Microwave Oven Cavity Coating
The microwave oven has a durable, nonstick coating that resists
soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional
microwave ovens. See “General Cleaning” section for cleaning
instructions.
Microwave System – ACCUWAVE
®
Technology
The microwave system delivers a constant stream of microwave
power – true high, medium and low power.
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the microwave oven operates 50% of the time
at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF.
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.
Sensor Cooking
The microwave system features the 6th SENSE™ cooking
system. A humidity sensor in the microwave 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.
Grill Element
The microwave oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a
500-watt quartz bulb to serve as the grill element for various
cooking functions.
When the element is in use, the halogen bulb glows very brightly,
while the glow of the quartz bulb is barely–if at all–visible. (See
“Troubleshooting” for quartz bulb testing.) The microwave oven
cavity and door will become hot. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.
Turntable
The turntable can rotate in either direction to help cook food
more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without having
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 microwave 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.
Turning Off the Turntable
The turntable can be turned off for manual cooking cycles only.
This is helpful when cooking with plates that are larger than the
turntable, or when cooking with two plates that are side by side.
When the manual cycle is over, the turntable will automatically
default to the “ON” mode.
To Turn On/Off:
1. Touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF.
The display shows the Turntable On/Off screen.
2. Select “Off,” then touch “OK.”
The turntable off indicator will appear on the display.
Repeat to turn the turntable back on.
