Microwaves  are  high-frequency  electromagnetic  waves  similar  to  radio  waves. 
While  radio  waves  may  vary  in  length  from  one  metre  to  many  kilometers, 
microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres). Microwaves do not make 
any  heat  themselves  but  only  cause  water  molecules  in  food  to  vibrate.  This 
vibration produces heat that cooks the food. This is why your food will come out of 
the microwave piping hot, when your utensils inside the  oven stay much cooler. 
The  microwaves  do  not  stay  in  the  air  or  in  the  food  when  you  open  the 
microwave oven door. 
 
The  microwave  oven  will  work  using  an  ordinary  household  electrical  socket. 
Inside  the  microwave  oven  is  the  magnetron,  which  turns  the  electrical  energy 
into microwaves. Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven 
is  lined  with  metal.  The  door  is  lined  with  a  fine  metal  mesh  which  stops 
microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven door is 
shut,  there  is  no  possibility  that  microwaves  can  be  released.  This  is  why  the 
microwave oven has been made so that it will not work when the door is open. 
 
Before you use your microwave oven 

1.  Remove  all  the  packaging.  Do  not  remove  the  small  piece  of  card  from  the 

right hand side of the cavity wall. This is called a wave-guide cover and allows the 
microwaves to pass through to cook the food. 

2.  Check the oven after unpacking for any visual damage such as 

 

A misaligned door 

 

Damage to the door 

 

Dents or holes in the door window and screen 

 

Dents in the inside 

 

If you can see any damage 

do not

 use the oven. 

 
This  microwave  oven  weighs  approximately  13.6kg  so  you  must  put  it  on  a 
horizontal surface that is strong enough to support this weight. 
The oven must be placed away from high temperatures and steam. 
Do not put anything on the top of the microwave oven. 
Only use the accessories supplied by the manufacturer.
