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. Absorption During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 1- 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. 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. Radio Interference 1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures: a. Clean the door and sealed surfaces of the oven. (See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 19. ) b. as far away as possible, from the microwave. Use a properly installed antenna, to obtain stronger signal reception. -6- Outline Diagram NE-1027 (1) (2) 0 (Min) Timer Select Dial Power Select Dial Start Button Control Panel Door Safety Lock System Oven Window Oven Lamp (7) 12 (3) 3 4 30 5 6 7 8 9 (4) (1) (5) (6) NE-1027 25 20 15 10 (7) (2) 0 (Min) Min) 12 3 4 30 5 6 7 8 9 25 20 15 10 (4) (6) (3) (5) How to Operate Heating 1. 0 (Min) 12 3 4 30 5 6 7 8 9 25 10 · Turn the Timer Select Dial to the desired position.

Heating will start. 3. NOTE: · TO STOP THE OVEN, open the door or set the Timer Select Dial back to "0" (zero) position ­­ microwaves will automatically stop. -7- - MEMO - -8- Outline Diagram NE-1037 (1) x2 1 2 3 Digital Display Window (see below) Power Level Pad Program Pad Double Quantity (x2) Pad Start Pad Stop/Reset Pad Memory Pads Control Panel Door Safety Lock System (2) (3) (4) (5) (1) (2) 1 2 (6) (7) (8) (9) (3) 3 4 (10) Oven Window (11) Oven Lamp (7) (11) (4) X2 5 6 7 NE-1037 x2 1 3 (5) 1 2 8 (10) X2 3 4 5 6 7 (8) 9 (6) 8 9 0 0 (9) Digital Display Window Indicator Locations B A x2 C 1 2 3 D E A - Program Change Indicator B - Double Quantity (x2) Heating Indicator C - Memory Pad Number and Heating Time Display (min. sec. ) D - Stage Heating Indicator E - Power Level Indicator 1000 W 500 W 340 W (Defrost) -9- How to Operate Before Operating Make sure the oven is connected to a properly earthed electrical outlet. When the door is closed, the display is still blank. [. . . ] When cleaning the Control Panel, leave the oven door open to prevent the oven from accidentally turning on. After cleaning, press the Stop/Reset Pad to clear the display window or turn the Timer Select Dial back to zero "0" position. If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft paper towel. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates malfunction of the unit. [. . . ]
