Question

pans in my microwave oven?
Sometimes the door of my
microwave oven appears wavy.
Is this normal?
What are the humming noises I
hear when my microwave oven is
operating?
Why does the dish become hot
when I microwave food in it?
What does standing time mean?
Can I pop popcorn in my
microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
Why does steam come out of the
air exhaust vent?
Answer
Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces).
Never allow metal to touch walls or door.
This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven.
This is the sound of the transformer when the magnetron tube cycles on
and off.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish.
Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Dish may not be microwave safe.
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 other purposes.
Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following manufacturer’s
guidelines or use the preprogrammed 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 one or two seconds. Do not
try to repop unpopped kernels. You can also use special microwave
poppers. When using a popper, be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions.
Do not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the air
exhaust vent.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, do not remove outer case at any time,
only an authorized servicer should remove outer case.
