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 43 page.
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 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the 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.
Result:
The oven heats the water for 4 or 5
minutes. The water should then be boiling.
SETTING THE TIME
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:
• When you first install your microwave oven
• After a power failure
Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from summer
and winter time.
6. Roasting spit, coupler barbecue and Skewer
to
be placed in the glass bowl.
Purpose:
The roasting spit is a convenient of
barbecuing a chicken, as the meat
does not have to be turned over. It can
be used for grill combination cooking.
7. Glass bowl,
to be placed on the turntable.
Purpose:
Roasting stand is placed on the glass
bowl.

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)
