How to Use the Shelf When Microwaving

1. The shelf must be positioned on Shelf Supports securely to

prevent damage to the oven from arcing.

2.

DO NOT

use a microwave browning dish on the shelf. The

shelf and dish could overheat.

3.

DO NOT

use the oven with the shelf on the microwave floor.

This could damage the microwave. 

4. Use pot holders when handling the shelf—it may be hot. 

Caution:

Do not heat liquids on shelf, use the turntable for heating liq-
uids.
Also be careful when removing hot items from the shelf or
turntable.

Placement of the Roller Ring

Before using the microwave oven, be sure the Roller Ring is
properly installed. Incorrect installation can result in improper
cooking, damage to the oven or spillage of food. The Roller
Ring must be located on the surface between the raised rib
and raised floor.

For best cooking results

1-Level cooking

Food microwaves best when placed
onto the turntable, with turntable on
(rotating).

When a large dish or more than one
dish is used for cooking, the turntable
can be turned off. For best results,
rotate large dish and interchange mul-
tiple dishes, halfway through cooking
cycle.

For best cooking results, remove the
shelf unless you are reheating on
more than one level.

2-Level cooking

1. Multiply reheat time by 1
