use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a
3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an
extension cord, the interior light may icker and the speed of the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.

How a microwave oven works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The microwaves cause molecules
in the food to vibrate more quickly, releasing heat. This heat disperses through the food,
cooking it, reheating it, or defrosting it.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost (manual & auto)
• Cook
• Reheat
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 power
level setting you use and the properties
of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or
not)
IMPORTANT
As the center of the food is cooked by heat
dissipation, cooking continues even after
you have taken the food out of the oven.
You should use the standing times specied
in recipes and in this booklet to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the
center.
• The same temperature throughout the
food.
