Group 2 contains all ISM devices (industrial, scientific, medical) generating radio frequency energy and/or using radio frequency energy in the form of electro-magnetic radiation to process materials; it also comprises spark erosion devices. Class B specifies devices designed for domestic use, or any similar devices integrated in the general power grid supplying domestic units. The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011:1998+A1+A2) Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly as a result of the food temperature. Always use suitable kitchen utensils Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the glass turntable. Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks, resulting in possible 12 – – damage to the unit. As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. [. . . ] - As a basic rule: half the amount - half the time. Double the amount - almost double the time. € Operating sequence - Place the food to be heated into a suitable container. Place the container onto the turntable in the oven. [. . . ]
