This document is the owner's manual for the Emerson MW1119W 1000W Microwave Oven. It provides detailed instructions for operation, safety precautions, and maintenance, along with technical specifications and warranty information.
Function Description
The Emerson MW1119W is a 1000W microwave oven designed for heating, cooking, and defrosting food. It offers various cooking modes, including single-stage cooking, two-stage cooking, weight defrost, time defrost, and auto cook functions for specific food items. The oven features a digital display, a clock, and a kitchen timer. A child lock function is included to prevent unintended operation. The microwave uses ISM frequency energy to heat food, converting electricity into microwave energy via a magnetron tube. This energy is then transmitted to the oven cavity, where it is reflected, transmitted, and absorbed by the food, causing its molecules (especially water, fat, and sugar) to activate and produce heat.
