ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse or

circuit breaker is recommended.) It is recommend- ed that a separate circuit serving only this appli-

ance 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 plug

can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the

grounding instructions are not completely under- stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave

oven is properly grounded.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 with

the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

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 information before you use your oven.

HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TMMICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or

light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see 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.

Magnetron

___J u

Oven cavity

Metal floor Glass turntable

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

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.

Normally, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level

(medium) in a typical microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50%

of the time OFR

0% 0% 0%

In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing the ULTRA WAVE Inverter Microwave System deliver the selected power

level continuously. This constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.

The ULTRA WAVETMInverter Microwave System features Sensor Cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food

as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the

guesswork out of microwave cooking.

The ULTRA WAVE Inverter Microwave System is proven technology that delivers a constant stream of microwave power - true high, medium and low

power.

RADIO INTERFEREN(,E

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:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or television.

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

• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir, turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway through the cooking time.

• 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 ¼to 1/_in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to

vent steam during heating or cooking.

• 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.

TESTING YOUR DINNERWARE OR COOKWARE

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish, put it into the oven with 1 cup

(250 mL) of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute. Ifthe dish gets hot and

water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.)

OPERATING TIPS

- 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, 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.

Product life may be shortened. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in

the oven. It is normal for the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.

- 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.

- 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 remov-

ing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable cracks or breaks,

contact your dealer for a replacement.

- When you use a browning dish, the browning dish bottom must be at least d6 in. (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with

the browning dish.

absorb microwave energy, and may become too hot to handle or may slow cooking times. Cooking in

metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with

hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

- 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 several times during heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially containers shaped

like cylinders) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after

heating or when adding ingredients (coffee

granules, tea bags, etc.). This can damage the oven.

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

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 not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

- Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the

recommended cooking time, potatoes should be slightly firm because they will continue cooking during standing time. After microwaving, let

potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

COOKING AT DIFFERENT COOK POWERS

For best results, some recipes call for different cook powers. The lower the cook power, the slower the

cooking. Each Number pad also stands for a different percentage of cook power. Many

microwave cookbook recipes tell you by number, percent, or name which cook power to use.

COOK POWER NAME WHEN TO USE IT

10=100% of full power

(automatic)

9=90% of full power ,, Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground

8=80% of full power ,, Heating rice, pasta or casseroles

7=70% of full power Medium-High ,, Reheating a single serving of food

6=60% of full power ,, Cooking sensitive foods, such as cheese and egg

USING ULTRA DEFROST TM

You can defrost food by choosing a category and setting a weight. ULTRA DEFROSTTM can be used only for defrosting of frozen foods inthe categories of Meat, Poultry or Fish. For defrosting foods or weights not listed, manually set a defrosting time using 30% power. ULTRA DEFROSTTM has preset times and cook powers for 3 categories (see following chart).

To use ULTRA DEFROST TM, follow the steps below:

1. Touch the ULTRA DEFROST TM side of pad to

enter the ULTRA DEFROST TM function.

3. Touch Number pad(s) to enter the weight. Input the correct weight.

4. Touch START. The estimated defrost time is displayed. The time display begins counting

down.

If the weight has been set too low or

too high, when you touch START or

POWER, a warning beep will sound

and the display will show RETRY for

once

2 seconds.Then the minimum/maximum weight allowed will be displayed.

2. Continue to touch ULTRA DEFROST TM to select food class.

(See the following chart.)

This chart shows you how to choose a type of food and the weights you can set for each type.

TOUCH OR TOUCH WEIGHTS YOU CAN SET

FOOD ULTRA DEFROST TM* NUMBER PAD (tenths of a pound) Meats once 1 .2 to 6.6 (91 g to 2994 g)

Poultry twice 2 .2 to 6.6 (91 g to 2994 g) Fish 3 times 3 .2 to 4.4 (91 g to 1998 g)

You must touch ULTRA DEFROST TM once before choosing the food type.

NOTES:

• ULTRA DEFROST TM will prompt you to enter a weight. You then have 1 minute to enter a weight and to touch START/ENTER. If you do not do so, ULTRA DEFROST TM will be canceled.

• If you enter a weight higher than the highest weight or lower than the lowest weight (0.2 lb.) allowed for your food setting, 3 tones will sound and "RETRY" will appear on the display when you touch START/ENTER. Then

the maximum weight allowed will be displayed.

• If you touch ULTRA DEFROSTTM 4 times, the display returns to the Meats setting.

• If you need more or less defrosting time, do not touch ULTRA DEFROSTTM again. Touch POWER before you touch START/ENTER. (See "Changing preset cooking times" in the "Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven" section.)

• See the "ULTRA DEFROST TM chart" later in this section for defrosting directions for each food.

• To defrost items not listed in the "ULTRA DEFROST TM chart," use 30% cook power. Refer to a reliable cook- book for defrosting information.

USING ULTRA DEFROST TM (CONT.)

• 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 evenly.

• 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.

DEFROSTING TIPS

• When using ULTRA DEFROST TM, you need to enter the net weight (the weight of the food minus

the container). Enter the weight to the nearest

1/10 Ib (45 g).

• Only use ULTRA DEFROST TM for raw food. ULTRA DEFROSTTM gives best results when the

food to be thawed is completely frozen. If the food is partially defrosted, always set a lower

food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

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 ULTRA DEFROSTTM,

you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

DECIMAL WEIGHT

.25

One-Quarter Pound .30 .40

• For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time. This may make the

defrosting time seem longer than expected. (For more information on standing time, see the

"Microwave cooking tips" in the "Cooking Guide" section.)

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

weight to decimals.
