1 CE104CF GB-1 2003.4.19 4:24 PM Page 10 How a Microwave Oven Works 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 oven to: ◆ Defrost ◆ Reheat ◆ Cook Cooking Principle 1 The microwaves generated by the magnetron are distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the glass plate. The food is thus cooked evenly.
1 CE104CF GB-1 2003.4.19 4:24 PM Page 11 What to Do if You are in Doubt or Have a Problem GB Becoming familiar with a new appliance always takes a little time.

1 CE104CF GB-2 2003.4.19 4:25 PM Page 18 Using a Crusty Plate Normally when cooking food, such as pizzas or pies, on a grill or in a microwave oven, the dough or pastry becomes soggy. This can be avoided by using a crusty plate; as a high temperature is reached quickly, the crust turns crisp and brown. The crusty plate can also be used for bacon, eggs, sausages, etc.
1 CE104CF GB-2 2003.4.19 4:25 PM Page 19 Using a Crusty Plate (continued) How to clean the crusty plate GB The best way to clean the crusty plate is to wash it with hot water and detergent and rinse off with clean water.

1 CE104CF GB-2 2003.4.19 4:25 PM Page 23 Preheating the Oven GB For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven. The maximum preheating time is 60 minutes. When the oven reaches the requested temperature, it is maintained for approximately 10 minutes; it is then switched off automatically.
1 CE104CF GB-2 2003.4.19 4:25 PM Page 24 Grilling The grill enables you to heat and brown food quickly, without using microwaves. ◆ Always use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot. ◆ You can get better cooking and grilling, if you use the high rack. 1 Check that the heating element is in the horizontal position, unless you are using the roasting spit, and that the appropriate rack is in position. 2 Open the door and place the food on the rack.
1 CE104CF GB-2 2003.4.19 4:25 PM Page 25 Spit-Roasting GB The roasting spit is useful for barbecue cooking, as you do not need to turn the meat over. It can be used for combined microwave and grill cooking. ☛ ◆ Make sure that the weight of the meat is evenly distributed on the spit and the spit rotates freely. ◆ Always use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot.
1 CE104CF GB-3 2003.4.19 4:29 PM Page 26 Combining Microwaves and Convection Combination cooking uses both microwave energy and convection heating. No preheating is required as the microwave energy is immediately available. Many foods can be cooked in combination mode, particularly: ◆ Roast meats and poultry ◆ Pies and cakes ◆ Egg and cheese dishes ☛ ◆ ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly.
1 CE104CF GB-3 2003.4.19 4:29 PM Page 27 Combining Microwaves and the Grill GB You can also combine microwave cooking with the grill, to cook quickly and brown at the same time. ☛ ◆ ALWAYS use microwave-safe and oven-proof cookware. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal as they allow the microwaves to penetrate the food evenly. ◆ ALWAYS use oven gloves when touching the recipients in the oven, as they will be very hot. ◆ You can get better cooking and grilling, if you use the high rack.

1 CE104CF GB-3 2003.4.19 4:29 PM Page 30 Cookware Guide To cook food in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food, without being reflected or absorbed by the dish used. Care must therefore be taken when choosing the cookware. If the cookware is marked microwavesafe, you do not need to worry. The following table lists various types of cookware and indicates whether and how they should be used in a microwave oven.
1 CE104CF GB-3 2003.4.19 4:29 PM Page 31 Cleaning Your Microwave Oven GB The following parts of your microwave oven should be cleaned regularly to prevent grease and food particles from building up: ◆ Inside and outside surfaces ◆ Door and door seals ◆ Glass plate and roller ring ☛ ALWAYS ensure that the door seals are clean and the door closes properly.
