PRECAUTIONS

EXPOSURE

AVOID

EXCESSIVE

POSSIBLE
MICROWAVE

ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the
door open since open-door operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper
with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.

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.

GROUNDING
• 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.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use an extension cord. tf 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.

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.

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
COMBINATION WORKS

MICROWAVE

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
lightwaves. 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 glass tray.
Magnetron

HOOD

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 abouthalfway 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.

Oven cavity
Metal floor

G_ass tray

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.

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.

Testing your microwave

• 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.

glass container in the oven. Close the door and
I make
o testsure
the oven
put about 1 cup of cold water in a
it latches.

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

Testing your dinnerware

or cookware

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).

Operating safety precautions
• 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 tray is securely in place and can move
freely. The glass tray can move in either direction.
Make sure the glass tray is correct-side up in the
oven. Handle your glass tray with care when
removing itfrom the ovento avoidpossibly
breaking it. If your glass tray 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
glass tray. 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.
81ice 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
cookinq while standinq.

TIPS

Amount of food

Releasing pressure in foods

• If you increase or decrease the amountoffood
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

Using standing time

• The lower the temperature of the food beingput
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.

•Alwaysallowfoodto standeitherinor outofthe oven
aftercookingpowerstops.Standingtimeafterdefrosting
and cookingallowsthetemperatureto evenlyspread
throughoutthefood,improvingthecookingresults.For
insideovenstandingtime, youcanprograma" 0" power
secondstageof thecookingcycle.SeeTwo-Stage
Cooking.

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 quicklyto
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.

•The length of thestandingtimedependson howmuch

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 !/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 glass tray.
• 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
Four defrost sequences
are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the best
defrosting
method for frozen foods. The cooking guide
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. Four different defrosting

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

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.

DEFROSTING

TIPS

• When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered
is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
• Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen
food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic
bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.

HOLD WARM
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 Warm
by itself, or to automatically follow a cooking cycle.
Example: To use the Hold Warm.

TL?LIL-H
5 TRRT

• Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icy in the center, return it to the
microwave oven for more defrosting.
• The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
• The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly 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 parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does
not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil 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.

To make Hold Warm
automatically 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 hear
two tones. "Hold Warm" will come on while the oven
continues 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, 99
seconds.
• Opening the oven door cancels Hold Warm. Close
the door and touch Hold Warm, then touch
START if additional Hold Warm time is desired.
• Food cooked covered should be covered during
Hold Warm.
• Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should be
uncovered during Hold Warm.
• Complete meals kept warm on a dinner plate should
be covered during Hold Warm.
• Do not use more than one complete Hold Warm
cycle (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). The quality of
some foods will suffer with extended time.

Using Sensor Cooking
SENSOR

COOKING

POTATO (EXAMPLE)

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Sensor Cook allows you to cook most of your favorite
foods without selecting cooking times and power
levels. The oven automatically determines required
cooking time for each food item. When the internal
sensor detects a certain amount of humidity coming
from the food, it will tell the oven how much longer to
heat. The display will show the remaining heating
time. For best results by Sensor, following these
recommendations.

Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times and
power levels.
Example: To cook potato.

Touch:

Display

Shows:

Time of day.

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

• Glass Tray and outside of container should be dry
to assure best cooking results.
• Foods should always be covered loosely with
microwavable 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 is
over, the oven beeps twice and the remaining
cooking time will appear in the display window. At
this time you can open the door to stir, turn or
rearrange the food.

SENSOR

COOKING

GUIDE

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure
good Sensor cooking results.
• Always use microwavable containers and cover
them with lids or vented plasticwrap.
• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can
prevent steam from escaping and cause food to
overcook.

and time cook settingscan be adjustedto cookfood
for a longer or shorter time.
PressingMore will add 10 secondsof cooking time
eachtime you press it.

eachtime you press it.

• 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 and
the inside of the microwave oven are dry before
placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning
into steam can mislead the sensor.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructionscarefully.
For interior surfaces:

Wash often with warm, sudsy

water and a sponge or
soft cloth. Use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or a
mild detergent. Be sure
to keep the areas clean
where the door and
oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well
with clean cloth.
Over time, stains can
occur on the surfaces as the result of food particles
spattering during cooking. This is normal.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2
to 3 minutes. Steam will
soften the soil. To get rid
of odors inside the oven,
boil a cup of water with
some lemon juice or
vinegar in it.

For exterior

surfaces

and control panel: Use a soft

cloth with spray glass
cleaner. Apply the spray
glass cleaner to the soft
cloth; do not spray
directly on the oven.
NOTE: Abrasive
cleansers, steel wool
pads, gritty wash
cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can
damage the control panel and the interior and exterior
oven surfaces.

To clean grass tray and support, wash in mild,
sudsy water; for heavily
Glass tray
soiled areas use a mild
cleanser and scouring
sponge. The glass tray
and support are
Support
dishwasher safe.

Hub

To use of the metal rack:
The metal rack gives you extra space when cooking
in more than one container at the same time.
1. Place rack securely in the four plastic supports.
• Rack must not touch metal walls or back of
microwave oven.
2. Place equal amounts of food both above and
below rack.

To avoid risk of property damage:
1. Do not cook with rack on floor of the oven.
2. Use the metal rack when cooking equal amounts
of food at the same time.
3. Do not use rack to pop popcorn.
4. Rack must be on the four plastic supports when
used.

Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS

ANSWERS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the glass
tray or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish?

No. If you removeor movetheglasstray,you willget
poorcookingresults.Dishesusedin yourovenmust
fit on theglasstray.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?

You cannotuse metalpans.You can use
aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if
tray is not taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is
filled with food to absorb microwave energy).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Is it normal for the glass tray to move in either
direction?

Yes. The glass tray moves from side to side,
depending on the rotation of the motor when the
cooking cycle begins.

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears
wavy. Is this normal?

This appearance is normal and does not affect
the operation of your oven.

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it? Ithought that this should not happen,

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.

What does "standingtime" mean?

Standingtime meansthatfoodshouldbe allowedto
standeitherin or out of ovenaftercookingpower
stops.Standingtime allowsheatto spreadevenly
throughoutthe food,improvingcookingresults.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the vents.

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?

Yes, but only pop pre-packaged microwave
popcorn, and only use the Popcorn command
pad. Do not pop popcorn in any other form or by
any other method."
