IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Microwave ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However,  
as with any appliance, there are special installation and safety precautions which must be  
followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
burns, injury to persons, exposure to excessive  
microwave energy, or damage when using the  
microwave oven, follow basic precautions,  
including the following:  
wWARNING  
Read all instructions before using the  
This appliance should be serviced only  
by qualified service personnel. Call an  
authorized KitchenAid servicer for  
examination, repair, or adjustment.  
microwave oven.  
Read and follow the specific  
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POS-  
SIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE  
MICROWAVE ENERGY” found on  
page 5.  
Do not cover or block any opening on  
the appliance. Fire could result.  
Do not store this appliance 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.  
This appliance must be grounded. Con-  
nect only to properly grounded outlet.  
See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”  
found in the Installation Instructions.  
Install or locate this appliance only in  
accordance with the provided Installation  
Instructions.  
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.  
Some products such as whole eggs in  
the shell and sealed containers – for ex-  
ample, closed glass jars – could explode  
and should not be heated in this oven.  
This appliance is suitable for use above  
both gas and electric cooking equipment  
36 inches or less wide.  
Do not heat, store, or use flammable  
materials in or near the oven. Fumes  
could create a fire hazard or explosion.  
See door surface and interior cleaning  
instructions on page 63.  
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.  
Use this appliance only for its intended  
use as described in this manual. Do not  
use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this  
appliance. This type of oven is specifi-  
cally designed to heat or cook food. It is  
not designed for industrial or labora-  
tory use.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend  
appliance if paper, plastic, or other  
combustible materials are placed inside  
the oven to facilitate cooking. Paper  
could char or burn, and some plastics  
could melt if used when heating foods.  
As with any appliance, close supervision  
is necessary when used by children.  
Do not operate this appliance if it is not  
working properly, or if it has been  
damaged or dropped. Electrical shock,  
fire, or other hazards could result.  
– Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable  
cookware is not suitable and it is  
difficult to maintain appropriate deep  
frying temperatures.

Mic rowa ve Ove n Sa fe ty  
– Do not use the cavity for storage  
purposes. Do not leave paper prod-  
ucts, cooking utensils, or food in the  
cavity when not in use.  
Because of the automatic exhaust fan  
feature, the following cautions must be  
observed:  
Do not leave the area when using your  
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental  
fires from boilovers or spattering on the  
surface unit could spread, especially if  
the exhaust fan is operating.  
Do not allow grease and soil to build  
up in the grease filter. Exhaust fan  
efficiency will decrease and fire could  
result. Clean often following the filter  
cleaning instructions on page 64.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven  
cavity (continued):  
Test dinnerware or cookware  
before using. To test a dish for safe  
use, put it into the oven with a cup of  
water beside it. Cook at 100% Cook  
Power for 1 minute. If the dish gets  
hot and water stays cool, do not  
use it. Some dishes (melamine,  
some ceramic dinnerware, etc.)  
absorb microwave energy, becoming  
too hot to handle and slowing cooking  
times. Cooking in metal containers  
not designed for microwave use  
could damage the oven, as could  
containers with hidden metal (twist-  
ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze  
or trim).  
Do not change the cooktop or oven  
lights without turning the power off at  
the main power supply (see page 65).  
Electrical shock could result.  
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or  
plastic bags before placing bag in  
oven.  
Do not flame foods on a cooktop  
surface below this unit. The fan, if  
operating, could spread the flame and  
cause personal injury or property  
damage.  
Use care when cleaning the vent hood  
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as  
lye-based oven cleaners, could damage  
filter.  
Read and follow “Operating safety  
precautions” starting on page 6.  
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.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID  
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO  
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE  
ENERGY...  
(1) Door (bent),  
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or  
loosened),  
Do not attempt to operate this oven with  
the door open since open-door operation  
can result in harmful exposure to micro-  
wave energy. It is important not to defeat  
or tamper with the safety interlocks.  
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.  
Do not operate the microwave oven if the  
door window is broken.  
Do not place any object between the oven  
front face and the door or allow soil or  
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing  
surfaces.  
The microwave oven should be checked  
for microwave leakage by qualified service  
personnel after a repair is made.  
The oven should not be adjusted or  
repaired by anyone except properly  
qualified service personnel.  
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:  
Do not operate the microwave oven with  
the outer cabinet removed.

