IMPORTANT
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING m Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or Sears Service Department if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly g_rounded.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be agrounding-type 3wire cord, and
(3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the cOuntertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.
The electrical power cord must be kept dry and must not be pinched o_ crushed in any way.
PROPERLY POLARIZED AND
GROUNDED OUTLET
Three-Pronged (Grounding)i Plug

INSTALLATION
Install your oven by following these four simple steps:
Step I: Remove all packing material and accessories.
Step 2: Place the oven in the level location of your choice, but make sure there is at least one inch of space on the top
and at the rear for proper ventilation. The top of the oven should be kept clear and the plastic feet must be kept
on the oven so there is air flow for ventilation. An exhaust outlet is at the rear of the oven. Blocking the outlet
can damage the oven.
Step 3:
Step 4:
Plug your oven into a Standard 120 volt household outlet. Be sure the electrical circuit is at least 15 amp and
that your microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit.
When your microwave oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption,
the numbers in the display window will show "0:00" plus the hours and minutes that have elapsed since the
oven was plugged in or the power was restored. This means that the TIME OF DAY clock must be set. Refer
to "Setting Time of Day" below.
Note: Ifyour oven does not operate properly, unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet and then plug it
back in.

USE INSTRUCTIONS--COOKING GUIDE
"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 willcook 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.

"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" COOKING
The temperature probe is used to judge doneness when
cooking or reheating food. Set the desired food temp-
erature with the TEMP CONTROL and the desired
power level with the POWER CONTROL. When the
food reaches the desired temperature, the oven will hold
the food at the desired temperature up to one hour.
TEMPERATURE SETTING &
DISPLAY TEMPERATURE
Temperatures from.115°F to 185°F can be chosen and
set in the oven. The temperature should be set in five-
degree increments. The display window will show the
rise in food temperature in five-degree increments.
For example, when a temperature of 125°F is set, the
display window will show the temperature as it rises from
II5°F to 120°F and then to 125°F. The lowest temp-
erature number that can be displayecl is II5°F. There-
fore, even though the food may be less than IIS°F, the
display will remain at 115°F until the food is heated to
above 115°F.

.
.
.
.
sensor into the
meat with the first inch of the sensor in the center of
the meat. The sensor should not touch the bone or
fat pocket. The sensor should be put in from the
side or from the front--it should not be put in from
the top of the meat.
Plug the temperature probe into the socket on
the side of the oven wall.
Choose the doneness temperature from the
chart on Page 17. Set the temperature with the
TEMP CONTROL.
Microwave cook the meat on the second "multi-
power" setting. The microwave oven will turn itself
off when the preset temperature is reached. Take
the food out of the oven as soon as the display
window shows "Hold."
Remove the temperature probe sensor. Let the
meat stand, covered with foil for about 10 minutes
before serving. The temperature will rise about
15°F during standing time.
NOTE: It is normal for meats to become slightly
overcooked in a small circular area in the immediate
vicinity of the hole made by the temperature probe.

"TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED" POINTS TO REMEMBER
DO
• Place the temperature probe sensor into the thickest part of
the meat or in the center of the food to be reheated. Avoid
touching bone or fat.
• Check that the first inch of the sensor is in the densest part
of the food to be cooked.
• Remove the temperature probe from the oven after use.
• Refer to cookbook for other information,
• Be sure to turn meat between first and second settings.
DO NOT
• Do not operate the oven while it is empty with the
temperature probe plugged in.
•Do not leave the temperature probe unplugged in the cavity
while operating the oven.
•Do not let the temperature probe touch the side walls, glass
tray or door of the cavity when in use.
• Do not plug the pointed end of the temperature probe into
the socket inside the cavity.
• Do not use the temperature probe in a regular oven. This
probe is designed for microwave oven only.

CAUTION: From time to time, the same kind of foods
may vary in shape, form and density, and, therefore will
not produce the same results each time. For this reason,
we do not recommend using the temperature controlled
settings for thin food items or for foods that require
tenderizing by simmering. Also in some cases the
microwave oven may shut off prematurely. This means
that either the temperature probe is not placed properly
or that it should not be used with this type of food.
