PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with thedoor open since open-door operation canresult in harmful exposure to microwaveenergy. It is important not to defeat or tamperwith the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the ovenfront face and the door or allow soil or cleaner

residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c)

(d)

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It isparticularly important that the oven door closeproperly and that there is no damage to the:(1) Door (bent),(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

The oven should not be adjusted or repairedby anyone except properly qualified servicepersonnel.

Electrical

requirementsObserve all governing codes andordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply isrequired. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)It is recommended that a separate circuitserving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prongoutlet. Do not remove groundprong. 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 electricshock by providing an escape wire for theelectric current. The microwave oven isequipped with a cord having a groundingwire with a grounding plug. The plug mustbe plugged into an outlet that is properlyinstalled and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of thegrounding can result in a risk of electricshock.

Do not use an extension cord. tf the powersupply cord is too short, have a qualifiedelectrician or serviceman install an outletnear the microwave oven.

• For a permanently connected appliance:The microwave oven must be connectedto a grounded, metallic, permanent wiringsystem, or an equipment groundingconductor should be run with the circuitconductors and connected to theequipment grounding terminal or lead onthe microwave oven.

Consult a qualified electrician orserviceman if the grounding instructionsare not completely understood, or if doubtexists as to whether the microwave ovenis properly grounded.


Gettingto Know YourMicrowaveOvenThis section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to knowto operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

HOW YOUR KENMORE MICROWAVE HOODCOMBINATION WORKS

Microwaveenergy is not hot. Itcauses food to makeitsown heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.Microwaves are like TV waves, radiowaves, orlightwaves. You cannot see them, but you can seewhat they do.A magnetron in the microwave oven producesmicrowaves.The microwaves move into the ovenwhere they contact food as it turns on the glass tray.

Magnetron

Oven cavityMetal floor G_ass tray

For the best cooking results

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

cooking.• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food beingcooked abouthalfway through the cooking timefor all recipes. This will help make sure the food isevenly cooked.

• If you do not have a cover for a dish, use waxpaper, or microwave-approved paper towels orplastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner ofthe plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

The glass tray of your microwave oven letsmicrowaves pass through. Then they bounce off ametal floor, back through the glass tray, andare absorbed by the food.Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, andplasticswithout heating them so food absorbs theenergy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers sofood does not absorb the energy.

Radio interference

Usingyour microwave oven may cause interferenceto your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When thereis 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 microwaveoven.

• Plugging the microwave oven into a differentoutlet so that the microwave oven and receiver areon different branch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

I o test the oven put about 1cup of cold water in aglass container in the oven. Close the door andmake sure it latches.

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

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or cookware before using. Totest a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with acup of water beside it. Cook at 100% cook powerfor one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.Some dishes (melamine, some ceramicdinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy,

becoming too hot to handleand slowing cookingtimes. Cooking in metalcontainers not designed formicrowave use could damage the oven, as couldcontainers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,staples, metallic glaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swingon it when the door is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heatcontainers, but the heat from the food can makethe container hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper inthe oven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs,wood, paper,gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwaveoven when it is empty.Product life may be shortened. If you practiceprogramming the oven, put a container of water inthe oven. It is normal for the oven door to lookwavy after the oven has been running for awhile.

• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven.Paraffinwax will not melt in a microwave oven

because it allows microwaves to pass through it.• Do not operate the microwave oven unless theglass tray is securely in place and can movefreely. The glass tray can move in either direction.Make sure the glass tray is correct-side up in theoven. Handle your glass tray with care whenremoving itfrom the ovento avoidpossiblybreaking it. Ifyour glass tray cracks or breaks,contact your dealer for a replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browningdish bottom must be at least 3/16 inch above the

glass tray. Followthe directions supplied with thebrowning dish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the

shell, Steam buildup in whole eggs may causethem to burst, and possibly damage the oven.81ice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rarecases, poached eggs have been known toexplode. Cover poached eggs and allow astanding time of one minute before cutting intothem.

• For best results, stir any liquid several timesduring heating or reheating. Liquids heated incertain containers (especially containers shapedlike cylinders) may become overheated. The liquidmay splash out with a loud noise during or afterheating or when adding ingredients(coffeegranules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you ordamage 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 regularoven cooking. Thisis one of the reasons for lettingsome foods (forexample, roasts or baked potatoes) stand for awhile after cooking, or for stirring some foodsduring the cooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavableutensils are not suitable and it is difficult tomaintain appropriate deep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of therecommended cooking time, potatoes should beslightly firm because they will continue cookingduring standing time. After microwaving, letpotatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finishcookinq while standinq.

Electrical connection

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

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food• If you increase or decrease the amountoffoodyou prepare, the time it takes to cook that food willalso change. For example, if you double a recipe,add a little more than half the originalcooking time.Check for doneness and, if necessary, add moretime in small increments.

Starting temperature of food• The lower the temperature of the food beingputinto the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.Food at room temperature will be re-heated morequickly than food at refrigerator temperature.

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

• The more dense the food, the longer it takes toheat. "Very dense" food like meat takes longer toheat than lighter,more porous food like spongecakes.

Size and shape• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than largerpieces. Also, same-shaped pieces cook moreevenly than different-shaped pieces.

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

Stirring, turning foods• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quicklytothe center of the dish and avoids overcooking at theouter edges of the food.

