8. Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because
they might explode.
• Liquids or other foods must not be heated in sealed
containers since they are liable to explode.
• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should
not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking
will occur.
• If you use any aluminum foil, meat spikes or metal
ware the distance between them and the oven
walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent
sparking.
• Do not use metal ware, ceramics with metallic trim,
or any container with a metal content.
9. Feeding Bottles/Baby Food Jars
• The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars
are to be stirred or shaken.
• The temperature has to be checked before
consumption to avoid burns.
Important Information
How Does the Microwave Work?
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves
similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM
and CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio
waves; approximately 12 cm long.
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the
magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave
energy is transmitted and absorbed.
Reection
Microwaves are reected by metal just as a ball is
bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior
walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath the
bottom shelf assure that the microwaves are well
distributed within the oven cavity to produce even
heating or cooking of foods.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some materials such as
paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window. Because these substances do not
absorb or reect the microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave oven heating containers.
Absorption
During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food.
They penetrate to a depth of about 1-5 cm. Microwave
energy excites the molecules in the food (especially
water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to
vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second.
This vibration causes friction, and heat is produced
just as you will feel heat produced if you vigorously
rub your hands together. The internal heating of
larger foods is done by conduction. The heat which is
produced by friction travels by conduction to the centre
of the food. Foods also continue to heat by conduction
during standing time. Because microwaves dissipate,
much like sunlight as it reaches the Earth’s surface,
they are not stored in food.
Radio Interference
1. Some radio, TV, Wi-Fi, cordless telephone, baby
monitor, blue tooth or other wireless equipment
interference might occur when you operate with
the microwave oven. This interference is similar to
the interference caused by small appliances such
as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with microwave oven.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a) Clean the door and sealed surfaces of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven page).
b) Place the radio, TV, etc. as far away as
possible, from the microwave oven.
