housing. The oven must be connected via a standardised power cable with 3
conductors of 1.5mm² (1 live + 1 neutral + earth) which must be connected to
the network by means of an IEC 60083 standard power socket or via an all-pole
cut-off device in compliance with the installation rules.
Check that:
– the electrical installation has sufficient voltage (220-240 Volts~ 16 Amps),

ACCESSORIES
Anti-tip safety rack
This allows you to toast, brown or grill. The rack should never be used with
other metal cookware on the microwave, grill + microwave or forced air +
microwave modes.
However, you can reheat food in an aluminium tray providing this is isolated
from the rack using a plate. Multi-purpose tray, drip tray,
45 mm.
This can be used half-filled with water for double-boiler cooking methods in
fan cooking. It can be used as a cooking dish. Note:
Take care to place the drip tray in the centre of the side racks to avoid
affectingair circulation.
Rack + Multi-purpose tray, drip tray, 45 mm
to roast and retain the cooking juices, place the rack on the drip tray. The shelf supports
2 hanging supports allow you to use the rack at three heights. 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 positioned.
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 surface 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.
