Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need
to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.
HOW YOUR KENMORE ULTRA WAVE TMMICROWAVE
HOOD COMBINATION WORKS
Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves, or
light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see
what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven
where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Metalfloor Glass turntable
The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets
microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a
metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and
are absorbed by the food.
Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and
plastics without heating them so food absorbs the
energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers
so food does not absorb the energy.
The ULTRA WAVE Inverter Microwave System is
proven technology that delivers a constant stream of
microwave power - true high, medium and low
power.
Normally, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power
only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level
(medium) in a typical microwave oven, the oven
operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50%
of the time OFE
0%
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing the ULTRA WAVE
Inverter Microwave System deliver the selected power
level continuously. This constant stream of microwave
power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and
messy food spatters.
The ULTRA WAVE
TM
InverterMicrowave System features
Sensor Cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven
cavly detects moisture and humidity emitted from food
as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various
types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the
guesswork OL_of microwave cooking.
• Always cook food for the shortest cooking time
recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking.
• To help make sure the food is evenly cooked, stir,
turn over, or rearrange the food about halfway
through the cooking time.
• 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 ¼ to _ in. (6.35 to 12.7 mm) to
vent steam during heating or cooking.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Using your microwave oven may cause interference
to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there
is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
• Moving the receiver away from the microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a different outlet
so that the microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
