No. Ifyou remove or move the glass tray, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the glass tray.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, fiat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3/4in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave
energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Yes. The glass tray moves from side to side, depending on the rotationof the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.
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 food should be removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking. 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.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer'sguidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.
Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
