Operation theory of microwave oven
1.Microwave is a kind of high frequency electromagnetic wave, which is commonly distributed in the nature.
But the existing form of microwave is dispersed so that it cannot be collected together for heating purpose.
The key component of magnetron of microwave oven will transform the energy of electricity to microwave
and huge energy of microwave field is established under the closed cavity. So the molecule of food is
caused to vibrate at very high speed and the friction heat produced will cook the food in a fast way.
2. There are 3 properties of microwave:
a) Absorbability, the microwave can cause the excess vibration of molecule of various food so as to obtain
the heating purpose. But the infiltration ability is largely depend on the size, thickness and properties of the
food.
b) Penetrability, microwave can penetrate through ceramics, glass, temperature-resistant plastics. It is
required to use the containers whose material have good microwave penetrability to achieve best heating
result. See the below utensils guide.
c) Reflectivity, microwave would be reflected by the metal wall of interior cavity so as to establish an even
magnetic field, thus can prevent the overheating of partial area.
Installation of microwave oven
1) To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of the back of microwave to the wall should be at least 10
cm, the side to the wall should be at least 5cm, the free distance above the top surface at least 20 cm.
2) Do not place any objects on the top of microwave oven.
3) The position of the oven shall be such that it is far from the TV, Radio or antenna as picture disturbance
or noise may occur.
4) The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
5) The microwave oven is intended to be used freestanding and shall not be placed in a cabinet.
6) To keep the microwave oven at a distance from the wall, it is necessary to install a distance limiter.

Cooking Tips
1) Arrange food carefully, place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
2) Watch cooking time, cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as needed.
3) Cover foods before cooking
check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean).
4) Shield foods
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to cover thin areas of meats or poultry to avoid overcooking.
5) Stir foods
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
6) Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.
7) Rearrange foods
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish
to the outside.
8) Allow standing time
Heated liquid or beverage may result in delayed eruptive boiling. After cooking ensure adequate
standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
8) Check for doneness
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Pork and poultry show no pinkness..
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
9) Condensation
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of
moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
10) Browning dish
when using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as
a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable, rotating ring due to heat stress. The
preheating time specified in the dishes instructions must not be exceeded.

11) Microwave safe plastic wrap
for cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.
12) Microwave safe plastic cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and
sugar content.
13) Liquid and similar food must not be cooked in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
14) Eggs in the shell, whole hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, sausage must be pierced or peeled before cooking
otherwise they may explode.
