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)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the 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
CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your
oven is working correctly at all times.
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1.
Press the
Microwave
( ) button and set the
time to 4-5 minutes by pressing the
1 min
button the appropriate number of times.
2.
Press the
START
( ) button.
Result :
The oven heats the water for 4 to
5 minutes. The water should then
be boiling.
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket.
The turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level
other than the maximum is used, the water takes longer to
boil.
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
Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from
summer and winter time.
