How the Microwave Function Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio,

television waves, and ordinary daylight. Normally,

microwaves spread outwards as they travel

through the atmosphere and disappear without

effect.
This oven, however, has a magnetron that is

designed to make use of the energy in microwaves.

Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used

to create microwave energy.

These microwaves enter the cooking area through

openings inside the oven. A tray is located inside

the oven. Microwaves cannot pass through metal

walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such

materials as glass, porcelain and paper, the

materials out of which microwave-safe cooking

dishes are constructed.

Microwaves do not heat cookware, though cooking

vessels will eventually get hot from the heat

generated by the food.

A very safe appliance

Your Microwave oven, is one of the safest

of all home appliances. When the door

is opened, the oven automatically stops

producing microwaves. Microwave energy is

converted completely to heat when it enters

food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you

when you eat your food.
