Microwave Use - ETNA CM350ZT/E02 Instructions For Use Manual

BEFORE USE

Microwave use

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be
cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.
Microwave is used in:
• Microwave mode
• Combi-function
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the microwave are distributed uniformly, using a rotating
distribution system to ensure that the food is cooked evenly. 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 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.
▷
An even temperature throughout the food.

Microwave cookware guide
Cookware used for 'Microwave Mode' must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate
food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. That is why
cookware made of metallic materials should not be used. Cookware marked 'microwave - safe'
is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following
guide and always use the glass tray on shelf Level 1 when using microwave mode.
