Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and
causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
The outer areas of food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating. Where recommended, allow food to
stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure
thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense
food, such as joints of meat.
NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
• Microwaves are reflected by metal.
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic
mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.
• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 27-28.
NOTES:
•
Your oven can be programmed up to 99 minutes, 90 seconds (99.90)
.
• When the door is opened during cooking, the cooking time on the display stops. The cooking time starts to count
down again when the door is closed and the START/AUTO MINUTE key is pressed.
• When oven operation is finished, the time of day will reappear on the display, if set.
