HOW TO USE THE DOUBLE DUTY"“ SHELF
' Use the shelf only when cooking food on
2 levels. Food microwaves best when placed
directly on the oven floor.
' Do not store or cook with the shelf on the floor
of the oven. Product damage may result.
• Use pot holders when handling the metal shelf
and containers. They may be hot.
• Do not store a microwave browning dish on the
metal shelf.
Your shelf accessory is designed for use in the
microwave oven only;
do no use it in the lower oven.
Do not use a browning dish with the shelf. Arcing
could occur.
The wire shelf is specifically designed for added
heating and reheating capacity.
More than one food
may be heated or reheated and ready to serve at the
same time.
Do not use the oven shelf to cook batters and
dough foods and also uncooked foods which need
to be prepared from scratch.
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 popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
Positioning the Shelf
To position the Double Duty^^
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 not touch the back 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 positioned
right-side-up on all four shelf supports
and not touching oven walls.
To prevent arcing, remove the
shelf when you are not using it.

How to Heat or Reheat Several Different l^pes of Food Together
When heating several different types of food
together,
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 larger or more dense foods a few minutes
ahead of time, then add smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems
underheated 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 the time,
stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (floor
especially) after 3/4 of the total time and remove
any which are done. Continue cooking others.
