BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Before the first use, remove all components, including any transport equipment, from the
oven. Clean all accessories and utensils with warm water and regular detergent. Do not
use any abrasive cleaners.
MICROWAVE FUNCTION
Microwaves are used for cooking, roasting and defrosting food. They allow quick and
efficient cooking without changing the colour or shape of the food.
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. Such radiation is commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays. Their frequency
is in the 2,450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:
- They are reflected by metals.
- They travel through all other materials.
- They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules begin to move rapidly, thereby
generating heat.
The microwaves penetrate approximately 2.5 centimeters deep into the food. If the food
is thicker, the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.

Never use or activate a microwave system if the oven is empty.
