HOW A MICROWAVE OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form or colour changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
•	Defrost (manual & auto)•	Cook•	Reheat
Cooking	Principle.
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.
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 pulling the handle on the right side of the door. Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1. Press the Microwave () button.
Result : The 800 W (maximum cooking power) indications are displayed:
2. Set the time 4 to 5 minutes by turning the dial knob and press the Start/+30s () button.
Result:  The oven light comes on and the turntable starts rotating.
1)	 Cooking	starts	and	when	it	has	finished	the	oven	beeps	4 times.2) The end reminder signal will beep 3 times (once every minute).3) The current time is displayed again.
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 t\
he maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.
