c) Operating principle
The micro-waves used for cooking are electro-magnetic waves. They are commonly found in
our environment in the form of radio-electric waves, light or infrared rays.
Their frequency is in the 2450 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 micro-waves, its molecules begin moving rapidly, which causes
heating.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker,
the core of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in traditional cooking.
d) Protecting the environment
It is valuable to note that the microwaves trigger within the food causes a simple phenomenon and that they are not thermal
harmful to one’s health.
This appliance’s packing materials are recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by disposing of
them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.
Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. Thus it is stamped with this logo to indicate to you
that used appliances should be mixed with other waste. The recycling of appliances organised by your
manufacturer will take place under the best conditions, in compliance with European directive 2002/96/CE
concerning electrical and electronic equipment waste. Consult your city hall or your retailer to find the drop-off
points for used appliances that is nearest to your home. We thank you for your help in protecting the
environment.

The ideal utensil for a microwave is made of transparent material as it allows energy to pass
through the container and heat the food.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
Round or oval dishes rather than square or oblong ones are recommended, as food in
corners tends to overcook.
Narrow strips of aluminium foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But
be careful and do not use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2,54cm) between foil and
cavity.
See the instructions on “Materials you can use in microwave oven or to be avoided in
microwave oven”. There may be certain non-metallic utensils that are not safe to use for
microwaving. If in doubt, you can test utensil in question following the procedure below.
