Bi-level cooking
The metal oven rack is designed for use in this convection microwave oven. The round baking sheet
is also designed for use in this oven, but should be used for convection cooking only. For convection
bi-level baking of cakes, cookies, etc., use the removable tray for a second baking sheet.
Upper rack is used for bi-level cooking for
items such as layer cakes and cookies.
The lower rack inserted in the removable tray
is used for roasting or broiling in convection
and combination cooking. This allows better
air circulation and juices to drain away from
food.
The round baking sheet is the correct size to allow for proper air flow in convection cooking. When
using the round baking sheet, place it in the center of the upper rack for bi-level cooking or on the
bottom rack for one level cooking.
1. Do not use the rack on the bottom of the oven in place of the removable tray.
2. Be sure that the oven rack and round baking sheet are not touching the interior oven walls before
cooking.

you if the line voltage is low.
