Using the cooking rack
(Model KCMS185J only)
The Cooking Rack (Part No. 8172101) gives you
extra space when cooking at more than one level in
your microwave oven.
NOTES:
•
Do not store the metal rack in the oven. Arcing and
damage to the oven could result if someone
accidentally starts the oven.
•
Do not operate the oven with the metal rack stored
on the floor of the oven. Damage to the interior
finish will result.
•
Do not use this rack in other cooking appliances.
•
Do not use rack with browning dish.
•
Do not place a metal cooking container directly on
the microwave oven rack. Place a microwave-safe
plate between the metal container and the rack to
prevent possible arcing and damage to the oven.
