QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
*
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 and START is pressed.
*
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 judgement 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. This will damage it. If the microwave is operated
empty, the excess energy will be absorbed and focused at the weakest
point of the cavity or door, potentially causing door melting/ arcing.
The energy will not normally focus at this point with a normal amount of
food material in the cavity. Low load items are items of food that contain
little or no liquid.
*
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 manufactures
guidelines or use the preset POPCORN button. 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.
