icrowave Oven Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
"DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you
don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the
chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns,
electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or
exposure to excessive microwave energy:
• Read all instructions before using the
microwave oven.
• Read and follow the specific "PRE-
CAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in
this section.
• The microwave oven must be
grounded. Connect only to properly
grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS" found in the
"Installation Instructions" section and on
page 5 of this manual.
• Install or locate the microwave oven
only in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions.
• Some products such as whole eggs in
the shell and sealed containers - for
example, closed glass jars - may
explode and should not be heated in
the microwave oven.
• Use the microwave oven only for its
intended use as described in this manual.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors
in the microwave oven. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat, cook, or
dry food. It is not designed for industrial
or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close supervision
is necessary when used by children.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if it
has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
,,The microwave oven should be serviced
only by qualified service personnel.
Call an authorized service company for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
• See door surface cleaning instructions
in the "Caring for Your Microwave
Oven" section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the
oven cavity:
- Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend the microwave oven if paper,
plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
- Remove wire twist-ties from paper
or plastic bags before placing bags
in oven.
- 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.
- Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY..,
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven (c)
with the door open since open-door
operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with
the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the
oven front face and the door or allow
soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces. (d)
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:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken
or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.

icrowave Oven Safely
GROUNDING
• 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.
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.
INSTRUCTIONS
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:
The microwave oven 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 equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the microwave oven.

Your ULTIMA COOK oven is designed to
make your cooking experience as enjoyable
and productive as possible. To help get you
up and running quickly, the following is a list
of the oven's basic features:
1. Door Handle.
2. Window with Metal Shield. Shield
prevents microwaves from escaping. It is
designed as a screen to allow you to view
food as it cooks.
3. Glass Turntable. This turntable turns
food as it cooks for more even cooking. It
must be in the oven during operation for
best cooking results.
4. Removable Turntable Support
(under turntable).
5. ULTIMA COOK Guide Label.
6. Light. Automatically turns on when door
is opened or when oven is operating.
7. Quartz Broil Element (hidden in coiling).
This element is used for the ULTIMA
COOK, CRISP, and BROIL functions. It is in
a special computer-designed compartment
that helps focus heat from the element onto
the food. The quartz broil element is better
than traditional broil elements because it
gets hotter faster. And it is not in your way
when you are cleaning the oven.
8. ULTIMA COOK Oven Control Panel.
Touch pads on this panel to perform all
functions.
9. Door Safety Lock System. The oven will not
operate unless the door is securely closed.
10. Lower Oven Control Panel (Models
KEHC309J, KEHC379J). See "Lower
Oven Use and Care Guide" for more
information.
11. Convection Element and Fan (NOT
visible). This element and fan unit is
used for the ULTIMA COOK and CON-
VECT functions.

• Use non-metallic cookware for ULTIMA
COOK. Ovenproof glass, ceramic and
plastic bakeware are suitable for use
during ULTIMA COOK.
• Do not use coverings or containers made
of foil, plastic not recommended for use in
a conventional oven, waxed paper or other
paper when using ULTIMA COOK.
• Covering of foods while cooking with
ULTIMA COOK is generally not necessary.
If your recipe requires covering use a
casserole dish with a lid for best results.
• For most cooking with ULTIMA COOK, use
the convection grid on the turntable. The
convection grid allows hot air to circulate
around the bakeware. Refer to the
ULTIMA COOK chart to know when to use
the convection grid.
• To aid in cooking, the crisper pan is some-
times used during ULTIMA COOK. Refer to
the ULTIMA COOK chart to know when to
use the crisper pan. When using the crisper
pan, place the pan directly on the turntable.
• When roasting with ULTIMA COOK, meats
and poultry will spatter more heavily than
when roasting in a conventional oven. To
make cleanup easier you may use plastic
oven bags designed for use in a conven-
tional oven. When using oven bags, follow
the manufacturer's instructions about
preparation of the bag for cooking.
continued on next page 11
etting to Know Your ULTIMA COOK TMOven
• Select tender cuts of meat when cooking
with ULTIMA COOK. Less tender cuts of
meat that require long, slow cooking
cycles to become tender are not well suit-
ed for ULTIMA COOK.
• No preheating is required when using
ULTIMA COOK.
• Cooking times preset for ULTIMA COOK
were carefully set for you, but if the done-
ness is not what you desire keep these
two tips in mind. If foods are typically more
done than you desire, always check the
doneness of the food a few minutes before
the end of the cycle. For meats, always
rely on an instant read meat thermometer
to determine doneness. If foods are less
done than you desire, code number, 69
(the Two more minutes cycle) allows you
to add an additional two minutes cooking
time at the end of a cooking cycle. You
may use this cycle multiple times until the
doneness you desire is achieved.
• Cookware, the interior oven surfaces and
the door interior surface will become very
hot during ULTIMA COOK. Always use hot
pads or oven mitts when checking food or
removing utensils from the oven.
• Arrange pieces of food in a single layer on
the crisper pan or baking dish for best results.

