INSTRUCTIONS--COOKING

"HI-POWER"

DELAY

COOKING

"HI" gives the highest power cooking possible with your
microwave
oven.
It is the recommended
setting
for
cooking foods with high moisture
content or for cooking
foods that need fast cooking
to maintain
their natural
flavor and texture. Your Kenmore
Microwave
Cooking
cookbook
will tell you which foods are cooked best using
the highest
microwave
cooking
power
("HI").
For
detailed directions
on "HI" (maximum
power) cooking,
see Page 1 I.

"MULTI-POWER"

COOKING

Many foods need slower cooking (at less than full power)
in order to give the best results. In addition to "HI", there
are ninety-nine "multi-power"
settings. Detailed directions for "multi-power" cooking are on Page 13.

TEMPERATURE
CONTROLLED
"HI-POWER"
COOKING
"HI-Power"
with TEMP CONTROL
allows you to cook
food to a preset temperature
using maximum
speed. Follow the directions on Page 17 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 TEMP CONTROL allows you to cook
more sensitive foods to a preset temperature
by using
slower microwave cooking speeds. See Page 18 for
detailed directions.

Pages

COOKING

Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many
foods 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 the preset time. "Two, Three or Four-Stage
Cooking"
with both TIME and TEMP CONTROL
can also be set.
For detailed directions
on "Two, Three
or Four-Stage
Cooking",

see Pages

19 and 20.

START COOKING

For those times when you must be away from the kitchen, but want dinner ready when you return,
cooking
can be started and finished at the time of day selected.
See page 21 for detailed directions.

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 by following the cookbook directions.
See page 22.

PROGRAMMED

DEFROST

Power level will automatically
change for proper thawing
of dense food items. See pages 23 thru 28 for detailed
directions.

PRESET RECIPE COOKING
"Auto Recipe 300" and "3 Customer
Programmable
Recipes"
300 Recipes were developed
by our cooking experts and
helve been preset into this oven for automatic
cooking.
To use "AUTO RECIPE 300" cooking, touch RECIPE #_
the numbers
corresponding
with the desired
Recipe(s)
shown in the cook-book
and then START.
See pages 29 thru 31 of this Manual,
as well as your
Kenmore
Microwave Cookbook
for detailed directions.
In addition
to AUTO
RECIPE
300,
3 more recipes
(Recipe #301--303)
can be programmed
by yourself for
preset recipe cooking.
See page 31 of this manual for
detailed directions.

AUTOMATIC

After reaching the set temperature,
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 sixty minutes or until the door has been
opened

GUIDE

HOOD

FAN CONTROL

The two-speed
fan can be turned on by touching the FAN
key. It is also automatically
run at high speed by a heat
sensing device.
The sensing device detects overheating
conditions
from the heating surface below and turns on
the fan to prevent
damage to the oven. Once it is run by
the sensing device,
it can not be defeated
by the FAN
key. It continuously
runs until the temperature
of the
Oven drops to a safe level.

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 se1_ng is recommended for the food being cooked.

To Cook

with

"Multi-Power"

I. Touch CLEAR.
2. Touch TIME. The lights above TIME and below STAGE
I will go on. ("0" will show in the display window.)

4,,Touch
COOK CONTROL.
The display window will show
"HI".

3. Touch numbers for the desired cooking time. The time
set will show in the display window.
4. Touch COOK CONTROL. The light above COOK will
go on. Also, the word "HI" will show in the display
window until a lower setting is entered. This is to tell you
that the oven will be operating on "HI" power unless a
different power setting is chosen.
5. Touch numbers
for desired" cooking power level. For
.example,
if the recipe calls for cooking at the "20
(LOW)"
setting, you would touch "2" and "0". The
display window will show "20". This means that the
oven is in a LOW setting, the oven is cooking 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 for 2 seconds when the cooking time is over.
Then the oven shuts itself off.

5. Choose
the "80 (REHEAT)"
setting
by
touching
the
numbers
"8" and "0". The
display
window
will show
"80". This means the oven is
cooking at power level 80.

Large sheets or pieces of aluminum foil should be avoided
because they will hinder cooking and may cause harmful
arcing. However, smaller pieces may be used to cover
areas such as poultry legs and wings. Any aluminum foil
used should be at least 1 inch from the side walls of oven.
WOOD
Wooden bowls and boards will dry out when used in the
microwave oven and may split or crack.
OTHER
Avoid using brown paper and cracked, flawed or chipped
utensils, including ovenproof glassware.
CAUTION: Do not use metal ties on any paper or plastic
bags; the ties become hot and could cause a fire.

CARE AND CLEANING
Wipe the microwave inside and out, and the hood bottom cover outside with a soft cloth and a mild
detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal and
aluminum surface. This should be done on a weekly basis-more often if needed. Never use rough cleaning
powders or pads.

of time?

A. Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point of destruction
which may result
in the food creating smoke and even possible fire damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to attend
the oven while it is in the cooking process.

Q.
Why does the exhaust fan start when the FAN key is not touched ?
A. High temperature
air from the heating surface below can cause an overheating
condition
of the Oven,
and may damage it. The exhaust fan will start automatically
to cool off the oven and prevent damage

Eggs vary in size.
Eggs are at room temperature

Q How are boil-overs avoided?
A. When cooking foods that tend to boil over, use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. 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 the cooking cycle.)
Q.

Why is a standing

A. Standing
time is recommended
after microwave
cooking is over. This is to allow foods to continue cooking
evenly throughout
for a few moments
after the actual microwave
oven cooking cycle. The amount of
standing
time depends
upon the density of the food.
