HOW TO USE THE DOUBLE DUTY
TM
SHELF
Your shelf accessory is designed for use in the
microwave oven only; do no use it in the lower oven.
Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing
could occur.
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added
heating and reheating capacity. More than one food
may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the
same time.
When microwaving with the oven shelf, it is
important to arrange foods properly, and this is shown
on the next page. Cookware size is important; select
from among the suggestions below. Also, food size
should be considered; foods over 4 inches high, or 3
1
⁄
2
pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.
Do not use the oven shelf to cook batters and
dough foods and also uncooked foods which need
to be prepared from scratch.
Use pot holders when handling foods heated
together with your oven shelf, especially when
heating larger amounts of food. The extra steam
generated from cooking multiple foods may make
containers hotter than with regular microwaving.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.
Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop
properly. Use a special microwave popcorn accessory
or popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
• Use the shelf only when cooking food on
two levels. Food microwaves best when placed
directly on the oven floor.
• Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven.
Product damage may result.
• Use pot holders when handling metal shelf and
containers. They may be hot.
• Do not store microwave browning dish on
the metal shelf.
• Use of the Double Duty™ shelf with Automatic
Cooking is not recommended.
Cookware for Shelf Heating and Reheating
Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that
they will fit together on or under the shelf. Also, be
sure cookware is microwave-safe.
Cookware for heating or reheating include
1 cup measuring cup, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes, 8x4x3-
inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.
Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic
or plastic bowls or divided plates.
Use wax paper or plastic wrap instead of lids on
casseroles. Lids may add too much height to dish.
Positioning the Shelf
To position the Double Duty™
shelf, tip the back slightly and fit
the shelf support guides onto the
support guides located on each
side of the oven in the rear.
Next, lower the front until the shelf
support guides fit onto the support
guides located at each side of the
oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the
shelf should fit snugly in place, be
level and not touch the back wall
of the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the
shelf to cook more than one food
at the same time, turn the oven off.
Make sure the shelf is positioned
right-side-up on all four shelf supports
and not touching oven walls.
To prevent arcing, remove the
shelf when you are not using it.
