Common Questions
28 totalWhat are the power output levels and what are they used for?
The microwave has five power levels: Low (17%) for softening ice cream, Med. Low/Defrost (33%) for soups, stews, and defrosting, Med. (55%) for stew and fish, Med. High (77%) for rice, fish, and chicken, and High (100%) for reheating, boiling water, and beverages. Turn the POWER knob to the desired level, then set the TIMER knob to your required cooking time. The oven will automatically start cooking once both are set. (Page 13)
What should I do if my microwave oven won't start?
Check that the power cord is plugged in tightly — unplug it and plug it back in after 10 seconds. Also verify that the fuse has not blown or the circuit breaker has not tripped, and test the outlet with another appliance to confirm it is working. Additionally, make sure the door is closed properly, as the oven will not start if the door is not fully shut. (Page 15)
How do I properly clean my microwave oven?
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning, then wipe the cavity with a slightly damp cloth and clean accessories in soapy water. The door frame, seal, and neighboring parts should be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers on the oven door glass, as these can scratch the surface and may cause the glass to shatter. (Page 8)
Is it normal for steam to accumulate on the oven door during cooking?
Yes, steam accumulating on the oven door is completely normal. During cooking, steam comes out of food and most exits through the vents, but some may accumulate on cooler surfaces like the oven door. This is not a malfunction and requires no action. (Page 15)
What is the easiest way to clean stubborn food residue from the oven cavity?
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (half a pint) of water, and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes. After heating, wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth. This tip makes cleaning the cavity walls much easier. (Page 8)
What clearances are required when installing the microwave?
The oven requires a minimum clearance of 30cm above it and a minimum clearance of 20cm between the oven and any adjacent walls. The minimum installation height is 85cm, and the rear surface of the appliance must be placed against a wall. Do not remove the legs from the bottom of the oven, and never install the oven over a range cooktop or other heat-producing appliance. (Page 12)
