INSTALLATION
Install your oven by following these four simple steps:
Step

Remove

Step

Place the oven in the level location of your choice, but make sure there is at least one inch of
space on the top and at the rear for proper ventilation. The top of the oven should be kept clear
and the plastic feet must be kept on the oven so there is air flow ventilation. An exhaust outlet
is at the rear of the oven. Blocking the outlet can damage the oven.

Step 3:

Plug your oven into a Standard 120 volt household outlet. Besurethe
electrical circuit is at least
15 amp and that your microwave/convection
oven is the only appliance on the circuit.

Step

When your microwave/convection
oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes
after a power interruption, the numbers in the display window will show "0:00" plus the hours
and minutes that have elapsed since the oven was plugged in or the power was restored. This
means that the TIME OF DAY clock must be set. Refer to "Setting Time of Day" below.

HOW THE MICROWAVE/CONVECTION
OVEN WORKS
Microwave

Cooking

Stirrer / Convection

Fan

Using the energy of microwaves only, food is heated quickly without
altering the color or shape. Microwaves generated by a magnetron are
uniformly distributed by the fan so that the food in the oven is heated
and cooked. Microwave power can be adjusted in 99 steps, enabling
the various kinds of foods to cook at most desirable cooking power
for the best results.

_Oven

Convection

Cooking

z//TTray

Stirrer/Convection

This is a way of cooking with hot air alone that heats and cooks food
from the outside. This method allows food to be browned evenly
without losing any of the juices. Air heated by the heater is uniformly
circulated in the oven by a fan to enable the heating and cooking of
food. Since hot air remains in the oven as it circulates, cooking is very
efficient. The temperature
inside the oven can be controlled according
to the type of food being cooked.

Stirrer / Convection

Fan

With both microwave energy and hot air utilized, this method cooks
food much more quickly than any conventional method. The solidstate control alternates cooking energy between microwave and hot
air cycles to provide efficient cooking fully utilizing the advantages of
both microwave and hot air cooking systems.
The dehydration
cooking is performed in the same mode.

USE

INSTRUCTIONS

MICROWAVE
"HI" POWER

COOKING

FOUR-STAGE

"HI" gives highest power and is a recommended
setting
for cooking foods with high moisture content or for foods
that need fast cooking to keep natural flavor and texture..
Your Kenmore Microwave Convection Cookbook will tell
you which foods are cooked best using highest microwave
power or "HI". For detailed directions on "HI" (max
power) cooking, see page 19.

MULTI-POWER

COOKING

Many foods need slower cooking at less than full power in
order to give you the best results. In addition to "HI",
there are ninet_,'-nine multi-power settings. Detailed
directions for multi-power cooking are on pages 20 and
21.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROLLED
POWER COOKING

"HI" power with Temperature
Control lets you cook food
to a preset temperature
using maximum speed. Follow the
directions on page 25 and you will be able to preset the
temperature
you desire with the aid of the Temperature
Control Cooking Guide.

TEMPERATURE
MULTI-POWER

CONTROLLED
COOKING

Multi-power with Temperature
Control allows you to cook
more sensitive foods to a preset temperature
using slower
microwave speeds. See page 26 for detailed directions.

"HOLD

WARM"

After completing
your cooking,
the oven switches
into
"Hold Warm"
to keep the food warm. "Hold" will show in
the display window
and will continue
to show for up to
t00 minutes or until the door has been opened or STOP
has been touched.
See Page 18.

GUIDE

COOKING

Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many
food will cook better when cooked for a period of time at
•one power setting and-then'cooked
for another period of
time at a different power setting. With a cake, for
example, the cookbook may recommend cooking at the
"60 (Bake)" setting, followed by a period of cooking time
at the "HI" setting. "Bake" allows .the cake to rise gently,
and then "HI" finishes the cooking cycle..You can preset
up to four stages at the beginning, start the oven, and
then the oven will change ,automatically into the second
stage at th_ preset time. "Two, Three or Four-Stage
Cooking" with_oth TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also
be set. For detailed directions on "Two, Three or FourStage Cooking", see Pages 27 and 28.

WHOLE

The Metal Rack increases the oven cooking space. To
cook two or more different foods at one time, choose
their proper places inside the oven byfollowing the
Cookbook directions. See page 29 in this manual.

TEMPERATURE

With cooking time controlled, this is the most common
way of cooking. Many foods can be cooked using this ......

the type of food. The oven is usually preheated before
using.

COOKING

This function enables a type of convection cooking in
which the temperature
of the food is controlled by a
temperature
probe. See page 37.
This cooking mode is suitable for cooking meat.

