questions and answers
Q.
What happens if the microwave is
switched on while the oven is empty?
A.
The microwave will be damaged. Do not
switch the microwave on when there is noth-
ing inside the oven. It is a good idea to keep a
cup of water in the oven just in case some-
one accidentally starts the microwave.
Q.
Why doesn’t the oven light illuminate?
A.
Open the door. If the light does not il-
luminate, the bulb has probably blown. Call a
qualified repairer – do not try to change the
bulb yourself.
Q.
There are sparks inside the oven when I
use the microwave. Will this cause any
damage?
A.
Yes. Make sure that you are not using any
metal utensils and that your containers don’t
have a metal trim. You must not use metal in
your microwave, except foil, when you cook.
Q.
Light is showing through the vents and
door. Does this mean the microwave
energy can escape?
A.
No. It is normal for the light to be visible
and is nothing to be concerned about.
Q.
Why do I get interference on my TV and
radio when I use the microwave?
A.
Microwave ovens use radio waves similar
to those received by TVs and radios. You can
lessen the interference by moving your micro-
wave further away from the TV or radio.
