About microwave energy

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The magnetron built into the oven
generates microwaves which cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring it.

1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
by the microwave's distribution system.
This is why the food cooks evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed by
the food to a depth of approx. 1 inch
(2.5 cm). Then, the microwaves dissipate
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 retains heat in its core
after cooking is complete. This is why you
must observe the standing times specified
in this manual, which ensures food cooks
evenly down to the core.
