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.
Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such
as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See 'Suitable
Cookware' on page GB-26).
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which
cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction,
in the same way your hands get warm when you rub
them together.
The outer areas of the food are heated by the micro-
wave energy, then the heat moves to the centre by
conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically
stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables
the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

SUITABLE OVENWARE
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you think the oven is not working properly there
are some simple checks you can carry out yourself
before calling an engineer. This will help prevent
unnecessary service calls if the fault is something
simple.
WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the
oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other
than a SHARP trained engineer to carry out
servicing or repairs.
This is important as it may involve the removal
of covers that provide protection against
microwave energy.
Follow this simple check below:
Place half a cup of water on the turntable and close
the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute
using 100% microwave power.
•
The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven
operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is
normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air
around the oven door. Food with a high moisture
content will release steam and cause condensation
inside the door which may drip from the oven.
Repairs and Modifications: Do not attempt to
operate the oven if it is not working properly.
Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the
outer cabinet. This is very dangerous due to high
voltage parts inside which must never be touched,
as this could be fatal.
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?
