allows microwaves to pass through it.

• Do not operate the microwave oven unlessthe
glass turntable is securelyin placeand can move
freely. The turntable can move ineitherdirection.

Make sure the turntable iscorrect-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

removing it from the ovento avoid possibly
breaking it.Ifyour turntable cracks or breaks,

contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning
dish bottommust be atleast 3/16 inchabovethe

turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the

browningdish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause
them to burst, andpossibly damage the oven.
Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare
cases, poached eggs have been known to
explode. Cover poached eggs andallow a
standing time of one minutebefore cuttinginto

them.

•For best results, stir any liquid several times
during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in
certain containers (especially containersshaped
likecylinders) may become overheated.The liquid
may splash outwith a loud noiseduring or after
heating or when addingingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm the oven.

•Microwaves maynot reach the center ofa roast.
The heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areasjust as inregularoven cooking. This
isone of the reasons for letting some foods (for
example, roastsor baked potatoes) stand fora
while after cooking, or for stirring some foods
during the cooking time.

•Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
utensilsare not suitable and it isdifficult to

maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

•Do not overcook potatoes. At the end ofthe
recommended cooking time, potatoes should be
slightlyfirm because they will continue cooking
during standing time. After microwaving, let
potatoes stand for 5minutes. They willfinish
cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is
less than 110volts, cooking times may be longer.

Have a qualified electrician checkyour electrical
system.

Refer to the "Microwave Power Levels Table" on
page 16 for more information,

NOTE: If you do not select a power level, the oven
will automatically cook at HIGH (100%) power,

AUTO DEFROST

Four 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 to get best defrost results.

NOTE:
When you touch the START pad, the display changes

to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during
the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and
turn, separate, or rearrange the food. 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, shape your ground meat into the

form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,

scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.

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

This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being 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

DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM

•When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered
isthe netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds

(theweight of the food minusthe container).

• Before starting,make sure you have removed any

of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen
food bags, and replacethem withstrings or elastic

bands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placedin the oven.

•Always slitor pierceplastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foiland place itin a

suitable container.

• Slitthe skins, ifany, of frozenfood such as

sausage.

• Bend plasticpouches of food to ensure even

defrosting.

•Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted

food is still icy in the center, return it to the

microwave oven for more defrosting.

•The length of defrostingtime vades according to
how solidly the food is frozen.

•The shape of the package affects how quickly food
willdefrost. Shallow packages will defrostmore
quicklythan adeep block.

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

•Use small pieces of aluminumfoil to shield parts
offood such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails,or

areasthat startto get warm. Make sure the foil does
nottouch the sides,top, or bottom ofthe oven. The

foOlcan damage the oven lining.

•For better results, let foodstand afterdefrosting.

(For more informationon standingtime,see the

"Microwave CookingTips" section.)

•Turn over food during defrostingor standing time.
Breakapart and remove food as required.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your
microwave oven for upto 99 minutes,99 seconds

(about 1 hour, 40 minutes).You can use Hold Warm
by itself, or to automaticallyfollow a cooking cycle.

NOTES:

• Hold Warm operatesfor up to 99 minutes, 99
seconds.

•Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm.
Close thedoor andtouch HoldWarm, then touch

START ifadditional HoldWarm timeis desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered during

HoldWarm.

• Pastry items (pies,turnovers, etc.) should be
uncovered dudngHoldWarm.

•Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate
should be covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not usemore than onecomplete HoldWarm
cycle (about I hour, 40 minutes). The quality of
some foods will sufferwith extendedtime.

SURE SIMMER

Your microwave oven lets you simmer soups,
casseroles, stews, and other liquid foods. All you do

is set a simmer time and your oven will bring your

food to a boil and then simmer it for the time you
specify.

NOTES:

•You cannot change the cook power or aloneness
for Sure Simmer.

•This function uses the sensor. The sensor needs
2 minutes 30 seconds to warm up after the oven

is connected to power or after a power failure.
If you start Sure Simmer during the warm up,

microwave energy will not be turned on until the

sensor is warm.

•When cooking vegetables, increase amount of
water to 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125ml).

• Cover dish with a hard lid, i.e., the lid that comes
with the dish or a dinner plate. Do not use plastic

wrap.

casserole with a lid. When cooking pasta or noodles,

add 1 tbsp (15ml) oil to the water before boiling.
Use the following method:

Place container with water in the oven and follow
steps 2~4, setting the simmer time at 1 second. At

the end of the signal, place the food in the water and
stir until completely covered by water. Cover. Repeat

steps 2~4, setting the simmer time you want.
Changing instructions you can change the simmering

Using Sensor Cooking

SENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allowsyou tocook most ofyour favorite
foods withoutselecting cooking times and power
levels.The oven automaticallydetermines required

cooking time for eachfood item. When the internal
sensor detectsa certain amount of humidity coming
from the food, itwill tellthe oven how muchlonger to

heat. The display will show the remainingheat time.
For best resultsby Sensor, following these

recommendations.

