How do I know the real size of my Sharp microwave oven?
Measuring interior cavity capacity An easy way to understand how big a microwave oven is on the inside is to know the size of the turntable tray. This is measured as the diameter of a circle which is the length of a straight line starting at the left of the tray, running through the centre and ending on the right of the tray. Knowing the size of the turntable tray makes it easy to know if your cookware will t comfortably on the turntable and still have enough room to turn freely, without touching the sides of the oven. See Aerial view (cutaway) Front view diagram below
How a microwave oven works The best cooking results are achieved when food is heated evenly so that no one part of the meal is warmer or cooler than any other. When you press the Start button on your microwave oven, the magnetron is turned on. In Sharp microwave ovens, the magnetron is located at either the back or the side of the oven. The magnetron (see diagram on next page) produces microwave energy that moves down the waveguide and enters the interior cavity of the oven. See the typical construction of a microwave oven illustration on next page. The microwaves reect and bounce off the interior cavity walls. This process causes the water molecules within the food or beverage to vibrate. As the

TOP VIEW (CUTAWAY)

FRONT VIEW

25/7/07 3:01:08 PM

water molecules vibrate, they become hot, cooking the food. This is why a dish is sometimes cool to touch when you remove it from the oven. Microwave-safe dishes become warm from the heat of the food, not from the microwaves. Expert engineering Sharp microwave ovens are strategically designed and engineered to maximise microwave reection so that the microwaves are evenly distributed across the turntable area to assist in even cooking. If you look inside your Sharp microwave oven, you will see it is not just square, but has curved shapes and indentations on the interior surface. These shapes help to distribute the microwaves efciently. When you press the Stop button or open the oven door, the magnetron is turned off. Just like turning off a light switch, the magnetron stops producing microwaves and the microwave energy in the oven cavity disappears. Cavity size Different manufacturers have created ovens with different interior cavity sizes. While some ovens are lower and wider, Sharp microwave ovens are higher and more compact. This makes it possible to put a tall bowl into the oven and still have the oven achieve maximum microwave

reection for even cooking. Rotating turntable Sharp Carousel microwave ovens have been designed with rotating turntables so that the food moves through the microwaves and helps to cook it more evenly. Output power Generally speaking, the greater the output power, the faster food will cook. For example, a 1,200 watt IEC-rated oven will cook food twice as fast as a 600 watt IEC-rated oven. This is not to say that you should always operate your oven at maximum power as some foods, such as dairy products, are best heated on low power settings. As you can see, the size of the cavity is not what counts if you want even, efcient microwave cooking. Rather, it is the combination of the inside shape of the oven, the movement of microwave energy and food through the oven, and the output power that will help you get the best results from your Sharp microwave oven.
