Grill Element Convection Element and Fan A B C A B A. Halogen bulb B. Quartz bulb The 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 oven cavity and door will become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended. A. Protective screen B.
Sizzle Pan and Handle Steamer Vessel Use the steamer vessel with the Steam Cook feature to steam foods. See “Steam Cook” section. A The Sizzle Pan, with its nonstick surface and detachable handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the oven. The Sizzle Pan is also used as a drip pan for grilling. Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge of pan, squeeze handle and lift pan.
OVEN CONTROL The oven’s controls are accessed through its touch panel and interactive touch display. NOTE: Due to the sensitivity of the control panel, we have provided special instructions for cleaning the panel as well as the touch screen display.

The Learning Mode is ideal for learning how to use the oven. When set, functions can be entered, with real displays and tones, without actually turning on the microwave generator (magnetron), grill element or convection element.
Tones Vent Fan Tones are audible signals, indicating the following: One Tone ■ Valid entry (short tone) Two Tones ■ Between stages (short tones) ■ Hidden feature entered or exited (very short, quick tones) The vent fan has 4 speeds: low, medium, high and boost. To protect the oven, the vent fan will automatically turn on at high speed if the temperature from the range or cooktop below gets too hot. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the oven.
Food Characteristics When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results. Amount of Food Cookware and Dinnerware Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.
Aluminum Foil and Metal Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the oven. Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the oven. OK for Use Racks and bakeware supplied with the oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines: ■ Do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling or floor.
MANUAL COOKING To Use: Add 30 Seconds The ADD 30 SEC. control programs the oven for cooking at 100% power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional touch of the control. After the ADD 30 SEC. control is touched, the manual cooking programming screen appears. Time may be added in 30-second increments by touching ADD 30 SEC., or by minutes and seconds using the interactive touch screen display.
