USE INSTRUCTIONS--COOKING GUIDE
"HI-POWER" COOKING
"HI" gives the highest power cooking possible with your
microwave oven. It is the recommended setting for
cooking foods with high moisture content or for cooking
foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural
flavor and texture. Your Kenmore Microwave Cooking
cookbook will tell you which foods are cooked best using
the highest microwave cooking power ("HI"). For
detailed directions on "HI" (maximum power) cooking,
see Page 1 I.
"MULTI-POWER" COOKING
DELAY START COOKING
For those times when you must be away from the kit-
chen, but want dinner ready when you return, cooking
can be started and finished at the time of day selected.
See page 21 for detailed directions.
WHOLE MEAL COOKING
The Metal Rack increases the oven cooking space. To
cook two or more different foods at one time, choose
their proper places inside the oven by following the cook-
book directions. See page 22.
Many foods need slower cooking (at less than full power)
in order to give the best results. In addition to "HI", there
are ninety-nine "multi-power" settings. Detailed direc-
tions for "multi-power" cooking are on Page 13.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED
"HI-POWER" COOKING
"HI-Power" with TEMP CONTROL allows you to cook
food to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Fol-
low the directions on Page 17 and you will be able to preset
the temperature you desire with the aid of the "Tempera-
ture Control" cooking guide.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED
"MULTI-POWER" COOKING
"Multi-Power" with TEMP CONTROL allows you to cook
more sensitive foods to a preset temperature by using
slower microwave cooking speeds. See Page 18 for
detailed directions.
PROGRAMMED DEFROST
Power level will automatically change for proper thawing
of dense food items. See pages 23 thru 28 for detailed
directions.
PRESET RECIPE COOKING -
"Auto Recipe 300" and "3 Customer
Programmable Recipes"
300 Recipes were developed by our cooking experts and
helve been preset into this oven for automatic cooking.
To use "AUTO RECIPE 300" cooking, touch RECIPE #_
the numbers corresponding with the desired Recipe(s)
shown in the cook-book and then START.
See pages 29 thru 31 of this Manual, as well as your
Kenmore Microwave Cookbook for detailed directions.
In addition to AUTO RECIPE 300, 3 more recipes
(Recipe #301--303) can be programmed by yourself for
preset recipe cooking. See page 31 of this manual for
detailed directions.
AUTOMATIC "HOLD WARM"
After reaching the set temperature, the oven switches into
"Hold Warm" to keep the food warm.
"Hold" will show in the display window and will continue
to show for up to sixty minutes or until the door has been
opened or STOP has been touched. See Pages 17 and
18.
FOUR- STAGE COOKING
Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many
foods will cook better when cooked for a period of time at
one power setting and then cooked for another period of
time at a different power setting. With a cake, for example,
the cookbook may recommend cooking at the "60
(Bake)" setting, followed by a period of cooking time at the
"HI" setting. "Bake" allows the cake to rise gently, and
then "HI" finishes the cooking cycle. You can preset up
to four stages at the beginning, start the oven, and then
the oven will change automatically into the second stage
at the preset time. "Two, Three or Four-Stage Cooking"
with both TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also be set.
For detailed directions on "Two, Three or Four-Stage
Cooking", see Pages 19 and 20.
AUTOMATIC HOOD FAN CONTROL
The two-speed fan can be turned on by touching the FAN
key. It is also automatically run at high speed by a heat
sensing device. The sensing device detects overheating
conditions from the heating surface below and turns on
the fan to prevent damage to the oven. Once it is run by
the sensing device, it can not be defeated by the FAN
key. It continuously runs until the temperature of the
Oven drops to a safe level.
