QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any

food in it. Is it damaged?

A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not

damage the oven. However, it is not recommended.

Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller

guide removed?

A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always

be used in the oven before cooking.

Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?

A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking

operation. Then microwave energy will be instantly
switched off and the time setting will maintain until the
door is closed.

Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven

after cooking?

A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is

normal. It is caused by steam from cooking food hitting
the cool oven surface.

Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing

screen in the door?

A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the

oven cavity. The holes are made to allow light to pass
through. They do not let microwave energy pass
through.

Q : Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A : When baking or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due

to steam build-up inside the yolk membrane. To
prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a toothpick
before cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing their
shells.

Q : Why this standing time recommended after the

cooking operation has been completed?

A : Standing time is very important.

With microwave cooking, the heat is in the food, not in
the oven. Many foods build up enough internal heat to
allow the cooking process to continue, even after the
food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints
of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the
inside to cook completely, without overcooking the
outside.

Q : What does “standing time” mean?

A : “Standing time” means that food should be removed

from the oven and covered for additional time to allow
it to finish cooking. This frees the oven for other
cooking.

Q : Why does my oven not always cook as fast as the

microwave cooking guide says?

A : Check your cooking guide again, to make sure you’ve

followed directions exactly ; and to see what might
cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times
and heat settings are suggestions, to help prevent
over-cooking... the most common problem in getting
used to a microwave oven.
Variations in the size, shape and weights and
dimensions could require longer cooking time. Use
your own judgment along with the cooking guide
suggestions to check whether the food has been
properly cooked just as you would do with a
conventional cooker.

Q : Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates

while empty?

A : Yes. Never run it empty.

Q : Can I operate my microwave oven without    the

turntable or turn the turntable over to hold a large
dish?

A : 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.

Q : Is it normal for the turntable to turn in either

direction?

A : Yes. The turntable rotates clockwise or

counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of the
motor when the cooking cycle begins.

Q : Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven? How do

I get the best results?

A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following

manufacture’s guidelines. Do not use regular paper
bags. Use the “listening test” by stopping the oven as
soon as the popping slows to a “pop” every 1 or 2
seconds. Do not repop unpopped kernels. Do not pop
popcorn in glass cookware.
