WIRE SHELF USE

• Use the wire shelf ONLY when cooking on two levels.
Place equal amounts of food ON AND BELOW the
shelf. The amount of food placed on the shelf and
turntable must be approximately the same to balance
out the cooking energy.
• Place the four corners of the wire shelf securely into
the four plastic rack supports in the oven cavity. The
wire shelf MUST NOT contact the metal walls or back
of the oven cavity. Metal to metal contact can cause
arcing, which is a discharge of electrical current that
can damage the oven.
• Clean plastic rack supports often (see Cleaning
section). Soil buildup on supports may also lead to
arcing and cause damage to the oven or supports.
CAUTION
• Do not use the wire shelf when popping microwave
popcorn as damage to oven and shelf can occur.
• Do not use the oven with the wire shelf on the
microwave floor as damage to oven can occur.
• Do not handle the wire shelf without using pot
holders or oven mitts as the wire shelf may be hot.
• Do not use the wire shelf unless cooking or heating
more than one food container at the same time.
• Do not store the wire shelf in the microwave oven
as damage to the oven can occur if the oven is
accidentally turned on.
• Do not attempt to use any other wire shelf besides
the one supplied with this oven. The supplied shelf
is designed specifically for this oven and using any
other shelf can damage the oven.
• Do not cook food directly on the wire shelf. Always
place food in a microwave-safe container.

ARCING

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
microwave oven. If you see arcing, press the Stop
pad and correct the problem. See list of arcing
causes below.
Arcing is caused by
• Improper use of the wire shelf.
• Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Plates or dishes with metallic trim or glaze with
a metallic sheen.
• Metal such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold
-rimmed dishes in the oven.
• Use in the oven of recycled paper towels
containing small metal pieces.
• Food spills that are not cleaned up.
• Operating microwave with no food or liquid in
the oven cavity. Never start a cooking cycle
without food or liquid in the oven. If using the
microwave as a timer always use the special
non-cooking timer feature.
