ANSWERS
You can turn off the turntable to heat 2 dinner
plates side by side or one dish that’s larger than the
turntable. However, if you only need to heat one plate
on the turntable, keep the turntable on for best
cooking results. Also, you should not turn over the
turntable. A plate used on the turntable must fit on it
when the turntable is correct side up.
You can use a rack only if the rack is supplied
with your microwave oven. If you use a rack not
supplied with the microwave oven, you can get poor
cooking performance and/or arcing.
You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use
small, flat pieces), small skewers, and shallow
foil trays (if tray is
3
⁄4 in. [19 mm] deep or less and
half filled with food to absorb microwave energy).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-
clockwise, depending on the rotation of the
motor when the cooking cycle begins.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
You hear the sound of the transformer when the
magnetron tube cycles on.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the vent.
