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.
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.
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is
cooking?
2. Does the turntable rotate?
3. Does the cooling fan work?...

TROUBLESHOOTING
ANSWER
When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity.
The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so
steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface.
The amount of steam produced depends on the water content of the food
being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes have a high moisture content.
Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few...
