You can use your microwave oven to: • Defrost • Instant Reheat/Cook • Cook Cooking Principle. 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. 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) 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 Checking that your oven is operating correctly The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is working correctly at all times. Open the oven door by pushing the large button in the bottom right-hand corner of the control panel. First, place a bowl of water on the turntable. 1. Press the Power Level button and set the time to 4-5 minutes by pressing the 1 min button the appropriate number of times. Result : The oven heats the water for 4 to 5 minutes. The water should then be boiling. 02 OVEN USE 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. Setting the time Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock.

[. . . ] The oven does not start when you press the ( ) button. • Have you set the timer correctly and/or pressed the ( ) button?• Have you overloaded the electric circuit and caused a fuse to blow or a breaker to be triggered?The food is either overcooked or undercooked.
