Page 10: About Your Microwave
And that’s it! Cooking has never been so easy. With the RHM1401 series you can tailor cooking to suit your recipe using the 5 power levels available for selection. For added functionality, there’s also an essential defrost setting, saving you time so that you can cook meals straight from the freezer. - Page 11 ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE How do microwaves work? Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres.)
