FAQs

Radio and TV reception maybe interfered with when microwave oven is operation. It is similar to the interference of small electrical appliances such as food mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.

In low power microwave cooking, oven light may become dim. This is normal.

Although starting the oven with no food in it should be avoided, it does no damage to the oven provided it is only operated empty for a very short time. It is advised that a glass or microwave safe container of water is always left in the oven to absorb any heat should the oven be turned on accidentally.

Problem Cause: 

  • Materials which should be avoided in microwave oven are used. 
  • The oven is operated when empty. 
  • Spilled food remains in the cavity.
Your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up on the inside surface. The accumulated grease /food particles may cause a fire hazard. It's important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use. To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
In cooking, steam may come out of food. Most will come out from vents but some may condense on cool places such as the oven door. This is normal.
Problem Cause: 1. Materials which should be avoided in microwave oven are used. 2. The oven is operated when empty. 3. Spilled food remains in the cavity.
The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.
When cooking with power other than 100%, the oven automatically switches on and off to obtain the correct power output. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal.

In a nut shell, 'yes you do'!

To clean your microwave, do the following after each use:

  • Wipe away any condensation from the walls.
  • Remove any loose debris with a microfiber cloth.
  • Use warm soapy water to clean and avoid harsh abrasives.

If your microwave has condensation on the walls, this is expected if you are cooking something with high moisture content.
After each use you should ensure the walls are wiped down and the door is left ajar to encourage any existing condensation to evaporate.
