Using the Rack
The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated
at one time. However, for the best cooking and
reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with
SENSOR COOKING or AUTO COOKING without the
rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level
manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the
dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating
progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from
the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once
during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or
reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will
assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity.
Avoid:
•
Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in
use.
• Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven.
• Using any browning dish on the rack.
• Using SENSOR COOKING and AUTO COOKING with
the rack.
• Cooking directly on the rack—use microwave-safe
cookware.
Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or
previously cooked, by using power level for 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted
at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program
the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30%
until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.
