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.
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 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)
The grill element has a 1,000-watt halogen bulb and a 500-watt
quartz bulb. The halogen bulb glows very brightly, but the quartz
bulb has a very faint glow that might not be visible.

Electrical Requirements

■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING:
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

6th SENSE™ System
A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from
food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly.
ACCUWAVE
This microwave system delivers a constant stream of the selected
microwave power, whereas typical microwave systems deliver only
intervals of 100% and 0% power
