PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY

(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven withthe

door open since open-door operation can

result in harmful exposure to microwave

energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper

with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing

surfaces.

particularly important that the oven door close

properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) Door (bent),

(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired

by anyone except properly qualified service

personnel.

Electrical

requirements

Observe all governing codes and

ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only,

15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is

required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.)

It is recommended that a separate circuit

serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong

outlet. Do not remove ground

prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven must be grounded.

In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current. The microwave oven is

equipped with a cord having a grounding

wire with a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper use of the

grounding can result in a risk of electric

shock.

Do not use an extension cord. 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.

Consult a qualified electrician or

serviceman if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if doubt

exists as to whether the microwave oven

is properly grounded.

Gettin 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 CAPITALIZE KENMORE MICROWAVE HOOD

COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is nothot. It causesfood to

make its own heat, and it's thisheat that cooks the

food.

Microwavesare likeTV waves, radio waves, or

lightwaves. You cannot see them, but you can see

what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces

microwaves. The microwaves move intothe oven

where they contact food as itturns on the turntable.

Magnetron

i p

Oven cavity

Metal floor Glass tray

The glass tray of your microwave oven lets

microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a

metal floor, back through the glass tray,and

are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves pass throughmost glass, paper,and

plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the

energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so

food does notabsorb the energy.

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, usewax

paper, or 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

interferenceto your radio,TV, or similar equipment.

When there isinterference, you can reduce itor

remove it by:

• Cleaning the door and sealingsurfaces ofthe

oven.

• Adjustingthe receivingantenna of theradioor

television.

• Moving the receiver away from the microwave

oven.

• Plugging the microwave oven intoa different

outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver

are on differentbranch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of coldwater in a Cook at 100% powerfor 1 minute.When the time is

glass container in the oven. Close thedoor and up,the water should be heated.

make sure it latches.

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

Test dinnerware or coolwvarebefore using. To

test a dish for safe use, putit into the ovenwith 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 hotto handle and slowing cooking

times. Cooking in metal containers not designedfor

microwave usecould damage the oven, as could

containerswith hidden metal (twist-ties,foil lining,

staples, metallic glaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

• Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing

on itwhen thedoor is open.

• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat

containers, butthe heat from the food can make

thecontainer hot.

• Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in

theoven.

• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs,wood, paper,

gourds, or clothes in the oven.

• Do not start a microwave ovenwhen it isempty.

Product life may be shortened. If you practice

programming the oven, put a container ofwater in

theoven. It is normalfor the oven door to look

wavy after theoven has been running fora while.

• Do not try to melt paraffinwax in the oven.

Paraffinwax 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 issecurely in placeand can move

freely.The turntable can move in eitherdirection.

Make sure the turntable iscorrect-side up in the

oven. Handle your turntable with care when

removing itfrom the oven toavoid possibly

breakingit. Ifyour turntable cracks or breaks,

contact your dealer fora replacement.

• When you use a browning dish, the browning

dish bottom mustbe at least3/16 inchabove the

turntable.Follow the directionssupplied with the

browningdish.

• Never cook or reheat a whole egg insidethe

shell. Steam buildup inwhole eggs may cause

them to burst,and possiblydamage the oven.

Slice hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare

cases, poached eggs have been known to

explode. Cover poached eggsand allow a

standing time of one minute beforecutting into

them.

• For best results, stir any liquid several times

during heating or reheating. Liquidsheated in

certain containers(especially containersshaped

likecylinders) may become overheated.The liquid

may splash out with a loud noise during or after

heatingor when adding ingredients (coffee

granules, tea bags, etc.). This can harm you or

damage the oven.

• Microwaves may not reachthe center of a roast.

The heatspreads to thecenter from theouter,

cooked areasjust as in regular oven cooking. This

isone ofthe reasons for lettingsome foods (for

example, roastsor baked potatoes)stand for a

while after cooking, or for stirring some foods

during thecooking time.

• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable

utensilsare notsuitableand it isdifficult to

maintain appropriatedeep-frying temperatures.

• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the

recommended cooking time, potatoesshould be

slightly firm because they will continue cooking

during standing time.After microwaving, let

potatoesstand for 5 minutes. They will finish

cooking while standing.

Electrical connection

I 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 I

system.

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS

Amount of food

• Ifyou increase or decrease theamount of food

you prepare,the time ittakes to cook that food will

also change, For example, ifyou double a recipe,

add a little morethan half the originalcooking time,

Check fordoneness and, ifnecessary, add more

time in small increments.

Starting temperature of food

• The lowerthe temperature ofthefood beingput

intothe microwaveoven, the longer it takesto cook.

Food at roomtemperature will be re-heatedmore

quicklythan food at refrigeratortemperature.

Composition of food

• Food with a lot of fat and sugarwill be heated

fasterthan food containing a lotof water. Fat and

sugarwill also reach a higher temperature than

water in the cooking process.

• The more dense the food, the longer ittakes to

heat. "Very dense" food likemeat takeslonger to

heatthan lighter,more porous food likesponge

cakes.

