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
Reheat
Cook
Cooking principle.
1.
The microwaves generated by the
magnetron reflected at cavity and 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
container used and the properties of the
food:
Quantity and density
Water content
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
IMPORTANT
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. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled
Troubleshooting
” on the page 40-43.
NOTE
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 (100 % - 1000 W)
is used, the water takes longer to boil.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the upper side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.
Press the Microwave mode and set the
time to 4 or 5 minutes by pressing the
START/+30s
button.
Result:
The oven heats the water for 4 or
5 minutes. The water should then
be boiling.
