MICROWAVE COOKING
COOKING GUIDE
“HI” POWER COOKING
“HI" gives highest power and is a recommended setting
for cooking foods with high moisture content or for foods
that need fast cooking to keep natural flavor and texture. •
Your Kenmore Microwave Convection Cookbook will tell
you which foods are cooked best using highest microwave
power or “HI". For detailed directions on “HI” (max
power) cooking, see page 19.
MULTI-POWER COOKING
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. Detailed
directions for multi-power cooking are on pages 20 and
21
.
FOUR-STAGE COOKING
Some recipes need more than one cooking stage. Many
food 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
up to four stages at the beginning, start the oven, and
then the oven will change .automatically into the second
stage at the preset time. “Two, Three or Four-Stage
Cooking” withdDoth TIME and TEMP CONTROL can also
be set. For detailed directions on “Two, Three or Four-
Stage Cooking”, see Pages 27 and 28.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED HI
POWER COOKING
“HI” power with Temperature Control lets you cook food
to a preset temperature using maximum speed. Follow the
directions on page 25 and you will be able to preset the
temperature you desire with the aid of the Temperature
Control Cooking Guide.
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
MULTI-POWER COOKING
Multi-power with Temperature Control allows you to cook
more sensitive foods to a preset temperature using slower
microwave speeds. See page 26 for detailed directions.
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
Power level will automatically change for proper thawing
of dense food items. See pages 30 thru 33 for detailed
directions.
“HOLD WARM”
After completing your cooking, the oven switches into
"Hold Warm" to keep the food warm. “Hold” will show in
the display window and will continue to show for up to
100 minutes or until the door has been opened or STOP
has been touched. See Page 18.
