While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres.) Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but cause water molecules in food to vibrate.

  • Page 29 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Potential reason 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'.
  • Page 30 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Potential reason Potential solution By the very nature of how a microwave works, it ‘excites’ the water molecules in the food it is heating, causing them to move about and generate heat from within the food. Often when the food heats up it reaches the point where steam is released.

Glass turntable fitted correctly on the turntable and is not stopping the door incorrectly from shutting correctly. Door not shutting/ If the microwave is within its warranty period, please locking 2.
