What is the difference between the enamel tray and the glass tray?

Enamel Tray


The enamel tray is for cooking on Airfry, Broil, Convection and Combo mode. Do Not Use enamel tray in Microwave mode only.

The enamel tray must always be in place on the glass tray (unless stated on the display).

Remove tray from the microwave oven using thermal insulation gloves after use. To avoid scalding, do not touch it with your hands.


Glass Tray


Do Not operate the oven without the roller ring and glass tray in place. Only use the glass tray specifically designed for this oven. Do not substitute any other glass tray.

If the glass tray is hot, allow to cool before cleaning or placing in water.

Do Not cook directly on the glass tray. Always place food on a microwave-safe dish, or on a rack set in a microwave-safe dish.

If the food or utensil on the glass tray touches oven walls, causing the tray to stop moving, the tray will automatically rotate in the opposite direction. This is normal.

Glass tray can rotate in either direction. Always place the container on the center of glass tray when cooking.
