QUESTIONS
Can I operate my microwave oven without the
turntable or turn the turntable over to accommo-
date a large dish?
Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I
may reheat or cook on two levels at a time?
Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
ANSWERS
No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you
will get poor cooking resufts. Dishes used in your
oven must fit on the turntable.
No. When you place a rack on the turntable,
cooking resufts will be uneven and unpredictable
Useable metal includes aluminum foil for
shielding, (use small, flat pieces), small skewers
and shallow foil trays (if tray is W inch deep and
filled with food to absorb microwave energy).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either
direction?
Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-
clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor
when the cooking cycle begins.
Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
What are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
This appearance is normal and does not affect
the operation of your oven.
You hear the sound of the magnetron tube
cycling on and off when cooking at less than
100%
power.
Why does the dish become hot when I microwave
food in it? I thought that this should not happen.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat
to the dish. Be prepared to use hot pads to
remove food after cooking.
What does “standing time” mean?
“Standing time” means that food should be taken
out of the oven and covered for additional time
after cooking. This process allows the cooking to
finish, saves energy and frees the oven for
another purpose.
Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How
do I get the best results?
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines or use the One-Touch
Cooking 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 one
or two seconds. Do not try to repop unpopped
kernels. Use only special microwave poppers,
being sure to follow manufacturer’s directions.
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
