Microwave Ovens

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy that is intermediate in frequency and wavelength between radio waves and infrared waves.

Microwave energy is absorbed by many materials, thereby producing a temperature rise. In foods, this increase in temperature is rapid and makes it possible to cook foods quickly.

Metallic materials, such as oven walls, grids, and screens, largely reflect microwave energy. Glass and many nonmetallic wrapping materials allow microwaves to pass through them.

The degree of heating depends on the moisture content, shape, size, mass, and other physical features of the material.

Microwaves, a no ionizing form of radiation, will not make food and other materials radioactive.

As in any cooking process, microwave cooking has some effect on the nutritional value of the food. Most studies, however, have shown that there are no significant nutritional differences in foods heated by microwave radiation when compared to conventional cooking methods.

There have been no documented cases of radiation injury related to microwave ovens when these appliances were used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Interference with certain heart pacemakers has been associated with proximity to an operating microwave oven, as it has with other kinds of electronic or electrical equipment.

The microwave oven shown is designed to give you long,
Give and peak performance. However, as with all electrical appliances, there are some things that you must follow to avoid potential personal hazards and give you the performance you expect.

Visual Check after Uncrating

After the oven is uncrated, all packing g material must be removed from the oven cavity.
Inspect the oven for any damage, such as a misaligned door, damaged gasketing around the door, dents or holes in the door screen, or dents inside the oven cavity. Any dents or breakage should be reported to your dealer and the delivering carrier immediately. The dealer will tell you if the oven will operate correctly.

The unit must be grounded at all times. If you move the oven from area to area, the receptacle you use must be fully grounded.

Most microwave ovens run on a frequency of 2,450 MHz, but some are available in 915 MHz. (MHz means megahertz, such as it unit of frequency corresponding to one cycle per one-one millionth of a second.) The frequency determines the wave length; the higher the frequency, the shorter the wave length and the shallower the heat penetration. Larger meat and poultry items will cook somewhat faster in a 915-mhz unit, although the 2,450-mhz unit is adequate. Smaller meals and dishes, such as leftovers, are easier to cook and heat up in a 2,450-mhz unit.

For the first few days that you have the oven in your home, it is recommended that you keep a cup or glass of water in the oven when it is not in use. This will help protect the oven if it should accidentally be turned on by curious members of the family who might run the oven without a load in it. It is possible to damage the magnetron tube if the oven is operated without anything in it. Be sure to fill out the registration punched card and send it to the manufacturer of the oven.

CARE AND USE OF WASTE DISPOSER

1. Turn the tap. Remove drain stopper and turn on a medium flow of cold water. Keeps the water running so that all ground waste particles wash through the drain?
2. Flip the switch. The instant you flick the electrical toggle switch, your food waste disposer is on and ready to use.
3. Scrape in food wastes. Down the drain go table scraps, vegetable peelings, cobs, rinds, seeds, pits, bones, and coffee grounds.
4. Run disposer for 15 seconds after shredding stops.

OPERATING TRASH COMPACTOR

It is not necessary to run a compaction cycle every time you place trash in the drawer. However, the more often you run a cycle, the compact the trash will be. To start the compactor, proceed as follows:
The compactor ram will move down inside the trash drawer. The complete cycle of the ram moving down, reversing, and then returning to its original position will take approximately 35 seconds. As the basket fills, and the ram travels a shorter distance, this time will lessen.
The ram does not go all the way to the bottom of the drawer; therefore, you can expect to cycle several loose trash loads before compaction is evident. This is normal and not a cause for concern. As the ram compacts difficult-to-break items you may notice a downward movement of the compactor drawer. This is normal and will not cause damage. The spring-loaded drawer is specially designed to freely move down and return to its original position. As the ram compacts the contents, the entire force of the ram is absorbed by the rigid steel frame of the compactor.
Note: It is possible for a cycle to be incomplete when you have not firmly closed the drawer before pushing the Start button. If this occurs, the unit will shut off but the drawer cannot be pulled open. Close drawer firmly and push the Start button. The ram will then return to the original up position.

How to Stop Cycle and Open Drawer

You may push the stop button at any time during operation to stop the ram. Then push the Start button to return the ram to the original up position. The drawer may then be opened. To restart a compaction cycle, close the drawer and push the Start button.
Charcoal Air Filter. The charcoal air fitter absorbs and minimizes odor. It is located at the right rear section of the compactor. A fan moves air through the charcoal filter, removing odor. The degree of odor in your compactor will depend upon the type of trash you place in it. It is recommended that you use a food waste disposer for wet garbage.