MICRO/CONVEC

GUIDE

COOKING

Since both microwaves and hot air are used, food can be
cooked very quickly. Cooking this way utilizes the
features of both the microwave and hot air systems and
finishes food nicely. See page 38.

PROBE

COOKING

The temperature
probe is used to control the temperature
of the food in the combination of microwave and
convection cookings. This method is useful when cooking
meat. See page 40.

COOKING

With the memory feature that controls four different
stages of cooking, four-stage cooking can be performed
automatically.
For example, the first stage can be set for preheating, the
second for convection cooking, third for micro/convec
cooking and fourth for convection cooking.
Just start the oven for automatic sequential cooking.
It is also possible to set a combination of microwave and
convection cooking in each stage. See pages 41 and 42.

DEHYDRATION

COOKING

This function enabies apples, peaches, berries and any
other seasonal fruit as well as meats to be dried.
To get efficient dehydration cooking, the Oven has been
programmed
itself to alternate cooking energy between
microwave and hot air cycles.
This method can dehydrate food much more quickly than
any conventionally
dehydrated cooking. See pages 43 thru
49 for detailed directions.

• For best results, turn foods over often as instructed
by directions of "Auto Defrosting Chart".
When the directions

INSTRUCTIONS.

For best results, remove fish/seafood meat/poultry
from its original paper or plastic closed 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.

• The chart
techniques

• When it is difficult to remove the wrap from the foods,
defrost the wrapped food for about a quarter of the
total defrost time, which is displayed at the beginning
of the defrost cycle. Remove the foods from oven and
remove the wrap from foods.

CONVECTION

COOKING

The convection cooking will be best used for items hke souffles, breads, angel food cakes, pizza, and for
broiling meat and fish.
No special techniques
are required to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking, although
you may need to use some lower temperature by 25°F "- 35°F than in a conventional oven cooking.
Because the convection cooking method is identical to a conventional
oven except for increased efficiency
of fan-circulated hot air.
When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, some recipes occassionally
call for
preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do in the conventional
oven. But heavier dense foods
such as meats, casseroles, poultry can be started without preheating.
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils may be used in convection cooking.

BAKING PAN/METAL
UTENSILS
Any baking pan less than 13" x 13" can be used with this
oven.

The Baking Pan and metal utensils, should be placed on
the Metal Rack as shown.
The Baking Pan and metal utensils should only be
used for convection
cooking. Never use for
microwave or micro/convec
cooking since arcing
may happen and damage to the Oven may result.

DEHYDRA
DEHYDRATION

COOKING

DEHYDRATION
Dehydrated foods require little storage space and no special containers. You can store them in tightly
sealed plastic bags or any other clean, air-tight container. This makes them readily available as a source of
food any time there is a need. Drying foods while they are in plentiful supply and less expensive is money
saving. Not only does it save you money but gives a greater variety of foods all year round.
For campers or hikers, it is a convenient way to take food for outdoor trail eating or camper cooking.
Dried foods, properly stored, will keep up to a year.

WHAT

TO DEHYDRATE?

Almost anything! Fruit can be used to make some of the fruit "leathers" that are such nutritious snacks.
Apples, peaches, berries or any other seasonal fruit can be dried for year round snacking. Almost
anything that suits your taste can be dehydrated.
Vegetables can be dried and packed singly or in combinations to add to soups and stews. Use vegetables
from your garden or from a local farm stand. Herbs from your garden should be dehydrated and packed
singly or in combinations for spaghetti sauce, stews, chicken dishes. What a wonderful gift a jar of your
own home grown and dried herbs would make!
There are also craft items that can be dried. Flowers from your spring garden! The use of this feature in
this oven is practically limitless.
There is no mystery about drying foods. In fact most of us eat dried foods every day. Generally, pasta,
beans, spices, raisins and even coffee are dried when you buy them.

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Dry only good quality fruits and vegetables. If there is a blemish, it will appear in the finished product.
The one exception to this is in making fruit leathers. Here you can cut away pieces of the fruit that are
spoiled, use up fruits from the freezer that have overstayed their time, even canned fruits that have been
around too long.
The thinner the slices, the faster the drying.
Place food one layer thick on the trays. Different kinds of foods can be dried at the same time, but it is
wise not to mix onion and onion products with less pungent foods, such as fruits.
During the drying period, check food for doneness. When moisture appears on top of the food, blotting
with a paper towel will speed dehydration. Timing will depend on the amount of moisture in the food.
Removing moisture by pressing the food may shorten the drying time, but it will also remove natural
vitamins in the moisture. It is best for this to remain in the food and dry out slowly for best quality of
color and content.
Generally, vegetables are dried when they have become leathery or brittle. Fruits should be leathery and
pliable and should not exhibit any moisture when squeezed. Meats will be dark in color when properly
dried and from sharp points when bent. Herbs and leaf-type plants will become brittle and crumble easily
when fully dried. It is better to overdry than to underdry.
Drying times on some products like apricots and grapes are quite long. If you wish to use these, use both
racks for maximum results. If you wish to use the oven for some other cooking, remove the food on the
drying racks to a place where they will be kept clean and away from moisture. When the other cooking is
finished, allow the oven to return to low heat and continue the drying. Don't interrupt drying process for
too long.

