Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the glass
tray or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish?
No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you
will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in
your oven must fit on the glass tray.
Can 1 use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven? You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use
small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow
foil trays (if tray is not taller than in. [1.9 cm]
deep and is filled with food to absorb microwave
energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or
door.
Is it normal for the glass tray to move in either
direction?
Yes. The glass tray moves from side to side,
depending on the rotation of the motor when the
cooking cycle begins.
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears
wavy. Is this normal?
This appearance is normal and does not affect
the operation of your oven.
Why does the dish become hot when 1 microwave
food in it? 1 thought that this should not happen.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.
What does “standing time" mean? “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.
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 vents.
Can 1 pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do 1 get the best results?
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn
following manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use
regular paper bags.
Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
