ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The microwaves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in ourenvironment in the form of radio-electric waves,light or infrared rays. Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.Their behaviour:

•They are reflected by metals.

•They travel through all other materials.

•They are absorbed by water, fat and sugarmolecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, its moleculesbegin moving rapidly, which causes heating.

The penetration depth of waves into the food isapproximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the coreof the food will be cooked by conduction, as intraditional cooking.It is valuable to note that the microwaves triggerwithin the food a simple thermal phenomenon andthat they are not harmful to one’s health.

The microwave + grill function

With the PIZZA function you can save time and energy cooking your favorite dishes and have them turn out as crispy, tasty and golden brown as if cooked in a traditional oven.

• Use of the PIZZA key together with the PIZZA dish, allows you to use the grill and microwave functions simultaneously.

• The PIZZA dish features a special coating that absorbs microwaves through its bottom.

• It radiates heat from below the food to cook or reheat it, giving it the required color

and crispness while the grill browns the top.

2 cooking methods :

• Without preheating - by using the PIZZA function you can cook and brown most

frozen meals and fresh, dough-based dishes without preheating the PIZZA dish. They turn out as crispy as if cooked in a traditional oven.

• With preheating - the PIZZA dish can be preheated using the PIZZA key for a maximum of 2 minutes. Preheating is recommended to cook or brown small pieces of meat or fish and some dough-based, frozen and take-out dishes.

Recommendations :

• Take foods out of their metallic or plastic packaging before cooking or rehea ting them with the PIZZA function.

• It is advisable to program shorter cooking times and extend if necessary.

• All foods with a skin or wrapping, such as potatoes and sausages, must be pierced

before cooking.

• Make sure pieces of meat are completely thawed out and dried off before searing with the PIZZA function.

• Keep an eye on the food’s coloring, just as you would with a traditional oven.

• Protect your hands when taking out the dish because it can be extremely hot.

• Do not serve stuffed foods (apple pastry for example) too quickly because they can

be warm on the surface whereas the filling is extremely hot.

• Cooking or reheating of eggs with the PIZZA function is prohibited.

• If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with the PIZZA function, allow the

oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning.

Care of the PIZZA dish

• The inside of the dish is covered with a non-stick coating,

so it is not necessary to grease it before use.

• Do not cut foods directly in the PIZZA dish as this damages the non-stick coating.

• The PIZZA dish is dishwasher-safe.

• Use a sponge, hot water and dishwashing liquid

to wash the dish. Do not use a metallic sponge or scouring powder.

Recommendations

• Do not place the PIZZA dish on the rack; this could

cause irremediable damage to your oven.

• Do not place the PIZZA dish in a traditional oven, on gas, electric or other stoves or on any very hot surface.

The PIZZA dish may be preheated for certain purposes

but never preheat for longer than 2 minutes.

• Do not leave any utensils in a hot PIZZA dish as the high temperature may damage them.

If you wish to cook several dishes consecutively with

the PIZZA function, allow the oven to cool 10 minutes between dishes for better browning
