Power” chart.
Two or More Plates (manual reheating only)
Two plates may be heated side by side, or 1 dish larger than the
turntable, plus 2 plates on the cooking rack. For best results,
halfway through heating, turn the plates (or larger dish) halfway
around, and switch plates between top and bottom (if heating
more than 2 plates). See “Cooking Rack” section.
The turntable must be turned off while heating 2 bottom plates or
1 larger dish. See “Turntable” section.
Defrost

oven can be manually set to defrost.
■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice
containers) before defrosting.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of cycle for more even defrosting.

as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
