PARTS AND FEATURES

This manual may cover several different models. The model you 
have purchased may have some or all of the features shown here. 
The appearance of your particular model may differ slightly from 
the illustrations in this manual.

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.

MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROL

Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, a “:” will 
blink in the display. Touch CANCEL OFF to stop the blinking. 
If the “:” blinks in the display at any other time, a power failure 
has occurred. Touch CANCEL OFF and reset the clock if needed.

If an invalid value has been entered, the invalid entry tones will 
sound, and the input prompt will reappear in the display. Retry 
your entry.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking 
power, quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave 
oven is not in use (standby mode), the display shows the time of 
day or Timer countdown.

The speed of the scrolling text may be adjusted, if necessary.

To Adjust Scroll Speed:

1. Touch and hold CLOCK for 3 seconds until 2 tones sound.

2. Touch number pad “1” for SLOW, “2” for NORMAL or “3” for 

FAST.

3. Touch START to complete the adjustment.
