Operating Principle; Protecting The Environment - Pelgrim MAG592RVS/P03 Notice D'utilisation

Operating principle

The micro-waves used for cooking are electro-
magnetic waves. They are commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric
waves, light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
· They are reflected by metals.
· They travel through all other materials.
· They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar
molecules.
When food is exposed to micro-waves, its
molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes
heating.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is
approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the
core of the food will be cooked by conduction,
as in traditional cooking.
It is valuable to note that the micro-waves trig-
ger within the food a simple thermal phe-
nomenon and that they are not harmful to
one's health.
