About microwave energy Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses its built-in magnetron to generate microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food. 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by the whirling distribution system. This is why the food is cooked evenly. 2. The microwaves are absorbed into the food up to a depth of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). Then, the microwaves are dissipated inside the food as cooking continues. 3. The cooking time is affected by the following conditions of the food: • Quantity and density • Moisture content • Initial temperature (especially, when frozen) NOTE The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete.
