ANSWERS
You can use a rack only if the rack is
supplied with your microwave oven. Use of
any rack not supplied with the microwave
oven can result in poor cooking perfor-
mance and/or arcing.
Useable metal includes aluminum foil for
shielding (use small, flat pieces), small
skewers, and shallow foil trays (if tray is
?4 inch deep and filled with food to absotb
microwave energy). Never allow metal to
touch walls or door. (For more information,
see page 53.)
This appearance is normal and does not
affect the operation of your oven.
You hear the sound of the transformer wher
the magnetron tube cycles on.
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat to the dish. Be prepared to use hot
pads to remove food after cooking.
“Standing time” means that food shoukf be
taken out of the oven and covered for addi-
tional time after cooking. This process al-
lows the cooking to finish, saves energy,
and frees the oven for another purpose.
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 micro-
wave poppers. When using a popper, be
sure to follow manufacturer’s directions. Do
not pop popcorn in glass utensils.
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave oven has been designed to
vent this steam out the top vent.