PREPARATION
DRYING

OF FRUITS

AND

VEGETABLESFOR

Fruits may or may not be treated with an ascorbic acid solution before drying. However, it will hold its
color better if treated. If a fruit such as apples or bananas has a tendency to darken, dip it in a solution of
I teaspoon ascorbic acid to I quart water. (Ascorbic acid, otherwise known as Vitamin C, can be
purchased at drugstores
or markets where freezing supplies are sold) If you prefer, you can brush the
fruit with lemon juice. Some berries, such as blueberries, will dry faster if steamed just long enough to
break the skin. Vegetables, with the exception of onions, garlic, peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms,
should be blanched (see Blanching Guide on page in your Kenmore MICRO/CONVECTION
Cookbook)
before dehydration.
Drain the blanched vegetables well and put on trays to dry. This blanching will stop
enzymatic action and means that the dried vegetables will be of better quality and will keep longer.

DRYING

HERBS

All herbs leaves should be dried on the stem, when possible. There is no special preparation, except if the
herbs are dusty. Then they should be rinsed in cold water and dried well. Drying time will vary with
amount of herbs and moisture. Herbs should be dried at a lower setting than the automatic Dehydration
setting, which is 150 ° F. Dry at 120° F to preserve flavor oils and vitamins. Here'is ap example of how to
program for a lower oven dehydration setting.
TO PROGRAM DEHYDRATION
AT 120°F. For I Hour of dehydration.
I. Touch DEHYDRATE TIME.
2. Touch the numbers for "I", "0" and "0".
3. Touch OVEN TEMP/PRE-HEAT.
4. Touch the numbers for "i', "2" and "0".
5. Touch START.
The oven is now set to dehydrate for I hour at 120F degrees. You may adjust the dehydration oven
setting from 100 ° F to 180° F at any time it is needed.

FRUIT

LEATHERS

Fruit leathers are one of the_ most enjoyable things: for snacking you can easily make. They are a
combination of fruits, nuts, and if desired; honey or corn syrup to sweeten slightly. Most fruits have
enough sugar to give enough sweetness to the leather. Try this with fruit leathers. Remove leather from
plastic wrap and spread with soft cream cheese, then roll up and refrigerate. This can then be sliced
crosswise to provide a delicious, wholesome snack, or hors d'oeuvre.
Fruit leathers can be a good way to use up fruit that may be a little too ripe for slicing uniformly or eating
whole. Just use your imagination and use your own combinations
of fruits. Not usually suitable, are
grapefruit, lemons, persimmons.

TO PREPARE
Place chunks of fruit in a blender and puree the mixture. The fruit should be ripe. Underripe fruit will not
improve with dehydrating.
To yellow or light colored fruit add I tablespoon of lemon or lime juice for each
quart of fruit.
Line tray with plastic warp, tape it to all four sides with masking tape. Use about 2-1/2 cups of puree for a
leather about 18" × 14" × I/4". Pour the puree onto the prepared drying trays. Slightly tilt the tray to
spread mixture evenly. Leave at least a I" border to allow for spreading during drying. Dry until it feels
leather-like and is pliable. There should be no sticky spots in the center.
It is easier to roll the leather while it is still warm. Remove while warm and roll it up. The Dehydration
timing will vary. For best results begin testing for doneness after 4--5 hours. Leathers may take 6 hours.
If you enjoy spices, you can add a pinch of spice or flavoring to the puree. Taste before adding too much.
Spi_es and flavorings tend to concentrate
when dried, use sparingly...you
can always add more.
While leathers are still quite moist, you might like to sprinkle with shredded coconut, or chopped nuts and
raisins. They will dry onto the leather and provide an attractive garnish as well as good taste.

BEEF JERKY
It is important in making beef jerky to select lean cuts of meat and to remove any far around the edges.
Flank steak, brisket, round steak, can all be used. For greatest tenderness,
slice very thinly against the
grain and cut into strips. Pieces of meat may be sprinkled with sea salt, according to individual taste, or
marinating for several hours, then draining well, will add tenderness and flavor.

