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 Microwave Hood Combination Works
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.
Magnetron
Metal floor
Glass turntable
Oven cavity
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 Cooking
The 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.
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:
•C
 leaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
•A
 djusting the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
•M
 oving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
•P
 lugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
Testing Your Microwave Oven
To 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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
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 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 hardboiled 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.
ENGLISH
• 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.
Electrical Connection
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.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
Amount 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
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 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.
• 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.)
11
ENGLISH
• 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.
Releasing Pressure in Foods
MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS
MICROWAVE 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.
12
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.
Using Your Microwave Oven

• 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 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.

Using Sensor Cooking
sensor cooking
sensor operating instructions
sensor cooking guide
Appropriate 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.
Sensor cook allows you to cook most of your
favorite foods without selecting cooking times and
power levels.

ENGLISH
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 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.

GRILL COOKING
INTRODUCTION
CRISPING TRAY
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.
The crisping tray with nonstick surface has been
designed for grill and microwave cooking. Refer
to the “Crisping Tray Cooking” table for more
information.
Do not use this as a drip pan.
When microwave cooking, place the tray on the
glass turntable.
When grilling, place the crisping tray on the
grill rack.
• 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.
• 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.

• For even browning, turn the food over after 2/3

COMBI. COOKING
Your oven has a grill + micro cooking feature which
allows you to cook food with the grill function and
the microwave alternately. This generally means it
takes less time to cook your food. Before cooking,
you can select one of three cooking modes. The
grill rack and crisping tray can be used during
cooking.
Touch:
1.
For best results, some recipes call for different heat
sources during the cooking cycle. You can program
your oven to switch from the microwave cooking
level to the grill function.

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 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.
30
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,
Grill rack

Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS				
ANSWERS
Can the microwave oven operate without the
turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a
large dish?
No. If the turntable is removed or turned over, you
will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in the
oven must fit on the turntable.
Can metal or aluminum pans be used in
the microwave oven?
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.
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either
direction?
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor
when the cooking cycle begins.
Sometimes the door of the microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of the oven.
What are the humming noises the microwave
oven makes when it is operating?
The sound of the transformer when the magnetron
tube cycles on may be heard.
Why does the dish become hot when food is
microwaved in it?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove
after cooking.
What does “standing time” mean?
“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.
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 popcorn be popped in the microwave
oven? How are the best results achieved?
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.
