The two position wire shelf is
specifically designed for added
capacity heating and reheating in
your Spacemaker” microwave oven.
More than one food may be heated
or reheated and ready to serve at
the same time.
When microwaving with the oven
shelf, some techniques will differ
from the cookbook which came
with your oven. It is important to
arrange foods properly, and this is
shown on the next page. Cookware
size is important; select from among
the suggestions at right. Also, food
size should be considered; foods
over 3

inches high, or 3 pounds
are not recommended for shelf
cooking.
Batters and dough foods and also
uncooked foods which need to be
prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf,
following cookbook directions.

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,
8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5
x3-
inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.
Leftovers may be placed in small
individual ceramic or plastic bowls
or divided plates.
Use pot holders when handling
foods heated together with your
oven shelf, especially when heating
larger amounts of food in 8-inch
square or other 2-quart size
casseroles. Extra steam generated
from multiple food cooking may
make cookware hotter than with
.
regular microwaving.
Use
wax paper or plastic wrap
instead of lids on casseroles. Lids
may add too much height to dish.
