Steam; Condensation; Checking Your Microwave - Sandstrom S20MB10E Instruction Manual

Steam

When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.
The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to
prevent pressure from building up inside the oven. It does this through the vents on the back of the
microwave and from around the door.

Condensation

As the steam cools, you may find the condensation
gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on the
work surface beneath the door and vents. Always dry
the microwave after cooking foods with a high moisture
content.
Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the
vents and around the door without microwave energy
escaping. There is no danger of microwave energy
GB
escaping with the steam.

Checking your Microwave

Check your microwave after unpacking.
For your safety, the microwave stops if the
oven door is opened during cooking. Close
the door and press the Menu / Time dial to
continue the cooking cycle.
1. Push the button to open the oven door. Put
the turntable ring inside the oven and place
the glass turntable on top of the ring.
The inner ring of the turntable is shaped to sit
securely on the spindle.
You must always use the glass turntable
and turntable ring whenever you use the
microwave.
Place a cup of water on the glass turntable.
Make sure the cup is microwave safe - it
should not have any decorative metal trim.
2. Close the oven door.
3. Press the Stop / Cancel button to clear any
settings that have already been made.
4. Press the Menu / Time dial once to start a
simple 30-second microwave cooking cycle
and that allows you to check the operation of
the microwave oven.
5. When the cooking cycle has finished, the
water should be hot (be careful when you take
the cup out of the microwave). Press the Stop
/ Cancel button to clear any settings.
