2-1. Function & Type (1/2) 1. How a Microwave Oven Works The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the 20th century - millions of homes in world have one. Microwave ovens are popular because they cook food incredibly quickly. They are also extremely efficient in their use of electricity because a microwave oven heats only the food - nothing else. A microwave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are radio waves. In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used radio wave fre

2-1. Function & Type (2/2) 2) GRILL COOKING This is a method of cooking with radiant heat from the grill heater on the top of the oven. This is a traditional way of cooking which quickly seals and browns food evenly. The temperature inside the oven is fixed at 180°C, which is ideal grilling temperature for this oven. 3) CONVECTION COOKING This is a method of cooking with hot air from the convection heater situated at the rear of the oven. This method allows food to be browned evenly without losi

History of dielectric heating In 1945, Dr. Spencer working for RAYTHEON Co. in the U.S.A found out a pieces of chocolate in his pocket melting suddenly by the electric wave (ultra high frequency wave using for radar) on his experiment for radar. then began research in heating matters by the electric wave. So far, experiments for heating foods by the electric wave has been developed into the household telephone as well as microwave oven, etc. The heating metho

3-1. What’s the microwave? (2/2) 3. The safety of microwave oven Since the microwave oven can’t make the native fire like gas, you have no use for worrying about the fire. Because it doesn’t become hot like the ordinary electric range. It has been used in the dinner car of the trains etc. Microwave oven has the shielded structure strictly with metal case not to leak electric wave at once not only using but on opening the door. Because it uses the electric wave, the x-ray is never emitted. The

4-2. How does the microwave oven operate? After plugging your oven into a standard household socket, press start button or turn the timer. And then switches (primary, secondary, timer) close the circuit. Eventually the input power will be applied to turntable motor, timer motor, fan motor, oven lamp and high voltage transformer. A high voltage of 2,100 volts AC is generated in the second winging of H.V.Transformer. And the voltage is doubled by H.V.Capacitor & H.V.Diode. The 4Kv DC voltage is

4-3. WARNING - High voltage circuit ( 4,000 volt ) * The half-wave voltage doubler circuit consists of the secondary winding of the high voltage transformer, H.V. diode (rectifier), and H.V. capacitor. The H.V. diode allows alternating current (AC) to flow in one direction only and INPUT INPUT - - + + + rectifies it to pulsating direct current (DC). The H.V. capacitor is able to store energy on one half of the AC cycle and release it on the other half cycle. SENONDARY SENONDARY * During the fi

This is accomplished by heating the cathode with 3, 4 to 3,5 V AC.

5-2. Infrared sensor What’s the infrared sensor? You may be annoyed when you defrost or reheat food with microwave oven. If you reheat soup, the result is superficial. The surface is hot but inside of the soup is still cold. You have to set the clock and push “Start” again. The cooking time is much longer than you expected. LG microwave oven reduce cooking time. Our revolutionary Infrared sensor makes it 3 times faster than the ordinary microwave. Infrared eye tracks the exact temperature of

Whether you cook a pizza or chicken, the position of heater is unmovable. We changed the old way. LG heater is moving when you choose grill, the heater goes down. The angle of heater varies as to each menu. You don’t have to worry about safety. The heater moves back to it’s position automatically after grilling. Your food is more evenly grilled and delici
