Microwave Oven Cavity Coating

The microwave oven has a durable, nonstick coating that resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional microwave ovens. See "General Cleaning" section for cleaning instructions.

Microwave System - OPTIMAWAVE™

Technology

The microwave system featuring OPTIMAWAVE™ Technology delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high, medium and low power – to provide consistent, even results.

Typically, the same price is 100% lower than 50%.

Sensor Cooking

The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the microwave oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

Grill Element

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 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.
■Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying.
■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.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

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 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 tall. 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.

Cookware and Dinnerware

MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Paper: Towels, Dinnerware, NapkinsUse nonrecycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Plastic: Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, ContainersUse those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Pottery and Clay Follow manufacturer's recommendations.
Silicone BakewareFollow manufacturer's recommendations.
Straw, Wicker, Wooden ContainersDo not use in microwave oven.
Styrofoam ^27 Do not use in microwave oven.

Wax Paper Acceptable for use.

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.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

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:

■Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■Do not use metal bakeware during combination cycles. Some automatic Cook, Bake and Roast programs use combination cooking. Follow instructions on the display during programming. Manual Roast may also be programmed for combination cooking.

■ Use only microwave-safe, ovenproof cookware for all non-Bake convection or combination cycles.

For Use with Grill Element

Use only microwave-safe, ovenproof cookware, such as glass or ceramic glass, for automatic Grill and Manual Grill cycles.

■Do not place cookware on grill rack.

■Place cookware directly on the turntable. Cookware may be used under the grill rack to catch drippings.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name or number. For example, 70%=7=Medium-High.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

PERCENT/NAME USE

100%, High (default setting)Quick heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages and most vegetables.
90% Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground meat and poultry pieces.Heating cream soups.
80% Heating rice, pasta or casseroles.Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high, such as meat loaf.
70%, Medium-HighReheating a single serving of food.Cooking fish fillets.

PROGRAMMED COOKING

Convection Cooking

During convection cycles, the convection element heats the air in the microwave oven cavity, and the convection fan circulates the hot air. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

See "Food Type Chart" for automatic convection cycles (Bake or Roast).

Convection cooking may also be done manually. Use convection cooking for items such as pies, breads, cookies, cakes and pizza. See "Manual Cooking" section for instructions.

Manual convection cooking may be used to proof bread. See "Raising (Proofing) Bread" section for instructions.

NOTES:

■Use the provided convection rack.

■ Do not cover the tumtable or convection rack with foil, as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.

■Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All ovenproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. (Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.) Metal utensils cannot be used in microwave or combination cooking.

■No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven recipes to convection cooking, although some cooking times might need to be shortened, and some temperatures adjusted.

This microwave oven may be preheated in the same way that a standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for preheating.)

Combination Cooking

Combination cooking uses microwaves in addition to the convection system to cook or roast foods more quickly than with convection alone.

Combination cooking may also be done manually. Use combination cooking for items such as roasts, meat loaf,

Sensor Cooking

Some automatic cycles are sensor cycles. See “Cook Method Chart.” No amounts need to be entered. A sensor in the microwave oven detects humidity released from the food as it heats, and adjusts the cook time accordingly. The progress bar appears during sensing (see “Progress Bar” section).

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. The provided steamer vessel has a loose-fitting lid, which allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

NOTES:

■ The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least 2 minutes.

■The microwave oven cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.

■The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).

■ If the door is opened during a sensor cycle, sensing will stop and the program will be canceled.

■ For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grill cooking before sensor cooking.

Preheating

Preheating of the microwave oven is programmed in some automatic convection cycles. After the microwave oven is preheated, it will maintain the set preheat temperature until the door is opened to add food. Preheating may be skipped after it has started by touching "Skip Preheat" on the touch screen, adding food, and then touching "Continue."

Preheating of the browning pan is programmed in many automatic cooking cycles. This preheating phase may also be skipped by touching "Skip Preheat."

For optimal results, we recommend completing the preheating phase of each cycle in which preheating is programmed. However, preheating of the microwave oven would not be necessary when baking consecutive batches, such as cookies, as the microwave oven would clearly be hot.

Popcorn

Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines the appropriate popping time of commercially packaged microwavable popcorn.

The sensor will determine accurate popping times for bag sizes: 3.5 oz (99 g), 3.0 oz (85 g) or 1.75 oz (50 g). For bag sizes not listed in this section, follow directions on the package.

NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times. Listen for popping to slow to 1 pop every 1 or 2 seconds, then stop the cycle.

