Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave oven?

Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears wavy. Is this normal?

What are the humming noises that I hear when my microwave oven is operating?

What does “standing time” mean?

Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do I get the best results?

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any rack not supplied with the micro- wave oven can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

Useable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than 3/4inch deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (For more information, see the “Microwave cooking tips” section.)

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

You 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 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.

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed POPCORN pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listen- ing test” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop”every 1 or

2 seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special micro- wave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the top vent.
