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.

Microwave Oven Cavity Coating

The microwave oven has a durable, nonstick coating that resists
soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional
microwave ovens. See “General Cleaning” section for cleaning
instructions.

Microwave System – OPTIMAWAVE™

Technology

The microwave system featuring OPTIMAWAVE™ Technology
delivers a constant stream of microwave power – true high,
medium and low power – to provide consistent, even results.

Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For
example, to achieve a 50% power level (“medium”) in a typical
microwave oven, the microwave oven operates 50% of the time
at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF.

In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing this microwave system
deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant
stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of
foods and messy food spatters.

Sensor Cooking

The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A
humidity sensor in the microwave oven cavity detects moisture
and humidity emitted from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts
cooking times to various types and amounts of food. Sensor
cooking takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

Grill Element

The microwave oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500-
watt quartz bulb to serve as the grill element for various cooking
functions.

When the element is in use, the halogen bulb glows very brightly,
while the glow of the quartz bulb is barely–if at all–visible. (See
“Troubleshooting” for quartz bulb testing.) The microwave oven
cavity and door will become hot. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.
