How the Microwave Oven Works

Microwaves are a form of energy similar to radio and television waves and  
ordinary daylight. Normally, microwaves spread outwards as they travel  
through the atmosphere and disappear without effect. Microwave ovens,  
however, have a magnetron which is designed to make use of the energy in  
microwaves. Electricity, supplied to the magnetron tube, is used to created  
microwave energy.

These microwaves enter the cooking area through openings inside the oven.  
A turntable or tray is located at the bottom of the oven. Microwaves cannot  
pass through metal walls of the oven, but they can penetrate such materials  
as glass, porcelain and paper, the materials out of which microwave-safe  
cooking dishes are constructed.

Plug Wiring Information/Technical Specifications  
Your microwave oven is one of the safest of all home  
appliances. When the door is opened, the oven  
automatically stops producing microwaves. Microwave  
energy is converted completely to heat when it enters  
food, leaving no “left over” energy to harm you when  
you eat your food.

Unpacking &  
Installing  
By following the basic steps on these two pages you will be able to quickly check that your oven is operating  
correctly. Please pay particular attention to the guidance on where to install your oven. When unpacking your  
oven make sure you remove all accessories and packing. Check to make sure that your oven has not been  
damaged during delivery.  
Place the oven in the level location of your choice with  
more than 85cm height but make sure there is at least  
30cm of space on the top and 10cm at the rear for proper  
ventilation. The front of the oven should be at least 8cm from the  
edge of the surface to prevent tipping.  
Unpack your oven and place it on a flat level  
surface.  
An exhaust outlet is located on top or side of the oven. Blocking  
the outlet can damage the oven.

commences. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be  
completely thawed before cooking. The BREAD programme is suitable for defrosting small items such as

again carefully and check the temperature of it before consuming to  
avoid burns (especially, contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars).  
CAUTION  
1. You cannot operate your oven with the door open due to the safety  
interlocks built into the door mechanism. It is important not to tamper  
with the safety interlocks.  
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,  
therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.  
*
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy. (Safety  
interlocks automatically switch off any cooking activity when the door is  
opened.)  
6. An exhaust outlet is located on the top, bottom or side of the oven.  
Don’t block the outlet.  
2. Do not place any object (such as kitchen towels, napkins, etc.) between  
the oven front face and the door or allow food or cleaner residue to  
accumulate on sealing surfaces.  
It could result in damage to your oven and poor cooking results.  
7. Do not operate the oven when empty. It is best to leave a glass of water  
in the oven when not in use. The water will safely absorb all microwave  
energy, if the oven is accidentally started.  
It could result in harmful exposure to excessive microwave energy.  
Improper use could result in damage to your oven.

