How to Use the Shelf
When Microwaving
Food microwaves best
when placed on the
turntable or on the shelf
in the lower position.
For best cooking results,
remove the shelf unless you
are cooking on two levels.
The lower position
provides a flat surface for
placing dishes that may tilt
if placed on the turntable.
The lower position also
allows you to place 2 dishes
side-by-side. This is helpful
for casseroles or other
cookware that may be too
tall to cook on two levels.
The upper position gives
you the option to reheat or
cook more than one dish
of food at the same time.
• Make sure the shelf is
positioned properly
inside the microwave
to prevent damage to
the oven from arcing.
• Do not use a
microwave brown-
ing dish on the shelf.
The shelf could
overheat.
• Do not cook with the
shelf on the microwave
floor. This could
damage the microwave.
• Use pot holders when
handling the shelf—it
may be hot.
• Do not use the shelf
when cooking
popcorn.
• Do not use the shelf
with Reheat.
