• The oven should not be run without the metal turn­
table and turntable roller rest in place.
• Food must be placed on the center of the metal turntable.
• When a browning dish is used, the browning dish bottom
must be at least 3/16in. above metal turntable.
Carefully read and follow the instructions for the brown­
ing dish.
• The oven should be thoroughly checked by a trained ser­
