Common Problems
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Dishes get hot.
Condensation appears in the
cavity and door.
Steam is expelled from around
the door.
Smoke appears around the door
when grilling.
The ceramic cavity base cracks.
This is normal, particularly in covered
dishes. Remove lids/film carefully to
prevent steam burns.
Carry out the dish test given with
Glossary of Terms. Do not use
unsuitable dishes.
This is normal and an excellent way of
heating the plate !
This is normal and the condensation
should be wiped off a soft cloth.
Ensure air vents are not blocked.
This is normal. The intricate workings
of the door safety devices will prevent
the escape of microwave energy but
not steam or cooking smells.
Stop the oven and drain away all excess
fat and juices. Watch the food carefully
as it grills. Ensure the cavity ceiling is
cleaned regularly.
Be careful to place the food carefully on
the base of the cavity. Do not slam or
drop the food: the base is made from
ceramic not painted metal.
CAUSE
Steam trapped within
container transferring heat to
dish.
The dish is absorbing the
microwave energy.
If the “Preheat” function is in
operation, the dish will absorb
some of the residual heat in
the cavity.
Food is heating faster than
the steam can be expelled.
The steam is finding an exit
from cavity.
Fat from foods is splashing on
to the grill elements and
burning.
Operator mis-use.
