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

• Reheat

• Cook Cooking principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron

reflected at cavity and 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 container used and the properties of the food:

The roasting spit is a convenient of barbecuing a chicken, as the meat does not have to be turned over. It can be used for grill combination cooking.

Purpose:

6. Roasting spit, coupler barbecue and Skewer to be placed in the glass bowl.

•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 working correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “Troubleshooting” on the 43 page.

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 (100 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.

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.

Press the Start/+30s () button and set the time to 4

or 5 minutes, by pressing the Start/+30s () button the appropriate number of times.

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

SETTING THE TIME

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “:0”, “88:88” or “12:00” is automatically displayed on the display.

Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24- hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:

• When you first install your microwave oven

• After a power failure

Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.
