Microwaves : The microwave is adjustable between 0% and 100% for each 30
second fraction. For example, the microwaves in a one-minute recipe with
microwave programmed at 50% will run for 15 and stop for 15 seconds.
Then they will energize for another 15 seconds and stop for the remaining 15
seconds. In 1 minute, they will act for a total of 30 seconds. The micro-
waves heat the food interna l ly and do not require a specific mean to
propagate.
Microwaves are reflected by metals but will penetrate glass, plastics, and
ceramics.The microwaves penetrate food and become attracted to sugar,
fat a
nd w ater m olecules.
The use of plastic or paper containers is forbidden because they will burn
inside the oven because of the heat.
Operation Time : The food heated by microwaves occur from the outside in
and the penetration level will vary depending on the type of food. Therefore,
you should relate the preparation time to the food composition, the quantity
of food processed, as well as its density and thickness. The larger the food
amount (quantity or density), the greater the time or percentage will be
needed for the microwave to take effect.
Hot Air Speed : The hot air speed can be adjusted between 0% and 100%
speed. The hot air is controlled by a blower motor which will envelope the
food.
a) The higher the air speed, the more likely it will be to burn the product on the
outside.
b)The higher the air speed, the more it will affect the texture and crispness of
the product.
