This is a user manual for the KitchenAid® Microwave Oven, model KMCS1016, with part number W11083573C. It provides detailed information on safety, installation, features, usage, care, troubleshooting, and warranty.
The KitchenAid Microwave Oven is designed for heating, cooking, and drying food using microwave energy. A magnetron produces microwaves that reflect off the metal interior and pass through the turntable and cookware to the food. Microwaves are absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules, causing them to move, producing friction and heat that cooks the food. The oven features preprogrammed menu items for quick and easy cooking/reheating, as well as manual cooking options with adjustable power levels and cook times. It also includes sensor cooking, which detects humidity released from food and adjusts cook time accordingly. The oven can be set to cook in stages, allowing for different cooking powers and lengths of time, including a defrosting stage.
The manual provides solutions for common issues such as:
For service, replacement parts, or assistance, customers in the U.S.A. can call 1-800-422-1230 or visit www.kitchenaid.com.

It also provides information on built-in kits (27" and 30" sizes) for integrating the microwave into cabinetry, with corresponding model numbers for different colors.
