BUILT-IN MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
DANGER
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:
■Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found in this section.
■The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.
■Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
■Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
■Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
■Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
■Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of electric shock.
■Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer's recommended accessories, in this oven when not in use.
■Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
■Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable utensils are not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.
■Do not use paper products when appliance is operated in the “PAN BROWN” mode.
■Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.
■As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
■The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
■Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. 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 THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
–Do not overheat the liquid.
–Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
–Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
–After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
–Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
■Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
■See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care” section.
■To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
–Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
–Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
–If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
–Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a)Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b)Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:
(1)Door (bent),
(2)Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3)Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d)The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.
ElectricalRequirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. The microwave oven is connected to both 120-volt sides of the 208/240-volt circuit required for electrical connections. If the incoming voltage to the microwave oven is less than 120 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected microwave oven:
The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Turntable
A
B
C
A.Turntable
B.Support and rollers
C.Hub
The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the turntable in place. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder any of the parts.
The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit between the 3 spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
To Turn On/Off:
For best microwave performance it is recommended to always leave the turntable on. If necessary, the turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function).
This is helpful when cooking with a dish that is larger than the turntable.
1.From the Main Menu touch MORE CHOICES.
2.Touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF.
The display shows the Turntable On/Off screen.
3. Select OFF, then touch OK.
Repeat to turn the turntable back on.
ConvectionRack
The convection rack provides optimal heat circulation for grilling and convection cooking (on some models).
In combination with the baking tray, the convection rack places food close to the grill element, making it ideal for fast browning of small amounts of food with the grilling function.
■The rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
■Always use the turntable or the baking tray.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not store the rack in the oven.
■Two-level cooking is not recommended.
■For best results, do not place popcorn bags on the rack.
■The rack is designed specifically for this oven. For best cooking results, do not attempt to use any other rack in this oven.
■See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
BrowningPanandHandle
The browning pan is ideal for rapidly browning and crisping the bottom of food, such as cookies and pizza.
The material coating the bottom absorbs microwaves and transfers the heat to the pan and food. The browning pan reaches 436°F (210°C) in approximately 3 minutes, at which time it stops absorbing microwaves and holds this optimal frying temperature.
■The browning pan will become hot. Always use the handle and oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle, and lift pan.
■Do not allow the browning pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
5
■Always use the turntable.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use another metal object with the browning pan.
■The browning pan is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.
■Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help avoid scratches.
■See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

KITCHENAID™SteamerVessel
Use the KITCHENAID™ Steamer Vessel with the Steam Cook feature to steam foods.
A
B
C
■Baking Tray can be used only with convection cooking and grilling (on some models).
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use in combination with microwave cooking.
■Baking Tray will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
■See “Positioning Baking Tray” section before using.
■See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
A.Lid
B.Insert
C.Base
■The steamer vessel will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.
■Steamer vessel is designed to be used only in the microwave. To avoid damaging steamer vessel, do not use in a convectionalor combination-type oven, or any other convection function, crisp or on electric or gas burners.
■Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil when covering the food.
■Always place the steamer on the glass turntable. Check that the turntable turns freely before starting the oven.
■Do not remove lid while the bowl is inside the oven, as the rush of steam will disrupt the sensor settings.
■To avoid scratching, use plastic utensils.
■Do not overfill with water. See steam chart in the “Steam Cooking” section for the amount of water recommended.
Lid: Always use the lid when steaming. Place directly over the insert and base or just the base.
Insert: Use when steam cooking to keep foods such as fish and vegetables out of the water. Place insert with food directly over the base. Do not use when simmering.
Base: For steam cooking, place water in base. For simmering foods such as rice, potatoes, pasta and vegetables, place food and water/liquid in base.
See “Assistance or Service” section to order replacements. See “General Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning.

BUILT-IN MICROWAVE
OVEN USE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
■The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
■Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.
■Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave oven.
■Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
■Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.
■Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

FoodCharacteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.
CookingGuidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Turntable On/Off
For best performance, the turntable should be on during microwave cooking.
If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the turntable, turn the turntable off. Select turntable “Off” on the Option menu.
When microwave cooking with the turntable off, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process.
CookwareandDinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

AluminumFoilandMetal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
■Always use the turntable.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.
Do Not Use
Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, nonapproved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.
