Questions and Answers

QUESTIONSANSWERS

Can I operate my microwave oven without the turntable or turn the turntable over to accommodate a larae dish?

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?

No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the turntable.

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

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

Useable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is

%inch deep and half filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (For more information, see page 30.)

Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either direction?

Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.

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?

Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen.

What does “standingtime” mean?

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.

“Standingtime” 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.

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

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preprogrammed Popcorn pad for 3.5 oz bags only. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listeningtest” by stopping the oven as soon as the popping slows to a “pop”every one or two seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils. Do not unfold bag when popping 3.0 to 3.5 oz bags of popcorn, because in small size oven cavity, bag can become stuck between turntable and oven wall.

Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?

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