Microwave energy has been used in this country to cook and reheat food since early experiments with RADAR
in World War ll. Microwaves are present in the atmosphere all the time, both naturally and manmade sources.
Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.
MICROWAVING PRINCIPLES
CONVERSION CHARTS
HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOOD
Then they pass through
the cooking containers to
be absorbed by the water
molecules in the food, all
foods contain water to a
more or lesser extent.
The microwaves cause the water molecules to
vibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. This
heat then cooks the food. Microwaves are also
attracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high
in these will cook more quickly. Microwaves can
only penetrate to a depth of 1

- 2 inches(4-5cm)
and as heat spreads through the food by
conduction, just as in a traditional oven, the food
cooks from the outside inwards.
In a microwave oven,
electricity is converted
into microwave by the
MAGNETRON.
The microwaves
bounce off the metal
walls and the metal
door screen.

Microwave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated and
used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material. This oven is a Class B equipment
suitable for use in domestic establishments and in establishments directly connected to a low voltage power
supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.
