PROBLEM
Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time. If you
have any of the problems listed below, try the solutions given. They may
save you the time and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call.
The following are normal occurrences.
•
Condensation inside the oven
• Air flow around the door and outer casing
• Light reflection around the door and outer casing
• Steam escaping from around the door or vents
The food is not cooked at all
•
Have you set the timer correctly and pressed the
Start
( ) button?
• Is the door closed?
• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a
breaker to be triggered.
The food is either overcooked or undercooked
•
Was the appropriate cooking length set for the type of food?
• Was an appropriate power level chosen?
Sparking and cracking occur inside the oven (arcing)
•
Have you used a dish with metal trimmings?
• Have you left a fork or other metal utensil inside the oven?
• Is aluminum foil too close to the inside walls?
The oven causes interference with radios or televisions
•
Slight interference may be observed on televisions or radios when the
oven is operating. This is normal.
•
Solution: install the oven away from televisions, radios and aerials.
•
If interference is detected by the oven’s microprocessor, the display may
be reset.
•
Solution: Disconnect the power plug and reconnect it. Reset the
time.
“E - 24” message indicates
•
The “E - 24” message is automatically activated prior to the microwave
oven overheating. Should the “E - 24” message be activated, then
depress the “Stop/Cancel” key to utilize the initialization mode.

HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or
the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•
Defrost
•
Reheat
•
Cook
Cooking Principle
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron
reflected at cavity and are distributed uniformly as
the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus
cooked evenly.
2.
The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to
a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3.
Cooking times vary according to the container used
and the properties of the food:
•
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore
be respected to ensure:
•
Even cooking of the food right to the centre
•
The same temperature throughout the food
