58 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING FAQs Can I use a rack in my upper oven to reheat or cook on two levels at once? Only use the rack that is supplied with your upper oven. Use of any other rack can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing and may damage your oven. Will the upper oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door? No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through. Why do I see light reflection around the outer case? This light is from the upper oven light which is located between the oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven. What are the various sounds I hear when the upper oven is operating? The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave oven's magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch. The change in blower speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron being turned ON and OFF. Can my upper oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long? Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point that the food creates smoke and even possibly fire, and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near the oven while you are cooking. Why is a standing time recommended after microwave cooking time is over? Standing time allows foods to continue cooking evenly for a few minutes after the actual microwave oven cooking cycle. The amount of standing time depends upon the density of the foods. Why is additional time required for cooking food stored in the refrigerator? As in conventional cooking, the initial temperature of food affects total cooking time. You need more time to cook food taken out of a refrigerator than for food at room temperature. Can I use either metal or aluminum pans in my upper oven? Usable metal includes aluminum foil for shielding (use small, flat pieces), and shallow foil trays (if tray is ¾ inch deep and filled with food to absorb microwave energy). Never allow metal to touch walls or door. Sometimes the door of my upper oven appears wavy. Is this normal? This appearance is normal and does not affect the operation of your oven. The glass tray does not move. The glass tray is not correctly in place. It should be correct-side up and sitting firmly on the center hub. The support is not operating correctly. Remove the glass tray and restart the oven. Cooking without the glass tray can give you poor results. Why does the dish become hot when I microwave food in it? I thought that this should not happen. As the food becomes hot it will conduct the heat to the dish. Use hot pads to remove food after cooking. What does standing time mean? 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 purposes.