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

• GlassTray and outside of container should bedry
to assure best cooking results.

• Foodsshould always be covered loosely with
microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paperor a lid.

• Do not open the dooror touch the "STOP/CLEAR"
key during the sensing time. When sensing time is
over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining
cooking time will appear inthedisplay window. At

this time you can open the door to stir, turn,or
rearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lidsor vented plasticwrap.

• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to

overcook.

• Match the amount to the size of the container.
Fillcontainers at least halffull for best results.

• Be sure the outsideof the cooking container and
the insideof the microwave oven are dry before
placingfood inthe oven. Beads of moistureturning

into steam canmislead thesensor.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

•Ifyou increase or decrease theamount offood
you prepare,the time ittakes to cook that food will

also change. Forexample, if you double a recipe,
add a little morethan halfthe originalcooking time.
Check for doneness and, if necessary,add more

time in small increments.

Starting temperature offood

•The lowerthe temperature ofthe food being put
intothe microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.
Food at roomtemperature will be re-heated more

quicklythan food at refrigeratortemperature.

Composition of food

•Food with a lotof fat andsugar willbeheated
fasterthan food containing a lotof water. Fat and
sugarwill also reach ahigher temperature than

water in the cooking process.

•The more dense the food, the longer it takes to
heat. "Very dense"food likemeat takes longerto

heat than lighter, moreporous food likesponge
cakes.

Size andshape

•Smaller pieces of food willcookfasterthanlarger
pieces.Also, same-shaped pieces cookmore
evenly than different-shaped pieces.

•With foods that have different thicknesses, the
thinner partswill cook faster than the thicker parts.

Place the thinnerparts of chicken wingsand legsin
the center of the dish.

Stirring,turning foods

•Stirring and turning foods spreadsheatquicklyto
the center of the dish and avoids overceoking atthe
outer edges ofthe food.

Covering food

Cover foodto:

•Reduce splattering

•Shorten cookingtimes

•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. Ifyou areusing the Sensorfunction, besure
to vent.

Releasingpressure infoods

• Several foods (forexample:baked potatoes,

sausages, egg yolks, andsome fruits) are tightly
covered by a skin ormembrane. Steam can build up

under the membrane during cooking, causing the
foodto burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent

bursting,pierce these foods beforecooking with a
fork,cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standingtime

•Always allow food to standaftercooking.
Standingtime after defrosting and cookingallows

thetemperature to evenly spread throughout the
food, improving the cooking results.

•The length ofthe standing time depends on how
much food you arecooking and how dense it is.

Sometimes it can beas short as the time it takes
you to remove thefood from the oven and take itto

the serving table. However, with larger, denser food,
the standing time may beas long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

Forbest results, place food evenly on the plate. You
cando this inseveral ways:

•If you are cooking several items of the same
food, such as baked potatoes,place them ina dng

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 itwill be heated last.

•Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.

•When you cook or reheat whole fish, scorethe
skin - this preventscracking.

•Do not let food or a container touch the top orsides
ofthe oven. This will prevent possible arcing.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containersshould not be usedin a microwave
oven. There are, however,some exceptions. Ifyou

have purchased food whichis prepackagedin an
aluminum foilcontainer, referto the instructions on

the package. When using aluminum foil containers,

cooking times may be longerbecause microwaves

will only penetrate thetop of the food. Ifyou use

aluminum containers withoL_package instructions,

follow these guidelines:

31

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place thecontainer ina glass bowl and add come
water so that itcoversthe bottom of thecontainer,

not morethan 1/4in.(.64cm) high.This ensures
even heatingof the container bottom.

• Always remove the lid to avoiddamage tothe
oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

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

• Container must be at leasthalf filled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in.
(.64cm) between the aluminum container end the

walls ofthe oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

• Always placethe containeron the turntable.

• Shield with small pieces of aluminumfoil, parts of
food that may cook quickly,such as wing tips and

leg ends of poultry.

• Heating food inaluminum foil containers usually
takes up to doublethe time compared to reheating

inplastic,glass,china, or paper containers.

The time when food isreadywill varydepending

upon the type of container you use.

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

Cookingyou should not do in your

microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods inthe oven. Closed

glassjars may explode, resulting indamage to the

oven.

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

the high temperature neededfor sterilization.

Removing the rack

•When poppingcommercially packagedpopcorn,
Remove the rack from the oven; Donot placethe

bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the
rack.

• In the case of popping microwave popcorn with
rack, that can causethe fire or damage to your

microwave oven.
