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 to:
• Defrost
• Cook
Cooking principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron
are distributed uniformly by using a stirrer
distribution system. 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)
Important : As the center 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 center
• The same temperature throughout the food
