Gettingto Know Your
MicrowaveOven
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 ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Microwave energy isnot hot. It causesfood to make
its own heat, and it'sthis heatthat cooks the food.
Microwaves are likeTV waves, radio waves, or
lightwaves. You cannot seethem, but you can see
what they do.
A magnetron inthe microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven
where they contact food as itturns onthe turntable.

Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH
power only. To achieve a 70% power level in a
conventional microwave oven, the oven operates
70% of the time at HIGH power and 30% of the
time OFF.

Metal floor Glass tray
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounceoff a
metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by thefood.
Microwaves pass through mostglass, paper, and
plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so
food does not absorb the energy.
