Microwave Oven Safety
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
completely understood, or if doubt exists
as to whether the microwave oven is
properly grounded.
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 ground-
ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
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.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance 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 equip-
ment grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
WARNING: Improper use of the
grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service-
man if the grounding instructions are not

Getting to Know Your Microwave-
Convection Hood Combination
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics
you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you
use your oven.
How your microwave
oven works
Radio interference
Using your microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference,
you can reduce it or remove it by:
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave
energy is not hot. It causes food to make its
own heat, and it's this heat that cooks the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio waves
or light waves. You cannot see them, but you
can see what they do.
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces
of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
A magnetron in the microwave oven
produces microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
Magnetron
For the best
cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest
cooking time recommended. Check to see
how the food is cooking. If needed, touch
the EASY MINUTE while the oven is
operating or after the cooking cycle is over
(see the “Using EASY MINUTE” section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food
being cooked about halfway through the
cooking time for all recipes. This will help
make sure the food is evenly cooked.
NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset
if you have interrupted the cycle.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish,
use wax paper, or microwave-approved
paper towels or plastic wrap. Turn back a
corner of the plastic wrap to vent steam
during cooking.
Oven cavity
Mixing antenna
Microwaves pass through most glass,
paper, and plastics without heating them so
food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal containers so food does
not absorb the energy.
The microwaves disturb water molecules
in the food. As the molecules bounce around
bumping into each other, heat is made, like
rubbing your hands together. This is the heat
that does the cooking.
Testing your
microwave oven
To test the oven put about 1 cup (250 mL) of
cold water in a glass container in the oven.
Close the door. Make sure it latches. Cook
at 100% power for 2 minutes. When the
time is up, the water should be heated.

temperatures.
• Do not use newspaper or other printed
paper in the oven.
• Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper,
gourds, or clothes in the oven.
• Do not start a microwave oven when it is
empty. Product life may be shortened. If
you practice programming the oven, put a
container of water in the oven. It is normal
for the oven door to look wavy after the
oven has been running for a while.
• 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.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of
the recommended cooking time, potatoes
should be slightly firm because they will
continue cooking during standing time.
After microwaving, let potatoes stand for
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.
Electrical
connection
If the incoming voltage to the microwave is
less than 110 volts, cooking times may be
longer. Have a qualified electrician check
your electrical system.
• When you use a browning dish, follow the
directions supplied with the browning dish.

Arcing and damage to the oven could result
if someone accidentally starts the oven.
• Use rack only in the microwave oven.
• Do not use rack with browning dish.
• Do not let food container on rack touch
the top or sides of the oven.
If you need a replacement rack and your
KitchenAid dealer does not stock the rack,
you can order it, by part number, by calling
1-800-461-5681 and following the instruc-
tions and telephone prompts you hear.
• For microwave cooking, do not cook
foods directly on rack without putting them
in containers first.
• When convection or combination cook-
ing, you may be able to cook some foods
directly on the rack. (See “Convection
Cooking” and “Combination Cooking”
sections for additional information.)
Inserting the rack
• Do not place a metal cooking container
on rack when microwave cooking or
combination cooking. Place a microwave-
safe plate under container.
• Only use the Metal Rack when cooking at
more than one level.
Normal position: Insert the rack securely on
the rack guides on the side walls of the oven.
Bottom position: Insert the rack securely
on the bottom of the oven.

Microwave cooking
Cooking at different cook powers
For best results, some recipes call for differ-
ent cook powers. The lower the cook power,
the slower the cooking. Each Number pad
also stands for a different percentage of
cook power. Many microwave cookbook
recipes tell you by number, percent, or
name which cook power to use.
The following chart gives the percentage of
cook power each Number pad stands for, and
the cook power name usually used. It also
tells you when to use each cook power.
Follow recipe or food package instructions if
available.

ground meat, poultry pieces, fish fillets,
and vegetables
9=90% of full power
8=80% of full power
7=70% of full power
• Heating cream soups
• Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles
Medium-High
• Cooking and heating foods that need a
cook power lower than high (for example,
whole fish and meat loaf) or when food is
cooking too fast
• Reheating a single serving of food
6=60% of full power
• Cooking delicate foods, such as cheese and
egg dishes, pudding, and custards
• Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as
lasagna
5=50% of full power
4=40% of full power
3=30% of full power
Medium
• Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts
• Melting chocolate
• Simmering stews
• Heating pastries
• Defrosting foods, such as bread, fish, meats,
poultry, and precooked foods

Weight conversion chart
If the weight on the food package is in
fractions of a pound, you can use the
following chart to convert the weight to
decimals.
You are probably used to food weights as
being in pounds and ounces that are
fractions of a pound (for example 4 ounces
[113 g] equals 1⁄4 pound). However, in order
to enter food weight in CUSTOM
DEFROST, you must specify pounds and
tenths of a pound.

