display with a check mark next to it. Use number keypads to
select temperature variations in degrees Fahrenheit: 1 = ±0°
(reset to default), 2 = +5° (+2.8°C), 3 = +10° (+5.6°C), 4 = +15°
(+8.3°C), 5 = +20° (+11.1°C), 6 = -5° (-2.8°C), 7 = -10° (-5.6°C), -8
= -15° (-8.3°C) and 9 = -20° (-11.1°C).
Features
Cooking Rack
Use the rectangular cooking rack only for 2-level cooking. To
avoid damage to the microwave oven, always remove rack after
2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven due to
soil buildup, clean rack supports often.
Accessories
Convection Rack
Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or
roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some
roast functions. Some roast functions require that the food be
placed directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof
dish or pan under the rack to catch the drippings.
