ANSWERS
No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the glass or guide tray.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, fiat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3/4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, de- pending on the rotation of the motor when the cook- ing 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 after the timed cooking period ends, food should be allowed to stand either inside or outside of the oven to completely finish cooking. Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be available for other use. For inside oven
standing time, you can program a "0" power second stage of the cooking cycle.
See :"Two - Stage 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's guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.
Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
Because of the large cavity and guide tray that moves side to side, you can use dishes up to 12 x 15 inches.
