How Does The Microwave Work - Panasonic NE-1037 Bedienungsanleitung

7) Paper/Plastic
• When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently as these types of
containers ignite if overheated.
• Do not use recycled paper products (ex. Kitchen
Roll) unless the paper product is labeled as safe for
microwave oven use. Recycled paper products
may contain impurities which may cause sparks
and/or fires when use.
• Remove wire twist-ties from roasting bags before
placing bags in oven.
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves
similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM and
CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio
waves; approximately 12 cm long.
Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the
magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave
energy is transmitted and absorbed.
Reflection
Microwaves are reflected by metal just as a ball is
bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior
walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath the
bottom shelf assure that the microwaves are well
distributed within the oven cavity to produce even
heating or cooking of foods.
Transmission
Microwaves pass through some materials such as
paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining
through a window. Because these substances do not
absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal
materials for microwave oven heating containers.

Important Information

How Does the Microwave Work?

8) Utensils/Foil
• Do not heat any closed cans or bottles because
they might explode.
• Metal containers or dishes with metallic trim should
not be used during Microwave cooking. Sparking
will occur.
• If you use any aluminum foil, meat spikes or metal
ware the distance between them and the oven
walls and door should be at least 2 cm to prevent
sparking.
Absorption
During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food.
They penetrate to a depth of about 1 to 5 cm Microwave
energy excites the molecules in the food (especially
water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to
vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second. This
vibration causes friction, and heat is produced just as you
will feel heat produced if you vigorously rub your hands
together. The internal heating of larger foods is done by
conduction. The heat which is produced by friction travels
by conduction to the centre of the food. Foods also
continue to heat by conduction during standing time.
Because microwaves dissipate, much like sunlight as it
reaches the Earth's surface, they are not stored in food.
TV / RADIO / WIRELESS EQUIPMENT
INTERFERENCE
1. This product can radiate radio frequency energy, which
could cause interference to such products as radio, TV,
baby monitor, cordless phone, Bluetooth, wireless router,
etc., which can be confirmed by turning this product off
and on. If present, the user is encouraged to try to correct
by taking one or more of the following countermeasures:
(1) Increase the spacing distance between the
microwave oven and other product receiving
the interference.
(2) If possible, use a properly installed receiver
antenna and/or reorient the receiving antenna
of the other product receiving the interference.
(3) Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet
from the other product receiving the interference.
(4) Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven.
