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,

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, [1,9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave

energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door,

Yes, The turntable rotates clockwise or counter- clockwise, depending on the rotationof the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.

You may hear the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on,

As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to remove food after cooking.

"Standing time" means that it allow food to stand

for additional time after cooking inside as well as outside the oven. This frees the oven for other

cooking,

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The

microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the vents,

If the temperature from the range or cooktop below the oven gets too hot, the exhaust fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the LEVEL 4 setting to protect the oven,

It may stay on up to an hour to cool the oven, When this occurs, the o::_pad will not turn the fan off, You cannot turn the exhaust fan oft

during microwave cooking,
