Description of your device
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found in our environment
in the form of radio waves, light, or infrared radiation.
Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz band.
This is how they work:
• They are reflected by metals.
• They pass through any other material.
• They are absorbed by water, fat and sugar molecules.
When food is exposed to microwaves, this results in a rapid agitation of its molecules, which makes the
food heat up.
The depth of penetration of the waves into the food is about 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker, cooking at its
centre occurs by conduction just like traditional cooking.
In essence, microwaves are simply causing a thermal change inside the food and are therefore not
harmful to health.
LES ACCESSOIRES
• The grill rack
Allows you to toast, brown or grill. The grill rack must
never be used with other metal containers in mi-
crowave, grill + microwave or fan + microwave mode.
However, you can heat food in an aluminium tray by
isolating it from the rack using a plate.
• Multi-purpose tray, drip tray, 45 mm
It can be used half filled with water for boiling food
with fan heat. It can serve as a cooking dish.
Note:
Make sure to centre the drip pan in the side
racks so that the airflow does not change.
• The grill rack + Multi-purpose tray, drip tray,
45 mm
To roast and save the cooking juices, place the grill
rack on the drip tray, 45 mm.
