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.
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.

1.
The microwaves generated by the
magnetron are distributed uniformly
through the whirling distribution
system. This is why the food is cooked
evenly.
The microwaves are absorbed down
2.
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)
Cookware for microwave
Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through
and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect
microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware
marked microwave - safe is always safe for use. For additional information on
appropriate cookware refer to the following guide and place a glass of water or
some food on the turntable.
Requirements:
•
Flat bottom and straight sides
•
Tight-fitting lid
•
Well-balanced pan with handles that weigh less than the main pan

Description
safe
Use for a small serving size to
protect against overcooking.
Arcing can occur if the foil is
near the oven wall or if using an
excessive amount of foil.
Do not use for preheating for
more than 8 minutes.
Porcelain, pottery, glazed
earthenware and bone china are
usually microwave-safe, unless
decorated with a metal trim.
Some frozen foods are packaged
in these dishes.
Overheating may cause these
to melt.
These may catch fire.
These may cause arcing
