Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than 100% (HIGH)
you will be able to hear the microwave energy
pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

MICROWAVING
Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which causes them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore,
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating. Where recommended allow food to
stand. This is not optional but necessary to ensure
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves

Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore,
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating. Where recommended allow food to
stand. This is not optional but necessary to ensure
thorough cooking and is particularly important for
dense food, such as joints of meat.
Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
Microwaves are reflected by metal. The oven is lined
with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to
prevent microwave leakage. Metallic dishes are not
suitable for microwaving. Only use utensils that are
suitable for microwave ovens.
