How a Microwave OvenWorks

Microwaves

are

lrke

radio

waves

or

radar

waves.

They

will

pass

through

glass, plastic,

paper

and

most

other

types

of

containers

that

are not metal.

Microwaves

bounce

off

metal and are absorbed

by food.

ON When

food

absorbs

microwaves,

heal

is

created

because

Water

molecules

in

the

food

are

disturbed

and

bounce around

colliding

with

each

other.

Heat

IS

created

by

this

bouncing

and

collidrng

like

when

you

warm

your

hands

by rubbing

them

together.

When all safety systems are secure (door shut completely and the

START button pushed), electric current IS allowed to reach the

magnetron tube. The magnetron tube uses electricity to create

microwaves. They pass through a metal tunnel called the waveguide, past the wavetuner, into the oven cavity.

Just at the point where the microwaves are about to go Into the oven cavity, Whirlpool Microwave Ovens use a mode mixer (a slow-moving

metal fan) to scatter them. If all the microwaves went in the same

direction, they’d all bounce In the same direction, like water from a
