Turntable On/Off
For best performance, the turntable should be on during
microwave cooking.
If using oversized cookware that does not turn freely on the
microwave turntable, turn the turntable OFF. To turn off the
turntable, touch TURNTABLE. When cooking with the turntable
OFF, food should be turned halfway through the cooking process.
NOTE: The turntable cannot be turned off during any auto cooking
cycle.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always
use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish
may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not
use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
