MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

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 if doubt 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 with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

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 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

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 MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Radio interference

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.

• 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.

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.

The glass tray of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass tray, 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.

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

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door and make sure it latches.

Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Operating safety precautions

Electrical connection

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To

test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. 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 microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing 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 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 move freely. The turntable can move in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing 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 3 ⁄16 inch above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

• 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 harm you or 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.

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

Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.

ENGLISH

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• If you increase or decrease the amount of food you prepare, the time it takes to cook that food will also change. For example, if you double a recipe, add a little more than half the original cooking time. Check for doneness and, if necessary, add more time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lower the temperature of the food being put into the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook. Food at room temperature will be re-heated more quickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be heated faster than food containing a lot of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a higher temperature than water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat takes longer to heat than lighter, more porous food like sponge cakes.

Size and shape

• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook more evenly than different-shaped pieces.

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker parts. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• 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. If you are using the Sensor function, be sure to vent.

Releasing pressure in foods

• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.

Using standing time

• Always allow food to stand either in or out of the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and 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 second stage of the cooking cycle. See Two-Stage Cooking.

• The length of the standing time depends on how much food you are cooking and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes you to remove the food from the oven and take it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food item, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes.

Arranging food

For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:

• If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring 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 it will be heated last.

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

• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin – this prevents cracking.

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

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:

ENGLISH

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl and add some Water so that it covers the bottom of the container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm) deep. This ensures even heating of the container bottom.

• Always remove the container lid to avoid damage to the oven.

• Use only undamaged containers.

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

• Container must be at least half filled.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1⁄4 in. (.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.

• Always place the container on the turntable.

• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, such as wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with small pieces of aluminum foil."

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usually takes up to double the time compared to reheating in plastic, glass, china, or paper containers. The time when food is ready will vary depending upon the type of container you use.

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

Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven

• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closed

glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the oven.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to keep the oven at the high temperature needed for sterilization.

Removing the rack

• When popping commercially packaged popcorn, Remove the rack from the oven; Do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or under the rack.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcorn with rack

can cause fire or damage to your microwave oven.

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven. The auto defrost feature provides you with the best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Table 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. Three different defrost settings are provided.

1 MEAT 2 POULTRY 3 FISH

*You can set Auto Defrost from 0.1 to 6.0 pounds in

each setting.

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.

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 pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.

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.
