Getting to Know Your
Microwave Oven
This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics
you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you
use your oven.
How your microwave
oven works
Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave
energy is not hot. It causes food to make
its own heat, and it's this heat that cooks
the food.
Microwaves are like TV waves, radio-
waves,or light waves. You cannot see them,
but you can see what they do.
A magnetron in the microwave oven
produces microwaves. The microwaves
move into the oven where they contact
food as it turns on the turntable.
Your microwave oven has a patented
microwave distribution system, which
releases microwaves from two locations
(one above food and one at bottom of food).
Because the microwaves enter the oven at
two different times, a third wave of
microwaves is created. This gives you
uniform cooking.
The glass turntable of your microwave
oven lets microwaves pass through. Then
they bounce off a metal floor, back through
the glass turntable, and are absorbed by
the food.

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the
microwave oven.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Explosion Hazard
Microwaves pass through most glass,
paper, and plastics without heating them
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal containers so food does
not absorb the energy.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference,
you can reduce it or remove it by:
• Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces
of the oven.
• Adjusting the receiving antenna of the
radio or television.
• Moving the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
• Plugging the microwave oven into a
different outlet so that the microwave
oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
For the best
cooking results
• Always cook food for the shortest cook-
ing time recommended. Check to see how
the food is cooking. If needed, touch the
ADD MINUTE pad while the oven is oper-
ating or after the cooking cycle is over
(see the "Using ADD MINUTE" section).
• Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food
being cooked about halfway through the
cooking time for all recipes. This will help
make sure the food is evenly cooked.
• If you do not have a cover for a dish,
use wax paper, or microwave-approved
paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember
to turn back a corner of the plastic wrap to
vent steam during cooking.
