About microwave energy

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food.

1.The microwaves generated by the

magnetron are distributed uniformly through the whirling distribution system. This is why the food is cooked evenly.

2.The microwaves are absorbed down to

the food up to a depth of approx. 2.5 cm. Then, the microwaves are dissipated inside the food as cooking continues.

3.The cooking time is affected by the following conditions of the food.

Quantity and density

Moisture content

Initial temperature (especially, when frozen)

NOTE

The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you must respect the standing time specified in this manual, which ensures cooking evenly down to the core.
