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
•
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.

04 OVEN USE
Auto sensor cooking instructions
The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of
gases generated from the food while cooking.
•
When cooking food, many kinds of gases are generated.
The Auto Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these
gases from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level.
•
WhenyoucoveracontainerwithitslidorplasticwrapduringSensorCooking,the
Auto Sensor will detect the gases generated after the container has been saturated
with steam.
If using cling film or plastic wrap be sure to leave a small opening near the
edge of dish for ventilation or be sure to pierce at several times.
•
Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down.
This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is
necessary.
•
Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning
sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so
these ingredients should be added after cooking.
Utensils & Cover for sensor cooking
•
To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting
appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book.
•
Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic
wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the
proper rate.
•
Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not
have its own lid, use plastic wrap.
•
Fill containers at least half full.
•
Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of
theSensorCookcycle,afterthetimehasstartedtocountdownonthedisplay.
Important
•
After installing the oven and plugging into an electrical outlet, do not unplug the
power cord. The gas sensor needs time to stabilize in order to cook satisfactorily.
•
It is not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking
operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another.
•
Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to
ensure the sensor will operate accurately.
•
To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient
temperature is too high or too low.
•
Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Gas resulting from this detergent
mayaectthesensor.
•
Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will
interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor.
•
Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth. This oven
is designed for household use only.

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,
techniques and hints).
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
thechartconsiderliquidswitharoomtemperatureofabout+18to+20°Corachilled

Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 1000 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
(mince pies, for example).
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
stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
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
remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Checkthefoodoccasionallytomakesurethatitdoesnotfeelwarm.
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.
