If the door is opened while the oven is operating, the display
still indicates that the unit is cooking, the fan still runs, the

it appears in all respects that the oven is still microwaving, except
that the turntable stops. Closing the door starts the turntable
again.

This sounds wrong to me, too. My KitchenAid mw/convection oven
completely shuts down when you open the door in any mode (mw,
convection, or combo)

Second, when the microwave finishes its cycle, it turns off, beeps,
and displays the message "End" on the panel -- just as it should.
However, opening the door and removing the food, then closing the door
does not reset the program -- the "End" message is still displayed and
the reminder tones sound every minute until you press the "Cancel"
button. The manual clearly indicates that simply opening and closing
the door should reset the program.

At end of cycle, opening the door on mine doesn't reset the program. It
will continue to beep (just as yours does) until you press Cancel. This
may be a documentation error.