......ooking with CONVECT
This section gives you step-by-step instructions for operating the CONVECT function in the
ULTIMA COOK TM oven.
NOTE: ..............................................................................................................................
• Use the short convection grid with bake- ;
ware or place food directly on grid, The
turntable will catch drippings from the food.
.........................................................................................................................................1. Place convection grid in oven
;;;;;; and close the door.
Use Convect to cook small amounts of food
on a single rack using the CONVECT feature
in the ULTIMA COOK oven, For even heat-
ing, the fan at the rear of the oven circulates
the heated air from the element. Do not
cover the grid with aluminum foil. Always
use the convection grid when cooking with
CONVECT. The grid positions the food in
the best location for air circulation around it
during cooking. Place the grid in the
ULTIMA COOK oven before preheating.
2. TOUCH
twice
NOTES:
• You can change the cooking tempera-
ture setting as desired from 170°F
(75°C) minimum to to 450°F (232°C)
maximum by touching the correct
number keys now.
• Cooking times using CONVECT may
be slightly longer than suggested in
the cookbook recipes included with
your lower oven.
We recommend preheating the oven
before placing food inside for cooking.
When the oven is preheated, place cook-
ware containing food on the convection grid
or place food directly on the grid. Prevent
heat loss by opening the door only when
necessary and closing it quickly during
CONVECT cooking.
NOTE: You may choose to QUICK

Cooking
• icrowave
: x;: i!_
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the
basics you need to know to operate your ULTIMA COOK TM oven for microwave cooking,
Please read this information before you use your oven.
,_"=,=/'__",/'::iii__"V'_'A _'_'=¸¸_¸='¸¸¸¸¸'_'¸''¸¸:_'_="=_"_''y_:="'=..................

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.
A magnetron in the ULTIMA COOK oven
produces microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
The glass turntable of your ULTIMA COOK
oven lets microwaves pass through. Then
they bounce off a metal floor, back through
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by
the food.
Magnetron
•Oven cavity
Metal floor Glass turntable
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.
Microwaves do heat the Crispware Crisper
Pan, however. The rubberized pad on the
bottom of the Crisper Pan is made of a special
material which absorbs microwaves. This
heats the pan very rapidly, browning and
crisping the bottom of the food.
20
The Crisper Pan reaches 436°F (210°C) in
about 2 minutes (faster than a browning dish)
and stays at that temperature. The bottom
coating of the Crisper Pan is designed to stop
absorbing microwaves at 436°F (210°C),
which is the best temperature for frying.
Using your ULTIMA COOK oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference,
you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces
of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the
ULTIMA COOK oven.
...... i
• 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.

