M Chef

How it works
M Chef technology uses electro-
magnetic waves to heat the food.
The Dialog oven combines two different
cooking methods:
– M Chef heats the entirety of the food
using electro-magnetic waves.
– Conventional heating elements are
also used to cook the food and
brown it from the outside.
Antennae in the roof of the oven release
electro-magnetic waves and measure
how much energy penetrates the food
at short intervals. The energy
penetration rate depends on the type of
food. Electro-magnetic waves penetrate
cakes, for example, more efficiently
than fatty food or frozen food.
Gourmet Units
Gourmet Units are the units that
indicate how much energy has
penetrated the food during cooking.
The Dialog oven regularly measures
how much energy has penetrated the
food and adapts the amount of energy
yet to be released accordingly. The
number of Gourmet Units able to
penetrate the food depends, for
example, on the weight and type of
food being cooked.
The M Chef functions use a
combination of M Chef technology and
conventional heat. There are two
different procedures for setting a
cooking process:
– In addition to the temperature, you
also have to set the number of
Gourmet Units. This energy is then
directed into the food until the
number set has been used.
The more Gourmet Units you set, the
more energy the food receives.
– You do not set any Gourmet Units,
just the temperature. Gourmet Units
are automatically added to the food.
This stops in the following instances:
– A maximum value of 2000
Gourmet Units has been reached.
– You interrupt the addition of
Gourmet Units by selecting
Stop
.
– You end the cooking programme.
