QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Can 1 operate my microwave oven without the glass tray
or move the glass tray over to hold a large dish? No. If you remove or move the glass tray, you will get poor
cooking results. Dishes used in your oven must fit on the
glass or guide tray.
Can 1 use either metal or aluminum pans in my microwave
oven? You can use aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat
pieces), small skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is not
taller than 2/4-m. [1.9-cm] deep and is filled with food to
absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch
walls or door.
Is it normal for the guide tray to move in either direction? Yes. The guide tray moves from side to side, depending on
the rotation of the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
Why does the dish become hot when 1 microwave food in it?
1 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 removed from
the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish
cooking. This will allow the oven to be available for use.
Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out
of the vents.
Can 1 pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do 1 get the best results? Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacturer’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper bags.
Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop popcorn in
glass cookware.
