How to Set Demo Mode for an Over the Range Microwave

Setting Demo Mode for an Over the KitchenAid Range Microwave

The Demo Mode (on some models) is ideal for learning how to use the KitchenAid microwave oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning on the magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the fan will run and, if on, the turntable will rotate.
