Setting the Time
Your microwave oven has an inbuilt clock. The time can be displayed
in either the 24-hour or 12-hour notation. You must set the clock:
• When you first install your microwave oven
• After a power failure
✉ Do not forget to reset the clock when you switch to and from
summer and winter time.
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 of the food.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Auto Power Defrost
• Auto Reheat/Cook
• Cook
Cooking Principle
☛ 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

1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. The food is thus cooked evenly.

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)
