HOW TO USE T~ DO~LE DUW SHELF
Use the shelf only when cooking food on 2
levels. Food microwaves best when placed
directly on the oven floor.
Do not store or cook with metal shelf on floor
of oven. Product damage may result.
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added
capacity heating and reheating in your microwave
oven. Now more than one food may be heated or
reheated and ready to serve at the same time.
Positioning the Shelf
To position the DOUBLE
slightly and fit the shelf
support guides onto the
support guides located on
each side of the oven in
the rear.
Next, lower the front until
the shelf support guides fit
onto the support guides
located at each side of the
oven in the front.
How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods Together
When heating several different types of food together,
foods which should be served hot must be placed on
should be placed on the oven floor. This is because
microwave energy enters the oven from the top only.
Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb
microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be
affected by the size of the food, and its starting
temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start
reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems
undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,
let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10).
To determine heating times, add times for dl foods
together. (See Heating or Reheating Guide.) After
half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse
positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven
floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which
are done. Continue cooking others.
Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and
cookware. They may be hot.
Do not store microwave browning dish on metal
shelf.
Use of DOUBLE DUTYTM shelf with Popcorn
program is not recommended.
Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods
which need to be prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf.
When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly
in place, be level and not touch the back or side wall of
the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more
than one food at the same time, turn the oven off.
Make sure the shelf is positioned right-side-upon
To prevent arcing, remove the shelf wh~n you are
not using it.
Place on shelf large
or dense foods, which
need the most heating,
such as leftover fried
chicken, casseroles of
canned or leftover
vegetables, rice or
pasta. Place on the
oven shelf those foods which need only be warmed,
such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.
Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop
properly. Use a special microwave popcorn
accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled
for use in microwave ovens.
