The two-position wire shelf is specifically designed for added capacity heating and reheating in your microwave oven. Now more than one food may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the same time.

When microwaving with the oven shelf, some techniques will differ from the Cookbook that came with your oven. It is important to arrange foods properly (shown on the next page). Cookware size is important; select from among the suggestions at right. Also, food siz-e-should be considered; foods over 3fi inches high, or 3 pounds are not recommended for shelf cooking.

Batters and dough foods and also uncooked foods which need to be prepared from scratch should be cooked without the oven shelf, following cookbook directions.

Use pot holders when handling foods heated together with your oven shelf, especially when heating larger amounts of food in 8-inch-squ=e or other 2-quart size casseroles.

Before placing food in the dishes, check to see that they will fit together on or under-the shelf. Also, be sure cookware is microwave safe.

Cookware for heating or reheating include 1 cup measuring cup, 8x4x3-inch loaf dishes, 9x5x3-inch loaf dishes or 9-inch pie plates.

Leftovers may be placed in small individual ceramic or plastic bowls or divided plates.
