Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven

Control panel features (cont.)

Heating more than one plate of food

When heating plates of food with a cook time that you set, you can heat two 1014-in. (26.7 cm) plates side by side or

one dish larger than the turntable. You can

heat 2 more plates on

the Cooking Rack for

a possible total of 4

plates. For best results, halfway through cooking turn

the plates halfway around until the food in the front is in the back. Do the same when heating a larger (9- to 13-in. [23 - 33 cm]) casserole. When heating 4 dinner plates turn as described above and switch the top plates with the bottom plates.

To heat 2 bottom plates together or one larger dish, the turntable should not be turning. You can shut the turntable off by touching TURNTABLE ON/OFF.

“TURNTABLE OFF” appears on the display. If you touch TURNTABLE ON/OFF before starting to set the cooking function, your oven will prompt you to enter a cooking time without you needing to touch COOK TIME. Your turntable will be turned back on when cooking is over or when you touch CANCEL/OFF.

NOTE: You cannot turn off the turntable when using an “auto” function.

children cannot use the microwave oven when you do not want them to.

and hold for 5 seconds
