Potential solution
Spillages or splashes can burn and catch
fire, all food that is put into the microwave
should be appropriately covered. All
spillages or splashes must be cleaned, and
all areas of microwave cleaned after each
use.
Burnt on food debris in the microwave,
on the waveguide and the behind the
waveguide can cause the microwave to
'spark'. This is because burnt on debris
can be focused on by the microwaves and
spark.
Microwaves must be thoroughly cleaned
after every use to ensure no food is burnt
on to any part of the microwave.
No metal or foil should be put inside a
microwave as it can cause 'sparking' which
can damage the microwave.
The only metal accessories that should be
used inside the microwave are the ones
supplied by the manufacturer.
Food with none porous skins (potatoes for
example), must be pierced to allow steam
to escape. As the build up of pressure
can cause food to burst and create a 'fire
hazard'.
Microwaves cannot be run empty,
microwaves need moisture to operate
correctly.
If microwaves are operated empty or
are used to heat up plates (this is not
permitted), the microwaves can focus on a
single point inside the microwave. This can
cause a heat spot, which can cause the
area to become deformed, warped or start
to melt.
If microwaves are operated empty or to
heat up foreign objects this will void the
warranty.
