4.6. Cleaning and caring for the appliance
WARNING!
Risk of damage to the appliance.
•
Sensitive surfaces on the rotary plate. Avoid
contact with acidic foodstuffs. The rotary plate could be
damaged.
• Poor appliance hygiene can lead to damage to the surfaces,
which in turn can reduce the lifespan of the appliance and
even lead to dangerous situations.
• Clean the appliance regularly and remove food residues.
• Observe the instructions for cleaning the appliance when
cleaning the door seals, the interior cooking space and the
adjacent parts, see "10. Cleaning and care" on page 157.
5. About microwaves
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves that have a warming effect
on the food within the oven. Microwaves heat all non-metallic objects. Therefore,
do not use any metallic objects in microwave mode. This heating effect works better
the higher the water content of the foodstuff.
To ensure optimal distribution of heat, let food stand for a minute or two in the
microwave after cooking.
5.1. The eff ect of microwaves on foodstuff s
•
Microwaves penetrate foodstuffs to a depth of around 3cm.
•
They heat up water, fat and sugar molecules (foodstuffs with a high water
content are heated most intensively).
•
This heat then works its way – slowly – throughout the food and has a
defrosting, heating and cooking effect on the food.
•
The cooking space and the air within are not heated (the food container is
heated mainly by the hot food itself ).
•
Every foodstuff requires a certain amount of energy to cook or defrost. As a rule
of thumb we can say: high output – short time or low output – long time.
5.2. The microwave oven
•
A microwave generator, the so-called magnetron, generates the microwaves and
directs them into the cooking area.
•
The inner walls and the viewing window reflect the microwaves inwards so that
they cannot escape from the interior.
