ANSWER
Only use the rack that is supplied with your microwave oven.
Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and
may damage your oven.
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 vent.