wWARNING  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical  
shock, burns, injury to persons, or  
damage when using the microwave  
oven, follow the precautions on  
pages 6-7.  
Never lean on the door or allow a child to  
swing on it when the door is open. Injury  
could result.  
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside  
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may  
cause them to burst and burn you, and  
possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled  
eggs before heating. In rare instances,  
poached eggs have been known to explode.  
Cover poached eggs and allow a standing  
time of 1 minute before cutting into them.  
Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not  
heat containers, but the hot food does.  
Stir before heating  
For best results, stir any liquid several  
times before heating or reheating. Liquids  
heated in certain containers (especially  
cylindrical containers) may become over-  
heated. The liquid may splash out with a  
loud noise during or after heating or when  
adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea  
bags, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven  
and possible personal injury.  
Do not overcook potatoes. Fire could  
result. At the end of the recommended  
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly  
firm because they will continue cooking  
during standing time. After microwaving,  
wrap potatoes in foil and set aside for  
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while  
standing.

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 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 inside of the oven door  
to look wavy after the oven has been  
running for a while.

Circuit breaker  
or fuse box  
If your electrical power line or outlet  
voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times  
may be longer. Have a qualified electrician  
check your electrical system.  
Do not use newspaper or other printed  
paper in the oven. Fire could result.  
Do not dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,  
paper, gourds, or clothes in the oven. Fire  
could result.

How mic rowa ve c ooking works  
Magnetron  
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 or light  
waves. You cannot see them, but you can  
see what they do.  
Oven cavity  
Mixing antenna  
A magnetron in the microwave oven pro-  
duces microwaves. The microwaves move  
into the area under the oven floor. There  
they bounce off the mixing antenna into the  
oven where they contact the food.

Getting to Know Your Microwa ve-Convection Hood Combina tion  
Ra d io inte rfe re nc e  
Operation of the microwave oven may cause  
interference to your radio, TV, or similar  
equipment. When there is interference, it  
may be reduced or eliminated by taking the  
following measures:  
Clean door and sealing surfaces of the  
oven.  
Adjust the receiving antenna of radio or  
television.  
Microwaves pass through most glass,  
paper, and plastics without heating them  
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves  
bounce off metal pans so food does not  
absorb the energy.  
Move the receiver away from the micro-  
wave oven.  
Plug the microwave oven into a different  
outlet so that the microwave oven and  
receiver are on different branch circuits.  
Microwaves may not reach the center of a  
roast. The heat spreads to the center from  
the outer, cooked areas just as in regular  
oven cooking. This is one of the reasons for  
letting some foods (for example, roasts or  
baked potatoes) stand for a while after  
cooking, or for stirring some foods during the  
cooking time.  
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.

Using the me ta l ra c k  
The Metal Rack (Part No. 4359242) gives  
you extra space when cooking in more than  
one container at the same time. The metal  
rack must not be turned upside-down on the  
bottom of the oven. You can also use the  
Metal Rack for convection cooking (see  
pages 49, 52, and 53).  
wWARNING  
If you need a replacement rack and your  
KitchenAid dealer does not stock the rack,  
you can order it, by part number, by calling  
1-800-422-1230 and following the instruc-  
tions and telephone prompts you hear.  
Burn Hazard  
Use oven mitts to remove items from  
microwave.  
Do not touch areas near oven vent  
openings during use.  
Inse rting the ra c k  
Failure to follow these instructions  
can result in burns.  
NOTES:  
Do not store the Metal Rack in the oven.  
Arcing and damage to the oven could result  
if someone accidentally starts the oven.  
Normal position: Insert the rack securely on  
Use rack only in the microwave oven.  
Do not use rack with browning dish.  
the rack guides on the side walls of the oven.  
Do not let food container on rack touch  
the top or sides of the oven.  
For microwave cooking, do not cook  
foods directly on rack without putting them  
in containers first.  
When convection or combination  
cooking, you may be able to cook some  
foods directly on the rack. (See “Convec-  
tion Cooking” and “Combination Cooking”  
sections for additional information.)  
Bottom position: Insert the rack securely  
on the bottom of the oven.  
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.

