How your microwave oven works
Magnetron
I
Mlcrowave 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.
Microwaves are like TV waves or light
waves. You cannot see them, but you can see
what they do.
'Oven cavity
A magnetron
in the microwave oven produces
microwaves. The microwaves move into the
oven where they contact food as it turns on the
glass turntable.
Your mlcrowave oven has the Whlrlpool
patented DUO SYSTEMTM heatlng system,
which releases microwaves in two locations
(one above food and one at bottom of food) for
perfectly uniform cooking.
