Frequently Asked Questions - MIG 20 Scandomestic

Can I use metal utensils in the microwave?

No, metal or metal-trimmed utensils can cause arcing and damage the oven. Use only microwave-safe materials.

How do I test if a utensil is microwave-safe?

Place the utensil next to a microwave-safe cup of water (250 ml) and heat on maximum power for 1 minute. If the utensil feels warm, do not use it.

What should I do if the oven doesn't start?

Check that the power cord is plugged in tightly. If it is, unplug it and plug it again after 10 seconds. Also check the fuse or circuit breaker and try another appliance in the same outlet.

Why does the glass turntable make noise?

Noise may be due to a dirty roller rest at the bottom of the oven. Clean the roller rest and the bottom of the oven to solve the issue.

Can I heat eggs in the shell?

No, eggs in the shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in a microwave oven as they may explode, even after heating has ended.

What is the proper way to clean the microwave?

Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Wipe the inside with a slightly damp cloth. Clean accessories in soapy water. Keep the door frame and seals clean.

Can I use aluminum foil in the microwave?

Yes, but only in small smooth pieces to shield thin parts of meat or poultry. The foil must be at least 2.5 cm away from oven walls to prevent arcing.

Why does steam accumulate on the door?

During cooking, steam may escape from vents and accumulate on cooler surfaces like the door. This is normal and harmless.

What is the minimum clearance required for installation?

Leave a minimum of 7.5 cm between the oven and adjacent walls. One side must be open. Allow at least 30 cm of space above the oven.

What should I do if the microwave starts accidentally with no food inside?

Do not run the microwave empty as it can damage the magnetron. If it happens accidentally, set the timer to 0 immediately and unplug if needed.

To Reduce the Risk of Injury to Persons

Grounding Installation

DANGER

Electric Shock Hazard. Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.

CLEANING

Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.

1 Clean the inside of the oven after using with a slightly damp cloth.
2 Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
3 The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.

Two-round-pin plug

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Line drawing of a plug with two leads (no text or symbols)

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.

1 A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2 If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- The extension cord must be a groundingtype 3-wire cord.
- The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

UTENSILS

CAUTION Personal Injury Hazard

It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person

to carry out any service or repair operation that involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

See the instructions on "Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in microwave oven."

There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question following the procedure below.

Utensil Test:

1 Fill a microwave-safe container with 1 cup of cold water (250ml) along with the utensil in question.
