About microwave energy Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses its built-in magnetron to generate microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food. Before you start 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by the whirling distribution system. This is why the food is cooked evenly. 2. The microwaves are absorbed into the food up to a depth of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Before you start Cookware for microwave mode Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper reflect microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware, refer to the following guide.
Material Glassware Microwavesafe Description Oven-to-table ware Microwave-safe unless decorated with metal trims. Fine glassware Delicate glassware may break or crack if heated rapidly. Glass jars Appropriate for warming only. Remove the lid before cooking. Dishes Metal Plates, cups, napkins, and kitchen paper Use to cook for a short time. These absorb excess moisture. Recycled paper Causes arcing. Containers Use thermoplastic containers only.

Check the installation guide and make sure that the microwave is far enough away from walls and cabinets for proper ventilation. Objects are on top of the oven. Remove all objects on the top of the oven. The door cannot be opened properly. Food residue is stuck between the door and oven interior. Clean the oven and then open the door. The oven does not heat.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Action Troubleshooting The warm function does not work. The oven may not work if too much food is being warmed or improper cookware is being used. To test the oven, put one cup of water in a microwavesafe container and run the microwave for 1-2 minutes to check whether the water is heated. If the water is heated, reduce the amount of food and start the function again. Use a cooking container with a flat bottom. The thaw function does not work.
Problem Cause Action Metal containers are used during the cooking or thawing. Do not use metal containers. When power is connected, the oven immediately starts to work. The door is not properly closed. Close the door and check again. There is electricity coming from the oven. The power source or power outlet is not properly grounded. Make sure the power source or power outlet are properly grounded. There is water dripping.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Action Turntable While turning, the turntable comes out of place or stops turning. There is no roller ring, or the roller ring is not properly in place.
