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 TMMICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH
power only. To achieve a 50% power level in a conven-
tional microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the
time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFE
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it's 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 ULTRA WAVE Inverter Microwave System delivers
power continuously, to defrost more evenly and mini-
mize overcooking of food and messy food spatters.

Metal floor Glass turntable
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they 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.
ULTRA WAVETMInverter Microwave System gives you
better microwave cooking performance for defrosting,
cooking and reheating foods quickly and uniformly.
The ULTRA WAVE Inverter Microwave System is
proven technology that delivers a constant stream of
microwave power - true high, medium and low power.
The ULTRA WAVETMInverter Microwave System fea-
tures 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.
,,Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking.
,,To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,
turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway
through the cooking time.
,, If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax paper,
or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap.
Remember to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap
to _ in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to vent steam during heating
or cooking.
RADIO NTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interfer-
ence 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
,, 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
oven. different branch circuits.
