Features

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.

Glide Tray

The glide tray (rectangular “turntable”) glides from side to side, and

may be turned off (on some models) for manual cooking only. This is

helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the glide tray, or

when cooking with plates that are side by side. Glide tray cannot be

turned off during preset or sensor (on some models) functions.

Microwave Oven Use

For list of preset programs, see the Quick Reference Guide provided with your model.

Manual Cooking/Stage Cooking

Touch COOK TIME, touch number pads to enter time, touch

COOK POWER (if not 100%), touch number pads to enter power level

(10-90), then touch the Start control.

If programming additional stages (up to three), touch OPTIONS/

CLOCK to enter programming for the next stage, then enter the cook

time and cook power of each, then touch the Start control.

Sensor Cooking

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.

Doneness

Adjust doneness for automatic cooking functions by touching COOK

TIME 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.

Add More Time

At the end of any cycle using less than 100% cook power, “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.

Keep Warm

Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Keep

Warm function uses 10% cook power. Keep Warm can be used by

itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the

door during Keep Warm will cancel the function.

General Cleaning

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.

■ Grease filter: mild soap and water or dishwasher.

■ Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner applied

to paper towel.

■ Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water.

■ Stainless steel (on some models): mild soap and water, then rinse

with clean water and dry with soft cloth, or use stainless steel cleaner.

■ Glide tray: mild soap and water or dishwasher.

■ Rack(s): mild soap, water and washcloth. Dishwasher cleaning is

not recommended.

Installing/Replacing Filters and Light Bulbs

NOTE: A filter status indicator (on some models) appears in the display

when it is time to replace the charcoal filter, and clean or replace the

grease filters. See “Settings” section to reset filter status.

■ Grease filters: Grease filters are on the underside of microwave

oven. Clean monthly, or as prompted by filter status indicator.

Slide the filter away from the tab area, and drop out the filter. To

reinstall, place end of the filter into the opening opposite the tab

area, swing up the other end, and slide it toward the tab area.
