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 to:
• Microwave mode
• Combi-functions
Cooking Principle
Important
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 specifi ed 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.
•
EN 18
1. The microwaves generated by the microwave are
distributed uniformly by using a stirrer distribution
system. 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 container used
and the properties of the food:
Quantity and density
•
Water content
•
Initial temperature (Refrigerated or not)
