Working Principle:
The magnetron generates 2.45 GHz microwave radiation at 800 W output. Microwaves agitate water molecules in food, generating heat through dielectric heating. The 245 mm turntable rotates the food for even exposure. The 5 power levels modulate magnetron output by cycling on/off (duty cycle control). The mechanical timer cuts power at the set duration.

Applicable Industries / Use Cases:

  • Residential kitchens
  • Office break rooms
  • Student accommodation
  • Hotel rooms

Installation Requirements:

  • Countertop or built-in placement — Ventilation: minimum 5 cm above and 10 cm on each side
  • Electrical: Dedicated 220–240 V / 50 Hz, 10 A circuit
  • Do not install in enclosed cabinets without ventilation
  • Level surface required

Usage Precautions:

  • Never operate empty — Risk of magnetron damage
  • Use only microwave-safe containers — No metal, no aluminium foil
  • Stir food midway through long heating cycles
  • Clean interior after each use with damp cloth
  • Door interlock must function — do not bypass safety latch
