The microwaves used for cooking are
electromagnetic waves. They are present
naturally in the environment in the form of radio
waves, or light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their properties:
- They are reflected by metal.
- They travel through all other materials.
-
They absorb water, fat and sugar
molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the
molecules are shaken rapidly, generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate the food up to a depth
of around 2.5 cm. If food items are thicker, they will
be cooked through to the centre by heat
conduction, as in traditional cooking.
It is important to know that the microwaves trigger
a simple thermal reaction within the food and that
they are not harmful.
The packaging for your appliance is made from
recyclable materials. Recycle them and help to
protect the environment by disposing of them in
the council receptacles provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains various
recyclable materials. It is therefore
marked with this logo to inform you
that worn-out appliances should not
be disposed of with other waste.
Appliance recycling organised by
your manufacturer will thus be carried out in
optimum conditions, in accordance with
European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste
electrical and electronic equipment. Please
contact your local council or your dealer for
information on the worn-out appliance collection
points nearest to your home. We thank you for
your help in protecting the environment.
