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 “What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem” on the page 37.

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 upper 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.

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:

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

COOKING/REHEATING

The following procedure explains how to cook or reheat food.

ALWAYS check your cooking settings before leaving the oven unattended.

Open the door. Place the food in the centre of the turntable. Close the door. Never switch the microwave oven on when it is empty.

1.Press the Microwave () button.

Result: The following indications are displayed: (microwave mode)

2.Select the appropriate power level by pressing the

Microwave () button again until the corresponding output power is displayed. Refer to the power level table next page for further details.

3. Set the cooking time by turning the Dial knob.

Result: The cooking time is displayed.

4.Press the Start/+30s () button.

Result: The oven light comes on and the turntable starts rotating. Cooking starts and when it has finished:

The oven beep and flash “0” four times.

The oven will then beep one time per minute.
