HOW YOUR CAPITALIZE KENMORE MICROWAVE 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.

Microwaves pass throughmost glass, paper, and plasticswithout heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb 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, 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.

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.

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 receivingantenna 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 heated.
