Designed Cooking Rack The cooking rack is ideal for two-level cooking. It provides extra cavity space for cooking two or more containers at the same time.

If not touched after touching a pad, “TOUCH START” will appear in the display. If cooking is interrupted, touching START/ENTER will resume the preset cycle.
Cooking Guidelines MICROWAVE OVEN USE Covering A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food. ■ Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door. ■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

The EZ-Choice® Defrost feature’s preset programs can be used or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost. ■ Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal results. How foods are stored can affect results.
