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.

– 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.
Ge ne ra l inform a tion
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.

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-

• 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.

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.
Follow recipe or food package instructions if
available.

and foods with high water content, such as
soups and beverages
• Cooking small tender pieces of meat,
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 requiring special care, such as
cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and
custards
• Finishing cooking casseroles
5=50% of full power
4=40% of full power
3=30% of full power
Medium
• Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts

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 1⁄4 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.

Cooking with the te mpe ra ture probe
NOTE: 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. After correcting the
problem or removing the probe, touch
START to clear the Display.
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.
Don’t:
• 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.

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.

NOTE: Use cookware that will not melt or
burn in the hot oven. Do not use light plastic

Conve c tion Cooking
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.

Conve c tion c ooking with the te mpe ra ture probe
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.
NOTES:
• If you have not plugged in the Tempera-
ture 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 dif-
ferent foods, see the “Temperature probe

How c ombina tion c ooking works
meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the
outside. In combination cooking, the convec-
tion heat and microwave energy alternate
automatically. Your oven has two pre-
programmed settings that make it easy to
cook with both convection heat and micro-
wave energy automatically.
Microwave
He lp ful hints for c om b ina tion
c ooking :
• 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 check your cookbook for
information on proper use.
+
• 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 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
for foods that normally need a long time to
cook. This cooking process also leaves

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 1⁄4 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 3⁄4 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 1⁄4 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.

ue stions a nd Answe rs
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 3⁄4 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?
