More Modes

Kosher Consumer-Friendly (KCF) Mode

For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with Kosher Consumer- Friendly (KCF) Mode, visit www.star-k.org. The KCF mode for this microwave oven is similar to the Sabbath Mode available on other appliances such as ovens, but with several important differences. KCF mode can be considered as a less-featured version of Sabbath mode. For example, in KCF mode, if the microwave oven is in cooking mode, then you should not open the microwave oven door as this will turn off the heating source.
When KCF mode is activated, opening the microwave oven door will not turn on the microwave oven cavity light. All keypad presses will be ignored (except the Cancel and Power/Cancel keypads) and the display will remain static. When the microwave oven door is opened or closed, the microwave oven light will not turn on or off, but the heating elements will turn off immediately.
You should wait until the cooking cycle is finished in KCF mode to open the door.

To Enable KCF Mode (Sabbath or Holidays):

1. If you want the hood light to stay on, press the Light keypad once for High setting or twice for Low setting.

2. If you want ventilation fan to be on (the ventilation fan will automatically turn off after 4 hours.):
   a. Touch the Tools keypad.
   b. Press the Hood Fan keypad once for the Maximum speed setting. You may press this keypad repeatedly and choose a different speed. There are five available speeds: Maximum, High, Medium, Medium-Low, and Low. Choose the desired speed.

3. Open the microwave oven door and place your food in microwave oven. Close the microwave oven door.

4. Touch the Tools keypad, scroll down until you see “More Modes”.

5. Touch MORE MODES.

6. Touch KOSHER CONSUMER-FRIENDLY.

7. Touch KCF MODE.

8. The display will ask, “Would you like to set a Convect Bake cycle?” Press YES.

9. The display will show “Add A Cook Time” near bottom of display. Press in the area of “Add A Cook Time.”
   NOTE: If you do not set cook time, the default cook time is 4 hours.

10. Press the number keypads to set the length of time in HH:MM:SS. For example, enter 02:30:45 for a cook time of 2 hours, 30 minutes, and 45 seconds.

11. Press NEXT.

12. Scroll to select the Convect Bake temperature. 325°F (163°C) is the default temperature.

13. Touch START

The microwave oven is now cooking with hood light and ventilation fan in chosen setting. The display will show the cook time counting down. The cavity light will remain on until cook time ends.
While the microwave oven is cooking in KCF mode, do not open the microwave oven door, as this will shut off heat source immediately. When the cooking cycle ends, there will be no beeps and the oven light will stay off when you open the door to remove your food.
NOTES:

• Do not open the microwave oven door while the microwave oven is cooking as this will cancel the cooking cycle.
• Do not use the Kitchen Timer in KCF mode.
• After a return from a power failure, the microwave oven will be in KCF mode, but the cooking cycle will not be on. The unit will be in KCF mode so you can open the oven door without turning on the oven light.
• If you press the Cancel or Power/Cancel keypads during cooking, this will cancel any cooking cycle. This is a safety requirement.
• Temperature change is not available in KCF mode.

To Disable KCF Mode:

Once cooking ends, the display will say, “Press and hold anywhere on the screen for 3 seconds to disable Kosher Consumer-Friendly mode.” Follow this direction: Press and hold the screen for 3 seconds and display should revert to clock.
_ NOTE: Smartphone should be turned off before Sabbath/Holidays, _because notifications will be displayed on your mobile device (if you opted in).

Temperature Calibration

IMPORTANT: Do not use a thermometer to measure the oven temperature. Elements will cycle on and off as needed to maintain a consistent temperature but may run slightly hot or cool at any point in time due to this cycling. Opening the oven door will affect cycling of the elements and impact the temperature.
The oven provides accurate temperatures and has been thoroughly tested at the factory. However, it may cook faster or slower than your previous oven, causing baking or browning differences. If necessary, the temperature calibration can be adjusted in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount. The absence of a minus sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed amount.
NOTE: The oven display will continue to show the original set temperature and will not reflect the calibration offset. For example, if set to 350° (177°C) and calibrated to -20, the display will continue to show 350° (177°C).