Defrosting tips
• The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular
packets defrost more quickly than a deep
block.
• When using CUSTOM DEFROST, the
weight to be entered is the net weight in
pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight
of the food minus the container).
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
• Only use CUSTOM DEFROST for raw
food. CUSTOM DEFROST gives best re-
sults when food to be thawed is a mini-
mum of 0°F (-18°C). If food has been
stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does
not maintain a temperature of 0°F (-18°C)
or below, always program a lower food
weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.
• If the food is kept outside the freezer
for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food
weight.
• If the food is kept outside the freezer for
more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting
ready-made food, defrost by time and
power and let stand after defrosting.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum
foil to shield foods like chicken wings, leg
tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not
touch the side of the oven. Foil can
damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of
foil if they start to become warm. Make
sure the foil does not touch the sides, top,
or bottom of the oven.
• For better results, a preset standing time
is included in the defrosting time. This may
make the defrosting time seem longer than
expected. (For more information on stand-
ing time, see “Microwave cooking tips” on
page 64.)

guesswork out of cooking roasts and larger
casseroles. The probe is designed to turn
off the oven when it senses the temperature
you chose (between 90°F [32°C] and 200°F
[93°C]). See a reliable cookbook for helpful
information on cooking different types of
food.

Microwave cooking
• Casseroles cooked using the Temperature
Probe should be made from
precooked foods. Do not use raw meats,
raw vegetables, and cream sauces in cas-
seroles.
Temperature Probe cooking tips:
• Stir foods during cooking when recom-
mended.
• Stir soups, casseroles, and drinks before
serving.
• Cover roasts with foil after cooking and let
stand a few minutes. Remove foil if you
decide to cook it longer.
• Dry casseroles do not work well.
• Thaw frozen casseroles and meats in
the microwave oven before inserting the
probe.
• If you are cooking more than one individ-
ual serving at the same time, such as
mugs of soup, check the probe setting in
several of the items – all the mugs may not
heat at the same rate.
• Remove the probe from the oven when
not cooking by temperature.
• Dry meat loaf mixtures do not work well.
• Check pork and poultry with thermometer
in two to three places to ensure
adequate doneness.
• Roasts may vary in size, shape, and com-
position. Use the Temperature Probe as a
guide.
• For casseroles, the tip of the probe
should be in the center of the food. Stir
foods when recommended. Replace the
probe.
Do not:
• Let probe or probe cable touch any part
of the oven interior.
• Let probe touch foil (if used). You can
keep foil away from probe with wooden
toothpicks. Remove foil if arcing occurs.
• Use paper, plastic wrap, or plastic contain-
ers. They will be in the oven too long and
might distort.
• Force probe into frozen food.
• Plug the pointed end of the Temperature
Probe into the socket.
• For liquids, balance the probe on a
wooden spoon or spatula so the tip of
the probe is in the center of the liquid.
• For roasts, the tip of the probe should be
in the center of the largest muscle, but not
touching fat or bone.

Removing and cleaning the
Temperature Probe:
1. After oven has shut off, unplug the
Temperature Probe using an oven mitt or
hot pad.
2. Wipe probe with a hot, sudsy cloth and
dry thoroughly. Use a plastic scouring
pad to remove cooked-on foods.
3. You can place probe in the silverware
basket of a dishwasher.
Using AUTO ROAST
AUTO ROAST lets you roast food with the
Temperature Probe, without needing to
enter a final food temperature. When the
probe senses the preprogrammed final food
temperature for the food category you
chose, the oven will turn off.

How convection cooking works
Convection cooking circulates hot air
through the oven cavity with a fan. The con-
stantly moving air surrounds the food to
heat the outer portion quickly. Your oven
uses convection cooking whenever you use
the Convection Command Pads.
• When baking cakes, cookies, breads,
rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes
call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven
just as you do a regular oven. You can
start heavier dense foods such as meats,
casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
• All heatproof cookware or metal utensils
Helpful hints for convection
cooking:
• Do not cover baking rack with aluminum
foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks the food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cook-
ware for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
• Use convection cooking for items like
souffles, breads, cookies, angel food
cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish
cooking.
can be used in convection cooking.
• As in conventional cooking, the distance
of the food from the heat source affects
cooking results. Follow reliable cookbook
recipes and refer to the charts in this Use
and Care Guide.
• Use metal cookware only for convection
cooking. Never use for microwave or com-
bination cooking since arcing and damage
to the oven may occur.
• After preheating, if you do not open the
door, the oven will automatically hold at
the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.
• You can set up to three convection cycles.
(Example for two crust pies: you can set
the oven to preheat for baking at 425°F
[218°C] and to finish baking at 350°F
[177°C].)
• Use cookware that will not melt or burn in
the hot oven. Do not use light plastic con-
tainers, plastic wraps, or paper products
during any convection combination cycle.
• You do not need to use any special
techniques to adapt your favorite oven
recipes to convection cooking; however,
you may need to lower some tempera-
tures or reduce some cooking times from
the convection oven cooking directions.
See examples in the charts in this section.

