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
Cookingprinciple.
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
about1inch(2.5cm).Cookingthencontinuesastheheatis
dissipated within the food.
3. Cookingtimesvaryaccordingtothecontainerusedandthe
properties of the food:
•
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initialtemperature(refrigeratedornot)
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:
• Evencookingofthefoodrighttothecentre.
• Thesametemperaturethroughoutthefood.

MICROWAVES
Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and
sugar content.
The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of
these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food.
COOKING
Cookware for microwave cooking:
Cookwaremustallowmicrowaveenergytopassthroughitformaximumeciency.
Microwaves are reflected by metal, such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper, but
they can penetrate through ceramic, glass, porcelain and plastic as well as paper and
wood. So food must never be cooked in metal containers.
Food suitable for microwave cooking:
Many kinds of food are suitable for microwave cooking, including fresh or frozen
vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice, grains, beans, fish, and meat. Sauces, custard, soups,
steamed puddings, preserves, and chutneys can also be cooked in a microwave oven.
Generally speaking, microwave cooking is ideal for any food that would normally be
prepared on a hob. Melting butter or chocolate, for example (see the chapter with tips,
techniquesandhints).
Covering during cooking
To cover the food during cooking is very important, as the evaporated water rises as
steamandcontributestocookingprocess.Foodcanbecoveredindierentways:e.g.
with a ceramic plate, plastic cover or microwave suitable cling film.
Standing times
After cooking is over food the standing time is important to allow the temperature to even
out within the food.

REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens
hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in

Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using
600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Checkthetablesforguidance.Ingeneral,itisbettertoreheatfoodusingalowerpower
level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly
(mincepies,forexample).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again
before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling
of liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the
microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass
stickintotheliquids.Avoidoverheating(andthereforespoiling)thefood.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary.
Heating and standing times
Whenreheatingfoodforthersttime,itishelpfultomakeanoteofthetimetaken–for
future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is
recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the
safety precautions.

DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected
guests suddenly show up.
Frozenpoultrymustbethoroughlythawedbeforecooking.Removeanymetaltiesand
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Putthefrozenfoodonadishwithoutcover.Turnoverhalfway,drainoanyliquidand
removeanygibletsassoonaspossible.Checkthefoodoccasionallytomakesurethatit
does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by
wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand
for 20 minutes before continuing. Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to
complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on
the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time
thanbiggerones.Rememberthishintwhilefreezinganddefrostingfood.

06 COOKING GUIDE
GRILL
The grill-heating element is located underneath the ceiling of the cavity. It operates while
the door is closed and the turntable is rotating. The turntable’s rotation makes the food
brown more evenly. Preheating the grill for 3-5 minutes will make the food brown more
quickly.
Cookware for grilling:
Should be flameproof and may include metal. Do not use any type of plastic cookware,
as it can melt.
Food suitable for grilling:
Chops,sausages,steaks,hamburgers,baconandgammonrashers,thinshportions,
sandwiches and all kinds of toast with toppings.
Important remark:
Whenever the grill only mode is used, please remember that food must be placed on the
high rack, unless another instruction is recommended.
MICROWAVE + GRILL
This cooking mode combines the radiant heat that is coming from the grill with the speed
of microwave cooking. It operates only while the door is closed and the turntable is
rotating. Due to the rotation of the turntable, the food browns evenly. Three combination
modes are available with this model:
600W+Grill,450W+Grilland300W+Grill.
Cookware for cooking with microwaves + grill
Pleaseusecookwarethatmicrowavescanpassthrough.Cookwareshouldbe
flameproof. Do not use metal cookware with combination mode. Do not use any type of
plastic cookware, as it can melt.
Food suitable for microwaves + grill cooking:
Food suitable for combination mode cooking include all kinds of cooked food which
needreheatingandbrowning(e.g.bakedpasta),aswellasfoodswhichrequireashort
cooking time to brown the top of the food. Also, this mode can be used for thick food
portions that benefit from a browned and crispy top (e.g. chicken pieces, turning them
overhalfwaythroughcooking).Pleaserefertothegrilltableforfurtherdetails.
Important remark:
Wheneverthecombinationmode(microwave+grill)isused,thefoodshouldbeplaced
on the high rack, unless another instruction is recommended. Please refer to the
instructions in the following chart.
The food must be turned over, if it is to be browned on both sides.
