SETTING UP ALEXA ON YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be controlled with Alexa using any Alexa-enabled device such as Echo or Echo Dot. To
control your microwave oven using Alexa, you’ll need to set up your microwave and connect to Alexa using one of
the below pairing methods.

previously set up another Echo family device or a Works with Alexa device.
The microwave must have been ordered from the same Amazon account and while ordering you must have
opted to link the device upon purchase. If microwave was purchased/received as a gift, or user de-selected this
option upon purchase, the microwave will not be linked to end user's Amazon/Alexa account and ZTS will not
be enabled. Please go to pairing method #2 or #3.
