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’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.

Motai floor Glass turntable

Oven cavity

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.

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 resuits

• Always cook food for the shortest cooking lime

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, or microwave-approved paper towels or

plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a comer 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:

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.

• 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

different branch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup 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 healed.
