Microwave oven use
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 microwave 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 microwave oven is operating correctly
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your microwave oven is
working correctly at all times.
If you have any problems, see the “
” section on pages
NOTE
The microwave oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be placed in the microwave oven. If a power level other than the
maximum (100 % - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.
