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

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.
