shelf on floor of oven. Product
damage may result.
Use potholders when handling
metal shelf and utensils. They
may be hot.

The wire shelf is specifically
designed for added capacity heating
and reheating in your microwave
oven. More than one food may be
heated or reheated and ready to
serve at the same time.
When microwaving with the oven
shelf, some techniques will differ
from the cookbook which came
with your oven. It is important to
arrange foods properly, and this is
shown on the next page. Cookware
size is important; select from among
the suggestions at right. Also, food
size should be considered; foods
over4 inches high, or 3 pounds
are not recommended for shelf
cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also
uncooked foods which need to be
prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf,
following cookbook directions.
Use pot holders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amoun~s of food. Extra stea&
generated ftom multiple food cooking
may make cookware hotter than
with regular microwaving.
