However, for the best cooking and reheating, use Turntable ON function and cook with SENSOR MODES or AUTO MODES without the rack. When the rack is used, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking and reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from the rack to turntable and/or stir them at least once during any cooking or reheating time. After cooking or reheating, stir if possible. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking and reheating uniformity. Avoid: • Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use. • Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven. • Using any browning dish on the rack. • Using SENSOR MODES and AUTO MODES with the rack. • Cooking directly on the rack-use microwavesafe cookware. NOTE Turntable ON/OFF function can be used in Manual Operation. See page 29. E
