###### Microwave Oven Important Information

######### ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating. Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked. The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your Convection Microwave Oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time setting elapses and add time accordingly.

######### ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

######### ABOUT FOODS

######### ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

########## The following coverings are ideal:

########## How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.

######### ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them or in the same room.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or push down on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.

######### ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

160°F For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165°F For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and

deli and carry-out “fresh” food. 170°F White meat of poultry. 175°F Dark meat of poultry.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

######### TO SET POWER LEVEL

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 70%.

|5:00| |---|

Power level Common words for power levels 100 High 90 80 70 Medium High 60 50 Medium 40 30 Med Low/ Defrost 20 10 Low

######### MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and lower your power level to 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

• Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes.

|5:00| |---|

###### Microwave Operating Instructions

######### TURBO COOKING

This oven has two pre-programmed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave automatically.

Oven temperature

Microwave power

Turbo Roast 300˚F 30% Turbo Bake 325˚F 10%

With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods are well suited to mix cooking using either Turbo Bake or Turbo Roast.

The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.

The temperatures can be changed; however, the microwave power cannot.

The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F to 450˚F. When the display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. Ex: Turbo Roast pad, 7. The temperature will change to 375˚F automatically.

• Suppose you want to bake a cake at 350˚F for 25 minutes on Turbo Bake.

######### MORE OR LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT

Should you discover that you like any of the Sensor Modes, Auto Cook, Auto Reheat or Auto Defrost slightly more done, touch the Power Level pad once after touching your choice of pads or before touching START pad. The display will show MORE.

Should you discover that you like any of the Sensor Modes, Auto Cooks, Auto Reheat or Auto Defrost slightly less done, touch the Power Level pad twice after touching your choice of pads or before touching START pad. The display will show LESS.

QUICK START Quick start is a short-cut method to set time for 1-9 minutes at power level 100 - high.

• Suppose you want to heat a cup of soup for two minutes. Press number 2 on the numeric pad. The oven will start automatically after 2 seconds, beep and then turn off automatically when finished.

ADD 30 SEC Add 30 Sec provides a convenient way to extend cooking time by 30 seconds while the oven timer is counting down. It will add 30 seconds to the time shown each time the pad is touched.

This pad may also be used as a quick start for 30 seconds of cooking. No need to touch START, the oven will start automatically.

###### Microwave General Care & Cleaning

######### Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.

######### Exterior

Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

######### Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.

######### Touch Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the Microwave Oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close door and touch STOP .

######### Interior — After Microwave Cooking

Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.

######### Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover is made from mica which requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

######### Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

######### Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks

The turntable, turntable support and racks can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.

Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.

######### Interior — After Convection

Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/ high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it — not a soap filled steel pad for use on stainless steel or porcelain surfaces.

Follow manufacturer’s directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450˚F for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.
