Frequently Asked Questions - M317w UPO

What should I do if the microwave oven does not start?

First, ensure the oven is plugged in securely. Check for a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. Make sure the door is fully closed to engage the safety interlocks. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service agent.

Can I use metal containers in this microwave?

No, metal containers or utensils with metal trim should not be used as they can cause sparks and damage the oven. Use only microwave-safe glass, ceramic, or plastic containers.

How do I clean the microwave oven?

Unplug the oven before cleaning. Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not allow water to seep into ventilation openings. The glass tray can be washed in warm soapy water or dishwasher.

Why does food sometimes heat unevenly?

Uneven heating can occur if the food is not arranged properly or if the turntable is not rotating. Make sure the glass tray and roller ring are correctly positioned. Stir food midway for best results.

Is it safe to heat baby food or milk in the microwave?

Yes, but always stir or shake the contents and check the temperature before feeding to avoid burns. Never use sealed containers; they may explode.

What does the Defrost power level do?

The Defrost setting (280 W) uses lower power to gently thaw frozen foods without cooking them. It is suitable for meats, poultry, and fish. For best results, turn food occasionally.

Can I use the microwave empty?

No, operating the oven empty can damage it. Always have food or liquid inside when the microwave is on.

How do I remove odors from the microwave?

Place a bowl of water with lemon juice and lemon peel inside. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, then wipe dry with a soft cloth. This will eliminate most odors.

What should I do if the microwave causes interference with my TV or radio?

Interference can be reduced by cleaning the door and sealing surfaces, moving the radio/TV away from the microwave, or using a properly installed antenna. The microwave operates on 2450 MHz.

How much space should I leave around the microwave for ventilation?

Leave at least 5 cm on both sides, 10 cm at the rear, and 20 cm above the oven. Do not block the ventilation openings; this is essential for safe operation.

IMPORTANT-COOKWARE NOT TO USE IN YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

• Do not use metal pans or dishes with metal handles.
• Do not use anything with metal trim.
• Do not use paper covered wire twist-ties on plastic bags.
• Do not use melamine dishes as they contain a material which will absorb microwave energy. This may cause the dishes to crack or char and will slow down the cooking speed.
• Do not use Centura Tableware. The glaze is not suitable for microwave use. Corelle Livingware closed handle cups should not be used.
• Do not cook in a container with a restricted opening, such as a pop bottle or salaed oil bottle, as they may explode if heated in a microwave oven.
• Do not use conventional meat or candy thermometers.

• There are the thermometers available specifically for microwave cooking. These may be used.

• Microwave utensils should be used only in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

• Do not attempt to deep-fry foods in this oven.

• Please remember that a microwave oven only heats the liquid in a container rather than the container itself. Therefore, even though the lid of a container is not hot to the touch when removed from the oven, please remember that the food/liquid inside will be releasing the same amount of steam and/or spitting when the lid is removed as in conventional cooking.

• Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself especially if you are heating or cooking food/liquid for babies. It is advisable never to consume food/liquid straight from the oven but allow it to stand for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute heat evenly.

• Food containing a mixture of fat and water, e.g. stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling when a spoon is placed in the food/liquid or a stock cube is added.

• When preparing/cooking food/liquid and remember that there are certain foods, e.g. Christmas puddings, jam and mincemeat, which heat up very quickly. When heating or cooking foods with a high fat or sugar content do not use plastic containers.

• Cooking utensil may become hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders may be needed to handle the utensil.

• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a) Do not overcook food. Carefully attend microwave oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

b) Remove wire twist-ties from bags before placing bag in oven.

c) If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn the oven off at the wall switch, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
