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 cavity 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.):
   1. Touch the Tools keypad.
   2. 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."
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 cavity light and ventilation fan in chosen setting. The display will show the cook time counting down.
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).

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 recommended cook 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.

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

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.

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.
  
  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.
  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.
