For most cooking, the turntable should be on; however
the turntable can be turned off so that it does not rotate
when extra large dishes, such as the popular 13 x 9 x 2
glass utility casserole, are used. The casserole should
be placed on the turntable so that it is level.
• Suppose you want to cook lasagna in a 13 x 9 x 2
casserole for 45 minutes on 40% power.

NOTE:
The door can be opened for checking food and the turn-
table will stay in the off position. After checking, close
door and touch START/TOUCH ON.
The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is
opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It is
possible to reprogram the oven during that minute with-
out touching the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. The dis-
play indicates when the turntable is off.
All special features can only be used with the turntable
on. When the turntable is set in the off position, only
manual operation can be used.
When cooking large quantities of food which cannot
be stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such as
40 or 50%. You may speed cooking for large amounts
by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100% power (HIGH)
followed by the desired time on lower power. See page
17 for how to program multiple sequences. You may
wish to reverse a large casserole once during cooking;
simply open door, reposition casserole, close door and
touch START/TOUCH ON.
USING THE RACK
The Rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated
at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheat-
ing, use the turntable on and the automatic features.
When using the Rack, set time and power level manu-
ally. Allow plenty of space around and between the
dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking/reheating
progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from
rack to turntable at least once during any cooking or
reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in
better cooking/reheating uniformity.
AVOID:
• Storing the Rack in the oven when not in use.
• Popping popcorn on the turntable with the Rack in
the oven.
• Using any browning dish on the Rack.
• Using special features with the Rack. Special fea-
tures are designed to be used with foods only on the
revolving turntable.
• Cooking directly on the Rack—use microwave-safe
cookware.
