About microwave energy

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The oven uses the prebuilt magnetron to generate microwaves which are used to cook or reheat food without deforming or discolouring the food.

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly through the whirling distribution system. This is why the food is cooked evenly.
2. The microwaves are absorbed down to the food up to a depth of approx. cm. Then, the microwaves are dissipated inside the food as cooking continues.
3. The cooking time is affected by the following conditions of the food.

• Quantity and density
• Moisture content
• Initial temperature (especially, when frozen)

NOTE The cooked food keeps heat in its core after cooking is complete. This is why you must respect the standing time specified in this manual, which ensures cooking evenly down to the core.

Cookware for microwave

Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following guide and place a glass of water or some food on the turntable.

Requirements:

• Flat bottom and straight sides
• Tight-fitting lid
• Well-balanced pan with handles that weigh less than the main pan

: Microwave safe

: Use caution

: Microwave unsafe
