INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF MODEL HM1600 MICROWAVE OVEN GENERAL Microwave heat is generated inside the food rather than being conducted through the food as in conventional methods. Time is used to control the amount of heating that occurs. Microwave energy is absorbed in proportion to the moisture content of the food. The microwave energy causes water molecules to vibrate at high speeds resulting in friction (HEAT). The Model HM1600 produces microwave energy in a magnetron where an elec
