THE MICROWAVE A microwave is mainly used for quickly heating, preparing and defrosting

preparing ready-to-eat meals or a glass or bottle of (baby)milk. Using the

microwave function will accelerate the defrosting, preparing and heating

How does a microwave work?

• The microwave works through electromagnetic microwaves, which

are sent by a high voltage system. These microwaves have a frequency

of 2450MHz and are not ionizing. This means they do not damage

the molecules. The microwaves turn the water within the food into

heat. Besides water, also fat molecules within the food are eective to

transform radiation energy into heat.

• The microwaves are going directly through tableware, which allows the

food to heat up quickly. Vitamins and natural avours will be preserved.

• Because the microwaves remain within the device, the heating is in

some parts more intense than in others. For this reason, the microwave

is generally equipped with a glass turntable. Due to the rotating

motion, the turntable enables the energy to be divided more equally

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
