Tips for Reheating Different Types of
Food
When heating different types of food together, foods
which should be served hot must be placed on the oven
floor, while foods which are only warmed should be
placed on the shelf. Microwave energy enters the oven
from the bottom only. It Is important to remember that
foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. You
may need to start heating large or dense food a few
minutes ahead of smaller or less dense foods. Stagger
and rotate foods as described above.
Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit
onto the support guides located at each side ofthe 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 _rcing occurs when using the shelf to cook
more fhan one food at the same timej turn the
oven off. Make sure the shelf is positioned right
side up on all four shelf supports and not touching
oven walls.
