* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not

recommended.
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must
always be used in the oven before cooking.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* A : Yes. Never run it empty.
* A : No. If you remove or turn over the turntable, you
will get poor cooking results. Dishes used in your
oven must t on the turntable.
* A : Ye s. T he tur ntable rotates cl ock wise or
counterclockwise, depending on the rotation of
the motor when the cooking cycle begins.
* A : Yes. Pop packaged microwave popcorn following
manufacture’s guidelines. 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.
