How your microwave oven works Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food. Glass Tray Mode mlxef Metal Fioor Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You can’t see them, but you can see what they do. A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they are scattered or stirred by a mode mixer (like a fan).

Steam build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them. USE HOT PADS.
DO NOT use the oven for storage. Do not leave paper products, books or cooking utensils in the oven when not in use. Fire may result if someone accidentally starts the oven. DO NOT let food or containers touch the top or sides of the oven. Starting a microwave oven when it’s empty is not recommended. If you practice programming the oven, put a container of water in the oven. DO NOT let the oven continue to operate after removing food. Turn the timer to “OFF”.
