Questions and answers.
I accidentally operated my microwave without
any food in it. Is it damaged?
We do not recommend operating the oven with-
out any food in it. However running it for a
SHORT period should not damage the oven.
Can I open the door while the oven is operat-
ing?
The door may be opened at any time during the
cooking process. Microwave energy will instantly
be switched off and the time setting will be re-
membered until the door is closed again.
Does microwave energy pass through the door
screen?
No. Light is allowed to pass through but not mi-
crowave energy.
My microwave oven causes TV interference. Is
this normal?
Some TV and radio interference might occur
when using the microwave oven. This is similar
to the interference caused by mixers , vacuum
cleaners, hair dryers etc. Try positioning the TV
as far as possible from the microwave oven.
How do I know if the oven is operating or not?
The oven is operating when the door is closed and
the interior light is on. At the end of a cooking
cycle, the oven will beep , the light will go out
and the cooling fan will run for an additional two
minutes
.
Why does my oven light dim?
When cooking at reduced power levels, the oven
cycles to maintain these levels. Clicking noises
may be heard and the light dims during cycling.
This is normal.
When is the oven light on?
The oven light is on during a cooking cycle and
when the door is opened.
Why does steam accumulate round the oven
door?
During cooking steam is released from most
foods. Some steam will condense on cooler sur-
faces and this is evident around the door. This
occurrence is however completely normal and has
no detrimental effect on the oven.
Sometimes warm air escapes from the oven
vents. Why?
The vents are designed to carry hot air away from
the oven during cooking. They do not allow mi-
crowave energy to escape. Ensure that the vents
are not obstructed in any way.
Why does smoke exhaust from the rear of the
oven?
Smoke may be produced when food is over-
cooked. However it is normal for any smoke to be
exhausted from the oven cavity similar to the hot
air described above.
