Microwave Oven Important Information
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven
isonadierentelectricalcircuit,relocatetheradioorTV
as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and
support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could
be placed in the microwave oven. The turntable will turn
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
When using the microwave oven at power levels below
100%,youmayhearthemagnetroncyclingonando.Itis
normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room
humidityandthemoistureinfoodwillinuencetheamount
of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test
Procedure at 1200 watts. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum
time setting elapses and add time accordingly.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrangefoodcarefully.Placethickestareastowardsoutside
of dish.
•Watchcookingtime.Cookfortheshortestamountof
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•Coverfoodswhilecooking.Checkrecipeorcookbookfor
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
•Shieldwithsmallatpiecesofaluminumfoilanythin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•Stirfoodsfromoutsidetocenterofdishonceortwice
during cooking, if possible.
•Turnfoodsoveronceduringmicrowavingtospeedcooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once.
•Rearrangefoodssuchasmeatballshalfwaythrough
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of
the dish to the outside.
•Usestandingtime.Alwaysallowfoodtostandinoroutof
the oven after cooking power stops. Standing time after
defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly
spread throughout the food, improving the cooking results.
For inside oven standing time, you can program a “0”
power stage of cooking cycle. See Multiple Stage Cooking.
•Checkfordoneness.Lookforsignsindicatingthat
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fishisopaqueandakeseasilywithafork.
ABOUT FOODS
• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a
special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use
popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed
containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and
should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of
the microwave oven could result in injury.
• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build
up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly
resulting in injury.
• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more
than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave
ovenandcouldstartare.Itincreasestheheataroundthe
magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.
• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot
dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other
giblets, and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to
escape during cooking.
• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid
o.Makesureallinfantfoodisthoroughlycooked.Stir
food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent
scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The
container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always
test the milk before feeding the baby.
• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances,
liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing
liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the
container from the microwave oven, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after
themicrowaveovenhasshuto.Donotboilliquidsin
narrownecked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine
asksandespeciallynarrowneckedcoeecups.Evenif
the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and
causeittoburstoroverow.
• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles
(especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container
is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the
container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.
• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when
opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn
bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible
injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and
catchre,causingdamagetoyourmicrowaveoven.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 170°F Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new
microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the
interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and
reheating:
•glassceramic(Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
•heat-resistantglass(Pyrex®)
•microwave-safeplastics
•paperplates
•microwave-safepottery,stonewareandporcelain
•browningdish(Donotexceedrecommendedpreheating
time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods
that have little fat or sugar in them:
•wood,straw,wicker
DO NOT USE
•metalpansandbakeware
•disheswithmetallictrim
•non-heat-resistantglass
•non-microwave-safeplastics(margarinetubs)
•recycledpaperproducts
•brownpaperbags
•foodstoragebags
•metaltwist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving,
place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot
should not be used.
THE FOLLOWING COVERINGS ARE IDEAL:
•Papertowelsaregoodforcoveringfoodsforreheating
and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•Waxpapercanbeusedforcookingandreheating.
•Plasticwrapthatisspeciallymarkedformicrowaveuse
can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow
plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
•Lidsthataremicrowave-safeareagoodchoicebecause
heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
•Ovencookingbagsaregoodforlargemeatsorfoodsthat
need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember
to slit bag so steam can escape.
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN:
•Smallatpiecesofaluminumfoilplacedsmoothlyonthe
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or
cooking too quickly.
•Foilshouldnotcomecloserthanoneinchtoanysurfaceof
the microwave oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check
a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe
Microwave Oven Important Information (continued)
thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness
and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe
temperatures. Sears is not responsible for any damage to
the microwave oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven
with a supervising person very near to them. Between the
ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the
same room.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
microwave oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention
to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.
ABOUT SAFETY

This appliance is equipped with a blower which runs in baking and
self-cleaning mode to keep all internal components at a cool temperature. The blower
may keep running even if the oven has been turned o, until the components have
cooled down.
OVEN VENT LOCATION
Each oven is vented at its upper front frame. When the oven is on, warm air is released
through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results.
ARRANGING LOWER OVEN RACKS
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN
IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always
use oven mitts when using the oven.
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it
stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out.

For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4” (5-10
cm) around the cookware for proper air circulation and
be sure pans and cookware do not touch each other, the
oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must
circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for
even heat to reach around the food.
TYPES OF OVEN RACKS
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
adjusting the oven racks. Wait until the oven has completely
cooled if possible. Oven racks may HOT and cause burns.

Convection Microwave Manual Operation
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount”
column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure
found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and
lower your power level to 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the
end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1
minute increments on power level 30 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in
a microwave-safe dish.
