Gettingto KnowYour
MicrowaveOven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. Italso shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please readthis information before you use your oven.
HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Microwave energy isnot hot. Itcauses food to make itsown heat,and it's thisheat that cooks the food. Microwavesare likeTV waves, radiowaves, or
lightwaves. You cannot see them, but youcan see
what theydo. A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves.The microwaves move into theoven
where they contact food as it turns on theturntable.
Magnetron
_J
Oven cavity
Metal floor Glass tray
The glass turntable ofyour microwave oven lets
microwavespass through. Then they bounce off a metalfloor, backthrough the glass turntable,and
are absorbed bythe food.
Microwaves passthrough most glass, paper,and plasticswithout heatingthem so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounceoff metal containersso food does not absorb theenergy.
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 WAVE TM Inverter Microwave System
is proven technology that delivers a constant stream of microwave power -true high, medium, and low power.
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.

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 backa corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.
Radio interference
Using yourmicrowaveoven maycause interference to yourradio,TV, or similarequipment.When thereis interference,youcan reduceit or remove itby:
Cleaning thedoorand sealingsurfacesoftheoven.
Adjusting the receivingantennaof theradio or television.
Movingthe receiverawayfromthe microwaveoven.

Operating safety precautions
Never lean on the dooror allow a childto swing on itwhen the dooris open.
Use hot pads.Microwave energy does notheat containers, but the heat from the food can make the container hot.
Do not use newspaperor other printed paper in the oven.
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds, orclothes in the oven.
Do not start a microwaveoven when it is empty. Product lifemay be shortened. Ifyou practice programming the oven, put acontainerof water in
the oven. It isnormal forthe oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while.
Do nottry to meltparaffinwax in the oven. Paraffin waxwill not melt in a microwave oven
because itallows microwaves to passthrough it.
Do not operate themicrowave oven unless the glass turntableis securely in place andcan move
freely.The turntablecan move in either direction. Make sure the turntableis correct-sideupin the
oven. Handle your turntable with carewhen removing itfrom theovento avoidpossibly
breaking it. If yourturntable cracks or breaks, contact your dealer for a replacement.

For best results, stir any liquid several times during heatingor reheating. Liquidsheatedin
certain containers (especiallycontainers shaped like cylinders) maybecome overheated. The liquid
may splashout witha loud noiseduring or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags,etc.). This can harmthe oven.
Microwaves may not reachthe center of a roast. The heatspreads to the center fromthe outer, cooked areasjust as in regular oven cooking. This is one of the reasonsfor letting some foods (for example, roasts orbaked potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or for stirringsome foods during the cooking time.
Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and itis difficultto
maintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cooking time, potatoesshould be slightlyfirm because they will continue cooking during standingtime. After microwaving, let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They willfinish cooking while standing.
