English 23Before you startAbout microwave energyMicrowaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses its built-in magnetron to generate microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food.1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by the whirling distribution system. This is why the food is cooked evenly.2. The microwaves are absorbed into the food up to a depth of approximately 1 inch (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)NOTEThe cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you must observe the standing times specied in this manual, which ensure that the food is cooked evenly down to the core.MC12J8035CT_AA_DE68-04367A-00_EN.indd 23 2015-06-11  12:16:17
24 EnglishBefore you startBefore you startCookware for microwave modeCookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and copper reect microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware, refer to the following guide.Requirements:• Flat bottom and straight sides• Tight-tting lid• Well-balanced pan with handles that weigh less than the main panMaterial Microwave-safe DescriptionAluminium foilUse for a small serving size to protect against overcooking.
