Questions And Answers - LG MS-424E Owner's Manual

Q What's wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A There may be several reasons why the oven light
will not glow.
• Light bulb has blown.
• Door is not closed.
Q Does microwave energy pass through the
viewing screen in the door?
A No. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to
pass; they do not let microwave energy through.
Q Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on
the Control Panel is touched?
A The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is
being properly entered.
Q Will the microwave oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
A Yes. Never run it empty or without the glass tray.
Q Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk
may pop due to steam build up inside the yolk
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk
before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.
Q Why is standing time recommended after
microwave cooking is over?
A After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps on
cooking during standing time. This standing time
finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The
amount of standing time depends on the density of
the food.

Questions And Answers

Q Is it possible to pop corn in a microwave oven?
A Yes, if using one of the two methods described
below:
(1) Popcorn-popping utensils designed specifically
for microwave cooking.
(2) Prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn
that contains specific times and power outputs
needed for an acceptable final product.
FOLLOW EXACT DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY EACH
MANUFACTURER FOR THEIR POPCORN
PRODUCT. DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN
UNATTENDED WHILE THE CORN IS BEING
POPPED. IF CORN FAILS TO POP AFTER THE
SUGGESTED TIMES, DISCONTINUE COOKING.
OVERCOOKING COULD RESULT IN THE CORN
CATCHING FIRE.
CAUTION
NEVER USE A BROWN PAPER BAG FOR
POPPING CORN. NEVER ATTEMPT TO POP
LEFTOVER KERNELS.
Q Why doesn't my oven always cook as fast as
the cooking guide says?
A Check your cooking guide again to make sure
you've followed directions correctly, and to see what
might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking
guide times and heat settings are suggestions,
chosen to help prevent overcooking, the most
common problem in getting used to a microwave
oven. Variations in the size, shape, weight and
dimensions of the food require longer cooking time.
Use your own judgement along with the cooking
guide suggestions to test food condition, just as you
would do with a conventional cooker.
