Frequently Asked Questions - K17MSB14E KENWOOD

Why doesn't the food seem to cook?

Check that the cooking time has been set, the door is closed, and the mains socket is not overloaded causing a blown fuse.

Why does food appear undercooked or overcooked?

Ensure the correct cooking time and power setting are used. Different foods may require adjustments based on weight and density.

How can I prevent eggs from popping in the microwave?

Pierce the yolk with a toothpick before cooking. Never cook eggs in their shells.

Why is standing time important after microwave cooking?

Food continues to cook from internal heat after removal. Standing time allows for even cooking and heat distribution.

Why does my microwave sometimes take longer than recipe suggests?

Cooking times are guidelines; actual time varies with food weight, size, shape, and starting temperature. Use judgment to check doneness.

Why is there condensation inside the door?

Condensation is normal, especially with high-moisture foods like potatoes. It results from steam cooling.

Can microwave energy escape through the door window?

No. The window has a metal screen with holes that lets you see inside but blocks microwave energy.

What happens if the microwave is operated empty?

Operating empty can damage the microwave. Always keep a cup of water inside to avoid accidental empty operation.

Why do I see sparks inside the microwave?

Sparks indicate metal objects or utensils with metal trim. Remove them immediately. Only use microwave-safe materials and approved aluminum foil.

Why does my TV or radio get interference when the microwave is on?

Microwaves use radio waves similar to TV/radio signals. Move the microwave farther away from the affected device to reduce interference.

getting ready

This microwave is designed for home use only. It should not be used for commercial catering.

1. After unpacking your microwave, check that it has not been damaged whilst in the box. Make sure there are no dents, and the door closes properly. A damaged microwave could allow microwave energy to escape. Make sure that you have taken out all the packaging from the inside of the microwave. Please dispose of the plastic wrappings / bags safely and keep out of the reach of babies and young children.
2. Choose a flat, stable work surface for your microwave away from heat sources such as radiators or fires and away from cold areas. The surface should be at least 85cm above the floor. You should allow a 20 cm space all around the microwave and 30 cm above so that warm air can escape from the vents during cooking. This microwave is not designed to be built in. Do not block any intake or outlet openings as this can damage the unit.
3. Plug your microwave into a standard household electrical socket (230V\~, 13 amp rated). Avoid using a socket that also has an adapter and other equipment plugged in. Do not use a multi-adapter.
4. Put the turntable support inside the microwave and place the glass turntable plate on top of the support. The turntable support is shaped to sit securely on the spindle. You must always use the turntable plate and support whenever you use the microwave.
5. To protect your work surface, we recommend that you fix some non-slip cushion buttons (not included) to the underside of the microwave.

• Remove the turntable plate and turntable support before turning the microwave upside down.
• Do not remove the unit's feet.

introducing microwave cooking

Always remember the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking equipment or handling hot food.

This page gives some of the basic guidelines for microwave cooking.

cooking with a microwave

Cooking with a microwave is much faster than conventional cooking and, whilst you should make sure that food is fully cooked, you should be careful not to overcook it. Food can catch fire if excessive cooking times are used.

• Microwave energy can heat unevenly so stirring to distribute heat is very important. Always stir from the outside, inwards.
• If you are cooking a number of individual foods at the same time, such as baked potatoes or small cakes, arrange them evenly on the turntable plate so that they cook evenly. Never stack food in the microwave.
• Turn larger foods such as meat roasts and poultry during cooking so that the top and bottom cook evenly. It is also recommended to turn pieces of meat or poultry, especially if they have not been deboned.
• Meat and poultry which is cooked for 15 minutes or more will brown lightly in its own fat. Anything cooked for a shorter time can be brushed with a browning sauce to give an appetising colour.

If you are unsure how long the food should cook, begin cooking at the lowest recommended time, then add more time if necessary. The moisture content of food can vary. Ensure food is thoroughly cooked all the way to the centre before serving.

• Strips of aluminium foil can be used to cover the thinner pieces of food to stop them from overcooking before the thicker parts of the food have had the chance to cook. Use the aluminium foil sparingly and wrap around the food or container carefully to stop it from touching the inside of the microwave which could cause sparks.
• Microwaves cook food using microwave energy that is similar to naturally occurring radio waves. Normally, these “waves” would fade as they disappear into the atmosphere but in a microwave they are concentrated on the food causing it to heat up.

- Microwave energy cannot pass through metal – so it cannot escape from the inside of your microwave – but it can pass through materials like glass, porcelain, plastic, and paper. These are the things used to make microwave-safe cooking equipment.

