The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working
correctly at all times. If you are in doubt, refer to the section entitled "What to Do if
You are in Doubt or Have a Problem" on the page.
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than the
maximum (100% - 900 W) is used, the water takes longer to boil.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Close the door.
Press the Start ( ) button and set the time to 4 or 5 minutes,
by pressing the Start ( ) button the appropriate number of

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
Cooking Principle
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 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)
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
