Frozen food needs longer heating time than common food. As the microwave cavity is smaller it will retain a higher level of humidity, larger humidity levels result in shorter cooking time. As the microwave can only penetrate 2-4cm into the food, the thickness of the food will influence the cooking time. Food temperature Food moisture Food shape Food density Heating times are different between dense food (meats) and loose(peas) food. The former requires longer time. The selected power level of the microwave is a certain value, and will not change along with the quantity of the food. Therefore larger quantity of food requires longer cooking time. Bones have quicker heat transmission, and fats absorb more energy. Therefore please pay attention to the overheat possibility in cooking the meat with bones and fats. The production of heat and vapour can be reduced by placing the food into a container with a cover, this will shorten the cooking time. Please form the food in circular shape during cooking, and avoid piling up as far as possible. It can improve the evenness. When cooking Iiquid food like the soap, juice or beverage etc., stir it slightly before and during cooking. Seal the food with freshness-preserve film to avoid splashing and contaminating the cavity. It can also preserve the moisture and nutrition. When the food is removed from the microwave oven, the inside of the food is still heating. Place it aside for some time. Take the factor of duration into consideration. Food quantity Bone and fat Add cover Settle Stir Seal Lay aside 13 Maintenance * Repair Maintenance: Frequently cleaning and maintenance can guarantee normal performance of the microwave oven. Be sure to switch off the power before cleaning. Do not use detergent and materials containing metal to clean the cavity and door. alkaline acid detergent detergent forbidden combustible detergent forbidden whitener forbidden Use soapy water to clean the shell, and wipe it with soft cloth. Use wet cloth to clean food scraps on the door door seal and inside the cavity. Use wet cloth soaked with soapy water to clean the other deposits Keep the inner side of the door clean. Keep it free from food scraps. Take it out at least once per week, put into water to clean, to prevent deposits from corroding the rotary wheel. Note that the power supply cable shall not be damaged or broken. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacter,its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Remarks: If the microwave oven is to be idle for a long time, please clean thoroughly each part of the oven to avoid rusting. Warning If the microwave oven appears abnormal or is damaged, do not use it any more before it is repaired by professional technicians. 14 Answers to Questions Answers to questions Why is the lamp not on? Why is the vapor emitted from the air discharge outlet? Why is there water overflowing below the door? Can the microwave leak from the view window of the door? If start the microwave oven without load of food, will it damage the oven? Why does the food need to be laid aside after cooking? 1. The lamp has failed. 2. The timer is not set. It is normal that the vapor may emit during cooking. Sometimes the vapor will condensed into water and flow out. It is normal phenomenon. No. The metal shelter can reflect the energy back into the oven. The view window only allows harmless light to pass through. The microwave energy can not pass through. Yes. NEVER do that. It is important to lay the food aside for several minutes. Cooking by microwave oven makes the food retrain heat inside. After you take out the food from the oven, the inside of the food will continue heating for 2-3 minutes. It can assist the cooking the joint of the food, vegetables or cookies completely outside the oven by laying aside. Check the user's manual. Confirm that you follow the instruction completely. Find out the reason for setting different times. The setting of cooking time is only for reference. To avoid excess cooking, you shall learn the technology of cooking with microwave. The volume, weight and shape of the food can all influence the cooking. Take the instruction as reference, and learn it independently. It may be owing to following:l. Dishware with metal part is used (including gold and silver); 2. Fork or other metal dishware are left in the oven; 3. Too much metallic foil are used; 4. Metallic thread is used to bind the food. cause excess microwave leakage: 1. Improper installation of the magnetron on the wave guide 2. Improper adjusting of the door hook, door body and up/down hinges 3. Door body and shell are damaged The above problems can cause excess microwave leakage Why is it not so quick as stated in the manual to cook with my microwave oven? Why is there sparking or cracking sound during cooking sometimes? In maintenance, the technicians shall pay attention that: Components that are easy to dismantled and likely to touch voltage above 240V: 1. Magnetron 2. High-voltage transformer 3. High-voltage capacitor 4. High-voltage diode 5. AK rectifier Components that may Microwave radiation Do not expose yourself to the radiation of the microwave generator or other components that transfer the microwave energy. 15 After-sales Service After-sales service 1.