Convenience foods cooking chart
package directions for preparation and
Convection cooking of convenience foods is
similar to cooking in a conventional oven.
Select items that fit conveniently on the
turntable, such as an 81⁄2-inch (22 cm)
frozen pizza. Convection preheat to the
desired temperature, and use metal or
ovenproof glass cookware. When cooking
or baking these convenience foods, follow
selecting the correct container. Because of
the great variety of foods available, times
given here are approximate. It is advisable to
always check food about 5 minutes before
the minimum recommended time, and cook
longer only if needed. Use oven mitts to
insert or remove items from the oven.

Convection cooking with the temperature probe
NOTES:
The Temperature Probe helps take the
guesswork out of cooking roasts and larger
casseroles. The probe is designed to turn off
the oven when it senses the temperature
you chose (between 90°F [32°C] and 200°F
[93°C]). See a reliable cookbook for helpful
information on cooking different types of
food.
• If you have not plugged in the
Temperature Probe properly or if probe is
defective, “PROBE” will appear on the
Display, three tones will sound, and the
oven will not turn on.
• For correct probe temperatures for
different foods, see the “Temperature probe

How combination cooking works
meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the
outside. In combination cooking, the
convection heat and microwave energy
alternate automatically. Your oven has two
pre-programmed settings that make it easy
to cook with both convection heat and
microwave energy automatically.
Microwave
Helpful hints for combination
cooking:
• Meats may be roasted directly on the
Metal Rack or in a shallow roasting pan
placed on the rack. When using the Metal
Rack, please refer to the section about
“Using the metal rack.”
+
• Less tender cuts of beef can be roasted
and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
• When baking, check for doneness after
cooking time is up. If not completely done,
let stand in oven for a few minutes to
complete cooking.
Convection
NOTE: During combination baking, some
cookware may cause arcing when it comes
in contact with the oven walls or metal
accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of
electricity that occurs when microwaves
come in contact with metal. If arcing occurs,
place a heatproof dish between the pan
and the Metal Rack. If arcing occurs with
other cookware, stop using it for
Combination microwave/convection
Sometimes combination microwave-convec-
tion cooking is suggested to get the proper
cooking results. It shortens the cooking time
for foods that normally need a long time to
cook. This cooking process also leaves
combination cooking.

Caring for Your Microwave-
Convection Hood Combination
To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should
maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully.

The grease filters should be removed and
cleaned often, at least once a month.
microwave oven
NOTE: If your microwave hood combination
is installed to recirculate air, a charcoal filter
(Part No. 4395956) can be ordered. It should
be replaced every 6-12 months. The char-
coal filter cannot be cleaned.
Grease filters:
1. Disconnect power or unplug microwave
For interior surfaces: Wash often with warm,
sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth. Use
only mild, nonabrasive soaps or a mild deter-
gent. Be sure to keep the areas clean
where the door and oven frame touch
when closed. Wipe well with clean water.
oven.
For exterior surfaces and control panel:
Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.
Apply spray glass cleaner to soft cloth; do
not spray directly on oven.
2. To remove grease filters, slide each
filter to the side. Pull filters downward and
push to the other side. The filter will drop
out.
For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the
oven for 2 or 3 minutes. Steam will soften the
soil. To get rid of odors inside the oven, boil
a cup of water with lemon juice or vinegar.
NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool
pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper
towels, etc., can damage the control panel
and the interior and exterior oven surfaces.
3. Soak grease filters in hot water and a
mild detergent. Scrub and swish to
remove embedded dirt and grease.Rinse
well and shake to dry. Do not use
ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The
aluminum will darken.
Cleaning the metal rack
• Wash by hand with a mild detergent and a
soft or nylon scrub brush. Dry completely.
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers or
cleansers to clean rack.

