Microwave Oven important information
RADIO OR TV iNTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV
as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time setting elapses and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
° Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside
of dish.
° Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
° Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
° Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
° Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
° Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
° Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of
the dish to the outside.
° Use standing time. Always allow food to stand in or out of
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a "0"
power stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
° Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking
temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
ABOUT FOODS
* Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers--for example, closed jars--will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
* Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
* Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave
oven and could start a fire. It increases the heat around the
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
* Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
* Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid
off. Make sure aii infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir
food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The
container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
* Spontaneous boiling--Under certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing
liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the
container from the microwave oven, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after
the microwave oven has shut off. Do not boil liquids in
narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
flasks and especially narrow necked coffee cups. Even if
the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
cause it to burst or overflow.
* Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
* Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
* Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catch fire, causing damage to your microwave oven.
* Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Microwave Oven important information (co.t °oedl
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Maize sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
° glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware ®
° heat-resistant glass (Pyrex ®)
° microwave-safe plastics
° paper plates
° microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
° browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
These items can be used for short tlme reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
° wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
* metal pans and bakeware
* dishes with metallic trim
* non-heat-resistant giass
* non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
* recycled paper products
* brown paper bags
* food storage bags
* metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:
* Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
* Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
° Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use
can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow
plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
° Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because
heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
° Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember
to slit bag so steam can escape.
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN:
* Small fiat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or
cooking too quickly.
° Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
thermometer wiii assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe
temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to
the microwave oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the
same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to Jean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don't assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
ABOUT SAFETY
° Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures.
160°F For fresh pork, ground meah boneless white
poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and
deii and carry-out "fresh" food.
170°F White meat of poultry.
175°F Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave oven use.
° ALWAYS use pothoiders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat
from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin
burns.
° Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face
and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering
and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away
from the face.
° Stay near the microwave oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
° NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.
° Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
° Keep microwave interior clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires.
° Use care when removing items from the microwave oven
so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.

TYPES OF OVEN RACKS
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.
Racks
This appliance is equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
self=cleanlng mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until the components have
cooled down.
OVEN VENT LOCATION
Each oven is vented at its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vents. This is normal.
ARRANGING LOWER OVEN RACKS ...................
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE
OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE
OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, puii the rack forward until
it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.
To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides
on the oven wails. Tilt the front of the rack upward
and slide the rack back into place.
Do not line oven wails, racks, or bottom
with aluminum foil or other materials. Doing so wiii alter
heat distribution, produce poor baking results and may
cause permanent damage to the oven interior. Self-clean
temperatures are hot enough to melt these materials.
Your appliance may be equipped with one or more of
the oven rack types shown; Flat Handle Oven Rack and
Extendable Glide Rack.
This oven comes with lubricated porcelain oven racks,
which can remain in the oven during the self-dean cycle.
Do not clean this vegetable oil lubrication off: the racks. It
is important that the sides of the oven racks always have
a light coating of vegetable oil. To maintain optimal rack
performance, re-apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the
sides of the rack after every self-dean cycle or when the
rack becomes difficult to slide.

REMOVING, REPLACING, AND ARRANGING GLIDE
RACKS
The glide rack is an extendable rack that maizes food
preparation easier. It has glide tracks that allow the rack to
be pulled away from the oven without rubbing the sides of
the oven wall.
Removing and replacing the gllde racks
To remove the glide rack:
1. Lift up on the release lever located across the lower front
of the rack° as shown in figure 1.
2. While holding up the release lever (see figure 2), puii
the glide rack out of the oven until the stop position is
reached, use two hands if necessary.
3. Using both hands, grasp the upper and lower portions of
the glide rack (see figure 3).
4. Lift up the front of the rack slightly and continue to puil
the rack away from the oven.
5. Be sure to grasp both upper and lower rack portions
together when removing or handling the glide rack. The
rack portions move independently and are difficult to

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the "Amount"
column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure
found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and
lower your power level to 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the
end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1
minute increments on power level 30 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.
