What does standing
time mean and why is it
recommended?
Standing time means that food should be removed from the
microwave and allowed to ‘stand’ for an additional time to let
it finish cooking.
This is important because with microwave cooking, the heat is
held in the food, not in the oven. Many foods build up enough
internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even
after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for
joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside
to cook completely, without overcooking the outside.
Most directions on microwavable food will note how much
standing time is required.
7 - Servicing safeguards -
Microwave radiation
It is hazardous for anyone, other than a qualified service technician, to carry out
any service for repairing operation which involves removal of any cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.
The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high when the appliance is
operating.
The high voltage capacitor remains charged after disconnection; short the negative
terminal of a H.v capacitor to the oven chassis (use a screwdriver) to discharge
before touching.
Magnetron
High voltage transformer
High voltage capacitor
High voltage diode
High voltage fuse
The following conditions may cause undue microwave exposure during servicing.
Improper fitting of magnetron;
Improper matching of door interlock, door hinge and door;
Improper fitting of switch support;
Door, door seal or enclosure has been damaged.
