SIGNATURE SKSMD2401S - Unpacking and Examining - 1

text_image Sealing Surface Waveguide Cover Sealing Surface Oven Cavity

Electrical Requirements

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120/117 V, 60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120/117 V, 60Hz circuit. No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall socket must be the same as specified on the oven name plate located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. If the microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of proper voltage, unplug and reconnect the power cord.

Do Not Block Air Vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation the oven may overheat. To prevent damage to the oven, a sensitive safety device detects overheating and automatically turns the oven off. The oven cannot be used until it has cooled sufficiently.

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.

SIGNATURE SKSMD2401S - Grounding Instructions - 1

WARNING

- Improper use of grounding can result in a risk of electric shock

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

  1. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance.
  2. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot socket that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

NOTE

  • 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 must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should not be draped over a counter or table where children could pull on it, or located where it could present a trip hazard.

See below for directions on placing the cord properly.

OPERATION

Cookware Guide

Microwave-Safe Cookware

Use microwavable cookware.

- Ovenproof Glass

  • Ovenproof glassware that is treated for high intensity heat so it is heat-resistant is microwave-safe.
  • Use utility dishes, loaf dishes, pie plates, cake plates, liquid measuring cups, casseroles and bowls without metal rims.
  • Do not use delicate glassware, such as tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter when heated.

- China: Use bowls, cups, serving plates, pottery, stoneware, ceramic, and platters without metal rims or handles. Many containers made of these materials are microwave-safe, but test them before use.

- Plastic

  • Plastic Storage Containers: Use plastic dishes, cups, semi-rigid freezer containers and plastic bags only for short cooking times. Do not use them when cooking food for long periods or at high power levels, as the hot food will eventually warp or melt the plastic.
  • Plastic wrap (as a cover): Lay the plastic wrap loosely over the dish and press it to the sides. Vent plastic wrap by turning back one edge slightly to allow excess steam to escape. The dish should be deep enough so that the plastic wrap will not touch the food. As the food heats it may melt the plastic wrap wherever the wrap touches the food.
  • Plastic Cooking Bags: Provided they are specially made for cooking, cooking bags are microwave safe. Remember to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use ordinary plastic bags for cooking in the microwave oven, as they will melt and rupture.
  • Plastic Microwave Cookware: A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. You may be able to use items you already have on hand rather than investing in new kitchen equipment.

- Paper

  • Use paper towels, waxed paper, paper napkins, and paper plates with no metal rims or design. Look for the manufacturer's label for use in the microwave oven.
  • Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in the microwave oven, provided that the cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking trays in which greasy foods such as bacon are cooked.
  • Avoid colored paper products as the color may run. Do not use recycled paper products in the microwave oven. They may contain impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave.

- Tableware

  • Many containers made of pottery, stoneware and ceramic are also microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the manufacturer's literature or perform the microwave test.
  • Do not put plates with painted decoration in the oven, as the paint may contain metal and cause arcing.

Microwave-Unsafe Cookware

• Metal Containers/Metal Decoration

  • Never use metal or metal-rimmed cookware in the microwave oven.
  • Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning.
  • Metal shields the food from microwave energy and produces uneven cooking. Also avoid metal skewers, thermometers, foil trays, metal-rimmed or metal-banded dinnerware, casserole dishes, etc. The metal rim interferes with normal cooking and may damage the oven.

- Aluminum Foil

  • Avoid large sheets of aluminum foil because they hinder cooking and may cause harmful arcing.
    – Use small pieces of foil to shield poultry legs and wings.
  • Keep ALL aluminum foil at least 1 inch from the side walls and door of the oven.

- Wood

  • Wood bowls and boards will dry out and may split or crack when you use them in the microwave oven.
    – Baskets react in the same way.

• Tightly Covered Cookware

  • Be sure to leave openings for steam to escape from covered containers.
  • Pierce plastic pouches of vegetables or other food items before cooking.
  • Tightly closed pouches could explode.

- Brown Paper

  • Avoid using brown paper bags.
  • They absorb too much heat and could burn.

- Flawed or Chipped Cookware: Any container that is cracked, flawed, or chipped may break in the oven.

• Metal Twist-Ties

  • Remove metal twist-ties from plastic or paper bags.
    – They become hot and could cause a fire.

Testing Cookware before Use

Most heat resistant and non-metallic cookware is safe for use in your oven. However, some cookware may contain materials that are not suitable for microwave use. Follow the steps below to find out if cookware can be used in the microwave.

1 Place the container in question and a glass measuring cup filled with water next to each other inside the oven.
2 Heat the container and glass measuring cup for 1 minute at HIGH power.

- If the water heats up but the container remains cool to the touch, the container is microwave-safe.

- If the temperature of the water does not change but the container becomes warm, it is not safe for use in the microwave oven.

SIGNATURE SKSMD2401S - Testing Cookware before Use - 1

CAUTION

  • Use cookware when heating food. Do not place food directly on floor of oven.
  • Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable for microwave cooking.
  • Cookware should be checked to ensure that it is suitable for use in the microwave.
    • Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot.

Cooking Guide

Cooking Tips

Carefully monitor the food in the microwave oven while it is cooking. Directions given in recipes to elevate, stir, etc., are the minimum steps recommended. If food is overcooked (dry), undercooked, or unevenly cooked, make adjustments before or during cooking to correct the problem.

