About this microwave oven

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

1Remove all the packing.

2Check 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.
