side by side.

Cooking Rack
The cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra
cavity space for cooking 2 or more containers at the same time.
Insert the rack securely into the rack supports on the side walls of
the oven. See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder rack.
Rack will become hot. Always use oven mitts or pot holders
when handling.
Do not allow the rack to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling
or floor.
Do not store the rack in the oven. Damage to the oven could
result if someone accidentally turns on the oven.
Use the rack only when cooking on two levels.
Do not use metal cookware, utensils, or a browning dish with
the rack.
Do not let food container on rack touch the top or sides of the
oven.
Do not place popcorn bags on rack.
Do not cook food directly on the rack. Always use a
microwave-safe container.
The rack is designed specifically for this oven. Do not attempt
to use any other rack in this oven.
Clean rack supports often (see “General Cleaning” section).
Damage to the oven could result due to soil buildup.

Start/Add 30 Seconds
The START control shares function with the Add 30 Seconds
feature. The START pad will start any function. If not touched
within 5 seconds after touching a pad, “START?” will appear on
the display as a reminder. If not touched within 5 minutes after
touching a pad, the display will return to the time of day mode
and the programmed function will be canceled.
If cooking is interrupted, touching the START will resume the
preset cycle.

seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional
touch of the control. Once cooking begins, cook power or cook
time may be changed manually by touching the appropriate
