Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While 
radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are 
very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make any heat themselves 
but only cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that 
cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot, when 
your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air 
or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.

The microwave will work using an ordinary household electrical socket. Inside the 
microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the electrical energy into microwaves. 
Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined with metal. The 
see-through door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops microwaves getting 
through. This means that when the microwave oven door is shut, there is no possibility 
that microwaves can be released. This is why the microwave oven has been made so 
that it will not work when the door is open. 

Before you use your microwave oven
1

Remove all the packing.

2

Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as:

a misaligned door;

damage to the door;

dents or holes in the door window and screen; and

dents in the inside.

If you can see any damage 

do not

 use the oven.

This microwave oven weighs approximately 10.5kg so you must put it on a horizontal 
surface that is strong enough to support this weight.
The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam.
Do not put anything on the top of the oven.
Do not remove the turntable shaft.
