Questions and Answers
Q.
What's
wrong
when the
oven
light
will
not
glow?
A. Light
bulb has blown.
Door is
not
closed.
Q. Why is
steam coming out
of the
air
exhaust
vent
and/or why is water dripping
from the
bottom of the door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking
operations.
The
microwave
has been made
to vent
this
steam out
of the side vent,
occasionally
this
steam
condenses
on
the
door and
water
then
drips
out at
the bottom
of the door. This
is
quite
normal and safe.
Q. Does microwave
energy pass
through
the
viewing
screen
in
the door?
A. No.
The metal
screen
reflects the
energy to
the
oven
cavity.
The
holes,
or
ports
are
made
to
allow
light
to pass;
they
do
not
let
microwave
energy
through.
Q.
Will the
microwave
oven
be
damaged
if
it
operates while
empty?
A. Yes. Never
run
it
empty.
Q. Why
do
eggs sometimes pop?
A.
When
baking
or
poaching
eggs,
the
yolk
may pop
due
to steam
build-up
inside the
yolk
membrane.
To
prevent
this, simply
pierce
the
yolk with
a
toothpick
before
cooking.
Never
cook
eggs
witthout
piercing
their shells.
Q. Why is standing time
recommended after the
cooking
operation
has been
completed?
A. Standing
time is very
important.
With
microwave
cooking,
the heat
is in
the
food,
not
in
the
oven.
Many
foods build
up
enough
internal heat
to
allow the
cooking
process to
continue,
even
after the food
is
removed from the
oven.
Standing
time
for
joints
of meat,
large
vegetables
and cakes
is
to
allow the inside
to
cook
completely,
without
overcooking
the outside.
Q. Why
does
my
oven
not
always
cook
as
fast
as
the
microwave
cooking guide
says?
A.
Check
your
cooking guide
again, to
make
sure
you've
followed directions
exactly;
and
to
see
what
might
cause
variations in
cooking
time.
Cooking guide
times
and heat
settings
are
suggestions, to
help
prevent
over-cooking
. . .
the
most
common
problem
in
getting
used
to
a
microwave
oven.
Variations in
the size,
shape
and
weights
and
dimensions could
require
longer cooking
time.
Use
your
own
judgement along
with the
cooking guide
suggestions to
check
whether the food has been
properly
cooked
just
as
you
would do with
a
conventional
cooker.
Q. Why
do
sparks
and
crackling (arcing)
occur
in
the
oven?
A.
There
may
be several
reasons
why sparks
and
crackling (arcing)
within
cavity
happens.
You
are
using
dishes with metal parts
or
trim
(silver
or
gold).
You
have left
a
fork
or
other metal utensil
in
the
oven.
You
are
using
a
large
amount
of metal foil.
You
are
using
a
metal
twist-tie.
