ANSWERS
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.
No. When you place a rack on the turntable,
cooking results will be uneven and unpredictable.
Useable metal includes aluminum foil for shield-
ing, (use small, flat pieces), small skewers and
shallow foil trays (if tray is 3/4 inch deep and 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
operation of your oven.
You hear the sound of the magnetron tube
cycling on and off when cooking at less than
100% power.
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 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.
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.
