always be used in the oven before cooking.
*Q:Can I  op en t he  do or  wh en t he  ov en  is
operating?

ovenaftercooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven
is normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food
hitting the cool oven surface.

*Q:Whydoeggssometimespop?

toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs without
piercing their shells.
*Q:Whyisthisstandingtimerecommendedafter
thecookingoperationhasbeencompleted?
* A : Standing time is very important.
With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food,
not i n the oven. Many foods b uild up eno ugh
internal heat to allow the cooking process to
continue, even after the food is removed from the
oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large
vegetables and cakes is to all ow the inside to
cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
*Q:Whatdoes“standingtime”mean?
* A : “Standi ng time” mea ns t hat food sh ould be
removed from the oven and covered for additional
time to allow it to finish cooking. This frees the
oven for other cooking.
*Q:Whydoesmyovennotalwayscookasfastas
themicrowavecookingguidesays?
* A : C heck your cooking guide aga in, to make sure
you’ve fol lowed dire ctions exa ctly ; a nd to s ee
what might cause variations in cooking time.
Cooking guide times and heat settings are
suggestions, to help prevent over-cooking... the
most common problem in getting used to a
microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and
dimensions could require longer cooking time.
Use your own judgement along with the cooking
guide suggestions to check whether the food has
been properly cooked just as you would do with a
conventional cooker.

the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop”
every 1 or 2 seconds. Do not repo p unpopped
kernels. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