■ For best results, do not place bag on convection rack or grill rack.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular paper bags or glassware.
■Pop only 1 package of popcorn at a time.
■Follow manufacturer's instructions when using a microwave popcorn popper.
■Do not try to pop unpopped kemels.
■Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results.
■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content.

To Use Popcorn:

  1. Place popcorn bag on the turntable and close the door.
  2. Touch POPCORN control.

The microwave oven will start automatically. The display will show when the microwave oven is sensing, and will start counting down the time when sensing has finished.

When the cycle ends, the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.

  1. Touch OFF control or open the door to stop reminder tones. The display will return to the Main Menu after OFF control is touched.

MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.

GREASE FILTERS

Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-based oven cleaners.

■Hot water and mild detergent:

Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.

■Dishwasher:

Wash separately, not with dirty dishes, because food can be trapped in the filters.

NOTE: Some discoloration of the filters may occur after cleaning them in the dishwasher. This is normal, and will not affect the performance of the grease filters.

The gray finish inside the microwave oven cavity is a durable, nonstick coating that makes soils easier to remove.

To avoid damage to the microwave oven cavity, do not use metal or sharp utensils or scrapers, soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some recycled paper towels. If damage occurs, special touch-up paint may be applied. See "Assistance or Service" to order.

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

Average soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

CONTROL PANEL/INTERACTIVE TOUCH DISPLAY

Activate the Control Lock to avoid touch screen activation during cleaning. See "Control Lock" section.

To avoid damage to the control panel/touch display, do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads or gritty washcloths.

Use gentle pressure when wiping the touch screen.

■Glass cleaner and soft cloth:

Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth, not directly on panel.

■Mild soap, water and soft washcloth

MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when closed should be kept clean.

■Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

■Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

To avoid damage to the microwave oven door and exterior, do not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Rub in direction of grain.

■KitchenAid * Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish (not included) KitchenAid® Stainless Steel Wipes (not included):

See "Assistance or Service" section to order.

■Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:

BROWNING PAN

To avoid damage to the browning pan, do not use abrasive cleansers or scrubbers.

■Mild cleanser, water and washcloth

■Dishwasher

CONVECTION and GRILL RACKS

Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended. To avoid damage to the convection and grill racks, do not use abrasive cleansers or scrubbers.

■Mild soap, water and washcloth

Replacing Filters

The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a month. The charcoal filters cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. Do not operate the microwave oven without the filters in place. See "Replacement Parts" section in "Assistance or Service" to reorder filters. See "General Cleaning" for cleaning instructions.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.

Nothing will operate

■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

■Is the microwave oven wired properly?

See Installation Instructions provided with your microwave oven.

Microwave oven will not operate

■Is the magnetron working properly?

Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service. See "Assistance or Service" section.

■Is the door completely closed?

Firmly close door

■Is a spacer (on some models) attached to the inside of the door?

Remove spacer, then firmly close door.

■Is the electronic microwave oven control set correctly? See "Microwave Oven Control" section.

■Is the Control Lock set?

See "Control Lock" section.

■Is the Learning Mode activated?

See "Learning Mode" section.

■Does the display show a message about opening the door?

The door has been closed for an extended period of time (about 5 minutes) after adding food and before starting the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.

Turntable alternates rotation directions

■ This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.

Display shows time countdown, but is not operating

■Is the Timer in use?

See "Timer" section.

■Is the Learning Mode in use?

See "Learning Mode" section.

Steam is coming from the vent screen

■Some steam is normal.

Fan running after cooking is finished

■This is normal for convection and grill use. The fan may run for up to 10 minutes after the cycle ends to cool the microwave oven.

Fan running slower than usual

■Has the microwave oven been stored in a cold area?

The fan will run slower until the microwave oven warms up to normal room temperature.

Fan running during cooktop usage

This is normal. The microwave oven's cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. Both the vent fan and the cooling fan may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven's controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Odor coming from microwave oven during convection cooking

■This is normal for the first few convection cycles. The odor will dissipate with repeated use.

Quartz bulb does not appear to be on

■This is not unusual. See "Grill Element" section.

■Is the element still working properly?

To check proper operation of elements, place 2 slices of bread on the tall grill rack, place the rack on the turntable and close the door. Program the microwave oven using Manual Grill—without microwaves—for 4 minutes (see "Manual Method Cooking" section). The bread should toast dark brown. If the bread does not toast, call for service. See "Assistance or Service" section.

Radio, TV or cordless phone interference

■Is the microwave oven plugged into the same outlet? Try a different outlet.

■Is the radio or TV receiver near the microwave oven? Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.

■ Are the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces clean? Make sure these areas are clean.

■Is the cordless phone frequency 2.4 GHz?

Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while the microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone or a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
