Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly
The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is work-
ing correctly at all times.
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.
➢ 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.
1 Set the power level to maximum by turning COOKING POWER
CONTROL knob.
2 Set the time by turning the TIMER( ) dial.
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.
How a Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released
enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour
changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
◆ Defrost
◆ Cook
Cooking Principle
☛ 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
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)
