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 color.
You can use your microwave oven to:
-
Defrost
-
Instant reheat
-
Cook
Cooking Principle
1.
The microwaves generated by the magnetron 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 receptacle 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
CHECKING THAT YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN IS OPERATING CORRECTLY
1.
First place a bowl of water on the turntable.
2.
Set the power level to high by turning Cooking Power Control knob.
3.
Set the time to 4-5 minutes by turning the Timer knob. 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 is used, the water takes longer to boil.
