IMPORTANT

Young children or infirm persons should microwave oven. Nor should they be left unattended near the microwave oven when it is in use. Items of interest to children should not be stored or hidden just above the oven.

During the heating of liquids the boiling point can be delayed; this

means that eruptive boiling can start after the container is removed from the oven. You may scald yourself.

NEVER

fill the container to the top and choose a container that is wider at the top than at the bottom to prevent the liquid from boiling over. Bottles with narrow necks may also explode if overheated.

How a Microwave Oven Works

Cooking Principle

The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

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.

Cooking times vary according to the container 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
