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

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is work- ing correctly at all times.

Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

 

1

Set the power level to maximum by turning COOKING POWER

 

 

CONTROL knob.

 

 

 

 

2

Set the time by turning the TIMER( ) dial.

 

 

Result: The oven light comes on and the turntable starts rotating.

1)Cooking starts and when it has finished the oven beeps four times.

2)The end reminder signal will beep 3 times(once every minute).

3)The current time is displayed again.

The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
