MICROWAVE USE

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the
turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are
attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in
the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which
cooks the food.
� To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
� To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
� Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
� Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
� Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
� Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
� Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand
for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
� Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring
significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached
eggs and allow a standing time.
