In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing this microwave system deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.

Additionally, the oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500- watt quartz bulb together to serve as the grill element for various cooking functions. When this element is in use, it produces a bright light in the oven cavity, and causes the cavity and door to become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended.

Sensor Cooking

The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the oven cavity detects moisture and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

The turntable can rotate in either direction to help cook food more evenly. Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder any of the parts.

To Install:

1.Remove tape from the hub.

2.Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.

3.Place the turntable on the support.

Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable bottom between the three spokes of the hub. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.

To Turn Off:

The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function). This is helpful when cooking with plates that are larger than the turntable or when cooking with two 10¼ in. (26 cm) plates that are side by side.

To Turn Off: Press TURNTABLE ON/OFF button.

“TURNTABLE OFF” will appear in the display. The turntable will turn back on automatically when cooking is over or when OFF/ CANCEL is pressed.

Cooking Rack

The rectangular cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time. Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of the oven. See “Assistance or Service” to order replacement parts.

■Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling.

■Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.

■Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with the rack.

■Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the oven.

■Do not use Browning Pan on rack.

■Remove rack before using Grill function.

■The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.

■Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a microwave-safe container.

■Use the rack only when cooking on 2 levels. Do not store it in the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone accidentally turns on the oven.

Browning Pan and Handle

The Browning Pan, with a nonstick surface and detachable handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven. The Browning Pan is also used as a drip pan for grilling.

Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.
