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.

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.

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.
