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)
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 75.
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 % - 900 W) is used,
the water takes longer to boil.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.
Press the START/+30s button and set the time to 4 or
5 minutes, by pressing the START/+30s button the appropriate
number of times.

The oven heats the water for 4 or 5 minutes.
The water should then be boiling.
