Important Information
Before use check that utensils/
containers are suitable for use in
microwave ovens. See pages 32-
33.
Storage of Accessories
Do not store any objects other than
oven accessories inside the oven in
case it is accidentally turned on.
Babies Bottles and Food Jars
When reheating babies bottles
always remove top and teat.
Liquid at the top of the bottle
will be much hotter than that at
the bottom and must be shaken
thoroughly before checking the
temperature. The lid must also be
removed from babies food jars,
Microwaving Principles
Microwaves are present in the
atmosphere all the time, both
naturally and from manmade
sources. Manmade sources
include radar, radio, television,
telecommunication links and mobile
phones.
Oven cavity
Base of
the oven
Stirrer motor

Microwave stirrer
Magnetron
Waveguide
the contents must also be stirred
or shaken before the temperature
is checked. This should be carried
out before consumption in order to
avoid burns. See pages 74-75.
Arcing
Arcing may occur if a metal
container has been used incorrectly,
if the incorrect weight of food is
used, or if the accessories have
been damaged. Arcing is when
blue flashes of light are seen in
the microwave oven. If this occurs,
stop the machine immediately. If
the oven is left unattended and
this continues it can damage the
machine. You can continue to cook
by Grill or Oven only.
In a microwave oven, electricity is
converted into microwaves by the
Magnetron. For bottom feeding,
please refer to page 40.
Reflection
The microwaves bounce off the
metal walls and the metal door
screen.
