Questions and Answers

Operation

Question

Why is the oven light not on during 

cooking?

Why does steam come out of the air

exhaust vent?

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the

viewing screen in the door?

Why does a tone sound when a pad on the

control panel is touched?

Can my microwave oven be damaged if

food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into wall outlet

for the first time, it might not work properly.

What is wrong?

Why do I see light reflection around the

outer case?

What are the various sounds I hear when

the microwave oven is operating?

There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.

Have you:

• Set a cook time?

• Touched START?

Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven

has been designed to vent this steam.

Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.

No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.

The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not 

let microwave energy pass through.

The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.

Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food 

to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire 

and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near

the oven while you are cooking.

The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily 

become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you

plug in for the first time or when power resumes after a power 

interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120-volt household outlet 

and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.

This light is from the oven light which is located between the 

oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.

The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the

microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the 

magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical

switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line 

voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF.

Answer

Food

Question

Answer

What is wrong when baked foods have a

hard, dry, brown spot?

Why do eggs sometimes pop?

A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the

cooking or reheating time.

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. 

CAUTION:

Never microwave eggs in the shell.