Sizeandshape

• Smaller pieces of food willcook fasterthanlarger

pieces,Also, same-shaped pieces cook more

evenly than different-shaped pieces,

• With foods that have different thicknesses, the

thinner partswill cook faster than the thicker parts,

Place thethinner parts of chickenwings and legs in

the center ofthe dish,

Stirring, turning foods

• Stirring and turning foods spreads heat quicklyto

the center ofthe dish and avoids overcooking atthe

outeredges of the food,

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Keep food moist

You can use any covering that lets microwavespass

through. See "Gettingto KnowYour Microwave

Oven" for materials thatmicrowaveswill pass

through, If you are using the Sensorfunction, be sure

to vent,

MICROWAVE COOKING TIPS (CONT.)

Using aluminum foil (cont.)

• Place the aluminum foil container in a glass bowl

and add some Water so that itcovers the bottom of

the container, butnot more than 1/4 in.(,64 cm)

deep, This ensures even heatingof the container

bottom,

•Always remove the container lidto avoid damage

to the oven.

•Use only undamaged containers.

•Do not use containers tallerthan 3_4in.(1.9 cm),

•Container must be at least halffilled.

•To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum 1/4in.

(,64 cm) between thealuminum container and the

walls of the oven and also between two aluminum

containers.

•Always place the container on the turntable,

•Shield parts offood that may cook quickly, such

as wing tips and legends of poultry,with small

pieces of aluminum foil."

•Heating food in aluminum foil containersusually

takes up to double the time compared to reheating

in plastic,glass, china, or paper containers.

The time when food is readywill vary depending

upon the type ofcontainer you use,

•Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutesafter heatingso

that heat is spread evenly throughout container.

Cooking you should notdo in your

microwaveoven

• Do not do canning of foods in theoven, Closed

glass jars may explode, resulting in damage to the

oveR.

• Do not use the microwave oven to sterilizeobjects

(baby bottles, etc,), It isdifficult to keep theoven at

the high temperature needed for sterilization,

Removing the rack

•When popping commercially packaged popcorn,

Remove the rack and drip pan from the oven;

Do notplace the bag of microwave popcorn on the

rack or under the rack.

CAUTION : Popping microwave popcornwith rack

and drip pan cancause fireordamage

to your microwave oven.

COOKING COMPARISON GUIDE

Cooking with your newoven offers a wide varietyof

food preparationoptions: microwave cooking,

convection cooking, and combination cooking.

Microwave cooking uses very short, high-frequency

radio waves. The movement of the microwaves

throughthe food generates heatand cooks most

foods faster than regular methods, while retainingtheir

naturaltexture and moisture. Microwave cooking

heats food directly, not thecookware or the interiorof

the oven. Reheating iseasy and defrosting is

particularlyconvenient because lesstime isspent in

food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air

around the food, creating even browning and sealed-

in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food

surfaces,

Combination cooking combines microwave energy

with convection to cook with speed and accuracy,

while browning and crisping to perfection,

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking,

or combinationcooking tocook by time, Simply preset

the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns

off automatically,

The following guide showsat a glance thedifference

between microwave,convection, and combination

cooking,

COOKWARE GUIDE

Microwave Cooking

Most heat-resistant, non-metalliccookware is safe for

use in your microwave oven,

However,to test cookware before using, follow these

steps:

1,Place theempty cookware in the microwave oven.

2. Measure 1 cup ofwater in a glass measuring cup

and placeit in the oven besidethe cookware,

3, Microwave on 100% power for 1minute. Ifthe dish

iswarm, itshould not be used for microwave

cooking,

Combination Cooking

•Glass or glass-ceramicbaking containers are

recommended, Be sure not touse items with metal

trim as it may cause arcing(sparking)with oven wall

or oven shelf, damaging thecookware, the shelf or

the oven.

• Heat-resistantplastic microwave cookware (safe to

450°F)may be used, but isnot recommended for

foods that requirecrusting or all-around browning,

because plasticis a poor conductor of heat,

Convection Cooking

• Metal Pans are recommended for all types of baked

products, butespeciallywhere browning or crusting

isimportant.

• Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and

piesbecause they absorb heatand produce a

crisper crust.

• Shinyaluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies,

or muffins because these pans reflectheat and help

producea light,tender crust,

• Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or bakingdishes

are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to

the cleanabilityof glass,

power each number pad stands for, and the cook

power name usually used.

It also tells you when to use each cook power. Follow

recipe or food package instructions if available.

NOTE: Refer to a reliablecookbook for cooking times

basedon the 950 Watt cook power of your microwave

oven.

AUTO DEFROST

Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.

The auto defrost feature provides you with the best

defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto Defrost

Table will show you which defrost sequence is

recommended for the food you are defrosting.

For added convenience, the Auto Defrost

includes a built-in beep mechanism that reminds

you to check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get

best defrost results. Three different defrost settings

are provided.

NOTE:

When you touch the START/ENTER pad, the display

changes to defrost time count down. The oven will

beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open

the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.

Remove any portions that have thawed.

Return frozen portions to the oven and touch

START/ENTER to resume the defrost cycle.

OPERATING TIPS

• 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 more defrost help, please read "Defrosting Tips"

following the Auto Defrost Table.

This table shows you food type selections and the

weights you can set for each type, For best

results, loosen or remove covering on food.

FOOD TOUCH WEIGHTS YOU

Auto Defrost CAN SET

(tenths of a pound)

Meat 1 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Poultry 2 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Fish 3 .1 to 6.0 (45g to 2722g)

Bread 4 .1 to 1.0 (45g to 454g)

Rapid 5 only 1 lb.

Weight conversion table

You are probably used to food weights as being in

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for

example, 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound). 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.
