All safety messages will identify the hazard, 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 at the end of
this section.
•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 in-
tended 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.
•The microwave oven should be serviced
only by qualified service personnel. Call
an authorized KitchenAid service company
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
•Do not cover or block any openings on
the microwave oven.
•Do not store the microwave oven outdoors.
Do not use the microwave oven near
water – for example, near a kitchen sink,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, and the like.

5
Microwave Oven Safety
•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.
•See door surface cleaning instructions in
the “Caring for Your Microwave Oven”
section.
For microwave ovens with a ventilating
hood:
•Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently –
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on hood or filter.
•When flaming foods under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating,
may spread the flame.
•Use care when cleaning the vent-hood
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such
as lye-based oven cleaners, may
damage the filter.
•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 bag
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 pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
– Do not mount over a sink.
– Do not store anything directly on top
of the microwave oven when the micro-
wave oven is in operation.
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
(c) 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.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly
qualified service personnel.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY...
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven
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.

6
Microwave Oven Safety
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
wWARNING
Explosion Hazard
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the
microwave oven.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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.
G
etting to Know Your
Microwave Oven

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)
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.
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
•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.
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).
•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:
•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.
•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.

10
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.
Never lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open. Injury
could result.
Stir before heating

11
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.

12
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.

Your microwave 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. See pages 7, 12,
47, and 52 for more details.

(under turntable).
5. Cook Guide Label.
6. Light. Automatically turns on when door
is opened or when oven is operating.
7. Quartz Broil Element (hidden in ceiling).
This element is used for the 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. See pages 40 to 42 for more
information.
8. Microwave Oven Control Panel.
Touch pads on this panel to perform all
functions. See pages 14 to 15 for more
information.
9. Door Safety Lock System. The oven
will not operate unless the door is

Utensils
Your microwave oven comes with two useful cooking utensils. Please review this chart to
become familiar with their use.
HOW TO USE IT
UTENSIL
Use for faster browning of small amounts of food.
Place the broiling grid securely on the turntable.
Using the broiling grid will put food close to the
broil element.
Use to give foods such as pizza and pies a nice
crisp, brown bottom surface. Do not place any
other utensils on the Crisper Pan since the pan
quickly becomes very hot and can cause damage
to the utensil. Always use the turntable as support
for the Crisper Pan.
The Crisper Pan is designed specifically for use
with the patented Double Emission System in this
oven. Do not use Crisper Pan in any other
microwave oven or in a thermal oven.
The Crisper Pan is dishwasher safe.
