Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the microwave oven.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.
