Questions &

Answers

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 has blown

Door is not closed

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.

Q Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

A Yes Never run it empty or without the glass tray.

Q 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.

Q  Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?

A After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps 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.

Q Is it possible to pop corn in a microwave oven?

A Yes, if using one of the two methods described

below

1 Popcorn-popping utensils 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 PRODUCT. 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 THE CORN CATCHING FIRE.

CAUTION

NEVER USE A BROWN PAPER BAG FOR POPPING CORN. NEVER

ATTEMPT TO POP LEFTOVER KERNELS.

Q  Why doesn’t my oven always cook as fast as the cooking guide says?

A Check your cooking guide again to make sure you’ve followed directions

correctly, and to see what might cause variations in cooking time.

Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, chosen to help

prevent overcooking, the most common problem in getting used to a

microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape, weight and dimensions of

the food require longer cooking time. Use your own judgement along

with the cooking guide suggestions to test food condition, lust as you

would do with a conventional cooker.