Covering foodCover food to:• Reduce splattering• Shorten cooking times• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwaves passthrough. See "Getting to Know Your MicrowaveOven" for materials that microwaves will passthrough. If you are using the Sensor function, be sureto vent.

Releasing pressure in foods•Severalfoods(forexample:bakedpotatoes,sausages,eggyolks,andsomefruits)aretightlycoveredby a skinormembrane.Steamcanbuildupunderthemembraneduringcooking,causingthe foodto burst.To relievethepressureandto preventbursting,pierce thesefoodsbeforecookingwitha fork,cocktailpick,or toothpick.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)• Place the aluminum foil container ina glass bowland add some Water so that it covers the bottom ofthe container, but not more than 1/4 in. (.64 cm)deep. This ensures even heating of the containerbottom.

• Always remove the container lid to avoid damageto 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 !/4 in.(.64 cm) between the aluminum container and thewalls of the oven and also between two aluminumcontainers.

• Always place the container on the glass tray.

• Shield parts of food that may cook quickly, suchas wing tips and leg ends of poultry, with smallpieces of aluminum foil."

• Heating food in aluminum foil containers usuallytakes up to double the time compared to reheatingin plastic,glass, china, or paper containers.The time when food is ready will vary dependingupon the type of container you use.

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

Cooking you should not do in yourmicrowave oven• Do not do canning of foods in the oven. Closedglass jars may explode, resulting in damage to theoven.

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

Removing the rack• When popping commercially packaged popcorn,

Remove the rack from the oven; Do not placethe bag of microwave popcorn on the rack or underthe rack.

OPERATING TIPS• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and

poultry from its original closed paper or plasticpackage (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will holdsteam and juice close to the foods, which can causethe outer surface of the foods to cook.

• For best results, shape your ground meat into theform of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting,scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds andcontinue defrosting.

• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave

roasting rack to catch drippings.

This table shows you food type selections and theweights you can set for each type. For bestresults, loosen or remove covering on food.

FOOD TOUCH WEIGHTS YOUAuto Defrost CAN SET

(tenths of a pound)

Meat 1 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Poultry 2 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Fish 3 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Bread 4 .1 to 1.0 (45g to 450g)

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being inpounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (forexample, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). However, inorder to enter food weight in Auto Defrost, you mustspecify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of apound, you can use the following table to convert theweight to decimals.

DEFROSTING TIPS HOLD WARM

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be enteredis the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds(the weight of the food minus the container).

• Before starting, make sure you have removed anyof the metal twist-ties which often come with frozenfood bags, and replace them with strings or elasticbands.

• Open containers such as cartons before they areplaced in the oven.

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.

• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in asuitable container.

• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such assausage.

• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure evendefrosting.

• Always underestimate defrosting time. Ifdefrostedfood is still icy in the center, return it to themicrowave oven for more defrosting.

• The length of defrosting time varies accordingtohow solidly the food is frozen.

• The shape of the package affects how quickly foodwill defrost. Shallow packages will defrost morequickly than a deep block.

• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.Separated pieces defrost more easily.

• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield partsof food such as chicken wings, legtips, fish tails, orareas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil doesnot touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. Thefoil can damage the oven lining.

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.(For more information on standing time, see the"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)

• Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.Break apart and remove food as required.

You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm in your

microwave oven for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds(about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You can use Hold Warmby itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.

Example: To use the Hold Warm.

To make Hold Warmautomatically follow another cycle:

• While you are touching in cooking instructions,touch Hold Warm before touching START.

• When the last cooking cycle is over, you will heartwo tones. "Hold Warm" will come on while the ovencontinues to run.

• You can set Hold Warm to follow Auto Defrost,Cook, or multi-cycle cooking.

NOTES:• Hold Warm operates for up to 99 minutes, 99seconds.

• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Closethe door and touch Hold Warm, then touchSTART if additional Hold Warm time is desired.

• Food cooked covered should be covered duringHold Warm.

• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should beuncovered during Hold Warm.

• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate shouldbe covered during Hold Warm.

• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warmcycle (about 1hour, 40 minutes).The quality ofsome foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor CookingSENSOR COOKING

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favoritefoods without selecting cooking times and powerlevels. The oven automatically determines requiredcooking time for each food item. When the internalsensor detects a certain amount of humidity comingfrom the food, it will tell the oven how much longer toheat. The display will show the remaining heatingtime. For best results by Sensor, following theserecommendations.

• Food cooked with the sensor system should be atnormal storage temperature.

• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dryto assure best cooking results.

• Foods should always be covered looselywithmicrowavable plastic wrap, waxed paper or a lid.

• Do not open the door or touch the "STOP/Clear"key during the sensing time. When sensing time isover, the oven beeps twice and the remainingcooking time will appear in the display window. Atthis time you can open the door to stir, turn orrearrange the food.

SENSOR COOKING GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assuregood Sensor cooking results.

• Always use microwavable containers and coverthem with lids or vented plasticwrap.

• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They canprevent steam from escaping and cause food toovercook.

• Match the amount to the size of the container.Fill containers at least half full for best results.

• Be sure the outside of the cooking container andthe inside of the microwave oven are dry beforeplacing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turninginto steam can mislead the sensor.
