How your microwave oven works

Magnetron

I

Mlcrowave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. It causes food to make its own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the food.

Microwaves are like TV waves or light waves. You cannot see them, but you can see what they do.

‘Oven cavity

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the glass turntable.

Your mlcrowave oven has the Whlrlpool patented DUO SYSTEMTMheatlng system,

which releases microwaves in two locations (one above food and one at bottom of food) for perfectly uniform cooking.
