KitchenAid 1000-Watt Convection Microwave with High-Speed Cooking - 30" Use & Care Manual

Calibration

The actual convection cooking temperature may be calibrated higher 
or lower than the displayed temperature. For example, if you want the 
microwave oven to be a bit hotter, you may try setting the calibration 
to +10°. Touch SETUP/CLOCK to reach the Calibration submenu. Use 
number pads to select temperature variations in degrees Fahrenheit: 
1= ±0° (reset to default), 2= +5° (+2.8°C), 3= +10° (+5.6°C), 4= +15° 
(+8.3°C), 5= +20° (+11.1°C), 6= -5° (-2.8°C), 7= -10° (-5.6°C), 8= -15° 
(-8.3°C) and 9= -20° (-11.1°C).

Demo Mode

Activate to practice using the control without actually turning on the 
magnetron. Touch SETUP/CLOCK to reach the Demo Mode submenu, 
and follow the prompts to activate. The DEMO icon will light up in the 
display. Repeat to deactivate.

Features

Turntable

Turntable may be turned off (on some models) for manual cooking 
only. This is helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the 
turntable, or when cooking with plates that are side by side. Turntable 
cannot be turned off during preset or sensor (on some models) 
functions.

Cooking Rack

Use the rectangular cooking rack only for 2-level cooking. To avoid 
damage to the microwave oven, always remove rack after 2-level 
cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven due to soil buildup, 
clean rack supports often.

Convection Element and Fan

The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the 
microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen.

Accessories

Convection Rack 

Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or 
roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some roast 
functions. Some roast functions require that the food be placed 
directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof dish or pan 
under the rack to catch the drippings.

Steamer Vessel

Use the steamer vessel base, insert and lid for steaming, or use just 
the base and lid for simmering.
