Questions And Answers

QUESTIONS

Can I operate my microwave oven without

the turntable or turn the turntable over to

accommodate a large dish?

Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so

that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a

time?

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 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

a/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb

microwave energy). Never allow metal to

touch walls or door.

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 “standing time” mean?

This appearance is normal and does not

affect the operation of your oven.

You hear the sound of the transformer wher

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

taken out of the oven and covered for

additional time after cooking. This process

allows the cooking to finish, saves energy

and frees the oven for another purpose.

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. Do noi

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 try to repop unpopped

kernels. You can also use special micro-

wave poppers. When using a popper, be

sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do

not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