- Microwave-safe cooking equipment will still get hot as the food it contains heats up.

- The microwave energy focuses on the moisture in the food causing lots of tiny vibrations. The vibrations get so great that the moisture – and the food – heat up.

checking your cooking utensils

Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cooking utensils are safe to use in your microwave. If made of plastic or glass, utensils will be marked as “microwave safe” or similar.

If you are not sure and/or there is no “microwave safe” marking on the utensil, do NOT use it in the microwave.

For the types of utensils you can use in the microwave, please see the “Materials That Can Be Used” section.

• Never use equipment made of metal, except aluminium foil in your microwave oven.
• The microwave energy cannot pass through the metal so it bounces off and sparks against the inside of the oven.
• Stop the microwave immediately if any equipment or utensils causes sparks.
• Remember that some crockery has a metal trim around the edge. Even this trim can cause sparks.
• Never use scratched, cracked or damaged glass in a microwave. Damaged glass can explode.

using aluminium foil in your microwave

It is safe to use aluminium foil in your microwave as long as you follow these safety guidelines.

As with all metals, microwave energy cannot pass through aluminium foil, but provided you keep the aluminium foil away from the inside walls of the microwave it will not cause sparks and there will not be any damage to your microwave.

Using aluminium foil is a good way of shielding parts of the food that you do not want to cook as quickly as others – perhaps where the food is narrower and would otherwise overcook.

Place the aluminium foil over the area you want to shield, taking care that the aluminium foil will not touch the inside walls of the microwave when the turntable plate rotates. Only use one piece of aluminium foil at a time so that you do not get sparks between the separate pieces.

Follow these guidelines when using aluminium foil in your microwave:

• Remove aluminium foil lids from containers before using in the microwave. Some lids are made of card with an aluminium foil covering – these should be removed too. Use a microwave-safe transparent lid if possible.
  • Stir food during cooking if the container has a lid or film cover.
  • Always use the glass turntable plate.
• Use shallow containers with a large surface area. Do not use containers that are more than 1.25in (3.5cm) deep.
  • Use gloves when handling any aluminium foil.
• Do not completely cover food with aluminium foil. The microwave energy cannot pass through the aluminium foil so the food will not cook.
• Do not let aluminium foil touch the inside of the microwave.
• Do not use more than one piece of aluminium foil in the microwave at the same time.

utensils remarks
Aluminium foil Shielding	only. Small smooth pieces can be used to cover thin parts of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking. Arcing can occur if the foil is too close to oven walls. The foil should be at least 1 inch (2.5cm) away from oven walls.
Browning dish Follow the	manufacturer's instructions. The bottom of a browning dish must be at least 3/16 inch (5mm) above the turntable. Incorrect usage may cause the turntable to break.
Dinnerware Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Glassware Heat-resistant oven glassware only. Make sure there is no metallic trim.Do not use cracked or chipped dishes.
Oven cooking bags Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not close with metal tie. Make slits to allow steam to escape.
Paper plates and cups Use for short-term cooking/warming only. Do not leave oven unattended while cooking.
Paper towels Use to cover food for reheating and absorbing fat. Use with supervision for short-term cooking only.
Greaseproof paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering or a wrap for steaming.
Plastic Microwave-safe only. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Should be labelled "Microwave Safe". Some plastic containers soften, as the food inside gets hot. "Boiling bags" and tightly closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced or vented as directed by the instructions on their packaging.
Plastic wrap Microwave-safe only. Use to cover food during cooking to retain moisture.Do not allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Thermometers Microwave-safe only (meat and candy thermometers).
Wax paper Use as a cover to prevent splattering and retain moisture.

microwave heating categories

Your oven has been tested and labelled to meet the UK government's voluntary agreement on the reheating of pre-cooked food.

The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwave ovens are usually calculated using a relatively large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 60705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller packs, often about 350 grams.

The UK government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, have set up a system of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.

(IEC 60705) 700W is the output power of the oven.

D is the heating category for your oven.

Check the cooking times for category D on the food's packaging to see how long it should be cooked.

Please see below example for reference.

Power input varies according to local voltage supply. The density, thickness and moisture content of food can affect its cooking time. Ensure all food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

steam

When you microwave food, steam is created as water in the food heats up and evaporates.

