oven use
HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables
food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•
Defrost
•
Instant Reheat/Cook
•
Cook
Cooking Principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed
uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. 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 recipient used and the
properties of the food:
•
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
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
•
The same temperature throughout the food
CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly
at all times. Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the bottom right-hand
corner of the control panel.
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1. Press the +30s button once for each 30 seconds to be
added.
2. Press the STA RT button.
Result: The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes.
The water should then be boiling.
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The turntable must be
in position in the oven. If a power level other than the maximum is used, the water
takes longer to boil.
Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. When power is supplied, “:0”, “88:88” or
“12:00” is automatically displayed on the display.
Please set the current time. The time can be displayed in either the 24- hour or 12-hour
notation. You must set the clock:
•
