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.

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