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 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 time
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.

PROBLEM SOLVING
25
Problem Potential reason
Potential solution
Not heating
Magnetron not
working
The component that produces the
microwaves is called a magnetron, if food is
not being heated or is 'luke' warm then it is
likely this component has developed a fault.
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.
Sparking
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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‘.
PROBLEM SOLVING
26
Problem Potential reason
Potential solution
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.
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. Dependent 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

peeling
Maintenance
If the microwave is within its warranty period,
please contact customer services for further advice

The ‘wheelie bin’ symbol is known as the 'Crossed-out wheelie bin Symbol'.
When this symbol is marked on a product/batteries, it means that the
product/batteries should not be disposed of with your general household
waste. Only discard electrical/electronic/battery items in separate
collection schemes, which cater for the recovery and recycling of materials
contained within. Your co-operation is vital to ensure the success of these
schemes and for the protection of the environment. For your nearest
disposal facility, visit www.recycle-more.co.uk or ask in store for details.
