Questions and answers
Q
Does the microwave energy get through
the window on the door?
A
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes
in that lets you see inside but stops microwave
energy from getting out.
Q
Steam comes out of the side of the door
and vents. Can microwave energy get out
too?
A
No. The door and vents are carefully designed to
let steam out during cooking but keep microwave
energy in. The gaps are not big enough for
microwave energy to escape.
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 nothing inside the oven.
It is a good idea to keep a cup of water in the oven
just in case someone accidentally starts the
microwave.
Q
Why will not the oven light come on?
A
Open the door. If the light does not come on, 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 do not 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 microwave further
away from the TV or radio.
