QWill the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? A Yes Never run it empty or without the glass tray.

Q Why do eggs sometimes pop?

AWhen baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.

QWhy is standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over? A After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps on cooking during

standing time. This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food.

ANo. ‘Auto Cooling System’ operates such that the fan automatically operates for the consumer’s safety if interior temperature of the microwave oven is more than appropriate values after cooking is completed.
