Operation theory of Microwave oven

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.

There is 3 property of microwave, that isAbsorbability, 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.

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.

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

Installation of Microwave Oven

o To ensure sufficient ventilation, the distance of back of oven to the wall or cabinet

should be at least 10cm, side of oven to the wall or cabinet should be at least

5cm, the top of oven to the ceiling or cabinet should be at least 20cm.

o Do not place any object on the top of oven.

o 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.

o The oven shall be so installed that the plug is accessible.

It is strongly recommended to use the containers which are suitable and safe for

microwave cooking. Generally speaking, the containers which are made of

heat-resistant ceramic, glass or plastic is suitable for microwave cooking. Never use

the metal containers for microwave cooking and combination cooking as spark is

likely to occur. You can take the reference of below table.

Yes No No No Never use the ceramics which

are decorated with metal rim

orglazed.Heat-resistant

Grill rack No Yes Yes Yes

Plastic film Yes No No No It should not be when cooking

meat or chops as the over

temperature may do damage

As there is manufacturing residue or oil remained on the oven cavity, it usually would

smell the odor, even a slight smoke. It is normal and would not occur after several

times use. Keep the door or window open to ensure good ventilation. So it is strongly

recommended to operate as follows:

Set the oven to convection or grill mode and operate dry several times, operating dry

can only be conducted in the grill or convection mode, it cannot be conducted at

combination mode or microwave mode.

dry cloth to remove any food splashes and grease. Built-up grease

may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fire.

o If materials inside the oven should smoke or ignite, keep oven door

closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power supply.

o Close supervision is necessary when using disposable containers

made from plastic, paper or other combustible material.

• To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:

o Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a

screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.o When boiling liquid in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and

stand about 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed

eruptive boiling of liquids.

o Never cooking the egg and reheating the cooked egg to prevent from

o When cooking the potato, chestnut and sausage, pierce them with

blade or fork to prevent from exploding.

• Never operate the oven further if the door is damaged or the oven

malfunction or supply cord is damaged. Return the appliance to the nearest

authorized service center for repair and maintenance. Never try to adjust or

repair the oven yourself.

• If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its

service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.

• After cooking, the container is very hot. Using gloves to take out the food and

avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

• Slowly lift the furthest edge of dishes cover and microwave plastic wrap and

carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

• To prevent the turntable from breaking:

o Let the turntable cool down before cleaning.

o Do not place hot foods or utensils on the cold turntable.

o Do not place frozen foods or utensils on the hot turntable.

• Make sure the utensils do not depress the interior walls during cooking.

• Do not store food or any other things inside the oven.

• Do not operate the oven without any liquid or food inside the oven. This

would do damage the oven.

Microwave 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).

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.

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

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.

9) 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.

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.11) 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.

12) 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.

13) Microwave safe plastic cookware

Some microwave safe plastic cookware is not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.
