How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. 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 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.

Your microwave oven has the

KITCHENAID* patented Double Emission

System, which releases microwaves from

two locations (one above food and one at

bottom of food). Because the microwaves

enter the oven at two different times, a third

wave of microwaves is created. This gives

you uniform cooking.

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.