To Adjust Oven Temperature Calibration:

1. Press the Tools keypad.
2. Select MORE MODES.
3. Select TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION.
4. Press NEXT to apply an offset to the operating temperature.
5. Scroll from left to right to increase or decrease thetemperature.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat, which cooks the food.

• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
• The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See the “Accessories” section to reorder.
• Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.
• Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven.
• Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
• Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.
• Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommendedcook time,  potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
• Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When the microwave oven is cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food

The more food that is heated at once, the longer the cook time that is needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time, if necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Cooking Guidelines

Covering

Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.

Stirring and Turning

Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.

Arranging

If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.

Piercing

Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.

Shielding

Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.

Standing Time

Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.

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.

Material: Recommendations

Aluminum Foil, Metal: See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.
Browning Dish: Bottom must be at least 3/16″ (5 mm) above the turntable. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Ceramic Glass, Glass: Acceptable for use.
China, Earthenware: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Melamine: Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Paper: Towels, Dinnerware, Napkins: Use non-recycled and those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Plastic: Wraps, Bags, Covers, Dinnerware, Containers: Use those approved by the manufacturer for microwave oven use.
Pottery and Clay Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Silicone Bakeware Follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
Straw, Wicker, Wooden Containers: Do not use in microwave oven.
Styrofoam®†: Do not use in microwave oven.
Wax Paper: Acceptable for use.

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.
Metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake) cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for all other convection and combination.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name, or number. For example, 70%=Medium-High=7. Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.
MICROWAVE COOKING POWER CHART

Percent/ Name: Number: Use

100%, High (default setting): 10: Quick-heating convenience foods and foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages, and most vegetables.
90%: 9: Cooking small, tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish fillets. Heating cream soups.
80%: 8: Heating rice, pasta, or casseroles. Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high, for example, whole fish and meat loaf.
70%, MediumHigh: 7: Reheating a single serving of food.
60%: 6: Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards. Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna.
50%, Medium: 5: Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts. Simmering stews.
40%: 4: Melting chocolate. Heating bread, rolls, and pastries.
30%, MediumLow, Defrost: 3: Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods.
20%: 2: Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream.
10%, Low : 1: Taking chill out of fruit.

Doneness

Doneness is a function used for adjusting the cook time. This feature can be used on Assisted Cooking functions except for Defrost.

Sensor Cook

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.Use microwave-safe dish with loose- fitting lid or cover microwavesafe dish with plastic wrap and vent.
For best cooking performance:
Before using a Sensor Cook function, make sure power has been supplied to the microwave oven for at least 2 minutes, the room temperature is not above 95°F (35°C), and the outside of the cooking container and the microwave oven cavity are dry. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking before sensor cooking.

Convect

Convection cooking uses the convection element and the fan.
Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

• The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single rack.
• Metal cookware and bakeware may be used on Convect Bake cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave-safe cookware for Convection Roast cycles.
• Always use the convection rack placed on the turntable.
• Always use the turntable on option when convection cooking with the convection rack (default setting).
• Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil.
• Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products.
• Use convection cooking for items such as breads, cookies, cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.

See the “Round Convection Rack” section.

If you experience: Recommended Solutions

Microwave oven will not operate:
Check the following:

• Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
• Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
• Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwaveoven. Open and close the door, then start the  cycle.
• Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.

To Deactivate Demo Mode:

1. Touch the Clock screen. The Sales Demo Mode main screen is displayed.
2. Select TRY THE PRODUCT.
3. Scroll and select EXPLORE.
4. Select the Tools keypad.
5. Scroll and select INFO.
6. Select STORE DEMO MODE and TURN OFF.
7. On the confirmation screen, select YES.

Arcing in the microwave oven: Check the following:

• Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.

Turntable alternates rotation directions:

• This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.

Display shows messages:

• “Enter clock” with flashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
• A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.

Fan running during cooktop usage:

• This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may  also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Radio, TV, or cordless phone interference: Check the following:

• Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
• Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
• Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
