The VonShef Fika Microwave is engineered for straightforward, everyday tasks, making your food preparation faster and more convenient. Its 700W power is suitable for reheating, defrosting, and cooking smaller meals or snacks.
For reheating leftovers like pasta, soup, or a roast dinner, place the food in a microwave-safe dish. Select a high power setting using the Power dial, and set the Timer for 1-3 minutes initially. Use the internal light to monitor progress and adjust the time as needed.
The dedicated defrost setting is incredibly handy for those times you forget to take food out of the freezer.
Place the frozen item (e.g., chicken breast, vegetables) in a microwave-safe container.
Turn the Power dial to the 'Defrost' setting.
Set the Timer according to the food's weight or packaging instructions. Start with a shorter time and check for thawing progress.
Flip or separate items halfway through for even defrosting.
Prepare fresh or frozen vegetables quickly. Place them in a covered microwave-safe dish with a splash of water. Use a medium-high power setting and cook for a few minutes until tender-crisp. Perfect for popcorn, warming up beverages, or preparing instant meals.
Always use microwave-safe dishes.
For best results with reheating, cover food to retain moisture and prevent splattering.
Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking, especially for larger portions, to ensure even heating.
The 'Ready Alert' will sound once the timer finishes, indicating your food is ready to serve.
Getting your VonShef Fika Microwave ready and keeping it in top condition is simple.
Unpack: Carefully remove the microwave and all packaging materials. Keep the instruction manual for future reference.
Placement: Position the microwave on a stable, flat, heat-resistant countertop. Ensure there's adequate ventilation space around the unit – typically at least 20cm above, 10cm at the rear, and 5cm on the sides, to prevent overheating. Do not place it in an enclosed cabinet.
Insert Turntable: Place the roller ring in the cavity, then position the glass turntable plate securely on top of the roller ring and the central hub.
Power Connection: Plug the 1-meter power cable into a standard 220-240V residential wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is easily accessible.
Residential Use: This microwave is designed for home kitchen environments.
Standard Power: Operates on a standard household electrical supply.
Regular cleaning will ensure your microwave performs optimally and lasts longer.
Exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild household cleaner can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Interior: Clean the interior cavity regularly. Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For dried-on food, place a bowl of water with a slice of lemon inside and microwave on high for a few minutes. The steam will loosen the grime, making it easy to wipe away.
Glass Turntable and Roller Ring: These components are removable and can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water or placed in the dishwasher for convenience. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
Odor Removal: To remove lingering odors, microwave a bowl of water with a few lemon slices or a tablespoon of white vinegar for a few minutes.
Safety: Always unplug the microwave before cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance in water. Ensure all parts are dry before plugging back in and using.
