OVERVIEW

MICROWAVE OVEN FEATURES

Your microwave oven is designed to make your cooking
experience as enjoyable and productive as possible. To
get you up and running quickly, the following is a list of the
oven’s basic features:

A. Metal Shielded Window. 

The shield prevents

microwaves from escaping. It is designed as a screen
to allow you to view food as it cooks.

B. Model and Serial Number Plate

C. Charcoal Filter

(behind Vent Grille)

D. Cooking Guide Label

E. Vent Grille

F. Glass tray. 

The glass tray moves food as it cooks for

more even cooking. It must be in the oven during
operation for best cooking results.

G. Cooktop Light

H. Grease Filter.

See “Caring for the filters” section.

I. Control Panel.

Touch the pads on this panel to perform

all functions.

The turntable rotates in both direction to help food cook
more evenly. Do not operate the microwave oven without
the glass tray in place. 

To  Install:

1. 

Place the support on the oven cavity bottom.

2.

Place the glass tray on the support.

Fit the raised, hollowed groove of the glass tray bottom
between the rollers of the hub. The rollers on the
support should fit inside the glass tray bottom ridge.
