Therefore guidelines for cookware and other microwave safety precautions must be strictly observed when using this mode. 26 How a Microwave Oven Works Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour. You can use your microwave to: · Defrost · Cook Cooking Principle 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by using stirrer distribution system. 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. 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 27 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 1 Turn MODE SELECTOR to microwave position. Time and power level will appear on DISPLAY. 2 Turn MULTI-FUNCTION SELECTOR to set desired cooking time. When cooking time is set, START will blink. If you do not wish to change power level, press START to start cooking. 3 To change power level, press POWER LEVEL / ENTER and turn MULTIFUNCTION SELECTOR to desired level. Refer to Cooking Guides (pages 32 to 37) for guidelines on appropriate cooking times and power levels. 4 Press START to start cooking. 28 Using Microwave Mode (Continued) Guide to Microwave Power Levels POWER LEVEL HIGH HIGH LOW MEDIUM HIGH MEDIUM MEDIUM LOW DEFROST LOW PERCENTAGE (%) 100 83 67 50 33 20 11 OUTPUT POWER (W) 900 750 600 450 300 180 100 REMARK For heating up liquids.

Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave-safe is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to following guide and always use ceramic tray on shelf Level 1 when using microwave mode. [. . . ] In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock providing an escape wire for the electric current. The appliance is equipped with a mains lead which includes an earth wire for connecting to the earth terminal of your mains plug. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and earthed. Important The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green-and yellow Blue Brown : Neutral : Live : Earth As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
