No. If you remove or turn over the
turntable, you will get poor cooking
results. Dishes used in your oven must fit
on the turntable.
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 not taller than
3
⁄4 in. [19 mm] deep and half filled with food
to absorb microwave energy). Never allow
metal to touch walls or door.
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or
counterclockwise, 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 may 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.
“Standing time” means that food should be
removed from the oven and covered for
additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
This frees the oven for other cooking.
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 preset 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 1 or 2
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels.
Do not pop popcorn in glass cookware.
