1/NOTICES TO THE USER

•OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The microwaves used for cooking are electro-
magnetic waves. They are found naturally in
our environment as radio-electric waves, light
or infra-red radiation.
Their frequency is located in the 2450 MHz
band.
Their properties:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They can pass through all other mate-
rials.
• They are absorbed by molecules of
water, fat and sugar.
When a food is exposed to microwaves, the
molecules are quickly shaken up, which causes
heating.
The microwaves penetrate into the food to a
depth of around 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker,
it will be cooked to its core by conduction, as
with traditional cooking.
It is important to know that microwaves
cause a simple thermal reaction inside the
food, and that they are not harmful.
