Questions and Answers
Q.What's wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. Light bulb has blown.
Door is not closed.
Q.Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust vent
and/or why is water dripping from the bottom of the
door?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking
operations. The microwave has been made
to vent this steam out of the side vent, occasionally
this steam condenses on the
door and water then drips out at the bottom
of the door. This is quite normal and safe.
Q.Does microwave energy pass through the viewing
screen in the door?
A. No. The metal screen reflects the energy to
the oven cavity. The holes, or ports are
made to allow light to pass; they do not let
microwave energy through.
Q.Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates
while empty?
A. Yes. Never run it empty.
Q.Why do eggs sometimes pop?
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 witthout piercing their shells.
Q.Why is standing time recommended after the
cooking operation has been completed?
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.
