QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I
may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A. Only use the rack that is supplied with your
microwave oven. Use of any other rack can result in
poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may
damage your oven.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use
small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4
inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave
energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
Q. The glass tray does not moving.
A. • The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be
correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub.
• The support is not operating correctly. Remove the
glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the
glass tray can give you poor results.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Q. What does standing time mean?
A. 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 other purpose.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
A. Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer's guidelines or use the preprogrammed
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 try to repop
unpopped kernels. You can also use special
microwave poppers. When using a popper, be sure to
follow manufacturer's directions. Do not pop popcorn
in glass utensils.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the top vent.
