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. 2.5 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 specied 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 reect
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-tting lid
• Well-balanced pan with handles that weigh less than the main pan
Material
Microwave-
safe
Description
Aluminium foil
Use for a small serving size to
protect against overcooking.
Arcing can occur if the foil is
near the oven wall or if using
an excessive amount of foil.
Crusty plate
Do not use for preheating for
more than 8 minutes.
Bone china or earthenware
Porcelain, pottery, glazed
earthenware and bone china are
usually microwave-safe, unless
decorated with a metal trim.
Disposable polyester cardboard
dishes
Some frozen foods are
packaged in these dishes.
Fast-food
packaging
Polystyrene cups
or containers
Overheating may cause these
to melt.
Paper bags or
newspaper
These may catch re.
Recycled paper or
metal trims
These may cause arcing
