OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment in the form of radio waves, light, or infrared radiation.

Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz band.

This is how they work:

• They are reflected by metals.
• They pass through any other material.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves, this results in a rapid agitation of its molecules, which makes the food heat up.

The depth of penetration of the waves into the food is about 2.5cm . If the food is thicker, cooking at its centre occurs by conduction just like traditional cooking.

In essence, microwaves are simply causing a thermal change inside the food and are therefore not harmful to health.

LES ACCESSORIES

The grill rack

Allows you to toast, brown or grill. The grill rack must never be used with other metal containers in microwave, grill + microwave or fan + microwave mode. However, you can heat food in an aluminium tray by isolating it from the rack using a plate.

- Multi-purpose tray, drip tray, 45 mm

It can be used half filled with water for boiling food with fan heat. It can serve as a cooking dish.

Note:

Make sure to centre the drip pan in the side racks so that the airflow does not change.

• The grill rack + Multi-purpose tray, drip tray, 45 mm

To roast and save the cooking juices, place the grill rack on the drip tray, 45mm

ACCESSIONS

The shelf runners

2 shelf supports allow you to use the rack at 3 heights.

The turntable plate

The turntable plate allows even cooking of the food without having to handle it.

It rotates in both directions. If it does not rotate, verify that all components are properly positioned. It can be used as a cooking dish. To remove it, take hold of it by using the access areas in the cavity. The turntable allows the glass plate to turn.

If you remove the turntable, avoid getting water in the motor shaft hole.

Do not forget to put the turntable, the roller frame and the glass turntable plate back in.

Do not attempt to manually turn the glass plate as this may damage the drive system. If it does not turn properly, check that there is nothing underneath the plate stopping it from turning.

If the plate is set to the stop position, large dishes can be placed on the entire surface of the oven. In this case you will need to manually turn the container or mix its contents mid-program.
