Kenmore 88761 HI-POWER Cooking, Automatic Hold Warm, MULTI-POWER Cooking, Programmed Defrost

USE INSTRUCTIONS--COOKINGGUIDE

"HI-POWER" COOKING

"HI" gives the highest power cooking possible with your

microwave oven. It is a recommended setting for cooking foods with a high moisture content or for cooking foods that need fast cooking to maintain their natural flavor and texture. Your Kenmore Microwaue Cooking cook- book 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 13.

AUTOMATIC "HOLD WARM"

After reaching the set temperature,				the	oven		switches
into "Hold	Warm"	to keep	the	food	at	the	chosen
temperature.	"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 19and 20.

"MULTI-POWER" COOKING

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 direct- ions for "multi-power" cooking is on Page 15.

MULTI-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 both stages at the beginning, start the oven, and then the oven will change automatically into the second stage at the preset time. "Multi-Stage Cooking" with both TIME

and TEMP CONTROL can also be set. For detailed

directions on "Multi-Stage Cooking," see Pages 26 and 27.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED

"HI-POWER" COOKING

"HI-Power" with TEMP CONTROl. allows you to cook

food to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Follow the directions on Page 19 and you will be able to

preset the temperature you desire with the aid of the

"Temperature Controlled" Cooking Guide.

PROGRAMMED DEFROST

The power level will automatically change to allow for proper thawing of dense food items. See Pages 21 thru 25 for detailed directions.

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 20 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 cookbook directions. See Page 29 in this manual.
