Function Description
The Comfee Microwave Oven is designed for heating, cooking, and drying food using microwave energy. It is not intended for industrial or laboratory use. The oven offers various cooking functions, including:
- Microwave Cook: Allows users to set specific cooking times and power levels (from 10% to 100%).
- Speedy Cooking: Provides instant cooking at 100% power for durations from 1 to 6 minutes, or in 30-second increments.
- Weight Defrost Function: Defrosts food based on its weight, with an input range of 4 to 100 ounces.
- Time Defrost Function: Defrosts food for a specified time, with a default power level 3 (30%), which can be adjusted.
- Pre-set Cooking Programs: Includes dedicated programs for common items like:
- Popcorn: With options for 1.75, 3.0, and 3.5 ounces.
- Potato: For 1, 2, or 3 potatoes (approx. 230g, 460g, 690g respectively).
- Frozen Vegetable: For 4.0, 8.0, or 16.0 ounces.

- Observation Window: Allows users to monitor food during cooking.
- Door Assembly: Equipped with a safety interlock system to prevent microwave operation when the door is open.
- Utensil Compatibility: The manual provides a detailed list of materials safe for microwave use (e.g., browning dish, dinnerware, heat-resistant glassware, oven cooking bags, paper plates/cups, paper towels, parchment paper, microwave-safe plastic, plastic wrap, thermometers, wax paper) and materials to be avoided (e.g., aluminum tray, food carton with metal handle, metal or metal-trimmed utensils, metal twist ties, paper bags, plastic foam, wood). A "Utensil Test" procedure is provided to check if a non-metallic utensil is safe for microwaving.
- Overheating Prevention: Liquids can be superheated beyond boiling point without visible bubbling. To reduce the risk of injury, users are advised not to overheat liquids, stir them before and halfway through heating, avoid straight-sided containers with narrow necks, allow containers to stand briefly after heating, and exercise extreme care when inserting utensils.
- Safety Interlocks: The oven is designed with safety interlocks to prevent operation with the door open. Users are warned not to tamper with these interlocks.
- Grounding: The appliance must be properly grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. A 3-wire grounding-type extension cord should be used if necessary.
Maintenance Features

- General Cleanliness: Maintaining the apparatus in a good state of cleanliness is crucial to prevent surface degradation, which could affect the lifespan of the appliance and lead to dangerous situations.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section that addresses common issues such as TV reception interference, dim oven light, steam accumulation, accidental operation without food, and the oven not starting or heating. It provides possible causes and remedies for these problems.
- Repair: The appliance should only be serviced by qualified service personnel. Users are warned not to disassemble the appliance due to electric shock hazards.
- WEEE Compliance: The product should not be disposed of with household waste but sent to designated WEEE collecting points.