ALWAYS cook food for the minimum  
recommended cooking time. If necessary,  
touch EASY MINUTE while the oven is  
operating or after it has completed the  
cooking cycle (see page 42 for more  
information). Then check for doneness to  
avoid overcooking the food.  
Stir, turn over, or rearrange food being  
cooked about halfway through the cook  
time for most even doneness with all  
recipes.  
If a glass cover is not available, use  
wax paper, paper towels, or microwave-  
approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner  
to vent steam during cooking.  
Although a new rating method* rates  
this oven at 850 watts, you may use a  
reliable cookbook and recipes developed  
for microwave ovens previously rated at  
700-800 watts.  
*IEC-705 Test Procedure. The IEC-705 Test Procedure is an  
internationally recognized method of rating microwave wattage output  
and does not represent an actual change to output power or cooking  
performance.

Cooking a t diffe re nt c ook powe rs  
For best results, some recipes call for  
different Cook Powers. The lower the  
Cook Power, the slower the cooking. Each  
Number Pad also stands for a different  
percentage of Cook Power. Many micro-  
wave 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.

Using CUSTOM DEFROST  
Your microwave oven automatically defrosts  
a variety of common meats at preset Cook  
Powers for preset times. The 2-stage defrost  
cycle is programmed for meat, poultry, and  
fish. All you do is touch the Command Pad  
assigned to the desired category and enter  
the weight of the items being defrosted.  
Your microwave oven does the rest.  
NOTES:  
See the “Custom defrost chart” on pages  
27 and 28 for defrosting directions for  
each food.  
To defrost items not listed in “Custom  
defrost chart” on pages 27 and 28, use  
30% Cook Power. Refer to a reliable  
cookbook for defrosting information.  
You can set CUSTOM DEFROST as one

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 frac-  
tions of a pound (for example 4 ounces  
equals 14 pound). However, in order to enter  
food weight in CUSTOM DEFROST, you  
must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

De frosting tips  
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).  
The shape of the package alters the  
defrosting time. Shallow rectangular  
packets defrost more quickly than a deep  
block.  
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.  
Only use CUSTOM DEFROST for raw  
food. CUSTOM DEFROST gives best  
results when food to be thawed is a  
minimum of 0°F. If food has been stored in  
a refrigerator-freezer that does not main-  
tain a temperature of 0°F 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  
standing time, see “Microwave cooking  
tips” on page 69.)

Using KEEP WARM  
You can safely keep hot, cooked food warm  
in your microwave oven for up to 99 minutes,  
99 seconds (about 1 hour, 40 minutes). You  
can use KEEP WARM by itself, or to auto-  
matically follow a cooking cycle.  
NOTES:  
Complete meals kept warm on a dinner  
plate should be covered during KEEP  
WARM.  
Do not use more than one complete  
KEEP WARM cycle (about 1 hour, 40  
minutes). The quality of some foods will  
suffer with extended time.  
KEEP WARM operates for up to 99  
minutes, 99 seconds.  
Opening the oven door cancels KEEP  
WARM. Close the door and touch KEEP  
WARM, then touch START if additional  
KEEP WARM time is desired.  
Food cooked covered should be covered  
during KEEP WARM.  
Pastry items (pies, turnovers, etc.) should  
be uncovered during KEEP WARM.

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 and 200°F). See  
your cookbook for helpful information on  
cooking different types of food.

Te m p e ra ture Prob e c ooking tip s:  
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.  
Casseroles cooked using the Tempera-  
ture Probe should be made from  
precooked foods. Do not use raw meats,  
raw vegetables, and cream sauces in  
casseroles.  
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 indi-  
vidual 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 thermom-  
eter in two to three places to ensure  
adequate doneness.  
Roasts may vary in size, shape, and  
composition. 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.  
Dont:  
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.

SLOWCOOK/SIMMER lets you stew or  
simmer food by touching just one pad. A  
sensor in your oven detects the vapor  
released by the food, and the amount of  
vapor detected tells the oven how long to  
stew or simmer your food.  
1. Place food in oven and  
close door.  
2. Choose SLOWCOOK/SIMMER.  
After 3 seconds, the oven will begin  
heating at 70% Cook Power. The oven  
will then cook at 50% Cook Power and  
finally at 30% Cook Power.

