Two or More Plates
Two plates may be heated side by side, or 1 dish larger than the
turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack. For best results,
halfway through heating, turn the plates (or larger dish) halfway
around, and switch plates between top and bottom (if heating
more than 2 plates). See "Cooking Rack" section.
The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or
1 larger dish. See "Turntable"
section.
To Reheat Manually:
Follow instructions
in "Manual Cooking"
section, and use 70% cooking power. See "Microwave

The automatic Defrost control can be used or the microwave
oven can be manually set to defrost.
Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal
results.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See "Aluminum
Foil
and Metal" first.
