ANSWERS

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 the rack is supplied with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor cooking performance and/or arcing.

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

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

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.

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

Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s guidelines or use the preset Popcorn pad. Do not use regular paper bags. Use the “listening test” 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.