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.

icrowave Cooking
Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. To test a dish before use, put it into
the oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside
it. Cook at 100% cook power for one minute.
If the dish gets hot and water stays cool,
do not use it. Some dishes (melamine,
some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb
microwave energy, and may become too hot
to handle or may slow 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).
zii iiiili!i-lii_iiiii:i:;!i!!ii!_iiiii_iiiiiiiiiHii_iii_iii;i_z_=_:::
• Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open.
• Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but heat from the food can
make the container hot.
NOTE: Heat from the broil element will
cause container and oven parts to become
hot. Also, the Crisper Pan always
becomes very hot when used. Use oven
mitts when touching containers, oven parts,
and pan after broiling.
• 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.
• When you use a browning dish, the
browning dish bottom must be at least
¾6in (5 ram) above the turntable. Follow the
directions supplied with the browning dish.
• Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may
cause them to burst and possibly damage
the oven. Slice hard-boiled eggs before
heating. In rare cases, poached eggs have
been known to explode. Cover poached
eggs and allow a standing time of one
minute before cutting into them.
• For best results, stir any liquid several
times during heating or reheating.
Liquids heated in certain containers
(especially containers shaped like cylinders)
may become overheated. The liquid may
splash out with a loud noise during or after
heating or when adding ingredients (coffee
granules, tea bags, etc.).
• 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.
• Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable
cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep frying tempera-
tures.
• 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 stand for 5 minutes
to finish cooking.
• Do not operate the ULTIMA COOK TM oven
unless the glass turntable is securely in
place and can rotate freely. The turntable
can rotate in either direction. Make sure
the turntable is correct-side up in the oven.
Make sure support base is all the way on
the shaft in oven cavity floor. Handle your
turntable with care when removing itfrom
the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If
your turntable cracks or breaks, contact
your appliance dealer for a replacement.

Your oven is connected to a 240-volt circuit.

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of
a pound (for example, 4 ounces equals ¼ pound). However, in order to enter food weight in
CUSTOM DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. 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.

• 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).
• CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results
when food to be thawed is a minimum of
0°F (-18°C) or colder.
• 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.
• The shape of the package affects how
quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages
will defrost more quickly than a deep block.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the
pieces. Separated pieces defrost more
evenly.
• Use small pieces of aluminum foil to
shield parts of food such as chicken wings,
leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get
warm. Make sure the foil does not touch
the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
• For better results, a preset standing
time is included in the defrosting time. This
may make the defrosting time seem longer
than expected.
POPCORN lets you pop commercially
packaged microwave popcorn by touching
just one pad. Pop only one package at a

Amount of food
• If you increase or decrease the amount
of food you prepare, the time it takes to
cook that food will also change. For
example, if you double a recipe, add a
little more than half the original cooking
time. Check for aloneness and, if neces-
sary, add more time in small increments.
Starting temperature of food
* The lower the temperature of the food
being put into the ULTIMA COOK TM oven,
the longer it takes to cook. Food at room
temperature will be reheated more quickly
than food at refrigerated temperature.
36
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.
• 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.
......ooking Guides
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.
Covering food
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
• Several foods (for example: baked pota-
toes, 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, pierce these foods before cooking
with a fork, cocktail pick, or toothpick.
Using standing time
• Always allow food to stand for a while
after cooking. Standing time after defrost-
ing, cooking, or reheating always improves
the results since the temperature will then
be evenly distributed throughout the food.
• 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.
Arranging 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.
• 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
but ensure the foil does not touch the sides
of the oven.
• Do not let food or a container touch the
top or sides of the oven. This will prevent
possible arcing.
Using aluminum foil containers
Metal containers should not be used in an
ULTIMA COOK 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.
If you use aluminum containers without
package instructions, follow these guidelines:
• Place container in a glass bowl and add
some water so that it covers the bottom
of the container, not more than ¼ inch
(6 mm) 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 ¾ inch
(19 mm).
• Container must be at least half filled.
• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum
¼ inch (6 mm) between the aluminum
container and the walls of the oven and also
between two aluminum containers.
• Always place container on turntable.
• 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 depending upon the
type of container you use.
• Let food stand for 2 to 3 minutes after
heating so that heat is spread evenly
throughout container.
Cooking you should not do in your
ULTIMA COOK TM 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 ULTIMA COOK oven to
sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is
difficult to maintain the high temperature
required for safe sterilization.
