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 ULTRA HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it'sthis 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.

Amagnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven

where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Magnetron

Oven cavity

Metal floor Glass tray

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 plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

ULTRA WAVE TM Inverter Microwave System ULTRA WAVE TM Inverter Microwave System gives you better microwave cooking performance for defrosting, cooking and reheating foods quickly and uniformly.

The ULTRA WAVETM Inverter Microwave System is proven technology that delivers a constant stream of microwave power - true high, medium, and low power.

WAVE TM MICROWAVE

Conventional microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. To achieve a 70% power level in a conventional microwave oven, the oven operates

70% of the time at HIGH power and 30% of the time OFF.

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, use wax

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

Usingyour microwaveoven may causeinterference

to your radio,TV, or similarequipment.When there is interference,you can reduce it or removeit by:

•Cleaning the doorand sealingsurfacesof the oven.

•Adjusting the receivingantenna of the radioor television.
