When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby
generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters deep into the food. If the food
is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Upon receiving the appliance, remove all parts, including any transport equipment, from
the oven.
Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
When the oven heats up for the first time, the characteristic smell of a new appliance will
be emitted. Ventilate the room thoroughly during the first use.
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for
cooking, roasting, and defrosting of food.
They allow quick and
efficient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency
is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
- They are reflected by metals.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