HOW

TO STORE

YOUR

DEHYDRATED

FOODS

Clean, airtight jars may be used for storing. Jars should be placed in a cool area and protected from light.
Using plastic bags is also a convenient method. Since heat and light affect the quality and shelf-life of dried
foods, these bags may be kept in cartons in a cool place. We suggest that you store your dried foods in
the approximate
size portions, you will be using, This eliminates frequent exposure to air and the resultant
•absorption of moisture. Plastic ziplocbags
available in different sizes are ideal for the purpose. Label all
packages so you can identify the contents.

HOW TO USE DEHYDRATEDFOODS
Uses for dehydrated
foods can be as varied as the imagination of the cook. Most of the fruits you
dehydrate are deliciously eaten just "as is" for snacks. This is also true of fruit leathers and beef-jerky.
A wonderful substitute for "junk" foods for children. Banana slices, apple slices, cherries, pineapple, pears,
apricots and peaches are all appetizing tidbits to eat.
Soak dried foods in water or juice and beat in a blender to make a nutritious drink.
Dried fruits may also be "rehydrated"
by soaking in water or fruit juice and simmered by microwave to
provide a delicious dessert or side dish. Instead of serving potato chips with dips, be different and serve
dried cucumber chips. Sprinkle I/8" slices with a little salt and dehydrate. Serve them for a different flavor
with variety of dips.
Dehydrated soup ingredients can be heated with water on the microwave cycle. Dried vegetables can
added to stews and casseroles as needed. They may also be simmered in water until tender and served as
you would a fresh vegetable.

ALL ABOUT

TIMING

All suggested timing are approximate.
It is not possible to be absolutely accurate in predicting the time to
the minute for dehydration.
It all depends upon the thickness of the food, the moisture content, and the
quality of the food being dehydrated.
It is always up to you... The Cook to determine when the trays
should be removed. Two trays of apples which may have a suggested timing of 5--6 hours, when sliced in
rings, may only take 4--4-1//2 hours when the rings are cut in half, and sliced a bit thinner.
For even results foods should be approximately
the same size and thickness. If both racks are used,
reverse rack position after half the predicted dehydration time.
Timings may change with even the same variety of foods used before. Look for the clues described in the
dryness test and do taste. For chewy fruits, you may wish to use less time. Experiment for texture until
you discover your taste for desired doneness. Above all, try whatever foods are in season and in
abundance, since that is always the best time to "put away" foods. That is when flavors are at their best
and the food least expensive. That is what dehydration
is all about.

CARE

AND

CLEANING

The oven cavity is made of stainless steel and should be cleaned with a detergent specially formulated for
stainless steel.
After convection cooking in particular, the interior of the oven tends to be stained with spattered oil. It is
recommended
that the oven be cleaned each time after use before the oil spatters harden and become difficult
to remove.
For best performance and safety, the inner door panel should be free of food or grease buildup Wipe both often
with a mild detergent, rinse, and wipe dry. Never use rough powders or pads.
After cleaning the control panel, touch CLEAR. This will clear any entries that might have been entered
accidentally while cleaning the panel.
After dehydrating foods such as onions and marinated beef jerky, it is normal to have some odor
retention in the oven for a few days.
For cleaning of the Dehydration Rack and Net, it is recommended
that a mild detergent, soft cloth or
nylon brush for stubborn stains such as beef jerky marinade can be used.
REMOVABLE PARTS
After each use of the Temperature
Probe, it must be removed from the socket. Use pot holder, as the
wire, plug and sensor sections may be hot. Wipe food or liquid from ser_sor with damp cloth.
The Ceramic Tray and Metal Rack can be removed for cleaning at the sink. Wipe up spillovers with paper
towel or cloth before removal of tray.
Wash in warm soapy water and dry. Do not use rough cleaning powders, steel wood, or rough cleaning
pads.
The fan cover (inside oven top) can be gently wiped in place or removed for washing with detergent in a
sink. Handle with care when washing in a sink. The fan cover can be removed by taking out the two
screws used to hold it in place and pulling off the cover carefully. Avoid hitting or bending the metal
stirrer blade, as this cause uneven cooking or microwave power loss. To replace, set the cover in the rails
at the rear of the oven and secure it using the two screws at front.

Wipe the fan cover after each use to keep the food soils from falling onto the cooking
tray. The fan cover is coated with Teflon' for easy Cleaning. Do not apply abrasive powders, metal or
nylon wash pads, nor any metal objects such asknives and forks to the fan cover. Hard objects and
abrasive cleaners may scratch the coating. To clean, use only a foam sponge or wash cloth with a mild
kitchen cleaner.
NOTE:

the Teflon coating be scratched

off, the oven function

will not be affected.
