How a Microwave Oven Works

	Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
	enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the

GB	colour.
	You can use your microwave oven to:
	◆	Auto Power Defrost
	◆	Instant Reheat
	◆	Auto Cook/Reheat
	◆	Cook

Cooking Principle

1The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

2The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cooking then continues as the heat is dissipated

within the food.

3 Cooking times vary according to the recipient used and the properties of the food:

◆Quantity and density

◆Water content

◆Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)

☛As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven. Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must therefore be respected to ensure:

◆Even cooking of the food right to the centre

◆The same temperature throughout the food
