Questions Answers
Is it normal for the
glass turntable to turn
in either direction?
Yes. The glass turntable can rotate clockwise or
anti-clockwise, depending on the rotation of the motor
when the cooking cycle starts.
Can I operate my
microwave whilst it is
empty?
No, never run it empty or with a very small load for a
long period of time as this will damage the microwave.
Can I open the door
whilst the microwave is
running?
You can open the door at any point during cooking.
The microwave energy will automatically switch off
when the door is opened, and the time setting will
pause until the door is closed.
Why is my microwave
sparking?
If you see sparks in your microwave, turn it off
immediately. Sparks can be caused by:
metal or aluminium foil that touches the interior of
the microwave, metal from a closing strip or tableware
with metallic edges, recycled paper that contains small
metal particles and aluminium foil that is not correctly
covering the food.
Remove anything from the microwave that may contain
metal. Refer to the Utensils Guideline in this manual for
reference of what containers are microwave safe.
I am trying to cook
eggs and they are
popping. What do I do?
When you bake or poach eggs, the yolk can pop due to
a build-up of steam inside the yolk membrane. Pierce
the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook
eggs without first piercing their shells.
My microwave is taking
longer to cook food
than the cooking guide
says.
Variations in the size, shape and weight of your food can
affect cooking times.
Cooking guide times and heat settings should be used
as suggestions to help prevent over-cooking. If you find
the cooking time or temperature is not suited to your
ingredients, adjust accordingly.
Can I operate my
microwave without the
glass turntable?
No. If you remove the glass turntable you will get poor
cooking results. Ensure that all dishes used in the
microwave fit correctly onto the glass turntable.
What does standing
time mean and why is
it recommended?
Standing time means that food should be removed
from the microwave and allowed to ‘stand’ for an
additional time to let it finish cooking.
This is important because with microwave cooking, the
heat is held 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.
Most directions on microwavable food will note how
much standing time is required.
