Frequently Asked Questions - 83523 KENMORE

How do I set the clock on my Kenmore 83523 microwave?

Press the CLOCK pad, then enter the time using the number pads (e.g., for 3:15, press 3, 1, 5). Press CLOCK again to confirm. The clock is a 12-hour format.

Can I use metal utensils in this microwave?

Only approved aluminum foil (shielding) and metal racks specifically designed for microwave use are allowed. Do not use metal bowls, utensils with metal trim, or twist ties, as they can cause arcing.

How do I defrost food using the auto defrost feature?

Press AUTO DEFROST once for meat, twice for poultry, or three times for fish. Enter the weight in pounds and tenths (see conversion chart in manual), then press START. The oven will set time and power levels automatically.

What should I do if the microwave does not start?

Check that the door is firmly closed, the control panel is programmed correctly, the START pad was pressed, and the oven is plugged in. Also ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. If Control Lockout is set (display shows 'Loc'), press and hold STOP/CANCEL for 3 seconds.

How do I clean the grease filters?

Remove the filters by sliding them to the rear and pulling down. Soak in hot water with detergent, scrub gently, rinse, and shake dry. Do not use ammonia-based cleaners. Replace by sliding into the frame slot and locking.

Can I use the microwave without the turntable?

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" on page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance in accordance with the provided installation instructions. Do not mount over a sink

5. This microwave oven is UL listed for installation over electric and gas ranges.
   This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider than 30 inches.

6. For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet, to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

7. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in this oven. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

8. Foods with unbroken outer "skin" such as potatoes, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking. "Boilable" cooking pouches and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented.

9. Do not heat, store or use flammable materials in or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

10. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or defrost food. It is not designed for industrial, laboratory or commercial use. it is intended for home use only.

11. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

12. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

13. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

14. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

15. Do not use or store this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

16. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

17. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

18. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

19. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

20. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. Avoid using

recycled paper products. Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Such products sometimes contain impurities which could ignite.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing them in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the oven for storage. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.
e. Do not pop popcorn except in a microwave approved popcorn popper or in a commercial package recommended especially for microwave ovens.

f. Do not overcook potatoes. They may dehydrate and catch fire.

g. Do not use for drying clothes, linens, newspaper or similar non-food type items.

1. Do not operate the oven when empty or with an empty utensil to avoid damage to the oven and danger of fire.
2. Do not lean on the oven door. The door is designed to close tightly and seal properly for safe operation. Leaning on the door may warp or break the hinges.
3. To avoid exposure to dangerous high voltage, DO NOT REMOVE THE SPLATTER SHIELD inside the oven cavity.
4. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1 Do not overheat the liquid.
2 Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it
3 Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
4 After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
5 Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

1. Read and follow specific microwave oven preparation instructions on food packages or containers (especially baby food). Above all, this is a cooking appliance designed to prepare food.

2. Use only cooking utensils and accessories made for use in the microwave and specifically described in this manual.

3. Microwave oven manufacturers do not recommend deep fat frying or frying in a microwave oven. Hot oil can damage oven parts and utensils and even result in skin burns.
4. Plastic wrap: Use only those types designed for microwave oven use and avoid forming an air-tight seal. Fold back a small corner or cut a small slit to allow steam to escape.
5. Stay near the appliance while it is in use and check cooking progress frequently. Leaving the appliance unattended may reslut in overcooked food and possibly a fire in your oven.
6. Foods cooked in liquids (such as pasta) may tend to boil over more rapidly than foods containing less moisture. Should this occur, refer to the Care and Cleaning section for instructions on how to clean the inside of the oven.
7. Do not use a thermometer in food you are microwaving unless the thermometer is designed or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
8. Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

For these reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

1. Do not store anythig directly on top of the microwave oven surface when the oven is in operation.
2. TV dinners may be microwaved in foil trays less than 3/4" deep; remove top foil cover and return tray to box. When using metal in microwave oven, keep metal at least 1 inch away from the sides of the oven.
3. Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles.
4. Cookware may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. Potholders may be needed to handle the cookware.
5. Do not try to melt paraffin wax in the oven. Paraffin wax will not melt in a microwave oven because it allows microwaves to pass through it.
6. Never use sharp-edged utensils in or near the oven.
7. Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.
8. Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease to build up on the hood or the filter.
9. Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.
10. When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan on.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Installation Recommendations

Remove all packing materials both outside and inside the oven before using the oven. The oven requires free movement of air for proper operation. Do NOT block air vents located by the top air grill and underneath the oven.

