A:AnswerHello, This model does allow metal racks to be used if used properly per the use and care guide. 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. We hope this helps.
