Using the rack

The rack allows several foods to be cooked or
reheated at one time. There are two available rack
positions. Select the rack position that maximizes
space around and between the foods. Follow
directions in Reheat for using the rack for reheating
two stirrable casseroles. Otherwise set time and
power level manually. Pay close attention to the
cooking/reheating progress. Reposition the foods
and reverse them from rack to oven bottom at least
once during any cooking or reheating time. Using
a lower power level will assist in better cooking/
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 special features, except Reheat with the
rack.
• Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-
safe cookware.
