TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers Operation Answer Question Why is the oven light not on during cooking? There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you: • Set a cook time? • Touched START? Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers (continued) Food Answer Question Why are scrambled eggs sometimes a little dry after cooking? Eggs will dry out when they are overcooked, even if the same recipe is used each time. The cooking time may need to be varied for one of these reasons: • Eggs vary in size. • Eggs are at room temperature one time and at refrigerator temperature another time. • Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
