User Manual Built-In Convection Microwave Oven

PARTS AND FEATURES

This manual covers different models. The oven you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The locations and appearances of the features shown here may not match those of your model.

Turntable

NOTE: By touching the Turntable ON/OFF key, it is possible to switch the turntable ON and OFF during some microwave cycles. The turntable can be turned “On” or “Off” during the Manual Cook, Manual Reheat, Manual Defrost, Manual Steam Cook, and all Easy Convect cycles.

The turntable rotates in both directions to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having the turntable in place. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder any of the parts.

The raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom fit between the 3 spokes of the hub. The hub turns the turntable during microwave oven use. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.

Convection Rack

The convection rack provides optimal heat circulation for convection cooking.

■ The rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not store the rack in the microwave oven.

■ Two-level cooking is not recommended.

■ For best results, do not place popcorn bags on the rack.

■ The rack is designed specifically for this microwave oven. For best cooking results, do not attempt to use any other rack in this microwave oven.

■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

Crisper Pan and Handle

The crisper pan, with its nonstick surface and detachable handle, has been specifically designed for microwave use, and is ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven.

■ The crisper pan will become hot. Always use the handle and oven mitts or pot holders when handling. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle, and lift pan.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow the crisper pan or handle to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■ Do not place crisper pan on the convection grid. Always use the turntable as a support for the crisper pan.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use another metal object with the crisper pan.

■ To avoid damage, do not place hot crisper pan directly on heatsensitive surfaces.

■ The crisper pan is designed specifically for this microwave oven. Do not use it in any other oven.

■ Use only wooden or plastic cooking utensils to help avoid scratches.

■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

Baking Tray

■ Baking Tray can be used only with convection cooking.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use in combination with microwave cooking.

■ Baking Tray will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.

■ See “Positioning Baking Tray” section before using.

■ See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.

KITCHENAID™ Steamer Vessel

Use the KITCHENAID™ Steamer Vessel with the Steam Cook feature to steam foods.

■ The steamer vessel will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.

■ Steamer vessel is designed to be used only in the microwave oven. To avoid damaging steamer vessel, do not use in a convectional- or combination-type oven, with any other convection or crisp function, or on electric or gas burners.

■ Do not use plastic wrap or aluminum foil when covering the food.

■ Always place the steamer on the glass turntable. Check that the turntable turns freely before starting the microwave oven.

■ Do not remove lid while the bowl is inside the microwave oven, as the rush of steam will disrupt the sensor settings.

■ To avoid scratching, use plastic utensils.

■ Do not overfill with water. See steam chart in the “Steam Cooking” section for the amount of water recommended.

Lid: Always use the lid when steaming. Place directly over the insert and base or just the base.

Insert: Use when steam cooking to keep foods such as fish and vegetables out of the water. Place insert with food directly over the base. Do not use when simmering.

Base: For steam cooking, place water in base. For simmering foods such as rice, potatoes, pasta and vegetables, place food and water/liquid in base.

See “Assistance or Service” section to order replacements. See “General Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning.

BUILT-IN MICROWAVE OVEN USE

Cookware and Dinnerware

Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:

1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.

Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.

Aluminum Foil and Metal

Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.

Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.

OK for Use

Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■ Always use the turntable.

■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.

Do Not Use

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners such as sandwich wrappers, staples and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.

Positioning Baking Tray

Baking tray can only be used with convection cooking and broiling (on some models). To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use baking tray in combination with microwave cooking.

Place baking tray on slide rails as shown below. Push in tray to stop position. Check that the baking tray is level.

For best cooking results, use baking tray only in the recommended position.
