icrowave Oven Safety

Electrical requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused

electrical supply is required. (A time-delay

fuse is recommended.) It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this

appliance be provided.

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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 equipment

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 serviceman if

the grounding instructions are not completely

understood, or if doubt exists as to whether

the microwave oven is properly grounded.

etting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

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.

wWARNING

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the

microwave oven.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

How your microwave oven works

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.

A magnetron in the microwave oven

produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the oven where they contact

food as it turns on the turntable.

Oven cavity

Magnetron

Your microwave oven has the

KITCHENAID* patented Double Emission

System, which releases microwaves from

two locations (one above food and one at

bottom of food). Because the microwaves

enter the oven at two different times, a third

wave of microwaves is created. This gives

you uniform cooking.

Metal floor

Glass turntable

The glass turntable of your microwave

oven lets microwaves pass through. Then

they bounce off a metal floor, back through

the glass turntable, and are absorbed by

the food.

continued on next page

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

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.

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.

The Crisper Pan reaches 436°F (210°C)

HEATING UP AT 750W

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 tempera-

ture for frying.

MINUTES

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.

Although your CRISPWARE microwave

oven cooks this way also, the Double

Emission System allows microwaves to

reach the center of the food more easily.

This results in faster cooking.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven.

Microwavable cookware is not suitable

and it is difficult to maintain appropriate

deep frying temperatures.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

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 pad while the

oven is operating or after the cooking

cycle is over (see the “Using EASY

MINUTE” section).

• 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.

• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food

being cooked about halfway through the

cooking time for all recipes. This will help

you make sure food is cooked evenly.

NOTE: Some cycles may have to be reset

if you have interrupted the cycle.

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:

• Moving the receiver away from the

microwave oven.

• Wiring the microwave oven into a different

circuit so that the microwave oven and

receiver are on different branch circuits.

• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces

of the oven.

• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the

radio or television.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold

water in a glass container in

the oven. Close the door.

Make sure it latches. Follow

the directions in the “Cooking

at high cook power” section to

set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When

the time is up, the water should be heated.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

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 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,

becoming too hot to handle and slowing

cooking times. Cooking in metal containers

not designed for microwave use could dam-

age the oven, as could containers with hidden

metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic

glaze or trim).

Operating safety precautions

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 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 before 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.). This can harm the oven and

possibly injure someone.

Stir before heating

Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open. Injury

could result.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

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 to prevent burns.

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 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 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.

Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

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 operate the microwave 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. Carefully place the cookware on

your turntable to avoid possibly breaking it.

Make sure support base is all the way

on the shaft in oven cavity floor. Make sure

support rollers are completely inside center

circle of turntable for proper rotation.

Handle your turntable with care when

removing it from the oven to avoid possibly

breaking it. If your turntable cracks or

breaks, contact your appliance dealer for

a replacement.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet voltage

is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be

longer. Have a qualified electrician check

your electrical system.

Cooking at different cook powers

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 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.

Defrosting 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).

• 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. (For more information on

standing time, see “Cooking tips” in the

“Cooking Guide” section.)

• CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results

when food to be thawed is a minimum of

0°F 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.

Popping popcorn

POPCORN lets you pop commercially

packaged microwave popcorn by touching

just one pad. Pop only one package at a

time. If you are using a microwave popcorn

popper, follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Try several brands to decide which gives

best popping results. For best results, use

fresh bags of popcorn. Cooking performance

may vary with brand and fat content.

wWARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not repop unpopped kernels.

Do not reuse popcorn bags.

NOTE: If you want to add more time during

or after popping use EASY MINUTE. See

“Using EASY MINUTE” in the “Getting to

Know Your Microwave Oven” section for

more information.

Doing so can result in death, fire,

or burns.

ooking with CRISP and BROIL

This section gives you step-by-step instructions for operating the Crisp and

Broil functions.

To get the best cooking results

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Use oven mitt when removing broiling grid and CRISPWARE*

Crisper Pan.

Use Crisper Pan handle when removing Crisper Pan.

Do not touch the top of the microwave oven when broiling.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

• The CRISPWARE Crisper Pan is specially

designed for crisping and browning food.

It can be preheated for 2 to 3 minutes

before use.

• Brush Crisper Pan with ¹⁄2 tsp of oil or

spray with nonstick cooking spray before

heating. This will make it easier to remove

food from the pan and clean the pan

after use.

• Use the broiling grid with or without the

Crisper Pan. When cooking with the broil

element, the Crisper Pan will catch drip-

pings from the food.

• Use the broiling grid to place food closer

to the broil element for faster cooking. See

“Utensils” in the “Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven” section for more

information.

• If you want to add more time during

cooking use EASY MINUTE. See “Using

EASY MINUTE” in the “Getting to Know

Your Microwave Oven” section for more

information.

Using CRISP

Use CRISP to cook and brown food in the

Crisper Pan. For example, use CRISP for

sautéing meats and vegetables, for pan

frying bacon and eggs, and for crisping and

browning pizza and cheese sandwiches.

