How the Microwave Function Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and
ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel
through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. This ovens, however,
have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in
microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to create
microwave energy.

These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven.
A tray is located inside the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal
walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials as glass, porcelain
and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe cooking dishes are
constructed.

Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking vessels will eventually
get hot from the heat generated by the food.

A very safe appliance

Your SolarDOM oven, is one of the safest of all home

appliances. When the door is opened, the oven

automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave

energy is converted completely to heat when it enters

food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when

you eat your food.

which involves the removal of any cover
which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy. Do not operate the
oven, if the door seals and adjacent
parts of the microwave oven are faulty.
Repairs should only be undertaken by a
qualified service technician.

 Unlike other appliances, the microwave

oven is high-voltage and high-current
equipment. Improper use or repair could

result in harmful exposure to excessive
microwave energy or an electric shock.

2. Do not use the oven for the purpose of
dehumidification. (ex. Operating the
microwave oven with wet newspapers,
clothes, toys, electric devices, pets or
children inside.)

 It can be the cause of serious damage

and safety risks causing fire, burns,
electric shock or death.

manufacturer about problems that you do not understand.

3. The appliance and its accessible parts
become hot during use. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating
elements. Children less than 8 years of
age shall be kept away unless
continuously supervised.

4. The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons. Only
allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions
have been given so that the child is able
to use the oven in a safe way and
understands the hazards of improper
use.

 Improper use may cause damage and

safety concerns such as a fire, an electric
shock or burns.

5. Accessible parts may become hot during
use. Young children should be kept
away.

 Failing to do so could cause serious burns.

6. Liquids or other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they
are liable to explode. Remove the plastic
wrapping from food before cooking or
defrosting. Note though that in some
cases food should be covered with
plastic film, for heating or cooking.

 Never heat bottles or fluid containers with

the lids fitted as they will explode.

This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. Always contact your
service agent or manufacturer about problems that you do not understand.

4. Please ensure cooking times are correctly
set Small amounts of food require
shorter cooking or heating time.

 The over cooking may result in the food

catching fire and subsequent damage to
your oven.

Note:

Excessive cooking times and
temperatures can cause a build up of
condensation behind the door glass.
The settings should readjusted to reduce
either the cooking time or power. The
condensation will disappear shortly after
the cooking has stopped.

5. When heating liquids, e.g. soups,
sauces and beverages in your
microwave oven,

* Avoid using straight sided containers

with narrow necks.
* Do not overheat.
* Stir the liquid before placing the

container in the oven and again

halfway through the heating time.
* After heating, allow to stand in the

oven for a short time, stir them again

carefully and check the temperature

of them before consumption to avoid

burns (especially, contents of feeding

bottles and baby food jars).

bottom or side of the oven. Don’t block
the outlet.

 It could result in damage to your oven

and poor cooking results.

Never heat bottles, fluid or beverage
containers with the lids fitted. Doing so
will cause them to explode.

7. Do not operate the oven when empty. It
is best to leave a glass of water in the
oven when not in use. The water will
safely absorb all microwave energy, if
the oven is accidentally started.

 Improper use could result in damage to

your oven.

8. Do not cook food wrapped in paper
towels, unless your cook book contains
instructions for the food you are cooking.
And do not use newspaper in place of
paper towels for cooking.

placing it in water just after cooking.
This may cause breakage or
deformation.

 Improper use could result in damage to

your oven.

12. Be certain to place the oven so the front
of the door is 8 cm or more behind the
edge of the surface on which it is
placed, to avoid accidental tipping of
the appliance.

disposable containers of plastic, paper
or other combustible materials, keep an
eye on the oven due to the possibillity
of ignition and check it frequently.

 Disposable containers may weaken and

crack due to deterioration which may cause
liquids to leak and cause damage or fire.

may be high when the appliance is
operating. Do not touch the oven door,
outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity,
accessories and dishes during grill
mode, convection mode and auto cook

operations, before clearing make sure
they are not hot.

 As they will become hot, there is the

danger of a burn unless wearing thick
oven gloves.

This oven is not suitable for a built in
application. It is intended for bench top
application. Installation in a closed
cabinet will compromise airflow and
may cause fire or damage to the oven
and cabinetry.

recommended for this oven (for
appliances having a facility to use a
temperature-sensing probe).

 You can not ascertain that the

temperature is accurate with an
unsuitable temperature probe.

21. During use of heating element cooking
functions, the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.

 Failing to do so will cause serious burns.

22. Follow exact directions given by each
manufacturer for their popcorn product.
Do not leave the oven unattended while
the corn is being popped. If corn fails to
pop after the suggested times,
discontinue cooking. Never use a
brown paper bag for popping corn.
Never attempt to pop leftover kernels.

 Overcooking could result in the corn

catching fire.