The steam formed during microwave cooking is entirely safe. It has to escape from the microwave to prevent pressure from building up inside the microwave. It does this through the vents on the back of the microwave and from around the door.

condensation

As the steam cools, you may find that condensation gathers in small pools inside your microwave and on the work surface beneath the door and vents. Always dry the microwave after cooking foods with a high moisture content.

Your microwave is designed to let steam escape from the vents and around the door without microwave energy escaping. There is no danger of microwave energy escaping with the steam.

cleaning your microwave

Unplug your microwave from the mains and wait for it to completely cool down before cleaning.

Cleaning your microwave each time you use it will help to prevent a build up of stubborn marks that can be difficult to clean.

On the right hand side wall of the cavity is the wave guide cover. Microwaves are passed through this to enable your food to cook. It is important that this wave guide cover is kept clean at all times. Wipe it with mild detergent and water and leave to dry.

The microwave walls have a special enamel coating which makes cleaning very easy. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe off any splashes or a paper towel to mop up any spills. Wipe off grease with a damp cloth and a little detergent. Dry thoroughly. If grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke and even catch fire.

2 Make sure you keep the outlet grids clean.

3 Keep the front of the microwave clean so that the door can close properly.

4 Be careful not to spill water into the vents.

5 Do not remove the wave guide cover: It is important to keep the cover clean in the same manner as the inside of the microwave. If grease is left to accumulate, it can smoke and even catch fire.

6 Keep the inside of the door clean with a damp cloth. Use warm soapy water for stubborn marks and dry thoroughly. The inside of the door has a special coating and must not be cleaned with abrasive pads or cleaning powders.

7 Clean behind the door ledge.
8 Wipe with a damp cloth to clean the outside of the microwave. Do not use abrasive cleaners, pads or powders that could scratch the surface. Dry thoroughly.
9 Unplug the microwave before cleaning the power cord. Wipe with a damp cloth and leave to dry before plugging it back in.
10 Treat the glass turntable plate as you would any glass plate. After you have used it for more than 15 minutes, allow it to cool down before you use it again. Do not wash the glass turntable plate in very hot water, doing so could crack it. Wash the turntable support in warm water. Make sure the glass turntable plate and turntable support are dry before you put them back in the microwave.

Do not remove any fixed parts from the inside of your microwave during cleaning or at any other time.

frequently asked questions

If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following Q & A may be able to resolve the issue.

questions answers
Why doesn't the food seem to cook?	Check that:·the cooking time has been set.·the door is closed.·the mains socket is not overloaded causing the fuse to blow.
Why does the food seem undercooked or overcooked?	Check that:·the correct cooking time has been set.·the correct power setting has been used.
How can I stop eggs from popping?	When you bake or poach eggs in the microwave, the yolk can sometimes pop as steam builds up inside it. You can stop the egg from popping by piercing the yolk with a toothpick before cooking.Never cook eggs that are still in their shells.
Why is it so important that I allow standing time after cooking?	With microwave cooking, many foods build up enough heat inside them to continue cooking even after they've been taken out of the microwave. For a short time after cooking the heated product will continue to cook, leaving products to stand will allow for even cooking and heat distribution.
Why does my microwave sometimes take longer to cook than it says in the recipe?	First check that the microwave was set just as the recipe said. Cooking times and heat settings are suggestions to help prevent overcooking but differences in the weight, size, shape and starting temperature of food will all affect how long it takes to cook – just as it does with a conventional oven. Use your judgement along with the recipe to check whether the food has been cooked properly.
Why do I get condensation on the inside of the door?	Condensation is perfectly normal, especially when you are cooking food with a high moisture content such as potatoes.
Does the microwave energy get through the window on the door?	No. The door has a special metal screen with holes that lets you see inside but stops microwave energy from getting out.
Steam comes out of the side of the door and vents. Can microwave energy get out too?	No. The door and vents are carefully designed to let steam out during cooking but keep microwave energy in.
What happens if the microwave is switched on while the microwave is empty?	The microwave will be damaged. Do not switch the microwave on when there's nothing inside the microwave. It is a good idea to keep a cup of water in the microwave just in case someone accidentally starts the microwave.
Why doesn't the microwave's light illuminate?	Open the door. If the light does not illuminate, the bulb has probably blown. Call a qualified technician – do not try to change the bulb yourself.
There are sparks inside the microwave when I use the microwave. Will this cause any damage?	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 when you cook (except aluminium foil).
Light is showing through the vents and door. Does this mean the microwave energy can escape?	No. It is normal for the light to be visible and is nothing to be concerned about.
Why do I get interference on my TV and radio when I use the microwave?	Microwaves 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.
