TURNTABLE ON/OFF

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.
