QUESTIONS
Can I operate my microwave oven without the glass
tray or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish?
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven appears
wavy. Is this normal?
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
What does "standing time" mean?
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
ANSWERS
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.
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 3⁄4 in. [1.9 cm] deep and is filled with food to
absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to
touch walls or door.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
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 other purpose.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the vents.
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.
