Turntable Microwave Oven Cavity Coating The microwave oven has a durable, nonstick coating that resists soil buildup by making cleaning easier than in conventional microwave ovens. See "General Cleaning" section for cleaning instructions. Microwave System - OPTIMAWAVE™ Technology The microwave system featuring OPTIMAWAVE™ Technology delivers a constant stream of microwave power - true high, medium and low power - to provide consistent, even results. Typically, microwave ovens operate on HIGH power only. For example, to achieve a 50% power level ("medium") in a typical microwave oven, the microwave oven operates 50% of the time at HIGH power and 50% of the time OFF. Sensor Cooking The microwave system features sensor cooking functions. A humidity sensor in the microwave 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. Grill Element In contrast, microwave 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. AB A. Halogen bulb B. Quartz bulb The microwave 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 microwave oven cavity and door will become hot. The use of oven mitts is recommended. 5
