Checking your Microwave
Check your microwave after unpacking and
whenever you think it might not be working
properly.
1. Push button to open the door.
Put the turntable ring inside the oven and
place the glass turntable on top of the ring.
The turntable is shaped to sit securely on the
spindle.
You must always use the turntable and ring
whenever you use the microwave.
Place a cup of water on the turntable. Make
sure the cup is microwave-safe - it should not
have any decorative metal trim.
2. Close the door.
3. Press the STOP/CLEAR button to clear any
settings that have already been made.
4. Press the MICROWAVE button once, then
press number keys to select cooking time.
Press the START button once.
The oven light comes on during cooking.
5. When cooking finishes, the water should be
hot - be careful when you take the cup out of
the oven.
Press the STOP/CLEAR button.
Steam
When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.
The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to
prevent pressure from building up inside the microwave. It does this through the vents on the back of the
microwave and from around the door.
Condensation
As the steam cools, you may find the condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on the
work surface beneath the door and vents. Always dry
the microwave after cooking foods with a high moisture
content.
Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the
vents and around the door without microwave energy
escaping. There is no danger of microwave energy
escaping with the steam.
