Your Swan 800W Retro Digital Microwave is designed for everyday convenience and efficiency in the kitchen. Here's how to get the most out of its performance:
Quick Reheating: For last night's leftovers, simply place them in a microwave-safe dish, select a power level (e.g., full power for quick heat, lower power for gentler warming), and set the timer. The 800W power ensures efficient reheating.
Effortless Meal Prep: Ready meals can be cooked to perfection. The 20-litre capacity easily fits most standard ready meal trays, and the 270mm turntable ensures even heating.
Smart Defrosting: If you've forgotten to take chicken breasts or ground meat out of the freezer, the dedicated defrost function will thaw them quickly and safely without cooking them, preparing them for your recipe.
One-Touch Cooking: Utilize the 12 pre-set cooking options for common items like popcorn, potatoes, or beverages. For example, to make popcorn, simply place the bag inside, select the popcorn pre-set, and let the microwave determine the optimal time and power.
Custom Control: Need to soften butter or melt chocolate? Use a lower power level for short durations. The 5 power levels give you precise control for delicate tasks.
Family-Sized Portions: The generous 20-litre interior and rotating turntable mean you can heat a full-sized dinner plate, making it ideal for individual servings or heating multiple smaller items simultaneously (e.g., two mugs of soup).
Getting your Swan Retro Digital Microwave ready for use and maintaining it is straightforward.
Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials, including any internal packing from the microwave cavity and off the turntable.
Placement: Position the microwave on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is adequate ventilation space around the unit (typically 10-15 cm around the sides and back, and 30 cm above). Do not place it directly against a wall or in an enclosed cabinet.
Turntable Assembly: Place the turntable ring in the center of the microwave cavity, then place the glass turntable plate securely on top of the ring.
Power Connection: Plug the microwave into a standard, grounded electrical outlet (220-240V, 50Hz for most regions).
Electrical: This microwave is compatible with standard household electrical outlets. Always ensure your outlet's voltage matches the product specifications.
Cookware: Use only microwave-safe dishes. Metal containers, foil, or dishes with metallic trim are not suitable and can cause arcing. Refer to your cookware's labels for microwave safety.
Interior Cleaning: Regularly wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, especially after spills or splatters. For stubborn food residue, place a bowl of water with lemon slices inside and microwave for 2-3 minutes, then wipe clean. Ensure the microwave is unplugged before cleaning.
Turntable Cleaning: The glass turntable and roller ring can be removed and washed in warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the finish.
Door Seal: Keep the door seal clean to ensure a proper closure and efficient operation.
Odor Removal: To eliminate lingering odors, place a bowl of water with a few drops of lemon juice or a tablespoon of baking soda inside and microwave on high for a few minutes.
