Why is my Belling BI45COMW not heating food properly?

  If your Belling Microwave Oven isn't heating or is cooking food slowly, ensure you're using microwave-safe cookware. Metal cookware is unsuitable. Also, verify that you've selected the correct microwave power level and cooking duration. Remember, cooking two smaller portions is faster than cooking one large portion. Finally, check if the showroom demonstration mode has been accidentally activated and deactivate it.

  If you're hearing strange noises or seeing arcing in your Belling Microwave Oven, it could be due to several reasons. Metal cookware should not be used in the microwave. Ensure there's a gap of at least 3cm between the cookware and the oven walls. Also, make sure the glass turntable and roller ring are correctly positioned.
