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. [1.9 cm] deep and half
filled with food to absorb microwave energy).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door. (See
“Oven Utensils Guide”.)
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 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 SENSOR 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.
