Microwaves are high- requency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While
radio waves may vary in length rom 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 ood to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that
cooks the ood. This is why your ood will come out o the microwave piping hot, when
your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do not stay in the air or
in the ood when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven 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 o the oven is lined with metal. The
door is lined with a ine 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.
Be ore you use your microwave oven
1 Remove all the packaging. Do not remove the small piece o card rom the
right hand side o the cavity wall. This is called a wave-guide cover and allows
the microwaves to pass through to cook the ood.
2 Check the oven a ter unpacking or any visual damage such as:
●a misaligned door
●damage to the door
●dents or holes in the door window and screen
●dents in the inside
●I you can see any damage do not use the oven
This microwave oven weighs approximately 12.5kg so you must put it on a horizontal
sur ace that is strong enough to support this weight.
The oven must be placed away rom high temperatures and steam.
Do not put anything on the top o the microwave oven.
Only use the accessories supplied by the manu acturer.
