QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that
I may reheat or cook in two levels at a time?
A. 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.
Q. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my
microwave oven?
A. Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding
(use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray
is 3/4 inch deep and filled with food to absorb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls
or door.
Q. Sometimes the door of my microwave oven
appears wavy. Is this normal?
A. This appearance is normal and does not affect the
operation of your oven.
Q. What are the humming noises that I hear when
my microwave oven is operating?
A. You hear the sound of the transformer when the
magnetron tube cycles on and off.
Q. Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave food in it? I thought that this should
not happen.
A. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to
the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking.
Q. What does standing time mean?
A. 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 purpose.
Q. Can I pop popcorn in my microwave oven?
How do I get the best results?
A. 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.
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust
vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The
microwave oven has been designed to vent this
steam out the top vent.