Microwave-safe  
Utensils  
Never use metal or metal trimmed utensils in your  
microwave oven  
Paper  
Paper plates and containers are convenient and safe to use in your microwave oven,  
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. They will bounce off any metal object in the  
oven and cause arcing, an alarming phenomenon that resembles lightning.  
Most heat resistant non metallic cooking utensils are safe for use in your microwave  
oven. However, some may contain materials that render them unsuitable as  
microwave cookware. If you have any doubts about a particular utensil, there’s a  
simple way to find out if it can be used in your microwave oven.  
provided that the cooking time is short and foods to be cooked are low in fat and  
moisture. Paper towels are also very useful for wrapping foods and for lining baking  
trays in which greasy foods such as Lamb are cooked. In general, avoid coloured  
paper products as the colour may run. Some recycled paper products may contain  
impurities which could cause arcing or fires when used in the microwave oven.  
Plastic cooking bags  
Place the utensil in question next to a glass bowl filled with water in the microwave  
oven. Microwave at power HIGH for 1 minute. If the water heats up but the utensil  
remains cool to the touch, the utensil is microwave~safe. However, if the water does  
not change temperature but the utensil becomes warm, microwaves are being  
absorbed by the utensil and it is not safe for use in the microwave oven. You  
probably have many items on hand in your kitchen right now that can be used as  
cooking equipment in your microwave oven. Just read through the following  
checklist.  
Provided they are made specially for cooking, cooking bags are microwave safe.  
However, be sure to make a slit in the bag so that steam can escape. Never use  
ordinary plastic bags for cooking in your microwave oven, as they will melt and  
rupture.  
Plastic microwave cookware  
A variety of shapes and sizes of microwave cookware are available. For the most  
part, you can probably use items you already have on hand rather than investing in  
new kitchen equipment.  
Dinner plates  
Pottery, stoneware and ceramic  
Containers made of these materials are usually fine for use in your microwave oven,  
but they should be tested to be sure.  
Many kinds of dinner-ware are microwave-safe. If in doubt consult the  
manufacturer’s literature or perform the microwave test.  
Glassware  
Glassware that is heat-resistant is microwave-safe. This would include all brands of  
oven tempered glass cookware. However, do not use delicate glassware, such as  
tumblers or wine glasses, as these might shatter as the food warms.  
CAUTION  
Some items with high lead or iron content are not suitable for cooking  
utensils.  
Plastic storage containers  
These can be used to hold foods that are to be quickly reheated. However, they  
should not be used to hold foods that will need considerable time in the oven as hot  
foods will eventually warp or melt plastic containers.  
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in  
microwave ovens.  
Food characteristics &  
Microwave cooking  
Moisture content of food  
Keeping an eye on things  
Since the heat generated from microwaves tends to evaporate moisture, relatively dry food  
such as roasts and some vegetables should either be sprinkled with water prior to cooking  
or covered to retain moisture.  
The recipes in the book have been formulated with great care, but your success in  
preparing them depends on how much attention you pay to the food as it cooks.  
Always watch your food while it cooks. Your microwave oven is equipped with a  
light that turns on automatically when the oven is in operation so that you can see  
inside and check the progress of your food. Directions given in recipes to elevate,  
stir, and the like should be thought of as the minimum steps recommended. If the  
food seems to be cooking unevenly, simply make the necessary adjustments you think  
appropriate to correct the problem.  
Bone and fat content of food  
Bones conduct heat and fat cooks more quickly than meat. Care must be taken when  
cooking bony or fatty cuts of meat that they do not cook unevenly and do not become  
overcooked.  
Quantity of food  
The number of microwaves in your oven remains constant regardless of how much food is  
being cooked. Therefore, the more food you place in the oven, the longer the cooking time.  
Remember to decrease cooking times by at least one third when halving a recipe.  
Shape of food  
Factors affecting microwave cooking times  
Many factors affect cooking times. The temperature of ingredients used in a recipe  
makes a big difference in cooking times. For example, a cake made with ice-cold  
butter, milk, and eggs will take considerably longer to bake than one made with  
ingredients that are at room temperature. All of the recipes in this book give a range  
of cooking times. In general, you will find that the food remains under-cooked at the  
lower end of the time range, and you may sometimes want to cook your food beyond  
the maximum time given, according to personal preference. The governing  
philosophy of this book is that it is best for a recipe to be conservative in giving  
cooking times. While overcooked food is ruined for good. Some of the recipes,  
particularly those for bread, cake, and custards, recommend that food be removed  
from the oven when they are slightly undercooked. This is not a mistake. When  
allowed to stand, usually covered, these foods will continue to cook outside of the  
oven as the heat trapped within the outer portions of the food gradually travels  
inward. If the food is left in the oven until it is cooked all the way through, the outer  
portions will become overcooked or even burnt. You will become increasingly skilful  
in estimating both cooking and standing times for various foods.  
Density of food  
Microwaves penetrate only about 2.cm into food, the interior portion of thick foods are  
cooked as the heat generated on the outside travels inward. Only the outer edge of food in  
cooked by microwave energy; the rest is cooked by conduction. The worst possible shape  
for a food that is to be microwaved is a thick square. The corners will burn long before the  
centre is even warm . Round thin foods and ring shaped foods cook successfully in the  
microwave.  
Covering  
A cover traps heat and steam which causes food to cook more quickly. Use a lid or  
microwave cling film with a corner folded back to prevent splitting.  
Browning  
Meats and poultry that are cooked fifteen minutes or longer will brown lightly in their own  
fat. Foods that are cooked for a shorter period of time may be brushed with a browning  
sauce such as worcestershire sauce, soy sauce or barbecue sauce to achieve an appetizing  
colour. Since relatively small amounts of browning sauces are added to food the original  
flavour of the recipe is not altered.  
Covering with greaseproof paper  
Light, porous food such as cakes and breads cook more quickly than heavy, dense  
foods such as roasts and casseroles. You must take care when microwaving porous  
food that the outer edges do not become dry and brittle.  
Greaseproofing effectively prevents spattering and helps food retain some heat. But  
because it makes a looser cover than a lid or clingfilm, it allows the food to dry out slightly.  
Arranging and spacing  
Height of food  
Individual foods such as baked potatoes, small cakes and hors d’oeuvres will heat more  
evenly if placed in the oven an equal distance apart, preferably in a circular pattern. Never  
stack foods on top of one another.  
The upper portion of tall food, particularly roasts, will cook more quickly than the  
lower portion. Therefore, it is wise to turn tall food during cooking, sometimes several  
times.  
Food characteristics &  
Microwave cooking  
Stirring  
To Clean Your Oven  
1 Keep the inside of the oven clean  
Stirring is one of the most important of all microwaving techniques. In conventional cooking,  
food is stirred for the purpose of blending. Microwaved food, however, is stirred in order to  
spread and redistribute heat. Always stir from the outside towards the centre as the outside  
of the food heats first.  
Food spatters or spilled liquids stick to oven walls and between seal and door  
surface. It is best to wipe up spillovers with a damp cloth right away. Crumbs and  
spillovers will absorb microwave energy and lengthen cooking times. Use a damp  
cloth to wipe out crumbs that fall between the door and the frame. It is important to  
keep this area clean to assure a tight seal. Remove greasy spatters with a soapy cloth  
then rinse and dry. Do not use harsh detergent or abrasive cleaners. The glass tray  
can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.  
Turning over  
Large, tall foods such as roasts and whole chickens should be turned so that the top and  
bottom will cook evenly. It is also a good idea to turn cut up chicken and chops.  
Placing thicker portions facing outwards  
Since microwaves are attracted to the outside portion of food, it makes sense to place  
thicker portions of meat, poultry and fish to the outer edge of the baking dish. This way,  
thicker portions will receive the most microwave energy and the food will cook evenly.  
Shielding  
Strips of aluminium foil (which block microwaves) can be placed over the corners or edges  
of square and rectangular foods to prevent those portions from overcooking. Never use too  
much foil and make sure the foil is secured to the dish or it may cause ‘arcing’ in the oven.  
Elevating  
2 Keep the outside of the oven clean  
Clean the outside of your oven with soap and water then with clean water and dry  
with a soft cloth or paper towel. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the  
oven, the water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings. To clean  
control panel, open the door to prevent oven from accidentally starting, and wipe a  
damp cloth followed immediately by a dry cloth. Press STOP/CLEAR after cleaning.  
Thick or dense foods can be elevated so that microwaves can be absorbed by the underside  
and centre of the foods.  
Piercing  
Foods enclosed in a shell, skin or membrane are likely to burst in the oven unless they are  
pierced prior to cooking. Such foods include yolks and whites of eggs, clams and oysters  
and whole vegetables and fruits.  
3 If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe the panels  
with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high  
humidity conditions and in no way indicates a malfunction of the unit.  
Testing if cooked  
Food cooks so quickly in a microwave oven, it is necessary to test it frequently. Some foods  
are left in the microwave until completely cooked, but most foods, including meats and  
poultry, are removed from the oven while still slightly undercooked and allowed to finish  
cooking during standing time. The internal temperature of foods will rise between 50F (30C)  
and 150F (80C) during standing time.  
4 The door and door seals should be kept clean. Use only warm, soapy water, rinse  
then dry thoroughly.  
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS, SUCH AS CLEANING POWDERS OR  
STEEL AND PLASTIC PADS.  
Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp cloth.  
Standing time  
Foods are often allowed to stand for 3 to 10 minutes after being removed from the  
microwave oven. Usually the foods are covered during standing time to retain heat unless  
they are supposed to be dry in texture (some cakes and biscuits, for example). Standing  
allows foods to finish cooking and also helps flavour blend and develop.

