oven use
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 buttons 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 1 time
(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.
