In contrast, 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. 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 three spokes of the hub. The rollers on the support should fit inside the turntable bottom ridge.
Sizzle Pan and Handle Grill Rack The Sizzle Pan, with a nonstick surface and a 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. See “Assistance or Service” to order replacement parts. The circular grill rack is designed for grilling in the oven.

STEAMER VESSEL GREASE FILTERS Do not use ammonia or corrosive cleaning agents such as lyebased oven cleaners.
Replacing Filters The grease filters should be removed and cleaned at least once a month. Do not operate the oven without the filters in place. The charcoal filter cannot be washed and should be replaced every 6 to 12 months. See “Assistance or Service” to reorder filters. See “General Cleaning” for cleaning instructions. To Remove: 1. Remove each of the grease filters by pushing the back of the filter up, grasping the tab, and sliding the filter to the back. Pull tab down until the filter drops out.
TROUBLESHOOTING Try the solutions suggested here first in order to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call. Nothing will operate ■ Has a household fuse blown or has the circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit. ■ Is the appliance wired properly? See Installation Instructions provided with your oven. Oven will not operate Turntable rotates both directions ■ This is normal and depends on motor rotation at beginning of cycle.
Quartz bulb does not appear to be on ■ This is not unusual. See “Grill Element” section. ■ Is the element still working properly? Place 2 slices of bread on the circular grill rack, place the rack on the turntable and close the door. Program the oven using manual or custom grill – without microwaves – for 4 minutes (see “Grill” section). The bread should toast dark brown. If the bread does not toast, call for service.
