Electrical Requirements
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Required:
■
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply
with a fuse or circuit breaker.

Sensor Cooking
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.
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.
Microwave System – OPTIMAWAVE™
Technology
Grill Element
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, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the microwave oven operates 50% of the time
at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF.
A
B
A. Halogen bulb
B. Quartz bulb
The microwave oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500-
watt quartz bulb to serve as the grill element for various cooking
functions.
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing this microwave system
deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant
stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of
foods and messy food spatters.
When the element is in use, the halogen bulb glows very brightly,
while the glow of the quartz bulb is barely–if at all–visible. (See
“Troubleshooting” for quartz bulb testing.) The microwave oven
cavity and door will become hot. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.

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.
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.
■
Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave
oven door.
■
■
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.
Stirring and Turning
■
■
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
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.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
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.
■
■
■
■
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.
Piercing
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
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.
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.
Shielding
■
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.
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 Characteristics
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.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
Cookware and Dinnerware
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
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.
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.
MATERIAL
RECOMMENDATIONS

Convection Cooking
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.
Meats may be roasted directly on the convection rack. Use
the browning pan to catch drippings.
Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted and tenderized using
oven cooking bags.
See “Food Type Chart” for automatic convection cycles (Bake or
Roast).
Check for doneness after the cycle has ended. If the food is
not completely done, let it stand in the microwave oven for a
few minutes to finish cooking.
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.
■
During any automatic or manual combination cycle, no more
than 30% microwave power is used.
Manual convection cooking may be used to proof bread. See
“Raising (Proofing) Bread” section for instructions.
NOTES:
■
Use the provided convection rack.
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).
■
Do not cover the turntable 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.
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.
■
■
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.
NOTES:
■
The microwave oven should be plugged in for at least
2 minutes.
This microwave oven may be preheated in the same way that
a standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods
call for preheating.)
■
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.
Combination Cooking
Combination cooking uses microwaves in addition to the
convection system to cook or roast foods more quickly than with
convection alone.
■
For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after
convection cooking or grill cooking before sensor cooking.
Combination cooking may also be done manually. Use
combination cooking for items such as roasts, meat loaf,
lasagna, casseroles and whole chicken. See “Time/Temp/Power
Cooking” or “Convect Time/Temp” sections for instructions.

Preheating
Using Food Type
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 the food. Preheating may be skipped after
it has started by touching “Skip Preheat” on the touch screen,
adding food and then touching “Continue.”
The Food Type menu has 12 methods from which to choose.
Breakfast Food
Liquids
Dairy/Dessert
Snacks
Frozen Food
Vegetable
Fish/Seafood
Poultry
Bread
Casserole
Meat
Preheating of the browning pan is programmed in many
automatic cooking cycles. This preheating phase may also be
skipped by touching “Skip Preheat.”
Grains (Pasta/Rice)
This menu allows you to choose what specific food item you
want to cook, and then choose how you would like to cook it, if
there is more than 1 cook method available. All cook methods
and foods are available through this menu.
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 already be hot.
See “Food Type Chart” in this manual, or review your Quick
Reference Guide for all of the food items and programmed
cycles.
Doneness
See “Main Menu” section for an example of how using the Food
Type menu works.
Doneness for food items may be adjusted for most automatic
cycles. Before starting a cycle, touch “Doneness” on the touch
screen, and adjust the doneness with “+” (more done) or “-” (less
done) controls. The “+” control adds to, and the “-” control
subtracts from the recommended default cook time.
To Use: Touch “Food Type” on Main Menu, select your food
category, and then follow the screen prompts to select your
specific food item and cook method, and to start the cycle.
The more done and less done settings in most foods for which
doneness may be adjusted are equal. That is, the same amount
of time may be added to or subtracted from the cycle. Some of
the Meat and Poultry cycles have only the more done settings.

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
cleaning products.
Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.
GREASE FILTERS
CONTROL PANEL/INTERACTIVE TOUCH DISPLAY
Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lye-
based oven cleaners.
Activate the Control Lock to avoid touch screen activation during
cleaning. See “Control Lock” section.
■
Hot water and mild detergent:
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads or gritty
washcloths. Damage may occur.
Soak filters, then scrub and swish to remove embedded dirt
and grease. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Use gentle pressure when wiping the touch screen.
■
Glass cleaner and soft cloth:
■
Dishwasher:
Apply glass cleaner to soft cloth, not directly on panel.
Mild soap, water and soft washcloth
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.
MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR
The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when
closed should be kept clean.
MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY
■
Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:
The gray finish inside the microwave oven cavity is a durable,
nonstick coating that makes soils easier to remove.
Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.
■
Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic
scrubbing pad:
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.
Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.
Stainless Steel (on some models)
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use soap-filled
scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty
washcloths or some paper towels. Rub in direction of grain.
The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when
closed should be kept clean.
Average soil
■
KITCHENAID® Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included)
KITCHENAID® Stainless Steel Wipes (not included):

Dishwasher
Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of either
lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave oven.
Stubborn Stains
Microwave Inlet Cover
To remove stains such as tomato sauce, use a nonabrasive
cleanser, a no-scratch pad, or a solution of dishwasher detergent
and water (1/4 cup [60 mL] detergent to 1 cup [250 mL] warm
water).
To avoid arcing and damage to the microwave oven, the
microwave inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept
clean.
■
Wipe with wet cloth.

tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem
continues, call an electrician.
Display shows time countdown, but is not operating

See “Learning Mode” section.
Microwave oven will not operate
■
■
Is the door completely closed?
Steam is coming from the vent screen
Firmly close door.

door?
Remove spacer, then firmly close door.
Fan running after cooking is finished
■
■
■
■
Is the electronic oven control set correctly?
See “Microwave Oven Control” section.
This is normal for convection and grill use. The fan may run

See “Control Lock” section.
Is the Learning Mode activated?
See “Learning Mode” section.

door?
The door has been closed for an extended period of time
(about 5 minutes) after adding food and before starting the

Odor coming from microwave oven during convection
cooking

Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust
the radio or TV antenna.

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” section). The bread should toast dark brown. If the
bread does not toast, call for service. See “Assistance or
Service” section.
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.
