Common Problems

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Food cools quickly after

Microwave or Combination

cooking.

Foods take longer to cook, defrost

or reheat than stated.

Liquids boil over when cooked by

microwave or combination.

Vegetables become wrinkly and

hard when cooked/reheated by

microwave.

Foods heat unevenly.

Only one side of cavity heats.

Foods heated by microwave are

hard and tough.

Foods “explode” during heating.

Foods that have been defrosted

do not heat in the centre.

Return to oven for additional cooking.

Check oven is plugged into its own

13amp socket. Do not use extension

cable or adapters.

The stated times are only a guide.

Heating will be improved with the use of

correct containers and arranging.

Remember to vary the heating, if the

food is colder or heavier than stated.

Ensure the oven is cleaned regularly.

Use a container twice the volume of the

liquid.

Allow standing time when cooking and

slightly undercook vegetables, if they

are to be reheated.

Arrange foods, so that thicker parts are

on the outside of the plate and smaller

foods to the centre. Do not heat very

dense foods with porous foods as the

later will heat faster.

Rearrange foods as above. It is

impossible for only one side of the

cavity to receive microwaves as the

energy is distributed by a rotating guide.

if the magnetron is no longer working

all food will remain cold.

Reduce the time or power with more

delicate foods.

Reduce power level.

Pierce skins on foods to release

pressure build up during heating.

NEVER try to boil eggs in shells.

Check that foods are between 1-4˚C

before going on to reheat. If the edges

of the food are getting too warm shield

with foil.

(See page 42.)

CAUSE

Food insufficiently heated.

Oven not receiving enough

power.

Food type, size, weight,

temperature not exactly as

stated.

Oven dirty and food debris is

absorbing the microwave

energy.

Containers too small.

Vegetables over-cooked.

Foods incorrectly arranged or

incompatible foods are being

heated together.

Foods incorrectly arranged.

Foods overcooked.

Power level too high.

Skins of foods i.e potatoes,

chicken are not pierced.

Foods have not been

sufficiently defrosted or

allowed to stand before

reheating.

This section tries to solve any common problems you may have. Remember to always keep your Operating

Guide on hand for reference.
