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 micro-waves trigger within the food a simple thermal phenomenon
and that they are not harmful to one's health.
At the end of its life this product must not be discarded with household waste. It
must be taken to a recycling centre or to your dealer. This makes it possible to
avoid consequences resulting from inappropriate disposal that are harmful to health
and the environment, and to recycle materials to save energy and significant
resources.
A logo appears on the product reminding you not to discard it with household waste.
For further information, contact your council offices or the shop where you bought this
product.
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 therefore be carried out in the
best possible conditions, in compliance with the European directive in force concerning electrical
and electronic equipment waste. Contact your Town Hall or your retailer to find out where the
points for the collection of used machines nearest to your home are. Thank you for helping to
protect the environment.
