DESCRIPTION OF THE OVEN
THE TURNTABLE
The turntable ensures equal cooking of food throughout with no need to intervene.
It rotates in both directions. If it does not turn, verify that all components are properly posi-
tioned.
It may be used as a cooking dish. For easy removal, wells are provided on either side.
Rotation is controlled by the drive shaft and the wheel support.
If you take out the support with the drive spindle, make sure you do not let water get into
the motor spindle orifice.
Remember to put back the support, the support wheels and the glass turntable.
Do not try to rotate the glass turntable manually, as you could damage the drive system. If it
does not turn smoothly, make sure that there is nothing in the well beneath the turntable.
When the turntable is in the stop position, large dishes can be used which cover the entire sur-
face of the oven. In this case, it is necessary to turn the container or to mix its content half-way
through the programme.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The microwaves used for cooking are electromagnetic waves. They are commonly found in our
environment in the form of radio waves, light and 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 microwaves its molecules begin moving rapidly, causing it to heat up.
The penetration depth of waves into the food is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker, the
centre of the food will be cooked by conduction, as in conventional cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple thermal phenomenon within food and are not harmful to
health.
