Windmill TM plus Super EvenWave ® System
The Windmill TM fan is a unique Kenmore microwave stirrer system
that is visible on the right wall of the oven cavity. It mixes and
redistributes the microwave energy in every direction within the
oven. The microwaves then bounce off the specially arranged
embossments on the interior walls in such a way that the energy is
evenly distributed throughout the oven. The result for you is more
even cooking, reheating, and defrosting than you have ever
experienced before in a microwave oven.

DEFROST
BY WEIGHT
The bestdefrosting time and power levelsare automatically determined depending on
the food weight you enter. The feature provides two options:
FINE DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of frozen foods, when it is important to
have the center section defrosted as well as the outside. Examples for recommendeduse
are: whole chicken, roastsand steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chickenor fish that need
preparation prior to cooking.Also. thisdefrost optionis excellent for thawing items such
as frozen ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or for taco meat.

baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.
Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a standing
time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to
complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such
as roasts.

TECHNIQUES
Advantages of microwave cooking are
speed and efficiency. For warming,
heating, and defrosting, nothing really
compares. There are a few tips that will
make microwaving easier and more
enjoyable.
Delicate
Ingredients
Some foods require special attention
when cooked in the microwave oven.
Microwave
Cooking
Principles
Because microwave cooking requires
only one-quarter to one-third the time of
conventional cooking, the same cooking
principles become even more important.
Microwave
Cooking
Techniques
Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular
pattern, when possible.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods
such as eggs, oysters, snails, sausages,
livers, clams and whole vegetables, so
they do not burst.
Covering: Covering speeds heating
and prevents spattering.
Stirring: To help food cook more quickly
and evenly.
Turning Over: To help larger foods
such as roasts or whole chickens cook
more evenly.
Reheating: Place food that is denser/
larger/thicker to the outer edge and the
smaller/thinner or more porous food to
the center.
Shielding: To prevent overcooking, thin
or bony areas can be protected with
small strips of aluminum foil.
Standing Time: Foods continue
cooking even after removal from the
oven. Standing time is necessary to
allow foods to complete cooking,
Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc. cook so quickly, they
should be watched carefully.
Quantity
The more food being cooked, the longer
you wilt have to cook it. As a general
rule, when doubling a recipe, increase
the cooking time by about 50 percent.
When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the
time by about 40 percent.
Density
Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts
and carrots, absorb microwave energy
less quickly than porous foods such as
ground beef or mashed potatoes.
Therefore, denser foods take longer to
cook.
Shape and Size
Small pieces cook faster than large
ones. For even cooking, it is important to
have all the pieces the same size.
Evenly shaped pieces, round or
doughnut shaped, microwave best.
When cooking items of varying
thickness, arrange the thick portion near
the outer edge of the dish.
Converting
Recipes
Microwave recipes will likely call for less
liquid and cooking time.
Safety Food Temperatures
For your safety, following temperature is
recommended to avoid potential food
poisoning problems.
Moisture,
Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook
faster than foods that are low in these
substances. Add a minimum of liquid to
moist foods. An excess amount of water
slows cooking.

•
open the door while the words
SENSOR COOKING
scrolls
across the display. During this
time, the oven is measuring the
amount of steam generated from the
food during the heating process.
The oven then determines the
heating or cooking time for the food.
- Room temperature should be below
95 °F (35 °C).
° Keep the inside of oven, the
turntable and the outside of cooking
containers dry. Wipe off all
spiUovers. Excessive humidity in the
oven may result in an incorrect
cooking time.
, Always cover food completely (but
not too tightly) with wax paper,
plastic wrap or casserole lids.
Loose-fitting covers may cause the
oven to miscalculate time. Never use
tightly sealed plastic containers
such as those with plastic snap
closing lids.
•
The following foods are not
recommended: Boil-in-the-bag
entrees or vegetables, raw or
uncooked food, food that must be
reheated uncovered, foods needing
a dry look or crisp surface after
reheating, frozen cheesecake, dried
foods, bread or pastry, beverages.
Do not reheat in foil containers.
When reheating delicate sauces/
dips that contain sour cream, eggs
or cream cheese, use Time cooking
on power level P30.
SOUP
• When reheating canned soups,
remove from can. Add milk or water
as directed on can. Place in a

CONVERTING
RECIPES
Cover appetizers or dips only when
called for by a recipe. Use casserole
lids, wax paper, plastic wrap, or paper
towel.
Most hot appetizers adapt well to
microwave cooking, the exception being
those wrapped in pastry. Pastry requires
the hot environment of the conventional
oven to become crisp.
Appetizers and dips that contain
cheese, mayonnaise and other
delicate ingredients are usually
heated on power level P 10. A higt_er
setting might cause separation or
drying.
° Toppings for canapes can be made
ahead and then placed on bread or
crackers just before heating.
This guarantees crispness.

Place thick sections toward edge of
the dish.
Use a rack in the dish to elevate meat
out of the juices.
Use spices, seasonings as desired.
Add salt after cooking if necessary.
Aluminum foils can be used to cover
thin parts of meat or poultry wings
and legs to prevent overcooking.
Foils should be applied toward the
end of cooking time.
Place meat fat side down.
COOKING
CHECKING
DONENESS
Beef: The color inside meat indicates
doneness, Rare roast should be red
inside. Medium is pink and gray
indicates well done.
Pork: Cooked pork meat should be gray
with clear juice.
Poultry: Juices should be clear yellow
when cooked. Legs should move freely.
Fish and Seafood: Should be opaque
in color and flake easily.
To check internal temperature of various
meats and poultry, use a microwave or
conventional meat thermometer after
removing meat from the oven. Insert the
thermometer avoiding bone or fat. Lower
temperatures are found in the center of
the roast or in the muscle close to a large
bone. Never use a conventional meat
thermometer
in the microwave oven.
= Use wax paper or plastic wrap to stop
splattering.
• Turn over or rearrange meat, poultry
and fish halfway through cooking
time.

Converting
Recipes
When adapting quick bread recipes, you
will find it necessary to reduce the
amount of leavening (baking powder or
soda) by about one-quarter the normal
amount. A bitter aftertaste is apparent if
too much leavening is used in biscuits or
muffins. Since food rises higher in the
microwave oven, you will not see a loss
in volume from the reduction of soda or
If a recipe contains buttermilk or sour
cream, do not Change the amount of
soda, since it serves to counteract the
sour taste and does not act only as a
leavening agent.
baking powder,
Breads and roils should be reheated
only until they are warm to the touch.
Overheating or overcooking makes
bread tough and rubbery.
CookinglReheating
When using a mix where leavening
cannot be reduced, allow the dough to
stand about 10 minutes before cooking
in order for some of the gas to be lost.
