OPERATION THEORY OF MICROWAVE OVEN

• Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the nature. But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating purpose. The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to microwave and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of food is caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast way.
• There are 3 properties of microwave, that is:
  • Absorbability, the microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule of various foods so as to obtain the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depending on the size, thickness and properties of the food.
  • Penetrability, microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperature-resistant plastics. It is required to use the containers whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating result. See the below utensils guide.
  • Reflectivity, microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an even magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.

**INSTALLATION OF MICROWAVE OVEN

**

• To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the back of microwave to the wall should be at least 10 cm; the side to the wall should be at least 5 cm; the free distance above the top surface should be at least 20 cm; and the distance of the microwave to the ground should be at least 85 cm.
• Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.
• The position of the oven shall be such that it is far from the TV, Radio or antenna as picture disturbance or noise may occur.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
• The microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding and shall not be placed in a cabinet.
