How do I get the best results?
No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get
poor cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must t on
the glass or guide tray.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, at
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is
not taller than 3⁄4-in. [1.9-cm] deep and is lled with
food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal
to touch walls or door.
Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, depend-
ing on the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle
begins.
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 after the timed ccoking
period ends, food should be allowed to stand either
inside or outside of the oven to completely nish cooking.
Outside oven standing time will allow the oven to be
available for other use. For inside oven standing time,
you can program a "0" power second stage of the cook-
ing cycle. See
Two-Stage Cooking
.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam
out of the vents.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper
bags. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
