Using the Rack
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at
one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use
Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR MODES or
AUTO MODES without the rack. When the rack is used, set
time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around
and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking
and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them
from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during
any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if
possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking
and reheating uniformity.
Avoid:
•
Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use.
•
Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.
•
Using any browning dish on the rack.
• Using SENSOR MODES and AUTO MODES with the
rack.
•
Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe cook-
ware.
NOTE: Turntable ON/OFF function can be used in Manual
Operation. See page 24.
