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 or winter time.

How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour changing.

You can use your microwave oven to:

•Defrost (manual & auto)

•Cook

•Reheat

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
