Top replacement parts for Caloric built-in microwaves

• Door handle. The door handle allows you to open the microwave door to pull you food after when it's cooked. A service technician should replace the microwave door handle because door shielding is disturbed during the repair process and the door should be properly tested for microwave radiation leakage before the microwave is returned to service.
• Turntable. The turntable holds food items inside the microwave cavity when cooking. The turntable rotates during cooking to evenly heat food items.
• Turntable motor. The turntable motor rotates the cooking tray so foods cook evenly inside the microwave.
• Leveling leg. The leveling leg attaches to the bottom of the microwave cabinet and allows you to adjust its height to properly level the microwave on the counter.

Testing dinnerware or cookware before use in a Caloric built-in microwave

To test a dish or cookware for safe use inside your microwave, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Start the microwave at 100% power for one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
