ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE
How do microwaves work?
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to
radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre
to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5
centimetres.)
Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but cause water
molecules in food to vibrate.
This vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your
food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when your utensils
inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the
air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household
electrical socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron,
which turns the electrical energy into microwaves.
Microwaves cannot travel through metal, so the inside of the oven
is lined with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which
stops microwaves getting through. This means that when the
microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility that
microwaves can be released.

COOKING TIPS
Defrosting tips
Microwaves penetrate around 4cm into most food. To maximize
defrosting effectiveness follow the below guidelines.
1. For thick foods, turn regularly during operation in order to
defrost evenly.
2. If food weighs over 500g, it is advised to turn at least 2 times.
3. Defrosted food should be consumed as soon as possible, it is not
advisable to put back into the fridge or to freeze again.
Cooking tips - The following may affect cooking results:
Food arrangement
If possible, thicker bits of food should be placed around the
outside of the dish and the thinner parts toward the centre, spread
out as evenly as possible. Do not overlap food if possible as this
could result in uneven cooking results.
Cooking length
If you are unsure of cooking times it is advisable to start with a
short cooking time and monitor cooking progress before adding
further time. Overcooking could lead to a risk of fire. Ensure food
is cooked thoroughly before consuming.
Cooking food evenly
Foods such as meat should be turned frequently to ensure more
even cooking results. If the food is liquid based, stirring during the
cooking time is advisable.
Allow standing time
When the microwave has stopped cooking, leave the food to rest
for an adequate length of time to allow for cooking completion
and cooling.
23

TV or equipment as far away from your microwave oven as possible.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always
unplug the microwave before performing maintenance
or trouble shooting checks.
26
PROBLEM SOLVING
Problem Potential reason Potential solution
Sparking
Burnt on food debris
Spillages or splashes can burn and catch fire, all food that is
put into the microwave should be appropriately covered. All
spillages or splashes must be cleaned, and all areas of
microwave cleaned after each use.
Burnt on food debris in the microwave, on the wave guide
and the behind the wave guide can cause the microwave to
'spark'. This is because burnt on debris can be focused on by
the microwaves and spark.
Microwaves must be thoroughly cleaned after every use to
ensure no food is burnt on to any part of the microwave.
If the microwave does 'spark' the wave guide must be
disposed, the microwave
must be cleaned thoroughly and
then contact customer services for a replacement wave
guide.
The replacement wave guide should be fitted and the
microwave should operate normally. However, if the
microwave 'sparks' again on first use (after the waveguide has
been replaced and the microwave cleaned,)
please contact
customer services for further advice.
Metal or foil
No metal or foil should be put inside a microwave as it can
cause 'sparking' which can damage the microwave.
The only metal accessories that should be used inside the
microwave are the ones supplied by the manufacturer.
Pressure build up in
food
Food with none porous skins (potatoes for example), must be
pierced to allow steam to escape. As the build up of pressure
can cause food to burst and create a 'fire hazard‘.
Heat spots
Operated empty or
with no moisture
Microwaves cannot be run empty, microwaves need moisture
to operate correctly.
If microwaves are operated empty or are used to heat up
plates (this is not permitted), the microwaves can focus on a
single point inside the microwave. This can cause a heat spot,
which can cause the area to become deformed, warped or
start to melt.
If microwaves are operated empty or to heat up foreign
objects this will void the warranty.
27
PROBLEM SOLVING
Problem Potential reason
Potential solution
Condensation
or excess
water
1. Food that is being
cooked
By the very nature of how a microwave works, it ‘excites’ the
water molecules in the food it is heating, causing them to
move about and generate heat from within the food. Often
when the food heats up it reaches the point where steam is
released. Dependant on the food type being heated (and its
water content level), the length of time being heated for
–
and so the amount of steam generated
– it is inevitable that
some of the steam will condense and form back into water
droplets within the microwave cavity. This can usually be
found on the inner walls or most commonly on the back of
the glass door. If not cleaned up, these droplets can start to
form small ‘pools’ of water.
2. Cooling vents covered
Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the
microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause
excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the
microwave to overheat.
The installation instructions in the instruction manual must be
followed or the warranty will be void.
Paint damage/
peeling
Maintenance
If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact
customer services for further advice or take the microwave
back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or
replacement
Light not
working
Bulb not working
Due to the construction of microwaves and certain
'dangerous' components inside,
the light bulb can only be
changed by a qualified service engineer.
If the microwave is within its warranty period, please contact
customer services for further advice or take the microwave
back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or
replacement
Over heating
Cooling vents covered
Cooling vents allow the heat and steam to escape from the
microwave. These cannot be covered as it can cause
excessive water to settle inside the microwave or the
microwave to overheat.
The installation
instructions in the manual must be followed
or the warranty will be void.
Too noisy
1. Glass turntable fitted
incorrectly
Check that the glass turntable has been placed correctly on
the turntable and is not hitting the walls/doors of the
microwave during operation.
2. Dishes/plate are too
large for the microwave
Check that the dishes/plates are the correct size for the
microwave and that they are not hitting the walls/door of
