Q U ESTIO N S AND A N S W E R S
Q. What's wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.
■ Light bulb is burned out.
■ START has not been touched.
Q. Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking operations. The microwave oven has been made to
vent this steam out of the vent.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A. No. The holes, or ports are made to allow light to pass; they do not let microwave energy through.
Q. Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the Control Panel is touched?
A. The beep tone sounds, to assure that the setting is being properly entered.
0 . Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?
A. Yes. Never run it empty and without the turntable.
0 . Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build up inside the yolk
membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the
shell.
0 . Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?
A. After microwave cooking is finished, foods keep on cooking during standing time. This standing
time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the
density of the food.
0 . Is it possible to pop corn in a microwave oven?
A. Yes, if using one of the two method described below:
(1) Microwave-popping devices designed specifically for microwave cooking.
(2) Prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that contains specific times and power outputs
needed for an acceptable final product.
FOLLOW EXACT DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY EACH MANUFACTURER FOR THEIR POPCORN
POPPING PRODUCT AND DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED WHILE THE CORN IS
BEING POPPED. IF CORN FAILS TO POP AFTER THE SUGGESTED TIMES, DISCONTINUE
COOKING. OVERCOOKING COULD RESULT IN AN OVEN FIRE.
CAUTION:
NEVER USE A BROWN PAPER BAG FOR POPPING CORN OR ATTEMPT TO POP
LEFTOVER KERNELS.
Q. Why doesn't my oven always cook as fast as the Cooking Guide says it should?
A. Check with 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 sug
gestions, chosen to help prevent over-cooking the most common problem in getting used to a
microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape, weight and dimensions of the food could require
longer Cooking time. Use your own judgement along with the Cooking Guide suggestions to test
for doneness, just as you would do with conventional cooking.
