ULTRA HEATWAVE
TECBNOLOSY _
The microwave system uses Ultra Heatwave Technology, which delivers a constant stream of microwave power- true high,
medium and low power.
Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level ("medium") in a typical
microwave oven, the oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFR
The turntable can rotate in either direction to help cook food
more evenly. Do not operate the oven without the turntable in place. To order any of the parts, call 1-800-4-MY-HOME e. See "Replacement Parts" for part numbers.
To Install:
1. Remove tape from the hub.
2. Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.
3. Place the turntable on the support. Fit the raised, curved lines in the center of the turntable
bottom between the 3 spokes of the hub. The rollers on the
support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
To Turn Turntable Off:
The turntable can be turned off (except during an auto function or Custom Grill). This is helpful when cooking with plates that are
larger than the turntable, or when cooking with two 10% in.
(26 cm) plates that are side-by-side.
1. Touch TURNTABLE ON/OFR "TURNTABLE OFF" will appear in the display. The turntable will
turn back on automatically when cooking is over or STOP/CLEAR
is touched.
In contrast, microwave ovens utilizing Ultra Heatwave Technology deliver the selected power level continuously. This constant stream of microwave power helps to minimize overcooking of foods and messy food spatters.
Additionally, the oven uses a 1,000-watt halogen bulb with a 500- watt quartz bulb together to serve as the grill element for various cooking functions. When this element is in use, it produces a
bright light in the oven cavity, and causes the cavity and door to
become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended.
Sensor Cooking
The microwave system with Ultra Heatwave Technology features sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the 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.
2 .................................
The rectangular cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It
provides extra cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at
the same time. Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of the oven. To reorder rack, call 1-800-4-MY-
HOME e. See "Replacement Parts" section for part number.
Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders
when handling.
Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling
or floor.
Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with
the rack.
Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the
oven.
Do not use Skillette pan on rack. Remove rack before using Grill function. Remove rack before using Popcorn function.
The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not use it in any other oven.
Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a microwave-safe container.
Use the rack only when cooking on 2 levels. Do not store it in the oven. Damage to the oven could result if someone accidentally turns on the oven.

OVEN USE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door. Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty. Heated liquids can splash out during and after heating. Use
of a wooden stir stick placed in the cup or bowl during
heating may help to avoid this.
The turntable must be in place and correct side up when oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.
Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME _ to reorder. See "Replacement
Parts" section for part numbers.
Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the oven.
Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the
oven.
Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate temperatures.
Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not absorb microwaves.
Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from oven.
Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat
and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a
light, porous food, such as cake.
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time and reduce spattering, Use the lid supplied with eookware. If a lid is
not available, wax paper, paper towels or plastic wrap approved for microwaves may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at 1 corner to provide an opening to vent steam.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center.
If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different sized foods, the thinner
parts and smaller sizes should be arranged toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs and sausage. Prick in several places to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tail. See "Aluminum Foil and Metal" first.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat even after the microwave cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.
