How a Microwave Oven Works EN Microwaves are high - frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy released enables food to be cooked or reheated without changing either the form or the colour. You can use your microwave to: • Defrost • Cook Cooking Principle 1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly by using a stirrer distribution system. The food is thus cooked evenly. 2. The microwaves are absorbed by the food up to a depth of about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Using Microwave Mode Microwaves are high frequency electromagnetic waves. In microwave cooking, microwave energy penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. EN Setting Microwave Mode 1 3 2 Turn MODE SELECTOR to microwave position. Time and power level will appear on DISPLAY.
Using Microwave Mode (Continued) EN Guide to Microwave Power Levels POWER LEVEL PERCENTAGE (%) OUTPUT POWER (W) REMARK HIGH 100 800 For heating up liquids. HIGH LOW 83 700 For heating up and cooking food. MEDIUM HIGH 67 600 For heating up and cooking food. MEDIUM 50 450 MEDIUM LOW 33 300 DEFROST 20 180 For defrosting and continued cooking. LOW 11 100 For defrosting delicate foods. For cooking meat and heating up delicate foods. 36 CQ138SC_XSA-DE68-03437H_EN.
Using Microwave Mode (Continued) Microwave Cookware Guide Cookware used for Microwave Mode must allow microwaves to pass through and penetrate food. Metals such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper reflect microwaves. Therefore, do not use cookware made of metallic materials. Cookware marked microwave - safe is always safe for use. For additional information on appropriate cookware refer to the following guide and always use the ceramic tray on shelf Level 1 when using microwave mode.
Using Microwave Mode (Continued) EN Cookware Microwave-Safe Comments Paper • Plates, cups, napkins and Kitchen paper For short cooking times and warming. Also to absorb excess moisture. • Recycled paper May cause arcing. Plastic • Containers Particularly if heat-resistant thermoplastic. Some other plastics may warp or discolour at high temperatures. Do not use Melamine plastic. • Cling film Can be used to retain moisture. Should not touch the food.
Using Microwave Mode (Continued) Microwave Cooking Guide MICROWAVES EN Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
Using Microwave Mode (Continued) EN COOKING GUIDE FOR FRESH VEGETABLES Use a suitable glass pyrex bowl with lid. Add 30-45 ml cold water (2-3 tbsp.) for every 250 g unless another water quantity is recommended – see table. Cook covered for the minimum time – see table.
