Introduction.
How Microwaves work.
Precautions.
1. Do not attempt to operate the oven if the
door is misaligned or bent, the hinges are
loose or broken or if the door no longer
closes properly. Report any damage to your
dealer or nearest Defy Service Centre.
They will be able to take the necessary cor-
rective action.
2. Do not tamper with or attempt to bypass
the door safety interlocks.
3. Do not place or trap any object between the
front edge of the oven and the door.
Electrical installation.
• Microwave ovens operate off a 15A earthed
electrical socket and do not require special-
ised electrical installation. However im-
proper earthing could result in electrical
shocks.
• If the supply cord is damaged it must be
replaced by a qualified service technician.
• The use of an extension cord is not recom-
mended but if one must be used, ensure that
the rating is equal or greater than that of the
appliance.
Please take some time and read through this man-
ual carefully. It will tell you all you need to know
about your new microwave oven, what it will do
and how to do it. We wish you many happy years
of cooking.
You are now the owner of one of the finest and
most modern microwave ovens that today’s tech-
nology can produce. You are going to make a
great team together, but first you must familiarise
yourself with the product.
This explains the mystery of how hot food can
emerge from a cold oven.
Microwaves are not retained in the air or in the
food after the door is opened. Microwaves can
not penetrate metals, so the oven cavity is made
of metal. The oven door window is transparent
and is lined with a fine metal mesh which pre-
vents the waves from passing through. The door
mechanism is designed in such a manner that the
oven will not operate if the door is open. During
manufacture, the microwave ovens are subjected
to stringent processes and testing to ensure that
microwave leakage does not occur.
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic
waves closely resembling ordinary daylight or
radio waves. But whereas radio waves vary in
length from 1 metre to many kilometres, micro-
waves are only about 12.5 cm long.
A magnetron converts electrical energy into mi-
crowaves. The microwaves are not hot, so there is
no heat in the microwave oven. The microwaves
penetrate the food and provide energy which vi-
brates the water molecules present in the food.
This incredibly rapid vibration produces extreme
heat which cooks the food.
4. Clean up any residue which may accumu-
late on the door’s inner sealing surface.
5. Liquids or foods should not be heated in
sealed containers as they might explode.
6. Do not allow children or the infirm to use
the oven without responsible supervision.
7. Any adjustment or repairs should only be
undertaken by a qualified service techni-
