RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operation of the microwave oven can cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.
When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
1.
Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2.
Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3.
Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4.
Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
5.
Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
UTENSILS GUIDE
1.
The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the
container and heat the food.
2.
Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments
which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don’t
use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
