shelf, it is important to arrange foods
properly. Cookware size is important
Be sure dishes will fit together on or
under the shelf. Food size should be
considered;

or 3 1/2 lbs, are not recommended

without the oven shelf following recipe
directions.

Tips for Reheating
Different
Types
of Food
When heating different types of food
together, foods which should be
served hot must be placed on the
oven floor, while foods which are only
warmed should be placed on the
shelf. Microwave
energy enters the
oven from the bottom only It is impor-
tant to remember that foods absorb
microwave
energy at different rates.
You may need to start heating large or
dense food a few minutes ahead of
smaller or less dense foods. Stagger
and rotate foods as described
above
