Bottom feeding technology
Please note that this product uses bottom feeding technology for microwave distribution which
differs from traditional turntable side feeding methods and creates more useable space for a
variety of different sized dishes.
This microwave feeding style can give a difference in heating times (in microwave mode) when
compared against side feeding appliances. This is quite normal and should not cause any
concern. Please refer to the reheating and cooking charts on pages 61-75.
