Positioning the Shelf
To position the DOUBLE DUTYTM shelf, tip the back slightly and fit the shelf support guides onto the support guides located on each side of the oven in the rear.
Next, lower the front until the shelf support guides fit onto the support guides located at each side of the oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the shelf should fit snugly
in place, be level and n~~touch the back or side wall of the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the shelf to cook more than one food at the same time, turn the oven off. Make sure the shelf is not touching oven walls. To prevent arcing, remove the shelf when you are not using it.
How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods Together
When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the shelf, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the oven floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
Place on shelf large or dense foods, which need the most heating, such as leftover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or oasta. Place on floor
~hose foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor only.
Popcorn placed on the oven shelf will not pop properly. Use a special microwave popcorn accessory or prepackaged popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
