Features Turntable Turntable may be turned off (on some models) for manual cooking only. This is helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the turntable, or when cooking with plates that are side by side. Turntable cannot be turned off during preset or sensor (on some models) functions. Cooking Rack Use the rectangular cooking rack only for 2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, always remove rack after 2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven due to soil buildup, clean rack supports often. Convection Element and Fan The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen. Accessories Convection Rack Use the short convection rack for convection cycles (baking or roasting). Place cookware directly on rack for bake and for some roast functions. Some roast functions require that the food be placed directly on the rack. Use a microwave-safe, ovenproof dish or pan under the rack to catch the drippings. Steamer Vessel Use the steamer vessel base, insert and lid for steaming, or use just the base and lid for simmering.
