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

• InstantReheat/Cook

• Cook

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 large

button in the bottom right-hand corner of the control panel.

First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1. Press the Power Level ( ) 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 ENERGY SAVE MODE

The oven has an energy save mode. This facility saves electricity when the

oven is not in use.

• The oven will default to energy save mode after 5 minutes if not used.

While in energy save mode, the display is blank and the oven cannot

used.

• Toremoveenergysavemode,openthedoorandthendisplayshows

“0”. The oven is ready for use.

• Ifyouwanttouseenergysavemode,pressthe

Energy Save ( ) button.
