For most cooking, the turntable should be on; however
the turntable can be turned off so that it does not rotate
when extra large dishes, such as the popular 13"x9"x2"
glass utility casserole, are used. The casserole should
be placed on the turntable so that it is level.

Suppose you want to cook lasagna in a 13"x9"x2"
casserole for 45 minutes on 40% power.

NOTE:
The door can be opened for checking food and the
turntable will stay in the off position. After checking,
close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.
The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is
opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It is
possible to reprogram the oven during that minute
without touching the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. The
display always indicates whether the turntable is off
or on.
THE TURNTABLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON WHEN
USING THE SPECIAL FEATURES. On/Off function
can be used with manual cooking modes and Sensor
Reheat. Turntable off condition will automatically change
to on condition when you select auto cooking except
Sensor Reheat and CompuBake.
When cooking large quantities of food which cannot
be stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such
as 40 or 50%. You may speed cooking of large
amounts by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100%
power (HIGH) followed by the desired time on lower
power. See page 23 for how to program multiple
sequences. You may wish to reverse a large casserole
once during cooking; simply open door, reposition
casserole, close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.
