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 five inches in length. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity where it is: reflected, transmitted and absorbed. 1. Reflection They will REFLECT off metal.
Types of Containers to use Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in your oven. Do not use any closed jar for Microwave or Combination. Pressure will build up and the jar may explode. MICROWAVE 6. Covering Films DO USE: 1. Glass DO USE: DO NOT USE: Heat Resistant glass eg. Pyrex Delicate glass, lead crystal which may crack or arc. 2. China/Ceramics DO USE: DO NOT USE: Glazed china dishes, porcelain and ceramic dishes designed for cooking.
