ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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. This appliance 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 plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or Sears Service Department if the grounding instructions are not

completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long cord or extension cord is used, (I) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension

cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be

a grounding-type 3 wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over

the countertop or tabletop.where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The

electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched or crushed in any way.

PROPERLY POLARIZED AND

GROUNDED OUTLET

Three-Pronged (Grounding) Plug

INSTALLATION

Install your oven by following these four simple steps:

Step I: Remove all packing material and accessories.

Step 2: 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.

HOW THE MICROWAVE/CONVECTION

OVEN WORKS

Microwave Cooking

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.

Stirrer /Convection Fan

_Oven z//TTray /Magnetron

Convection Cooking

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

Heater

/O_n _ray

Micro/Convec Cooking

With both microwave energy and hot air utilized, this method cooks

food much more quickly than any conventional method. The solid-

state 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.

Stirrer /Convection Fan

USE INSTRUCTIONS

MICROWAVE COOKING

COOKING GUIDE

"HI" POWER COOKING

"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.

FOUR-STAGE 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 Four-

Stage Cooking", see Pages 27 and 28.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED HI

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.

WHOLE MEAL COOKING

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 CONTROLLED

MULTI-POWER 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.

AUTOMATIC DEFROST

Power level will automatically change for proper thawing

of dense food items. See pages 30 thru 33 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.

USE INSTRUCTIONS

CONVECTION COOKING

COOKING GUIDE

CONVECTION COOKING

With cooking time controlled, this is the most common

way of cooking. Many foods can be cooked using this ......

method in which the oven temperature is set according to

the type of food. The oven is usually preheated before

using.

TEMPERATURE PROBE

MICRO/CONVEC 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.

AUTOMATIC PRE-HEAT

Preheating required before convection or micro/convec

cooking can be performed automatically. See page 35.

TEMPERATURE PROBE

CONVECTION 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 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.

FOUR-STAGE 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.

As you get to know your microwave oven, you may find that a particular setting is too low or too high for

the results you desire.

Multiple-power control gives you the means to obtain greater precision in setting power levels, For

instance, if you want a power level between ROAST and REHEAT. you would set the time as usual: touch

COOK CONTROL, and then touch "7" and "5". The display window will show "'75", indicating that your

oven is set to run at power level 75 -- halfway between ROAST and REHEAT.

"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 ninety-nine multi-power settings. The cookbook tells you which power setting is

recommended for the food being cooked. 4. Touch MICRO CONTROL

"HI" will show in the Display

To Cook with Multi-Power Window.

4. Touch MICRO CONTROL.

The word "HI" will show in the Display Window until a

lower power setting is entered. This tells that the Oven

will always run at highest power unless a lower power

is set.

5. Touch Numbers for Cooking Power level.

Choose the cook control setting desired and touch

numbers corresponding to it. For example, if the recipe

calls for cooking at the 20 (LOW) setting, you would

touch "2" then "0" (the number that is next to LOW

on the Cook Guide). When you touch "20", the Display

Window will read' "20". This means that in the LOW

setting, the Oven is at .power level 20.

6. Touch START. The oven begins to cook and the

display window will show the time counting down. A

tone will sound and the word "End" will show in the

display window for two seconds when the cooking time

is completed. Then the oven will shut itself off,

setting by touching the number

"8"' then "0" (the number next

to REHEAT on the Cook

Guide). The Display Window

will read "80", meaning the

Oven is at an power level 80.

AUTO DEFROSTING CHART

This chart shows which defrost course is recommended for your foods and some special directions for use with the

"Auto Defrost" feature.

AUTO DEFROSTING 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.

• 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.

• Place foods in a flat glass baking dish or microwave

roasing rack to catch drippings.

• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when

removed from the oven.

• For best results, turn foods over often as instructed

by directions of "Auto Defrosting Chart".

When the directions require "turn over once", half-

" way the total defrosting time turn foods over.

When the directions require "turn over twice", turn

foods over one-third and two-thirds of the total

defrosting time. The defrosting time shows in the

display window when START key is touched.

• The chart gives you standing times and sl;anding

techniques needed to complete the thawing process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The defrosting powe'r setting

(power level 30 DEFROST) should not be confused with

this "Auto Defrost" feature. The defrost cooking level is a

low-energy setting used to cook foods that need slow,

gentle cooking. Use the defrost cooking level to reheat

many frozen convenience foods and also to defrost small

bread items.

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. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

CONVECTION COOKING WITH AUTOMATIC PRE-HEAT

An Automatic preheating temperature of 350°F for

convection cooking has been factory set into the Oven.

temperature, the Oven starts

preheating to the 350°F when

the START is touched.

If you want to preheat the Oven

to the temperature other than

the 350 ° F, touch the desired

numbers, or example, to

preheat the Oven to 400°F,

touch 4, 0 and 0. The "400F"

will show in the Display Window.

4. Touch PAUSE. ____-

Light below STAGE 2 will go on

and "0" shows in the Display Window.

5. Touch CONVEC TIME. -_

Lights above TIME and

CONVEC will go on and "0"

shows in the Display Window.

