Kenmore 87561 manual HI-POWER /MULTI-POWER Cooking

HI-POWER /MULTI-POWER COOKING

"HI" gives the highest power cooking possible with your 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. Many foods need slower cooking (at less than full power) in order to give you the best results. In addition to "HI" there are ninety-nine

multi-power settings. The cookbook tells you which power setting is recommended for the food being cooked.

To Cook

1.Touch CLEAR, and a beep tone will be heard. The CLEAR erases all previous settings.

2.Touch MICRO TIME. The lights above TIME and MICRO, below COOK I will go on. ("0" will show in the display window.)

3.Touch the correct numbers on the control panel to set the cooking time. The time set will show in the display window at the top of the control panel. For example:

o To set 30 seconds, you would touch "3" and then

•To set 3 minutes, touch "3", "0" and "0".

•To set 3-1/2 minutes, touch "3", "3" and "0".

Remember, the timer is a digital clock that is divided into 60 seconds. Therefore, 1/2 minute is equal to 30 seconds. Touch 30 and not 50 as with a calculator to indicate 1/2.

4.Touch MICRO POWER. The lights above MICRO and below COOK I will go on. Also, the word "HI" will show in the display window until a lower setting is entered. This is to tell you that the oven will be operating on "HI" unless a different power setting is chosen.

5.Touch numbers for desired cooking power level. For example, if the recipe calls for cooking at the "20 (LOW)" setting, you would touch "2" and "0". The display window will show "20". This means that in the LOW setting, the oven is cooking at power level 20.

NOTE: It is not necessary to touch MICRO POWER when cooking with the highest power ("HI"). To set "HI-POWER" cooking, skip steps 4 and 5 above. However, if MICRO POWER is touched, the light above MICRO will go on and the word "HI" will show in the display window. This is to let you know that the oven will be operating on "HI" power unless a different power setting is chosen.

6.Touch START. The oven begins to cook and the display window will show the time counting down. A tone will sound and the word "End" will show in the

display window for two seconds when the cooking time is completed. Then the oven will shut itself off.

4.Touch MICRO POWER.

The display window will show "HI".

5.Choose the "80 (REHEAT)" {EK3{Z_3 setting by touching the num-

bers "8" and "0". The display window will show "80". This

means the oven is cooking at power level 80.

6.Touch START. The oven be- gins to cook and the time will begin to count down in the display window.

A tone will sound and the word "End" will show in the

display window for 2 seconds when the 1-I/2 minutes are over. Then the oven will shut itself off.
