This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to 

know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you use your oven.

Using your microwave oven may cause 

interference to your radio, TV, or similar 

equipment. When there is interference, you can 

reduce it or remove it by:

•  Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces of the 

oven.

•  Adjusting the receiving antenna of the radio or 

television.

•  Moving the receiver away from the microwave 

oven.

•  Plugging the microwave oven into a different 

outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver 

are on different branch circuits.

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, radio waves, or

light waves. You cannot see them, but you can 

see what they do.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces

microwaves. The microwaves move into the 

oven where they contact food as it turns on the 

turntable.

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets 

microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a 

metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and 

are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and 

plastics without heating them so food absorbs the 

energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers 

so food does not absorb the energy.

•  Always cook food for the shortest cooking time 

recommended. Check to see how the food is 

cooking. 

•  Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food being 

cooked about halfway through the cooking time 

for all recipes. This will help make sure the food 

is evenly cooked. 

•  If you do not have a cover for a dish, use wax 

paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or 

plastic wrap. Remember to turn back a corner of 

the plastic wrap to vent steam during cooking.

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold water 

in a glass container in the oven. Close the door.           

Make sure it latches. Cook at 100% power for 1 

minute. When the time is up, the water should be 

heated.
