Features

Cooking Rack (on some models)

Use only for 2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave 
oven, always remove rack after 2-level cooking. To avoid damage 
to the microwave oven due to soil buildup, clean rack supports 
often.

Turntable

Turntable may be turned off (on some models) for manual cooking 
only. This is helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than 
the turntable, or when cooking with plates that are side by side. 
Turntable cannot be turned off during preset or sensor (on some 
models) functions.

Easy Minute Feature (on some models)

Easy Minute feature pads (“1” through “5”) will start the microwave 
oven at 100% power for the selected number of minutes.

Progress Bar (on some models)

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time of 
sensor functions.

6th SENSE™ System (on some models)

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from 
food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.

ACCUWAVE

®

 Technology (on some models)

This microwave system delivers a constant stream of the selected 
microwave power, whereas typical microwave systems deliver only 
intervals of 100% and 0% power

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.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE  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.

WARNING:

 

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.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
