How do I use my KitchenAid microwave oven?

Simply choose Baked Goods in the EasyConvect menu and then enter your recipe’s standard temperature and bake time and let the Microwave Oven do the rest. The convection instructions call for you to preheat the baking tray in the oven, and for things like biscuits, this results in perfectly golden brown bottoms.

Turntable microwaves have a glass tray that sits on a plastic support ring, which rotates constantly during any cooking selection, including models with convection cooking. The glass tray should always be in place when microwaving. The turntable can turn in either direction when the microwave starts cooking.

While a microwave looks like an appliance that is difficult to take apart, it really isn’t. In fact, in terms of appliance repair, replacing the control panel and display on a microwave is actually one of the more simple repairs you can make.

If the display isn’t working at all, either the main control board or the display board could be at fault. If the display isn’t working at all, either the main control board or the display board could be at fault. If the display goes out partially, the display board is more commonly at fault.

“Door” or “Open/Close” Appearing in the Display 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 microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Microwaves can stop responding due to software glitches or unintended microwave settings. Press the cancel/reset button to do a soft reset on your microwave. If necessary, perform a hard reset by unplugging your microwave for 30 minutes, then plug it back in.

By touching the Turntable ON/OFF button/key, it is possible to switch the turntable ON and OFF during some microwave cycles. The turntable can be turned On or Off during the Manual Cook, Manual Reheat, Manual Defrost, Manual Steam Cook, and all Easy Convect cycles.
