Microwaves are attractedto and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooksthe food.• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on orallow children to swing on the microwave oven door.• To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operatemicrowave oven when it is empty.• The turntable must be in place and correct side up whenmicrowave oven is in use.
