You can use your microwave to: · Defrost · Cook Cooking Principle 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by using a stirrer distribution system The food is thus cooked evenly . 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 container used and the properties of the food: · Quantity and density · Water content · Initial temperature (Refrigerated or not) Important 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 3 Using Microwave Mode Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves. In microwave cooking, microwave energy penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. Setting Microwave Mode EN 1 Turn MODE SELECTOR to microwave position Time and power level will appear on DISPLAY Turn MULTI-FUNCTION SELECTOR to set desired cooking time If you do not wish to change power level, press START to start cooking 3 Note To change power level, press Select ( ) button and turn MULTIFUNCTION SELECTOR to desired power level Refer to Cooking Guides (pages 39 to 43) for guidelines on appropriate cooking times and power levels Press START to start cooking Result Cooking starts and when it has finished.
