Questions and Answers
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the glass
tray or move the giass 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 not use metal pans. You can use aluminum
foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), small
skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not taller
than 34 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to
absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to
touch walls or door.
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 allowed to
stand either in or out of oven after cooking power
stops. Standing time allows heat to spread evenly
throughout the food, improving cooking results.
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? Yes, but only pop pre-packaged microwave popcorn,
and only use the Popcorn command pad. Do not pop
popcorn in any other form or by any other method."
