“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.

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
