Features
CLEANRELEASE Cavity Coating (on some models)
The durable, nonstick coating resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier. See "Microwave Oven Care" section.
®
Convection Element and Fan (on some models)
The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen.
Cooking Rack (on some models)
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.
Grill Element (on some models)
Depending on your model, the grill element has either one 1, 000W halogen bulb and one 500W quartz bulb, or two 600W quartz bulbs. The halogen bulb glows very brightly, but the quartz bulb has a very faint glow that might not be visible.
Turntable
Turntable may be turned off (on some models) 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.
6th SENSETM System
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
ACCUWAVE® Technology (on some models)
This microwave system delivers a constant stream of the selected microwave power, whereas typical microwave systems deliver only intervals of 100% and 0% power.
Accessories
Steamer Vessel (on some models)
Use the steamer vessel base, insert and lid for steaming, or use just the base and lid for simmering.
Convection Rack (on some models)
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.
Grill Rack (on some models)
Use the tall grill rack for grilling. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. 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.
Sensor Cooking
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly. 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.
Add More Time
At the end of any cycle, "ADD MORE TIME 0:00" appears in the display. The cook power and/or temperature (on models with convection) 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.

General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool.

Clean with mild soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge, or as indicated below.
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.
