Description
and the
function.
In order to save energy, the light
turns off after a minute at the start of
cooking (this function can be
deactivated via the secondary
menu).
When the door is open, it is not
possible to turn off the interior
lighting (on some models only).
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see 2.1 General
Description).

2.4 Microwaves

The appliance is equipped with a
microwave generator called a magnetron.
The microwaves generated are evenly
emitted into the oven cavity in order to
reach the food and heat it.
Heating takes place through the process of
friction between the molecules contained
within the food (mainly water molecules),
with the consequent generation of heat.
The heat generated directly inside the food
leads to defrosting, re-heating or cooking in
a shorter length of time compared to
traditional cooking.
The use of suitable containers for
microwave cooking allows the microwaves
to reach the food in a uniform manner (see
Materials suitable for microwaves).
