Radio interference
Operation of the microwave oven may
cause interference to your radio, TV, or
similar equipment. When there is interfer-
ence, it may be reduced or eliminated by
taking the following measures:
l
Clean
door and sealing surfaces of the
oven.
Microwaves
pass through most glass,
paper, and plastics without heating them,
so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal pans so food does not
absorb the energy.
l
Adjust
the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
l
Move
the receiver away from the micro-
wave oven.
l
Plug
the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
Microwaves
may not reach the center of a
roast. The heat spreads to the center from
the outer, cooked areas just as in regular
oven cooking. This is one of the reasons
for letting some foods (for example, roasts
or baked potatoes) stand for a while after
cooking, or for stirring some foods during
the cooking time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules
in the food. As the molecules bounce
around bumping into each other, heat is
made, like rubbing your hands together.
This is the heat that does the cooking.