6. Set the convection cooking

time by touching the

For example, set 45 minutes by

touching the numbers for "4".

"5", "0" and "0". "'4500" then

shows in the Display Window.

__ _Sl- :0: Z0;T

NOTE: During convection

cooking, the Oven keeps the

same temperature in Stage 2 as

for preheating. If. however,

Stage 3 is used, and a

temperature other than 350 ° is

desired, the Oven temperature

must be set in Stage 3.

7. Touch START. /'}:.

The oven is working when the

oven light is on. Lights below

STAGE I, above PAUSE and

CONVEC will go on. and

"200F" is shown in the Display

above 200 °F, the display

temperature increases in 10°F

(210F, 220F, 230F etc.). When

the temperature in the oven

reaches the preheat

temperature, "350F" or the set

temperature is displayed and a

pulsating beep tone will sound

to tell that the preheating is

over.

After preheating is over, the

beep tone will last until either

the door is opened or 30

minutes have elapsed.

The oven temperature should be

chosen in ten-degree

increments.

For example, when a

temperature of 368°F is set, you

can enter the 368°F. The Oven

will, however, stop at the

temperature of 360 ° F, omitting

the last digit 8 ° .

DEHYDRA 1

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 OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLESFOR

DRYING

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.

BEEF JERKY MARINADE RECIPE

Marinate for about 1-1/2 hours before drying. Blot dry on paper towels before Dehydrating.

i Tablespoon sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

I/2 teaspoon pepper

I/4 teaspoon garlic powder

I/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Combine all ingredients, blend well.

Add sliced beef, stir once during marinating.

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.

Rack from oven when not being used for the cooking.-

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.

CAUTION: 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: Should the Teflon coating be scratched off, the oven function will not be affected.

SPECIAL CARE

For best performance and safety, the inner door panel and the oven front frame should be free of food or

grease buildup. Wipe both often with a mild detergent. Then 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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

A. What's wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is opened?

There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.

[] Timer has not been set.

[] Light bulb is burned out.

[] START has not been touched.

Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. The microwave oven has been made to

vent this steam out the rear vent.

Q, Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

A. Yes. Never run it empty and without the ceramic tray.

Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

A. No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes, or ports, are made

to allow light to pass: they do not let microwave energy through.

Q. Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the Control Panel is touched?

A. The beep tone sounds, to assure that the setting is being properly entered.

A. Why does the Display Window flash?

Flashing numbers indicate there has been a loss of electrical power to the Oven and the Time of

Day must be reset.

Prolonged-loss of power can also result in lossof programmable recipes. Be sure they are

recorded.

Q. Why does the smoke come out of the exhaust duct at the back of oven?

A. It is normal that the smoke may come out of the duct during convection cooking.

The smoke will be produced when the food is over-cooked, and will be led to the duct.

A. Why does it take so long to pre-heat sometimes?

When the oven door is opened during the preheating, the hot air will escape from the oven _and

the oven temperature will drop, making the preheating time longer.

Avoid opening the oven door during preheating, convection cooking or micro/convec cooking,

whenever possible.

Q. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case?

A. This light is from the oven light which is located outside the oven cavity.

FOODS

Q. Whatis wrongwhenbakedfoodshavea hard,dry,brownspot?

A. Abrown, hard spot shows overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time.

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A. When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam built up inside the yolk

membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking.

Never microwave cook eggs in the shell.

A. Why are scrambled eggs sometimes alittle dry?

Eggs dry out if they are overcooked. Though the same recipe is used each time, you may need to

vary the cooking time for one of these reasons.

[] Eggs vary in size.

[] Eggs are at room temperature one time and refrigerator temperature another.

[] The shapes of utensils vary, which makes it necessary to vary the cooking time.

[] Eggs keep on cooking during standing time.

Q. Can I cook popcorn in my microwave oven?

A. Cooking popcorn in a microwave oven is not recommended.

Microwaves pop too few kernels to make the technique successful. Longer cooking does not

yield more popped corn, .but can cause fire or make the cooking dish too hot to handle and even

_reak.

Microwave popping devices are available. While safe to use, they usually do not give results

equal to regular_popping ' methods.: If used, carefully follow the instructions which come with the

popping product_ and neverleave the oven unattended while popping com.

Never use apaper bag for popping corn.

Q. What is wrong when three potatoes bake throughly and the fourth is still not cooked?

A. The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than the others and will need to cook 30 to 50 seconds

longer. Remember to allow space around each potato when baking.

For more even cooking, put potatoes in a circle.

Q. Why do baked apples sometimes burst during cooking?

A. The peel should be removed from the top half of each apple to allow for expansion of the interior

of the apple during cooking, as in regular cooking.

How are boilovers avoided?

For foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil. If you open the oven door or touch STOP

the food will stop boiling. (Remember to touch START again after closing the door, to restart

cooking.)

Q. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?

A. After microwave cooking is finished, foods keep on cooking during standing time.

This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time

depends on the density of the food.

Q. Why is an additional time required for cooking food stored in refrigerator?

A. As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. More time

is needed to cook the food just taken out of a refrigerator than food at a room temperature.
