IX. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Why is the light in the MW oven not on?
Answer: Bulb filament is burnt.
Question: Why is there steam coming out of the openings and why is there water
dripping from the bottom part of the door?
Answer: Emergence of steam during cooking is normal. The MW oven is equipped with
ventilation openings through which the steam goes out. Sometimes the steam may
condensate on the door and then water starts dripping from the bottom part of the door.
It is utterly normal and safe.
Question: Can the microwave energy penetrate the door window?
Answer: No! Metal shielding reflects the energy back into the oven. Openings and inlets
enable light to pass through but not MW energy.
Question: Why do eggs sometimes burst?
Answer: When baking or cooking eggs the yolk may burst because there is steam
emerging in the yolk membrane. To avoid this, pierce the egg with a toothpick before
cooking. Never cook eggs without piercing the shell!
Question: Why is there lag time recommended after the cooking ends?
Answer: The lag time is very important. When cooking food in MW oven, heat emerges in
the food, not in the oven. There emerges enough inner heat in many foods to continue the
process of cooking even after removing the food from the oven. The purpose of the lag
time with bigger pieces of meat, bigger pieces of vegetable and pies is to enable the inside
of the food to cook through evenly without over-cooking the outer parts.
Question: Why does the microwave oven not always cook as fast as the instructions
for preparing food state?
Answer: Read the recipe once again to make sure that you have kept all instructions
thoroughly and learn what may have caused the difference in preparation times.
Preparation times and set temperatures are recommended values which should prevent
over-cooking which is one of the most common problems of beginners when using the
MW oven. Differences in terms of size, shape, weight, dimensions and temperature of
the food will require longer or shorter time of preparation. Use your own judgment and
recommended values to verify if the food has been prepared thoroughly just you would
have prepared it with conventional cooking.
Question: Why is there sparkling and crackling (electric arc) in the MW oven?
Answer: You are using dishes with metal parts or decorations (silver or gold). You left a fork
or another metal object in the oven. You are using too much of metal foil. You are using
metal clips. There are remains of food in the MW oven.
X. MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the el. outlet by pulling the fork of the supply cord from the
socket before maintenance! Keep the inner surfaces of the MW clean and dry in order
that no sediments of grease and food particles occurs. In general the MW oven should be
cleaned every time it has been used.
Inner walls
Remove all remains of food between door and MW oven with a damp cloth. This area
must be cleaned very thoroughly in order that the door can be closed properly. Remove all
grease stains with a damp cloth then wipe and dry the walls.
