About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses its built-in magnetron
to generate microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the
food.
1.
The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly by
the whirling distribution system. This is
why the food is cooked evenly.
2.
The microwaves are absorbed into the
food up to a depth of approximately
1 inch (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
observe the standing times specified in
this manual, which ensure that the food is
cooked evenly down to the core.
