IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as

described in the 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.

■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when

used by children.

■ 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.

■ The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified

service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.

■ Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

■ Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the

microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.

■ Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

■ Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

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

■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave

Oven Care” section.

■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven

when 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 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.

■ 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 mount over a sink.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave

oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■ When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■ Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking

equipment.

■ Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of

36" (91.44 cm).

■ Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive

cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Appliance Registration

Go to www.mysmartappliances.com on your home computer and input the SAID (Smart Appliance ID) which can be found on the label located on the microwave oven frame behind the top right side of the microwave oven door.

Kosher Consumer-Friendly (KCF) Mode

For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with KCF mode, visit www.star-k.org.

The KCF mode for this microwave oven is similar to the Sabbath Mode available on other appliances such as ovens, but with several important differences. KCF mode can be considered as a less-featured version of Sabbath mode. For example, in KCF mode, if the microwave oven is in cooking mode, then you should not open the microwave oven door as this will turn off the heating source.

Using KCF mode is a two-step process. First, you need to “Enable” KCF mode. Second, you need to “Activate” KCF mode. Enabling KCF mode means that the microwave oven is ready to go into KCF mode in the future. Activating KCF mode means that the microwave oven is currently in KCF mode.

When the KCF mode is activated, opening the microwave oven door will not turn on the microwave oven cavity light. All keypad presses will be ignored (except the Cancel keypad) and the display will remain static. When the microwave oven door is opened or closed, the microwave oven light will not turn on or off, but the heating elements will turn off immediately. You should wait until the cooking cycle is ﬁnished in KCF mode to open the door.

To Enable KCF Mode Capability (One Time Only):

1. Press Clock/Options keypad.

2. Press Right Arrow keypad 9 times until “KCF mode” is

displayed on the screen.

3. Press the Select keypad. The scrolling display will say “Press

1-OFF; Press 2-ON.” A checkmark symbol will appear beside OFF indicating the current state of OFF (i.e., disabled).

4. Press “2” to enable KCF mode.

5. Press Select keypad to select the choice made above.

6. The microwave oven is now KCF Enabled (i.e., it is ready for

you to activate KCF mode later).

To Disable KCF Mode Capability:

To disable the KCF mode, repeat above steps (except choose 1 for off). Once disabled, you will not be able to activate KCF mode.

To Activate KCF Mode (Sabbath or Holidays):

1. (Optional) Press the Light keypad once for High setting (or

twice for Low setting) of cooktop light. NOTE: Choose this step only if you want cooktop light to be

on during KCF mode.

2. (Optional) Press the Fan keypad once for High speed setting. You may press this keypad repeatedly and choose a different speed. There are four available speeds (High, Med-High, Med, and Low). Choose the speed you want.

NOTE: Choose this step only if you want ventilation fan to be on. Ventilation fan will automatically turn off after 4 hours.

3. Open the microwave oven door and place food in microwave oven. Close the microwave oven door. You will see a set of menu buttons at the left side.

NOTE: You can also press the Menu keypad to have the back-lit buttons light up. Press the Convect keypad, press the Right Arrow keypad two times until you see Manual Convect Bake, then press the Select keypad. Default temperature setting is 325 F. Enter a different temperature if desired. Press COOK TIME/POWER and enter cook time (e.g., 1:30 if you want 1 hour and 30 minutes).

4. Press the Start keypad. Press the Start keypad again to start cook time count-down immediately without preheat.

NOTE: If you press the Start keypad once, then the microwave oven will start countdown after it reaches preheat temperature.

5. The microwave oven is now cooking with cooktop light and ventilation fan in chosen setting.

6. Press and hold CLOCK/OPTIONS for 3 seconds. The microwave oven is now in active KCF mode and the display will show “KCF mode”.

7. While the microwave oven is cooking in KCF mode, do not open the microwave oven door, as this will shut off heat source immediately. When cooking cycle ends, there will be no beeps and the oven light will stay off when you open the door to remove the food.

NOTES:

■ Do not open the microwave oven door while the

microwave oven is cooking as this will cancel the cooking cycle.

■ Do not use Kitchen Timer in KCF mode.

■ If a power failure happens while KCF mode is running, the

microwave oven will show that KCF mode is on, but the cooking cycle will not be on.

■ While in KCF mode, neither time nor temperature

can be adjusted.

To Deactivate KCF Mode:

Press and hold the Clock/Options keypad for 3 seconds until you see “KCF mode” disappear from the display.

NOTES:

■ If you press the Cancel keypad, this will cancel any cooking

cycle. If you press the Cancel keypad again, this will de-activate KCF mode.

■ After KCF mode is deactivated, you must activate KCF mode

by completing steps 1 through 6 under the “To Activate KCF mode” section.

NOTE: Use mobile app to enable or disable KCF mode only. NOTE: If smart-phone is on, then notiﬁcation will be displayed on

your mobile device (if you opted in).

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave 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 the “Accessories” section to reorder.

■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in

microwave oven.

■ Clothes, ﬂowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and 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.

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.

Cooking Guidelines

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 redistributes 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.

Food Characteristics

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.

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 tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section 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.

Page 18

Cookware and Dinnerware

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.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup

(250 mL) of water beside it.

2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the

water stays cool.
