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.

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly
at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled “Troubleshooting” on the page
57-58.
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 (100 % - 900 W) is
used, the water takes longer to boil.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.
Press the
sTarT/+30s
button and set the time to 4 or 5
minutes, by pressing the
sTarT/+30s
button the appropriate
number of times.
result:
The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes. The
water should then be boiling.

Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “88:88” and then
“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:

• After a power failure
Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer and winter time.
