If 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.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONSEnsure proper groundexists before useENGLISH
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it is this heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or light waves. 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 turntable.The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. They then bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, 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.Sensor CookingThe Microwave System features Sensor Cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.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 about halfway 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, microwave-approved paper towels, or plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.6Getting to Know Your Microwave OvenThis 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.Testing Your Microwave OvenTo test the oven put about 1 cup (250 ml) of cold water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door and make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 1 minute. When the time is up, the water should be heated.Radio InterferenceUsing 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.• 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.How Your Kenmore Microwave Hood Combination WorksMagnetronMetal floor Glass turntable Oven cavity
7GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Testing Your Dinnerware or CookwareOperating Safety PrecautionsElectrical ConnectionTest 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).• 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, place 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 turntable is securely in place and can move freely. The turntable can move in either direction. Make sure the turntable is correct-side up in the oven. Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your turntable 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 in. (0.5 cm) above the turntable. 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. Slice 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 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 cooking while standing.If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer.Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.ENGLISH

11MICROWAVE COOKING TIPSMICROWAVE COOKING TIPSAmount of Food• If you increase or decrease the amount of food 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• The lower the temperature of the food being put 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.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 denser the food, the longer it takes to heat. 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 and Turning Foods• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quickly to the center of the dish and avoids overcooking at the outer edges of the food.Covering FoodCover food to: • Reduce splattering • Shorten cooking times • Keep food moistYou 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.Releasing Pressure in Foods• Several foods (for example: baked potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or membrane. Steam can build up under the membrane during cooking, causing the food to burst. To relieve the pressure and to prevent bursting, pierce these foods before cooking with a fork or toothpick.Using Standing Time• Always allow food to stand either in or outside the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after defrosting and cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results. For standing time inside the oven, program a “0” power second stage of the cooking cycle. See “Two-Stage Cooking.”• The length of the standing time depends on the amount of food being cooked and how dense it is. Sometimes it can be as short as the time it takes to remove the food from the oven and move it to the serving table. However, with larger, denser food items, the standing time may be as long as 10 minutes. Arranging Food For best results, place food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways:• If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking.• When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, such as chicken breasts, place the smaller or thinner area of the food toward the center of the dish where it will be heated last.• Layer thin slices of meat on top of each other.• When you cook or reheat whole fish, score the skin – this prevents cracking.• Do not let food or a container touch the top or sides of the oven. This will prevent possible arcing (sparking.) ENGLISH
12MICROWAVE COOKING TIPSMICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)Using Aluminum Foil Metal containers should not be used in a microwave oven. There are, however, some exceptions. If you have purchased food which is prepackaged in an aluminum foil container, refer to the instructions on the package. When using aluminum foil containers, cooking times may be longer because microwaves will only penetrate the exposed top of the food and not the bottom or the sides. If you use aluminum containers without package instructions, follow these guidelines:• 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. (0.64 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 1⁄4 in. (0.64 cm) between the aluminum container and the walls of the oven and also between two aluminum containers.• Always place the container on the turntable.• 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 the container.Cooking you should not do in your microwave oven• Do not can 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.• Do not deep fry foods.Removing the Grill Rack• When popping commercially packaged popcorn, remove the grill rack and crisping tray from the oven; do not place the bag of microwave popcorn on the rack.wCAUTION: Popping microwave popcorn with the grill rack and crisping tray can cause fire or damage to the microwave oven.

The oven will count down the cooking time you set without cooking.NOTE: Refer to a reliable cookbook for cooking times based on the 1000-Watt cook power of your microwave oven.MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS COOK Power LEVEL WHEN TO USE IT100% of full power 9 = 90% of full power8 = 80% of full power7 = 70% of full power 6 = 60% of full power 5 = 50% of full power 4 = 40% of full power 3 = 30% of full power 2 = 20% of full power1 = 10% of full power0 = 0% of full powerHighMedium-High Medium Medium-Low, Defrost LowNo power• Quickly heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups and beverages. • Cooking tender cuts of meat, ground meat, or chicken.• Heating cream soups.• Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles.• Cooking and heating foods that need a Cook Power lower than high (for example, whole fish and meat loaf) or when food is cooking too fast.• Reheating a single serving of food.• Cooking that requires special care, such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards.• Finishing cooking casseroles.• Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts.• Simmering stews.• Melting chocolate.• Heating pastries.• Manually defrosting foods, such as bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods.• Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream.• Keeping food warm.• Taking chill out of fruit. • Power level “0” allows the temperature to evenly spread through the food, improving the cooking results.
17USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLEYou are probably used to food weights expressed in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 oz. [115 g] equals 1/4 lb. [0.11kg]). 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 pound, you can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove the covering on food.

20USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN 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.• 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 deep packages.• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.• 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 Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.• 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.This feature allows you to choose the time you want to defrost.Example: To defrost for 3 minutes.Touch: Display Shows:3.

SENSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSensor 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 in cooking with the Sensor, follow these recommendations:• Food cooked with the sensor system should be at normal storage temperature.• Glass Tray and outside of the container should be dry to assure best cooking results.• Foods should always be loosely covered with microwavable plastic wrap, waxed paper, or a lid.• Do not open the door or touch the STOP/Clear pad during the sensing time. When the 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 GUIDEAppropriate containers and coverings help assure good Sensor cooking results.• Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.• Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.• 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.21USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Using Sensor Cooking SENSOR POPCORN1.Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your favorite foods without selecting cooking times and power levels.Example : To pop popcorn.Touch: Display Shows:When the cook time is over, you will hear fourbeeps and COOK END will display.Time of day.2. popcornscrolls across display.SENSOR COOKINGMORE/LESSBy using the More or Less pads, all of the sensor cook and time cook settings can be adjusted to cook food for a longer or shorter time.Pressing More will add 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press it.Pressing Less will subtract 10 seconds of cooking time each time you press it.Example: To adjust the cooking time.Touch: Display Shows:NOTE: Remaining time will be decreased by 10 seconds.1.

25USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN This oven cooks the outside of foods much like conventional radiant heat, while also penetrating the surface so the inside cooks simultaneously. Grilling is cooking under direct heat. This oven can grill meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables, or toast bread. Your oven uses grill cooking whenever you use the Grill Command Pads.• Foods that are suitable for broiling should be tender, moderately lean and no more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) thick. Fish steaks, chicken breasts, and hamburgers are ideal for grilling.• For even browning, turn the food over after 2/3 of grilling time.• Do not leave the door open for a long period of time when using the grill element. This will cause the oven temperature to drop and could affect cooking performance.GRILL COOKING INTRODUCTIONAUTO GRILL COOKING1.Use this function to cook food without entering a cook time.

30Caring for Your Microwave OvenTo 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 instructions carefully.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 a clean cloth. Over time, stains can appear 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 the turntable and turntable support, wash in mild, sudsy water; for heavily soiled areas use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge. The turntable and turntable support are dishwasher safe.To clean the crisping tray and grill rack, wash with a mild cleaner, water, and a wash cloth. Dry completely. Do not use abrasive cleanser or scrubbers.Grill rackCrisping trayGrill rackCrisping tray

34Questions and AnswersCan the microwave oven operate without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?Can metal or aluminum pans be used in the microwave oven?Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?Sometimes the door of the microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?What are the humming noises the microwave oven makes when it is operating?Why does the dish become hot when food is microwaved in it?What does “standing time” mean?Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?Can popcorn be popped in the microwave oven? How are the best results achieved?QUESTIONS ANSWERSNo. If the turntable is removed or turned over, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in the oven must fit on the turntable.Aluminum foil can be used 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 the walls or the door.Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of the oven.The sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on may be heard.As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove after cooking.“Standing time” means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for addtional time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other cooking.Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents.Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufactures guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
35TroubleshootingMICROWAVE OVEN DOES NOT WORKCOOKING TIMESThe microwave oven will not operate and the display is blank. The microwave oven will not run.PROBLEM CAUSE• The power supply cord is not plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. (See the “Electrical Requirements” section on page 5 and the “Electrical Connection” section on page 7).• A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.• A power failure has occurred.• You are using the oven as a timer. Touch STOP/Clear to cancel the Kitchen Timer.• The door is not firmly closed and latched.• You did not touch START.• You did not follow directions exactly.• A function set earlier has not been cleared. Touch STOP/Clear to cancel that function.Food is undercooked. The display shows a time counting down, but the oven is not cooking.PROBLEM CAUSE• The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal. Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.• The cook power is not at the recommended setting.
