Operating principle

Their characteristics:

they are reflected by metals
they pass through all other materials
they are absorbed by the molecules of water, fat and sugar.

When food is exposed to microwaves, their molecules start to move quickly, which makes food heat up.

Microwaves can penetrate about 2.5cm into food.

If the food is thicker, the inaccessible parts are cooked thanks to the transmission of heat, similar to conventional cooking.

3.2 Anomalies & solutions

Trouble shooting	Normal
Interference between microwave oven and television	Radio and television reception may interfere when the microwave is in use. This phenomenon can also occur with small household appliances such as mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.
Dim lighting	During low power cooking, the light intensity may decrease. This is normal.
Steam build up on the door, hot air coming out of the ventilation grilles	During cooking, steam may escape from the food. Most of the heat is dissipated through the ventilation grilles. However, a part can be deposited on nearby cold parts, such as the oven door. This is normal. porte
The oven accidentally started without food inside.	It is forbidden to start the microwave oven without food inside. This is very dangerous.

Trouble	Possible cause	Solution / information
The device does not start.	The cable is not connected correctly.	Remove the cable. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the device.
	The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker has cut the power.	Replace the fuse or restart the circuit breaker (repaired by a professional)
	The power outlet is defective.	Test the plug using another device.
The oven does not heat up.	The door is not closed properly.	Please close the door properly.

3.3 Acrylamide in foodstuffs

Which foods are affected?

Acrylamide is mainly found in seeds and potatoes heated to high temperatures, such as fries, crisps, toasted breads, rolls, breads and other fine bakery products (cookies, gingerbread, speculoos).

Tips for reducing acrylamide strength

General	Try to reduce the cooking time. Cook food until lightly browned. Large, thick pieces contain less acrylamide.
Dry cupcakes, oven fried	Bake at 200°C max in traditional mode or 180°C in fan mode. Egg white and yolk reduce the formation of acrylamide.Distribute them evenly on the baking sheet and on a single layer. Cook at least 400 g per plate, so that the fries do not dry out.
