Miele H 115 MB Operating Instructions Manual page 15

When using the microwave mode, food
is cooked, re-heated or defrosted in a
short time.
This oven is equipped with two magne-
b
trons . These convert electrical en-
ergy into microwaves.
There are two stirrer fans
the oven ceiling and the other under
the oven floor. These two interior sur-
faces can be penetrated by micro-
waves. The fans distribute the micro-
waves from above and below evenly
throughout the oven interior, rebound-
ing off the walls to reach and enter the
food.
This contributes to the food being
heated through evenly, also when food
is being cooked on two levels, e.g. on
the floor of the oven and on the lower
shelf level.
In order for microwaves to reach the
food, they must be able to penetrate
the cooking utensil being used.
Microwaves can penetrate porcelain,
glass, cardboard and plastics but not
metal. Do not, therefore, use utensils
made of metal, or which contain metal,
for example in the form of gold or silver
trim. The metal reflects the microwaves
and this could lead to the creation of
sparks. The microwaves cannot be ab-
sorbed.
