QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
* Q : I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it. Is it damaged?
* A : Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, it is not
recommended.
* Q : Can the oven be used with the glass tray or roller guide removed?
* A : No. Both the glass tray and roller guide must always be used in the oven before
cooking.
* Q : Can I open the door when the oven is operating?
* A : The door can be opened anytime during the cooking operation. The microwave
energy will be instantly switched off and the time setting will maintain until the door is
closed.
* Q : Why do I have moisture in my microwave oven after cooking?
* A : The moisture on the side of your microwave oven is normal. It is caused by steam from
cooking food hitting the cool oven surface.
* Q : Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
* A : No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes are made
to allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

SPECIFICATIONS ALUMINIUM FOIL CONTAINERS AND
MICROWAVES
The general rule is that metal containers shall not be used in a microwave oven, but if the
following rules are being followed, it is possible to use disposable aluminium foil containers
when reheating and defrosting using microwaves, but in general it takes a longer time and
the final result will not be as good as if the corresponding food were to be placed in
containers of plastic or paper:
• Do not place aluminium foil containers on the wire shelf, as spaking may occure.
• Place the aluminium foil container in a glass bowl and add some water so that it covers the
bottom of the aluminium foil container, not more than half a cm high. This ensures an even
heating of the bottom of the container.
• Always remove the lid, otherwise the oven can be damaged.
• Only undamaged foil containers may be used.
• Aluminium foil containers with a height exceeding 5 cm should be avoided.
• The container must be, as a minimum, half-filled.
• There must be a minimum of 1 cm between the aluminium container and the walls of the
oven and also between two aluminium containers. This is in order to avoid sparking.
• The aluminium container must always be placed on the bottom tray.
• Frequent use of disposable aluminium foil containers will decrease the life time of the
magnetron.
• Reheating of food in aluminium foil containers requires normally, up to double the time
compared to reheating in plastic, glass, porcelain or paper containers. The time when the
food is ready will vary a great deal.
• Let the food stand for 2-3 minutes after heating so the heat is evenly distributed in the
container.
TO A VOID EXPLOSION AND SUDDEN
BOILING
1. Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers and takeaway food containers,
before you microwave them. If you don't,
then steam and pressure might build up
inside and cause and explosion even after
the microwave cooking has stopped.
2. Liquids
Warning: When heating liquids, e.g.
soups, sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven, overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur without the
evidence of bubbling. This could result in
a sudden “boil over” of the hot liquid.
To prevent this happening, the following
steps should be followed:
a. Avoid straight sided containers with
narrow tops or necks.
b. Do not over heat.
c. Stir the liquid before placing the
container in oven and again halfway
through the heating time.
d. After heating, allow to stand in the oven
for a short time, stir again before
carefully removing the container.
e. Place a teaspoon in the liquid before
heating.
3. Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will
build up inside the shell during cooking
and the egg will explode. If you want to
cook or reheat eggs which have not been
broken up by scrambling or mixing, you
must always pierce the yolks or these will
also explode. You should slice shelled
hard boiled eggs before you reheat then
in your microwave oven.
4. Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or
membrane, for example, potatces,
tomatoes, apples, sausages etc. If you
don't pierce them, steam will build up
inside and they may explode.
