Microwave Oven - Whirlpool MG8120XD Use And Care Manual

Microwaves
pass through most glass,
paper, and plastics without heating them so
food absorbs the energy. Microwaves
bounce off metal pans so food does not
absorb the energy.
Microwaves do heat the CRISPWARETY
Crisper Pan, however.
The rubberized pad
on the bottom of the Crisper Pan is made of
a special material which absorbs micro-
waves. This heats the pan very rapidly,
browning and crisping the bottom of the
food.
The Crisper Pan
reaches 436°F (210°C) in
about 2 minutes (faster than a browning
dish) and stays at that temperature. The
bottom coating of the Crisper Pan is de-
signed to stop absorbing microwaves at
436°F (2109 which is the best tempera-
ture for frying.
In most microwave ovens, microwaves
may not reach the center of
a
roast. The
heat spreads to the center from the outer,
cooked areas just as in regular oven cook-
ing. This is one of the reasons for letting
some foods (for example, roasts or baked
potatoes) stand for a while after cooking, or
for stirring some foods during the cooking
time.
The microwaves disturb water molecules
in the food. As the molecules bounce around
bumping into each other, heat is made, like
rubbing your hands together. This is the
heat that does the cooking.
Although your VIP CRISPWAVETM
microwave oven cooks this way also, the
Double Emission System allows microwaves
to reach the center of the food more easily.
This results in faster cooking.
Radio interference
Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV, or similar
equipment. When there is interference, it
may be reduced or eliminated by taking the
following measures:
l
Clean door and sealing surfaces of
the oven.
l
Adjust
the receiving antenna of radio
or television.
l
Move the receiver away from the
microwave oven.
l
Plug
the microwave oven into a different
outlet so that the microwave oven and
receiver are on different branch circuits.
