Kosher Consumer-Friendly (KCF) Mode

For guidance on usage and a complete list of models with 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.

Using KCF mode is a two-step process. First, you need to "Enable" KCF mode. Second, you need to "Activate" KCF mode. Enabling KCF mode means that the microwave oven is ready to go into KCF mode in the future. Activating KCF mode means that the microwave oven is currently in KCF mode.

When the 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 keypad) 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 Capability (One Time Only):

  1. Press Clock/Options keypad.
  2. Press Right Arrow keypad 9 times until "KCF mode" is displayed on the screen.
  3. Press the Select keypad. The scrolling display will say "Press 1-OFF; Press 2-ON." A checkmark symbol will appear beside OFF indicating the current state of OFF (i.e., disabled).
  4. Press "2" to enable KCF mode.
  5. Press Select keypad to select the choice made above.
  6. The microwave oven is now KCF Enabled (i.e., it is ready for you to activate KCF mode later).

To Disable KCF Mode Capability:
To disable the KCF mode, repeat above steps (except choose 1 for off). Once disabled, you will not be able to activate KCF mode.

To Activate KCF Mode (Sabbath or Holidays):

  1. (Optional) Press the Light keypad once for High setting (or twice for Low setting) of cooktop light.
    warning NOTE: Choose this step only if you want cooktop light to be on during KCF mode.
  2. (Optional) Press the Fan keypad once for High speed setting. You may press this keypad repeatedly and choose a different speed. There are four available speeds (High, Med-High, Med, and Low). Choose the speed you want.
    warning NOTE: Choose this step only if you want ventilation fan to be on. Ventilation fan will automatically turn off after 4 hours.
  3. Open the microwave oven door and place food in microwave oven. Close the microwave oven door. You will see a set of menu buttons at the left side.
    warning NOTE: You can also press the Menu keypad to have the back-lit buttons light up. Press the Convect keypad, press the Right Arrow keypad two times until you see Manual Convect Bake, then press the Select keypad. Default temperature setting is 325 F. Enter a different temperature if desired. Press COOK TIME/POWER and enter cook time (e.g., 1:30 if you want 1 hour and 30 minutes).
  4. Press the Start keypad. Press the Start keypad again to start cook time count-down immediately without preheat.
    warning NOTE: If you press the Start keypad once, then the microwave oven will start countdown after it reaches preheat temperature.
  5. The microwave oven is now cooking with cooktop light and ventilation fan in chosen setting.
  6. Press and hold CLOCK/OPTIONS for 3 seconds. The microwave oven is now in active KCF mode and the display will show "KCF mode".
  7. 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 cooking cycle ends, there will be no beeps and the oven light will stay off when you open the door to remove the food.

warning NOTES:

  • Do not open the microwave oven door while the microwave oven is cooking as this will cancel the cooking cycle.
  • Do not use Kitchen Timer in KCF mode.
  • If a power failure happens while KCF mode is running, the microwave oven will show that KCF mode is on, but the cooking cycle will not be on.
  • While in KCF mode, neither time nor temperature can be adjusted.

To Deactivate KCF Mode:

Press and hold the Clock/Options keypad for 3 seconds until you see "KCF mode" disappear from the display.

warning NOTES:

  • If you press the Cancel keypad, this will cancel any cooking cycle. If you press the Cancel keypad again, this will de-activate KCF mode.
  • After KCF mode is deactivated, you must activate KCF mode by completing steps 1 through 6 under the "To Activate KCF mode" section.

warning NOTE: Use mobile app to enable or disable KCF mode only.

warning NOTE: If smart-phone is on, then notification will be displayed on your mobile device (if you opted in).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:


To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

  • Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
  • Read and follow the specific "PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY" found in this section.
  • The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS" found in this section and in the provided Installation Instructions.
  • Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
  • Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - are able to explode and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
  • Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
  • As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
  • Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
  • The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
  • Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
  • Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
  • Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
  • Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  • Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
  • See door surface cleaning instructions in the "Microwave Oven Care" section.
  • To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    • Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
    • Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
    • If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
    • Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.
  • Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

    To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
    • Do not overheat the liquid.
    • Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
    • Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
    • After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.
    • Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
  • Do not mount over a sink.
  • Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
  • Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
  • When flambéing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
  • Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking equipment.
  • Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width of 36" (91.44 cm).
  • Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may damage the filter.

Electrical Requirements


Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Required:

  • A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker

Recommended:

  • A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker
  • A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven

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.
