HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TM MICROWAVE HOOD COMBINATION WORKS

Microwave energy is not hot. Itcauses food to make itsown heat,and it'sthis heat that cooks the food. Microwaves are like TV waves, radiowaves, or lightwaves. 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.

Metal floor Glass tray

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metalfloor, 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 WAVETM Inverter Microwave System gives you better microwave cooking performance for defrosting, cooking and reheating foods quickly and uniformly.

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

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.

•Movingthe receiverawayfromthe microwaveoven.

•Plugging the microwaveoven intoa differentoutlet so that the microwaveoven and receiverare on different branchcircuits.
