oven use

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
•  Instant Reheat/Cook
•  Cook

Cooking Principle.

1.  The microwaves generated by the magnetron 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 recipient 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

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly 

at all times. Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the bottom right-hand 

corner of the control panel.
First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.

1.  Press the +30s button once for each 30 seconds to be 

added.

2.  Press the START button.

Result:  The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes.  

The water should then be boiling.

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 is used, the water 

takes longer to boil.
