Glass prntable
Metal floor
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
