Questions & Answers

1.Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable when using the microwave mode. When using the pre-heat and/or the convection fan setting, then you can operate it empty.

2.Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen of the door?

No. the screen bounces the energy back into the oven cavity. The holes allow only the light to pass through.

3.Can my microwave oven be damaged if the food is cooked for too long?

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and possibly even fire and damage the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven when you are cooking.

If the food that you are cooking catches fire, turn the oven “Off” and remove the plug from the electrical outlet. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.

4.Why do some baked foods have a dry, brown spot? A hard, dry spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking time.

5.Why do eggs sometimes pop?

6.Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over?

Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle ends. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the foods. Follow the recipe suggestions.

7.Why is additional time required for cooking food that was stored in the refrigerator?

As in convention cooking, the initial temperature of the food affects the total cooking time.