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 a 120v, 15amp. outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

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

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstance cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance. See pages 1 and 2 of the Installation Manual for acceptable extension cord specifications.

Interference Note

Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy during operation and if not installed properly may cause interference to radio and television reception. You can determine if this unit is causing interference by turning it on and off while the interference is occurring. If interference occurs, it may be corrected by one or more of the following measures:

• clean door and seal surfaces of the oven;
  • reorient the television or radio receiving antenna;
• the oven with respect to the television or radio receiver, and/or
• Plug the oven into a different outlet so that it and the television or radio receiver are on different circuits.

If the interference persists, you may want to consult an experienced radio/television technician for additional information.

Automatic Fan Protection feature

The cooking range installed under the microwave oven may, under some heavy usage conditions, cause temperatures high enough to overheat some internal parts of the microwave oven.

To prevent overheating from taking place, the exhaust fan is designed to automatically turn on at a low speed if excessive temperatures occur. Should this happen, the fan cannot be manually turned off, but it will automatically turn off when the internal parts have cooled. The fan may stay on for up to an hour after the range and microwave oven controls have been turned off.

Microwaving Tips

- Make sure all cookware used in your microwave oven is suitable for microwaving. Most glass cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware, which does not have metallic trim or glaze with metallic sheen, can be used.

- If you are not sure if a dish is microwave-safe, use this test: Place in the oven the dish you are testing and a glass measuring cup filled with one cup of water. Set the measuring cup either in or next to the dish.

Microwave 1 minute at high. If the dish heats, it should not be used for microwaving. If the dish remains cool and only the water in the cup heats, then the dish is microwave-safe.

- Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

Full power (level 10) is automatic. If you wish to use a different power level, touch the POWER LEVEL Pad before touching START Pad. Enter the power level desired by touching the POWER LEVEL Pad repeatedly. The selected power level will be displayed. (See Power Level Cooking Guide on next page.)

Power Level Cooking Guide

Your microwave oven offers various cooking power levels for optimum cooking results.

High (power level 10) or full power is the fastest way to cook and supplies microwave energy 100% of the time.

The other power levels supply microwave energy for a certain percentage of time. For example, power level 7 supplies microwave energy throughout 70% of the set cooking time. Most of your cooking will be done on High (Power Level 10). A lower setting will cook more evenly, requiring less attention given to stirring or rotating the food. Some foods may have better flavor, texture or appearance if one of the lower settings is used. You may wish to use a lower power level when cooking foods that have a tendency to boil over, such as scalloped potatoes. The times required to fully cook food will tend to lengthen as a result of using lower power levels.

Power Level Best	Uses
High 10 Fish, bacon, vegetables, boiling liquids.
Medium 7 Gentle	cooking of meat and Poultry, baking casseroles and reheating.
Medium 5 Slow cooking and tenderizing for stews and less tender cuts of meat.
Low 3 Defrosting, simmering, delicate sauces.
Warm 1 Keeping	food warm without overcooking, softening butter.

General Defrosting Tips

1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Place food on a microwave-safe rack in a dish.
2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.
3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.
4. Auto Defrost is programmed for specific weights. Defrost results will be affected if you enter an incorrect weight.
5. Auto Defrost is programmed for frozen food at 0^ F. If food is stored at a higher temperature, expect shorter defrost times.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. You may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

7. During Auto Defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the food over. At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum defrost results. Then, close oven door, touch the START Pad to complete defrosting.

8. Turn Over: Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

9. Rearrange: Break apart or separate steaks, chops, hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.
10. Shield: Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arching, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

11. Remove: To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost time for foods weighing less than 3-lbs.

12. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5 to 10 minutes if there are any icy areas. If large solid roasts, such as sirloin tip or rump roasts, are not completely thawed after standing, return roast to oven and program Auto Defrost for 1 lb.

Care and Cleaning

Microwave Oven Interior

The oven interior should be cleaned after each use with a damp cloth to keep it free from grease and soil buildup. Stubborn soils can be removed with a plastic scrub pad. When cleaning interior surfaces and surfaces of door and oven that come together when the door is closed, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.

Odors can be eliminated from the inside of the oven by boiling a solution of one cup of water and several tablespoons of lemon juice in the oven for 5-7 minutes. This also helps loosen any dried soil in the oven. Wipe off excess moisture after use.

