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 colour.

You can use your microwave oven to:

Defrost

Instant Reheat/Cook

Cook

Cooking Principle.

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

2.The 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

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1.Press the Microwave () button and set the time

to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 1 min button the appropriate number of times.

2.Press the Start ( ) button.

Result : The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes. The water should then be

boiling.

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.
