Q: What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A: There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light bulb has burned out or START has not been
pressed.
Q: Why do eggs sometimes burst?
A: The egg yolk may burst because of steam build-up inside the membrane. Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before
cooking it. Never microwave eggs in the shell as they may explode.
Q: How is boiling over avoided?
A: Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.

• Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave
energy. It is important not to try and override or tamper with the safety interlocks.
• Carefully clean door seals and sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no
damage to the, (1) door (i.e. door is not bent or dented), (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened), (3) door seals and sealing
surfaces.
• Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check the oven frequently to avoid any possibility of ignition.
• Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the
container.
• If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance immediately and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
• Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode.
• If the door or door seals are damaged the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a trained person.
• Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Bulb replacement
If the interior light bulb fails, it can be easily replaced by a qualified service engineer. Do not attempt to remove the outer casing
as this will expose live components. Please consult a qualified service engineer.
