About microwave energy

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt
magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without
deforming or discolouring the food.
NOTE
The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you
must respect the standing time specified in this manual, which ensures cooking
evenly down to the core.

1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
through the whirling distribution
system. This is why the food is cooked
evenly.
The microwaves are absorbed down
2.
to the food up to a depth of approx.
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)