When using CRISP, microwaves heat the

Crisper Pan to brown and crisp the bottom

of food while the broil element cooks and

browns food from the top.

Using BROIL

Broil lets you cook and brown small amounts

of food (from 1 to 4 pieces). The broil

element is located in the microwave oven

ceiling near the door.

For best results when broiling:

• Place grid securely on turntable with food

positioned in the front area close to the

door and directly under the broil element.

• For even browning, turn food over

halfway through cooking.

• Remove turntable coupling located in the

center of the oven bottom under the glass

turntable. See the “Caring for Your Micro-

wave Oven” section for more information.

• Replace the glass turntable.

• Do not leave the oven door open for long

periods of time when using the broil

element. This could affect cooking

performance.

• Preheat the broil element for 2 to 3

minutes.

aring for Your Microwave

Oven

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.

NOTES:

• Your CRISPWAVE* microwave oven

has a stainless steel interior. Unlike

painted steel interiors found in most other

microwave ovens, the surface will not chip,

rust, or corrode. Over time, stains can occur

on the stainless steel surface as the result

of food particles splattering during cooking.

This is normal.

• Do not use metal scouring pads on inside

of oven cavity. They will scratch the surface.

For interior surfaces: Wash often with

warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft

cloth. Use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or

a mild detergent. Be sure to keep the

areas clean where the door and oven

frame touch when closed. Wipe well with

clean water.

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.

For exterior surfaces and control panel:

Use a soft cloth with spray glass cleaner.

Apply the spray glass cleaner to the soft

cloth; do not spray directly on the oven.

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.

Caring for Your Microwave Oven

For stainless-steel surfaces:

• Do not use steel wool or soap-filled

scouring pads.

• Rub in the direction of the grain line to

avoid marring the surface.

• If commercial cleaners are used, follow

label directions. If product contains chlorine

(bleach), wipe thoroughly with clean water

and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Chlorine

is a corrosive substance.

• Always wipe dry to avoid water marks.

Cooking Guide

Cooking tips

Amount of food

Covering food

Cover food to:

• Reduce splattering

• Shorten cooking times

• Retain food moisture

• 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

doneness and, if necessary, add more

time in small increments.

All coverings that allow microwaves to pass

through are suitable.

Releasing pressure in foods

Starting temperature of food

• 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.

• 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.

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.

NOTE: Food cooked in the CRISPWARE*

Crisper Pan will not burst and does not need

to be pricked.

Using standing time

• 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.

• 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.

Size and shape

• 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. How-

ever, with larger, denser food, the standing

time may be as long as 10 minutes.

• 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.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Cooking Guide

If you use aluminum containers without pack-

age instructions, follow these guidelines:

• Do not place container on the wire Broiling

Grid. Sparking may occur.

• 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.

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.

• Choose a tall, narrow container rather

than a low and wide container. When

reheating gravy, sauce, or soup, do not fill

the container more than ²⁄3.

• 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.

• 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.

• To avoid arcing, there must be a minimum

¹⁄4 inch 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 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.

• Do not let food or container touch the top

or sides of the oven. This will prevent

possible arcing.

Using aluminum foil

Metal containers 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.

NOTE: Because of the unique design of the

aluminum CRISPWARE* Crisper Pan and the

Double Emission System, the Crisper

Pan is safe to use in your microwave oven.

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 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.

uestions and Answers

ANSWERS

QUESTIONS

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you

will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your

oven must fit on the turntable.

Can I operate my microwave oven

without the turntable or turn the

turntable over to accommodate a

large dish?

You can use a grid only if grid is supplied with

your microwave oven. Use of any grid not sup-

plied with the microwave oven can result in poor

cooking performance and/or arcing.

Can I use a grid in my microwave

oven so that I may reheat or cook

on two levels at a time?

Can I use either metal or aluminum

pans for microwave cooking?

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

(19 mm) deep and half filled with food to

absorb microwave energy). When broiling or

using CRISP, use the specially designed

CRISPWARE* Crisper Pan that comes with your

oven. Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

(For more information, see “Cooking tips” in the

“Cooking Guide” section.)

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-

clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor

when the cooking cycle begins.

Is it normal for the turntable to turn

in either direction?

This appearance is normal and does not affect

the operation of your oven.

Sometimes the door of my micro-

wave 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?

As food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to

the dish. Also, when broiling remember that the

Crisper Pan is made of a special material that

absorbs microwave energy, making the pan very

hot for browning. To avoid burns, use hot pads or

the Crisper Pan handle to remove food after

cooking and broiling.

Why does the dish become hot

when I microwave food in it? I

thought that this should not happen.

“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.

QUESTIONS

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 when 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 utensils.

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave

oven? How do I get the best results?

How does my CRISPWARE* Crisper

Pan aid browning and crisping?

The bottom of your Crisper Pan is coated with

a special material that absorbs the magnetic part

of the microwave energy. This material becomes

very hot and transfers heat to the bottom of the

Crisper Pan for higher temperature cooking.

Sometimes I notice sparking when

broiling. What causes this?

Sparking is caused by the burning off of fat from

past cooking. It will stop when fat is all burned

off of the oven.