How c onve c tion c ooking works  
Convection cooking circulates hot air  
through the oven cavity with a fan. The  
constantly 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.  
He lp ful hints for c onve c tion  
c ooking :  
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils  
can be used in convection cooking.  
As in conventional cooking, the distance  
of the food from the heat source affects  
cooking results. Follow cookbook recipes  
and refer to the charts in this Use and  
Care Guide. It is also helpful to find a  
similar recipe in the cookbook index and to  
refer to recipes’ suggested techniques.  
Use metal cookware only for convection  
cooking. Never use for microwave or  
combination 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  
and to finish baking at 350°F.)  
Do not cover baking rack with aluminum  
foil. It interferes with the flow of air that  
cooks the food.  
Round pizza pans are excellent cookware  
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.  
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 temperatures  
or reduce some cooking times from the  
convection oven cooking directions. See  
examples in your cookbook and in the  
charts in this section.

Conve c tion Cooking  
NOTE: Use cookware that will not melt or  
burn in the hot oven. Do not use light plastic  
containers, plastic wraps, or paper products  
during any convection combination cycle.  
wWARNING  
Burn Hazard  
Use oven mitts to remove items  
from microwave.  
Do not touch areas near oven vent  
openings during use.  
Failure to follow these instructions

Conve nie nc e foods c ooking c ha rt  
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 frozen pizza.  
Convection preheat to the desired tempera-  
ture, and use metal or ovenproof glass  
cookware. When cooking or baking these  
convenience foods, follow package  
directions for preparation and 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.

casseroles. The probe is designed to turn off  
the oven when it senses the temperature  
you chose (between 90°F and 200°F). See  
your cookbook for helpful information on  
cooking different types of food.  
NOTES:  
If you have not plugged in the Tempera-

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 combina-  
tion cooking.  
Combination microwave/convection  
Sometimes combination microwave-convec-  
tion cooking is suggested to get the proper  
cooking results. It shortens the cooking time

Cooking Guid e  
Mic rowa ve c ooking tips  
Am ount of food  
Cove ring 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 con-  
tainers of food at the same time, you can  
do so with the Metal Rack. For example,  
you can cook two frozen dinners or reheat  
two plates of food by placing one on the  
rack and one under the rack.  
Cover food to:  
Reduce splattering  
Shorten cooking times  
Retain food moisture  
All coverings that allow microwaves to pass  
through are suitable.  
Re le a sing p re ssure in food s  
Several foods (for example: baked  
potatoes, sausages, egg yolks, and some  
fruits) are tightly covered by a skin or  
membrane. This can cause the food to  
burst from steam building up in them  
during cooking. To relieve the pressure  
and to prevent bursting, prick these foods  
before cooking with a fork, cocktail pick, or  
toothpick.  
Sta rting te m p e ra ture of food  
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 sta nd ing tim e  
Always allow food to stand for a while  
after cooking. Standing time after defrost-  
ing, cooking, or reheating always improves  
the result since the temperature will then  
be evenly distributed throughout the food.  
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.  
Com p osition 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.  
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.  
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.  
Size a nd sha p e  
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 food s  
Stirring and turning foods distributes  
heat quickly to the center of the dish and  
avoids overcooking at the outer edges of  
the food.

Cooking Guid e  
Arra ng ing food  
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.  
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.  
If you use aluminum containers without  
package instructions, follow these guide-  
lines:  
Place container in a glass bowl and add  
some water so that it covers the bottom  
of the container, not more than 14 inch  
high. This ensures even heating of the  
container bottom.  
Always remove the lid to avoid damage  
to the oven.  
Use only undamaged containers.  
Do not use containers taller than 34 inch.  
Container must be half filled.  
Layer thin slices of meat on top of  
each other.  
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 14 inch between the aluminum  
container and the walls of the oven and  
also between two aluminum containers.  
Reheating food in aluminum foil contain-  
ers 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.  
Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after  
heating so that heat is spread evenly  
throughout container.  
Using a lum inum foil  
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 d o in  
your m ic rowa ve ove n  
Do not do canning of foods in the oven.  
Closed glass jars may explode, resulting in  
damage to the oven or possible personal  
injury.  
Do not use the microwave oven to sterilize  
objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to  
maintain the high temperature required for  
safe sterilization.

Q
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 34 inch deep and filled with food  
to absorb microwave energy). Never allow  
metal to touch walls or door. (For more  
information, see page 70.)  
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  
operating?  
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 microwave  
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?
