How a microwave oven works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to
be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost (manual & auto)
• Cook
• Reheat

1. The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly as
the food rotates on the turntable. The
food is thus cooked evenly.
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
recipient used and the properties of the
food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
IMPORTANT
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.
