Questions and answers
I accidentally operated my microwave
without any food in it. Is it damaged?
We do not recommend operating the oven
without any food in it. However running it
for a SHORT period should not damage
the oven.
Can I open the door while the oven is
operating?
The door may be opened at any time dur-
ing the cooking process. Microwave en-
ergy will instantly be switched off and the
time setting will be remembered until the
door is closed again.
Does microwave energy pass through
the door screen?
No. Light is allowed to pass through but
not microwave energy.
My microwave oven causes TV interfer-
ence. Is this normal?
Some TV and radio interference might oc-
cur when using the microwave oven. This
is similar to the interference caused by
mixers , vacuum cleaners, hair dryers etc.
Try positioning the TV as far as possible
from the microwave oven.
How do I know if the oven is operating
or not?
The oven is operating when the door is
closed and the interior light is on. At the
end of a cooking cycle, the oven will
beep , the light will go out and the cooling
fan will run for an additional two minutes.
Why does my oven light dim?
When cooking at reduced power levels, the oven
cycles to maintain these levels. Clicking noises
may be heard and the light dims during cycling.
This is normal.
When is the oven light on?
The oven light is on during a cooking cycle and
when the door is opened.
Why does steam accumulate round the oven
door?
During cooking steam is released from most
foods. Some steam will condense on cooler sur-
faces and this is evident around the door. This
occurrence is however completely normal and has
no detrimental effect on the oven.
Sometimes warm air escapes from the oven
vents. Why?
The vents are designed to carry hot air away from
the oven during cooking. They do not allow mi-
crowave energy to escape. Ensure that the vents
are not obstructed in any way.
Why does smoke exhaust from the rear of the
oven?
Smoke may be produced when food is over-
cooked. However it is normal for any smoke to be
exhausted from the oven cavity similar to the hot
air described above.
