KitchenAid KHMC1857BBL User Manual

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.

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.

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

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.

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