HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour
changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•
Defrost (manual & auto)
•
Cook
•
Reheat
Cooking Principle.
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron 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 recipient 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.
Open the oven door by pushing the push button on the bottom side of the
control panel. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1.
Press the Number button to enter operating time.
(4 to 5 minutes)
2.
Press the
Start
button.
Result:
The oven light comes on and the
turntable starts rotating.
1) Cooking starts and when it has
finished the oven beeps 4 times.
2) The end reminder signal will beep 3 times (once every
minute).
3) The current time is displayed again.
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.