• Overcooked or Dry Food

  • Sprinkling: Sprinkle low-moisture foods such as roasts and vegetables with water before cooking, or cover them to retain moisture.
  • Density: Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods such as roasts and casseroles.
  • Shielding: Cover the corners of square dishes with small strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Don't use too much foil, and secure the foil to the dish. Foil can cause arcing if it gets too close to the oven walls during cooking.
  • Bones and Fat: Bones conduct heat, and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Take care with bony or fatty cuts of meat.

• Undercooked Food

  • Covering: Cover food with a microwave-safe lid, parchment paper (not waxed paper), or plastic wrap to trap heat and steam and cook food more quickly.
  • Standing Time: Let food stand for several minutes after being removed from the oven to allow it to finish cooking and help flavors blend and develop.
  • Quantity: The more food you place in the oven, the longer the required cooking time.

- Temperature: Ice-cold ingredients take much longer to cook than room temperature ingredients.

• Unevenly Cooked Food

  • Stirring: Stir food from the outside toward the center during cooking, as food at the outside of the dish heats more quickly.
  • Arranging: Turn food over several times during cooking. The upper portion of thick foods cooks more quickly than the lower portion.
  • Shaping: Place the thickest portions of foods like meat, poultry or fish toward the outside of the cookware to help them cook more evenly. If possible, shape foods into thin rounds or rings.

- Brownies

- For best results when cooking brownies, place the pan about 1 1/2 in. (38.1 mm) from the door.

Precautions

SIGNATURE SKSMD2401S - Precautions - 1

WARNING

  • Do not use your microwave oven to cook eggs in the shell. Pressure can build up inside the shell, causing it to burst.
  • Never operate the oven when it is empty. Food or water should always be in the oven during operation to absorb the microwave energy.

  • Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the edge of a countertop to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use.

  • To program the oven, press the center of each pad firmly. When a pad is pressed correctly, a beep sounds and the oven is activated. Do not press several pads at once.
  • Do not strike the control panel with silverware, utensils, etc. It may be damaged or broken.
  • Always be careful when taking cookware out of the oven. Some dishes absorb heat from the cooked food and may be hot. See the Cookware Guide section for more information.
  • Do not rinse containers by placing them in water immediately after cooking. This may cause breakage. Also, always allow the turntable to cool before removing it from the oven.
  • Do not use the oven to dry newspapers or clothes. They may catch fire.
  • Use thermometers that have been approved for microwave oven cooking.
  • The turntable must always be in place when you operate the oven.

Using Sensor Operations

Using the Sensor Functions

The sensor features offer convenient cooking or reheating of popular food items automatically using preprogrammed settings. The Sensor system works by detecting built up steam so there is no need to set cook times or power levels.

• Make sure the door remains closed.
- Opening the door or touching the STOP/Clear button before the steam is detected will stop the process and the oven.
- Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good sensor cooking results.
- Always use microwavable containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap.
- Never use tight-sealing plastic covers. They can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
– Match the amount to the size of the container.
- Fill containers at least half full for best results.
- Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.
- Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlaptwo pieces at least one inch to cover.
- Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.

Using Sensor Settings

1 After the Drawer Microwave is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting.
2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Drawer Microwave are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3 The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4 Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.
5 More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6 During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Drawer Microwave or touch STOP/Clear during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/Clear pad and cook manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The Drawer Microwave may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
7 Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.

14 OPERATION

8 Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9 Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the Timer/Setting pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

  • Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
  • Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Table or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the Defrost Table, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by setting POWER LEVEL to 30%. Follow the instructions in the Microwave Power Levels section. Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL pad eight times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 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.

Defrosting Tips

  • Remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original wrapping paper or plastic package. Otherwise, the wrap close to the foods will hold steam and heat, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to be cooked.
  • Remove any metal twist-ties.
    • Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
  • Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.
  • If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place the food in a suitable container.
  • The length of defrosting time varies depending on the shape of the food and on how solidly the food is frozen.

18 OPERATION

  • As food begins to defrost, separate the food into pieces so that they can defrost more easily.
  • Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Separate into pieces and remove food as required.
  • Let food stand after defrosting. Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.

Weight Conversion Table

Most food weights are given in pounds and ounces. If using pounds, food weights must be entered into Auto Defrost in pounds and tenths of pounds (decimals).

Use the following table if necessary to convert food weights to decimals.

Equivalent Weight
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT
1.6 0.10
3.2 0.20
4.8 0.30

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Keep the oven clean inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner door panel and the front frame free of food or grease build up. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

NOTE

- Abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior of the oven.

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated metal and glass. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Stainless Steel Surface

The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.

Front Side of the Drawer

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the drawer surface.

Touch Control Panel

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Child Lock information. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close drawer and follow directions for turning Child Lock off. Touch STOP/Clear.

Interior

Before cleaning the Drawer Microwave, touch and hold the STOP/Clear button for 3 seconds to lock the control pad and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can be locked in either the open or closed position. The display will show . This button will prevent the drawer from accidentally opening or closing during cleaning. After cleaning, touch and hold the STOP/Clear button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will show LOCK OFF

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

Drawer Microwave Guides

Remove the food crumbs from the Drawer Microwave guides. Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Drawer Microwave opening and closing smoothly.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Drawer Microwave area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Drawer Microwave. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the Drawer Microwave until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
