Features

CLEANRELEASE® Cavity Coating (on some models)

The durable, nonstick coating resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier. See “Microwave Oven Care” section.

6th SENSE® System

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

Convection Element and Fan

The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen.

Cooking Rack

Use the rectangular cooking rack 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 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.

Accessories

Convection Rack

Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some roast functions. Some roast functions require that the food be placed directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof dish or pan under the rack to catch the drippings.

Steamer Vessel

Use the steamer vessel base, insert and lid for steaming, or use just the base and lid for simmering.

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

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.
