About microwave energy
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt
magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without
deforming or discolouring the food.
1.
The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
through the whirling distribution system.
This is why the food is cooked evenly.
2.
The microwaves are absorbed down to
the food up to a depth of approx. 2.5 cm.
Then, the microwaves are dissipated
inside the food as cooking continues.
3.
The cooking time is affected by the
following conditions of the food.
• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially, when
frozen)
NOTE
The cooked food keeps heat in its core
after cooking is complete. This is why you
must respect the standing time specified in
this manual, which ensures cooking evenly
down to the core.
Sound On/Off
You can turn on or off the key tone, beep, or alarm. This setting is available only in
Standby state (when the current time is displayed).

Energy saving
Energy save mode saves electricity when the oven is not being used.
To reduce power consumption, hold down
for 3 seconds. The display and all button
lights turn off. This setting is available only
in Standby state (when the current time is
displayed).
To disable Energy save mode, open the
door or press any button.
NOTE
•
When setting the oven after 10 minutes of user inactivity, the oven cancels any
ongoing operation and enters Standby state.
•
If the oven is paused for over 25 minutes while cooking, the oven enters Standby
state.
