The micro-waves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves.

They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range. Their behaviour: • • •

They are reflected by metals.

They travel through all other materials. They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to micro-waves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes heating.

The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in traditional cooking.

Protecting the environment

It is valuable to note that the micro-waves trigger within the food a simple thermal phenomenon and that they are not harmful to one's health.

At the end of its life this product must not be discarded with household waste. It must be taken to a recycling centre or to your dealer. This makes it possible to avoid consequences resulting from inappropriate disposal that are harmful to health

and the environment, and to recycle materials to save energy and significant resources.

A logo appears on the product reminding you not to discard it with household waste. For further information, contact your council offices or the shop where you bought this product.