Microwave cooking tips
Amount of food
Covering food
• The more food you prepare, the longer it
takes. A rule of thumb is that a double
amount of food requires almost double the
time. If one potato takes 4 minutes to
cook, you need about 7 minutes to cook
two potatoes.
• If you want to cook two meals or
containers of food at the same time, you
can do so with the Metal Rack. For
Cover food to:
• Reduce splattering
• Shorten cooking times
• Retain food moisture
All coverings that allow microwaves to pass
through are suitable.
Releasing pressure in foods
example, you can cook two frozen dinners
or reheat two plates of food by placing one
on the rack and one under the rack.
• Several foods (for example: baked
potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some
fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or mem-
brane. This can cause the food to burst
from steam building up in them
Starting temperature of food
during cooking. To relieve the pressure and
to prevent bursting, prick these foods
before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or
toothpick.
• The lower the temperature of the food
being put into the microwave oven, the
longer it takes to cook. Food at room
temperature will be reheated more quickly
than food at refrigerator temperature.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand for a while
after cooking. Standing time after
defrosting, cooking, or reheating always
improves the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed throughout
the food.
Composition of food
• Food with a lot of fat and sugar will be
heated faster than food containing a lot
of water. Fat and sugar will also reach a
higher temperature than water in the
cooking process.
• When cooking in a microwave oven,
food continues to cook even when the
microwave energy is turned off. Food is no
longer cooked by microwaves, but it is still
being cooked by the high heat left over
from the microwave oven.
• The length of the standing time depends
on the volume and density of the food.
Sometimes it can be as short as the time it
takes you to remove the food from the
oven and take it to the serving table.
However, with larger, denser food, the
standing time may be as long as 10
minutes.
• The more dense the food, the longer it
takes to heat. “Very dense” food like meat
takes longer to reheat than lighter, more
porous food like sponge cakes.
Size and shape
• Smaller pieces of food will cook faster
than larger pieces and same-shaped
pieces of food cook more evenly than
irregularly shaped foods.
• With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner
parts will cook faster than the thicker
areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken
wings and legs in the center of the dish.
Stirring, turning foods
• Stirring and turning foods distributes
heat quickly to the center of the dish and
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of
the food.

Cooking guide
Arranging food
If you use aluminum containers without pack-
age instructions, follow these
guidelines:
For best results, distribute food evenly on
the plate. You can do this in several ways:
• If you are cooking several items of the
same food, such as baked potatoes,
place them in a ring pattern for uniform
cooking.
• Place container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom
of the container, not more than 1⁄
inch high.
4
This ensures even heating of the container
bottom.
• Always remove the lid to avoid damage
to the oven.
• When cooking foods of uneven shapes
or thickness, such as chicken breasts,
place the smaller or thinner area of the
food towards the center of the dish where
it will be heated last.
• Use only undamaged containers.
• Do not use containers taller than 3⁄
inch.
4
• Layer thin slices of meat on top of
each other.
• Container must be half filled.
• When you cook or reheat whole fish,
score the skin – this prevents cracking.
Shield the tail and head of whole fish with
small pieces of foil to prevent overcooking
and ensure the foil does not touch the
sides of the oven.
• Do not let food or container touch the top
or sides of the oven. This will prevent
possible arcing.
• To avoid sparking, there must be a
minimum 1⁄
inch (.6 cm) between the
4
aluminum container and the walls of the
oven and also between two aluminum
containers.
• Reheating food in aluminum foil
containers usually takes up to double the
time compared to reheating in plastic,
glass, china, or paper containers. The time
when food is ready will vary a great deal.
Using aluminum foil
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after
heating so that heat is spread evenly
throughout container.
Metal containers usually should not be
used in a microwave oven. There are,
however, some exceptions. If you have
purchased food which is prepackaged in an
aluminum foil container, then refer to the
instructions on the package. When using
aluminum foil containers, cooking times
may be longer because microwaves will
only penetrate the top of the food.
Cooking you should not do in your
microwave oven
• Do not do canning of foods in the oven.
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in
damage to the oven.
• Do not use the microwave oven to
sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is dif-
ficult to maintain the high temperature
required for safe sterilization.

Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven
so that I may reheat or cook on two
levels at a time?
You can use a rack only if rack is supplied
with your microwave oven. Use of any rack
not supplied with the microwave oven can
result in poor cooking performance and/or
arcing.
Can I use either metal or aluminum
pans in my microwave oven?
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for
shielding (use small, flat pieces), small
skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not
taller than 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm) deep and filled
with food to absorb microwave energy).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
(For more information, see page 65.)
This appearance is normal and does not
affect the operation of your oven.
Sometimes the door of my microwave
oven appears wavy. Is this normal?
You hear the sound of the transformer
when the magnetron tube cycles on.
What are the humming noises that I
hear when my microwave oven is oper-
ating?
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this
should not happen.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot
pads to remove food after cooking.
What does “standing time” mean?
“Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
This frees the oven for other cooking.
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave
oven? How do I get the best results?
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacturer’s guidelines or use
the preprogrammed Popcorn pad. Do not
use regular paper bags. Use the “listening
test” by stopping the oven as soon as
the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or
2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped
kernels. You can also use special micro-
wave poppers. When using a popper, be
sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do
not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to
vent this steam out the top vent.
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
