Q
uestions and Answers
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 grid only if grid is supplied with
your microwave oven. Use of any grid not sup-
plied with the microwave oven can result in poor
cooking performance and/or arcing.
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, flat pieces), small skewers, and
shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller than
3 ⁄
4
inch
(19 mm) deep and half filled with food to
absorb microwave energy). When broiling or
using CRISP, use the specially designed
CRISPWARE* Crisper Pan that comes with your
oven. Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
(For more information, see “Cooking tips” in the
“Cooking Guide” 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 food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Also, when broiling remember that the
Crisper Pan is made of a special material that
absorbs microwave energy, making the pan very
hot for browning. To avoid burns, use hot pads or
the Crisper Pan handle to remove food after
cooking and broiling.
“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.

Sometimes the door of my micro-

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

Why does the dish become hot
when I microwave food in it? I
