PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded! If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having

a grounding wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and

grounded.

WARNING

If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that:

NOTE: This oven draws 12.5 amperes at 120 Volts, 60 Hz.

• The extension cord has the same electrical rating as the appliance.

• The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The extension cord is a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

• The extension cord does not drape over a countertop or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

• The electrical cord is dry and not pinched or crushed in any way.

Ask a qualified electrician or the Sears Service Department if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.

This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce the risk of anyone’s tripping over or becoming entangled in the cord. You may use an extension cord if you are careful.

INSTALLATION

A. Circuits

For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

B. Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the front or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

C. Placement of the Oven

Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen countertop or a specially designed microwave oven cart at least 100cm (39.4 inches) from floor. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of the oven for proper ventilation.

NOTES:

• Never place the turntable in the oven upside down.

D. Do not block the air vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

E. Radio interference

1. Microwave oven operation may interfere with TV

or radio reception.

2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a. Clean the door and the sealing surfaces of the

oven. b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or TV. c. Relocate the microwave oven in relation to the

TV or radio. d. Move the microwave oven away from the

receiver. e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet

so that microwave oven and receiver are on

different branch circuits.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options: microwave cooking, convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency radio waves. The movement of the microwaves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than regular methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Combination cooking combines microwave energy with convection to cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking, or combination cooking to cook by time. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically .

The following guide shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection, and combination cooking.

MICROWAVE

Microwave energy is distributed evenly throughout the oven for fast, thorough cooking of food.

Microwave energy.

• Fast, high efficiency cooking.

• Oven and surroundings do not get hot.

• Easy clean-up.

COOKING METHOD

HEAT SOURCE

BENEFITS

CONVECTION

Hot air circulates around food to produce browned exteriors and sealed-in juices.

Circulating heated air.

• Aids in browning and seals in flavor.

• Cooks some foods faster than regular ovens.

COMBINATION

Microwave energy and convection heat combine to shorten the cooking time of regular ovens, while browning and sealing in juices.

Microwave energy and circulating heated air.

• Shortened cooking time from microwave energy.

• Browning and crisping from convection heat.

Read this guide to learn the many different things your Microwave/Convection/Combination Oven can do. You will find a wide variety of cooking methods and programs designed to suit your lifestyle.

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your microwave oven. However, to test cookware before using, follow these steps:

1. Place the empty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup of water in a glass measuring cup and

place it in the oven beside the cookware.

3. Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the dish is warm, it should not be used for microwave cooking.

Convection Cooking

• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked

products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and

pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper crust.

• Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies, or

muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light, tender crust.

• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes are

best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

• Glass or glass-ceramic baking containers are

recommended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf, damaging the cookware, the shelf or the oven.

• Heat-resistant plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all-around browning, because plastic is a poor conductor of heat.
