Q
Does the microwave energy get through
the window on the door?
A
No. The door has a special metal screen with holes
in that lets you see inside but stops microwave
energy from getting out.
Q
Steam comes out of the side of the door
and vents. Can microwave energy get out
too?
A
No. The door and vents are carefully designed to
let steam out during cooking but keep microwave
energy in. The gaps are not big enough for
microwave energy to escape.
Q
What happens if the microwave is
switched on while the oven is empty?
A
The microwave will be damaged. Don't switch the
microwave on when there's nothing inside the oven.
It's a good idea to keep a cup of water in the oven
just in case someone accidentally starts the
microwave.
Q
Why won't the oven light come on?
A
Open the door. If the light doesn't come on, the
bulb has probably blown. Call a qualified repairer
– don't try to change the bulb yourself.
Q
There are sparks inside the oven when I
use the microwave. Will this cause any
damage?
A
Yes. Make sure that you are not using any metal
utensils and that your containers don't have a metal
trim. You must not use metal in your microwave,
except foil, when you cook.
Q
Light is showing through the vents and
door. Does this mean the microwave
energy can escape?
A
No. It's normal for the light to be visible and is
nothing to be concerned about.
Q
Why do I get interference on my TV and
radio when I use the microwave?
A
Microwave ovens use radio waves similar to those
received by TVs and radios. You can lessen the
interference by moving your microwave further
away from the TV or radio.