Note:

• Do not spray or pour liquid cleansers directly onto a surface. Spray or pour cleanser onto a cloth or sponge and then clean.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, oven cleaners, abrasive cleaning pads or steel wool, as they can scratch or dull oven surfaces.
• Do not remove or insert knife around the stirrer cover(located on ceiling of oven cavity) to clean, it may damage the cover or affect the cooking performance of your oven.

Oven Bottom

Wash oven bottom with hot sudsy water, rinse and dry. Do not use excessive amounts of water when cleaning the oven, especially around the turntable. Do not allow water or cleaning agents to seep into turntable gears located underneath.

Glass Tray/Turntable

Allow to cool before removing and cleaning. Wash in soapy water or dishwasher.

Roller Guide

Clean frequently to prevent excessive noise. Wash in soapy water or dishwasher.

Oven Exterior

Wipe the outside of your oven with a soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners. They may scratch the surface.

Light Compartment

Clean off the grease and dust on the light compartment cover on the bottom side of the microwave oven often with warm water and detergent.

Control Panel

Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry. Do not spray cleaners directly on panel. Spray cleaners on cloth and then wipe.

The Exhaust Feature

The exhaust hood feature on your microwave oven is equipped with two metal filters which collect grease. When the fan is operating, air is drawn up through the filters and is then discharged through the venting to the outside or through the charcoal filters if not vented to the outside.

Reusable Grease Filters

The reusable grease filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the microwave without the filters in place. In situations where flaming might occur on surfaces below the hood, filters will stop the entry of flames into the unit.

To Remove Grease Filter

To remove grease filter, grasp the "finger hold" on the filter and slide to the rear. Then pull filter downward and to the left. The filter will drop out.

Common Questions and Answers

Q. Can I open the door when the oven is operating?

A. The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. The oven will automatically stop cooking and the time setting will maintain until the door is closed and the START Pad is touched.

Q. What causes the oven interior light and display to dim when using a Variable Power Level?

A. This is normal and indicates the oven is operating and cycling properly.

Q. Why does steam and/or vapor escape around the door and moisture droplets form on the inside of the oven door?

A. This in normal occurrence - as food cooks, steam is given off.

Q. What do the various beeps mean?

A. Short beep = any pad is touched.

Three short beeps = incorrect entry.

One long beep = oven plugged in.

Three long beeps = end of cooking (microwave will turn off).

Series of three short beeps = check food to see if turning or rearranging is needed.

Q. Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?

A. No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven when cooking.

All these things are normal with your microwave oven.

- Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.

• Light reflection around the door or outer case.

- Dimming oven light and change in blower sound may occur while operating at power levels other than high.

- Dull thumping sound while oven is operating.

Charcoal Filter Kit

There is a recirculating charcoal filter kit included for models that are not vented to the outside. See installation guide for details.

Before You Call

Check the following to be sure a service call is necessary:

If nothing on the oven operates:

• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.
• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house.
• check that controls are set properly.
• check that the cooking time is set.

If the oven interior light does not work:

- The light bulb may be loose or defective. See page 25 or call a qualified servicer.

If oven will not cook:

• check that control panel was programmed correctly.
• check that door is firmly closed.
• check that START Pad was touched.
• Clock Delay Start or Timer Delay Start may have been set.
  • the Control Lockout may have been set
• check the area between the door and seal for obstructions.

If oven takes longer than normal to cook or cooks too rapidly:

• be sure the Power Level is programmed properly.
• check instructions on food density, etc.
• verify that voltage to the microwave oven is not low.

If the time-of-day clock does not always keep correct time:

• check that the power cord is fully inserted into the outlet receptacle.
• check that the oven is properly grounded.
• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate electrical circuit.

If oven floor or glass tray are hot:

- this is normal. The floor is absorbing heat from the food.

If the interior of oven collects moisture:

- this is normal. Food gives off moisture when cooking and the steam collects on the door and the oven surface. Wipe off excess moisture from oven after each use.

If food cooks unevenly:

• refer to your recipe for proper cooking procedures.
- be sure food is evenly shaped.
- be sure food is completely defrosted before cooking.
- check placement of aluminum strips used to prevent overcooking.

If food is undercooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels) were correctly followed.
• check household voltage.
• try plugging the oven into an outlet on a separate electrical circuit.
• be sure food was completely defrosted before cooking.

If food is overcooked:

• check recipe to be sure all directions (amount, time, and power levels) were correctly followed.
• the initial temperature of food may have been higher than normal.

If arcing (sparks) occur:

• be sure microwave-safe dishes were used.
• be sure wire twist ties were not used.
• be sure oven was not operated when empty.

If the display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking:

- check that door is firmly closed.
