About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The magnetron built into the oven generates microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring it.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by the microwave's distribution system. This is why the food cooks evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food to a depth of approx. 1 inch (2.5 cm). Then, the microwaves dissipate inside the food as cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the following conditions of the food:
Quantity and density
Moisture content
Initial temperature (especially,
when frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food retains heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you must observe the standing times specied in this manual, which ensures food cooks evenly down to the core.
