OW TO OPERATE THE OVEN

H

Introduction: Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs
microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This
creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get
warm when you rub them together.
The outer areas of food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even
heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this
is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough
cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such
as joints of meat.

NOTES

:

• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and

utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.

• Microwaves are reflected by metal.

• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic

mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.

• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

To check the stored programmes please refer to
"Memory check" on page 11.

To change the stored programmes please refer to
"Memory programme entry" on page 8.

Example: If you want to cook by using memory 1, which was programmed for 10 seconds at 100%.

This oven has 20 memory banks (1-20) which can
store cooking programmes.

The memory banks 1-0 have been programmed
previously as shown in the table. These prepro-
grammed memory banks can be changed indi-
vidually if required.

In addition for all memory banks a time constant
1.7 for the double quantity is stored. The stored
time constant can also be changed individually if
required.

Information in these memory banks is not lost due
to power interruptions. If the power goes off, the
oven does not need to be reprogrammed. No bat-
teries are necessary for this type of memory.

If you want to memorise or check the programme
or cook using memory 11-20, press the desired
NUMBER pad twice within 1 second.
