Lower temperature requires longer cooking time. Frozen
food needs longer heating time than common food.
As the microwave cavity is smaller it will retain a higher level of
humidity, larger humidity levels result in shorter cooking time.
As the microwave can only penetrate 2-4cm into the food,
the thickness of the food will influence the cooking time.
Heating times are different between dense food
(meats) and loose(peas) food. The former requires
longer time.
The selected power level of the microwave is a certain value, and
will not change along with the quantity of the food. Therefore larger
quantity of food requires longer cooking time.
Bones have quicker heat transmission, and fats absorb more
energy. Therefore please pay attention to the overheat
possibility in cooking the meat with bones and fats.
The production ofheat and vapour can be reduced by
placing the food into a containerwith a cover, this will
shorten the cookingtime.
Please form the food in circular shape during cooking,
and avoid piling up as far as possible. It can improve
the evenness.
When cooking Iiquid food like the soap, juice or
beverage etc., stir it slightly before and during cooking.
Seal the food with freshness-preserve film to avoid
splashing and contaminating the cavity. It can also
preserve the moisture and nutrition.
When the food is removed from the microwave oven, the
inside of the food is still heating. Place it aside for some time.
Take the factor of duration into consideration.

Answers to questions
Why is the lamp not on?
Why is the vapor emitted from
the air discharge outlet?
Why is there water overflowing
below the door?
Can the microwave leak from
the view window of the door?
If start the microwave oven
without load of food, will it
damage the oven?
Why does the food need to be
laid aside after cooking?
Why is it not so quick as stated
in the manual to cook with my
microwave oven?
Why is there sparking or
cracking sound during cooking
sometimes?
In maintenance, the technicians shall pay attention that:
Components that are easy to dismantled and cause excess microwave leakage:
likely to touch voltage above 240V: 1. Improper installation of the magnetron on the
1. Magnetron wave guide
2. High-voltage transformer 2. Improper adjusting of the door hook, door body
3. High-voltage capacitor and up/down hinges
4. High-voltage diode 3. Door body and shellare damaged
5. AKrectifier The above problems can cause excess
Components that may microwave leakage
Microwave radiation
Do not expose yourself to the radiation ofthe microwave generator or
other components that transfer themicrowave energy.
1. The lamp has failed.
2. The timer is not set.
It is normal that the vapor may emit during cooking.
Sometimes the vapor will condensed into waterand flow
out. It is normal phenomenon.
No. The metal shelter can reflect the energyback into the
oven. The view window only allows harmless light to pass
through. The microwave energy can not pass through.
Yes. NEVER dothat.
It is important to lay the food aside for several minutes.
Cooking by microwave oven makes the foodretrain heat
inside. After you take out the food from the oven, the inside
of the food willcontinue heating for 2-3 minutes. It can
assist the cookingthe joint ofthe food, vegetables or
cookies completely outside the oven by laying aside.
Check the user's manual. Confirm that you follow the
instruction completely. Find out the reason for setting
different times. The setting of cooking timeis only for
reference. To avoid excess cooking,you shall learn the
technology of cooking with microwave. The volume, weight
and shape of the food can all influencethe cooking. Take
the instruction as reference, and learn it independently.
It may be owing to following:l. Dishware with metalpart is
used (including goldand silver);
2. Fork or other metal dishware are left inthe oven;
3. Too much metallic foil are used;
4. Metallic thread is used to bind the food.
