    Subject: NSF 170 Definitions as applied to this change
    Category: N/A
    Comment

    In a review of NSF/ANSI170, the definitions for 3.131 Microwave Oven, and 3.144 Oven make a clear distinction between the two types of ovens.  A Microwave Oven is defined as an oven in which foods are heated and/or cooked when they absorb microwave energy (short electromagnetic waves) generated by a magnetron(s)., and an Oven being a chamber designed for heating, roasting, or baking food by conduction, convection, radiation, and/or electromagnetic energy.  

    As written this change would seem to apply to Microwave Ovens only.  Would this mean that the change would only allow the use of adhesives on Microwave Oven Gaskets, and not on ovens that use other methods or combinations of methods to heat, roast, or bake?