Do not use any steam cleaner.

Questions &  
Answers  
Q What’s wrong when the oven light will not glow?  
A There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow.  
Light bulb has blown  
Q Is it possible to pop corn in a microwave oven?  
A Yes, if using one of the two methods described  
below  
1 Popcorn-popping utensils designed specifically for microwave cooking.  
2 Prepackaged commercial microwave popcorn that contains specific  
times and power outputs needed for an acceptable final product.  
Door is not closed  
Q Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?  
A No. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to pass; they do not let  
microwave energy through.  
FOLLOW EXACT DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY EACH MANUFACTURER FOR  
THEIR POPCORN PRODUCT. DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED  
WHILE THE CORN IS BEING POPPED. IF CORN FAILS TO POP AFTER  
THE SUGGESTED TIMES, DISCONTINUE COOKING. OVERCOOKING  
COULD RESULT IN THE CORN CATCHING FIRE.  
Q Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the Control Panel is  
touched?  
A The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.  
Q Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?  
A Yes Never run it empty or without the glass tray.  
CAUTION  
NEVER USE A BROWN PAPER BAG FOR POPPING CORN. NEVER  
ATTEMPT TO POP LEFTOVER KERNELS.  
Q Why do eggs sometimes pop?  
A When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam  
build up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk  
before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.  
Q Why doesn’t my oven always cook as fast as the cooking guide says?  
A Check your cooking guide again to make sure you’ve followed directions  
correctly, and to see what might cause variations in cooking time.  
Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, chosen to help  
prevent overcooking, the most common problem in getting used to a  
microwave oven. Variations in the size, shape, weight and dimensions of  
the food require longer cooking time. Use your own judgement along with  
the cooking guide suggestions to test food condition, lust as you would do  
with a conventional cooker.  
Q Why is standing time recommended after microwave cooking is over?  
A After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps on cooking during  
standing time. This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the  
food. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food.
