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
•  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
CHECKING THAT YOUR OVEN IS OPERATING 
CORRECTLY
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 Power Level button and set the time 
to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 
1 min button the 
appropriate number of times.
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.
SETTING THE ENERGY SAVE MODE
The oven has an Energy save mode. This facility saves electricity when the oven 
is not in use.
•  Press the Energy save button.
•  To remove Energy save mode, open the door and
then display shows current time. The oven is ready 
for use.
COOKING/REHEATING
The following procedure explains how to cook or reheat food. 
ALWAYS check your cooking settings before leaving the oven unattended.
First, place the food in the centre of the turntable. Then, close the door.
1.  Press the Power Level button.
Result : 
The 800 W (maximum cooking power) 
indications are displayed: 
Select the appropriate power level by 
pressing the 
Power Level button again 
until the corresponding wattage is displayed. Refer to the 
power level table on the next page.
2.  Set the cooking time by pressing the 10 min1 min and 
10 s button.
3.  Press the Start (
) button.
Result : 
The oven light comes on and the 
turntable starts rotating.
1)  Cooking starts and when it has
finished the oven beeps four times.
2)  The end reminder signal will beep 3 times (once every 
minute).
3)  The current time is displayed again.
Never switch the microwave oven on when it is empty.
