How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are
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:
•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.
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1. Press the Microwave (
) button and set the time to
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.
Operation
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
•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.
