Microwave-Safe
Do Not Use
To Test Cookware/Dinnerware: Place dish in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it. Program 1 minute of cook time at 100%. If dish becomes hot and the water stays cool, do not use the dish in the microwave oven.
For a list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.

A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 1 minute. Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid or cover microwave-safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before sensor cooking.
At the end of any cycle, “PRESS 0 TO ADD MORE TIME” scrolls in the display. Enter the additional time, if desired, and start the microwave oven. The cook power for all non-sensor cycles will be the same as in the finished cycle but may be changed. If Add More Time is used after a sensor cycle, the cook power will be 100% but may be changed.
Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching COOK TIME/POWER repeatedly to scroll through “NORMAL,” “MORE DONE,” or “LESS DONE” within the first 20 seconds of starting the cook cycle. Doneness cannot be adjusted for Defrost functions.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle.
Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function.
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean.
Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge, or as indicated below.
