WARNING:
Inspect the Oven:
• Check the oven carefully for damage
• Check the oven carefully for damage
before and regularly after installation.
• Make sure the door closes properly,
that it is not misaligned or warped.
• Check the hinges and door safety
latches are not broken or loose.
• Ensure the door seal and sealing surfaces
are not damaged. If the door or door

MAFF HEATING CATEGORY
The heating category (a letter A to E) developed
by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Food) with microwave oven and food manufacturers
indicates the ability of the oven to heat small
quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does
not represent the general performance of the oven.

HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those
used for TV and radio signals.

Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via
a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering
the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because
of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there
is a fine metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the
sides of the oven cavity at random.

The outer areas of the food are heated by the

centre by conduction, as it does in conventional
cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir
food to ensure even heating.
