Before first use
•
Remove oven accessories and any packaging (cardboard, polystyrene foam) from the oven.
•
Wipe the oven accessories and interior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive or aggressive
cloths or cleaners.
•
Heat an empty oven for approximately one hour with the top and bottom heater system at a
temperature of 250 °C. The characteristic "new oven scent" will be released; therefore, ventilate
the room thoroughly during this process.
Microwave function
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting, and defrosting of food. They allow quick and efficient
cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in our
environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Microwave frequency is in the
2,450 MHz range.
Following are their characteristics:
- microwaves are reflected by metals,
- microwaves travel through other materials,
- microwaves are absorbed by water, fat, and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 cm deep into the food. If the food is thicker, the core of
the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.
WARNING!
Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
