PROBLEM SOLVING
Problem Potential reason
Potential solution
Sparking
1. Burnt on food debris
Spillages or splashes can burn and catch fire, all food that is put
into the microwave should be appropriately covered. All spillages
or splashes must be cleaned, and all areas of microwave cleaned
after each use.
Burnt
on food debris in the microwave, on the wave guide
and the
behind the
wave guide
can cause the microwave to 'spark'. This is
because burnt on debris can be focused on by the microwaves and
spark.
Microwaves must be
cleaned thoroughly after
every use to ensure
no food is burnt on to any part of the microwave.
If the microwave does 'spark' the
wave guide
must be disposed, the
microwave
must
be cleaned thoroughly and then contact customer
services for a replacement wave guide.
The replacement
wave guide
should be fitted and the microwave
should operate normally. However, if the microwave 'sparks' again
on first use (after the waveguide has been replaced and the
microwave been cleaned), please contact customer services for
further advice.
2. Metal or foil
No metal or foil should be put inside a microwave as it can cause
'sparking' which can damage the microwave.
The only metal accessories that should be used inside the
microwave are the ones supplied by the manufacturer.
3. Pressure buildup
in
food
Food with none porous skins (potatoes for example), must be
pierced to allow steam to escape. As the buildup
of pressure can
cause food to burst and create a 'fire hazard‘.
Heat spots
Operated empty or with
no moisture
Microwaves cannot be run empty. Microwaves
need moisture to
operate correctly.
If microwaves are operated empty
or used to heat up plates (this
is
not permitted), the microwaves can focus on a single point inside
the microwave. This can cause a heat spot, which can cause the
area to become deformed, warped or start to melt.
If microwaves are operated empty or to heat up foreign objects
this will void the warranty.
