QUESTIONS

ANSWERS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large dish?

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?

You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than

3⁄4 in. [19 mm] deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents.

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preset POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
