How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the
colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•
Defrost
•
Reheat
•
Cook
Cooking principle
1.
The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reflected at cavity and
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
container used and the properties of
the food:
•
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initial temperature (refrigerated
or not)
NOTE
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking continues even
when you have taken the food out of the microwave 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.
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
NOTE
•
Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and
winter time.
•
Auto energy saving function
If you do not select any function when appliance is in the middle of setting or
operating with temporary stop condition, function is canceled and clock will
be displayed after 25 minutes.
Oven Lamp will be turned off after 5 minutes with door open condition.
