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

• Reheat

• Cook

Cooking principle.

1. The microwaves generated by the

magnetron reflected at cavity and

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

container used and the properties of the

food:

• Quantity and density

• Water content

• Initial temperature (refrigerated or

not)

NOTE

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. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled

Troubleshooting on the pages 21 to 23.

NOTE

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 (100 % - 800 W)

is used, the water takes longer to boil.

Open the oven door.

Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.

Press the START/+30s button and set the

time to 4 or 5 minutes, by pressing the

START/+30s button the appropriate number

of times.

The oven heats the water for 4 or 5

minutes.

The water should then be boiling.

Power levels and time variations

The power level function enables you to adapt the amount of energy dissipated

and thus the time required to cook or reheat your food, according to its type and

quantity. You can choose between six power levels.

Power level Percentage Output

HIGH 100 % 800 W

MEDIUM HIGH 75 % 600 W

MEDIUM 56 % 450 W

MEDIUM LOW 38 % 300 W

DEFROST 23 % 180 W

LOW 13 % 100 W

The cooking times given in recipes and in this booklet correspond to the specific

power level indicated.

If you select a... Then the cooking time must be...

Higher power level

Lower power level

Decreased

Increased

Adjusting the cooking time

You can increase the cooking time by pressing the START/+30s button once for

each 30 seconds to be added.

• Check how cooking is progressing at any time simply by opening the door

• Increase the remaining cooking time

Method 1

To increase the cooking time of your food

during cooking, press the START/+30s

button once for each 30 seconds that you

wish to add.

• Example: To add three minutes, press

the START/+30s button six times.

Method 2

Just pressing the Up or Down button to

adjust cooking time.
