It simply causes the food to produce its own heat UG o When we heat food with infrared waves e g GRILL in a traditional oven the heat reaches the food surface and then reaches its centre by conduction Food has a rather poor ability to conduct heat and thus needs a long time to heat up Ds Using microwaves saves time You save time and electricity especially LOS when cooking small amounts of food An example If you boil fish in a sauce pan with water the energy must first heat the pan and then the water which will heat the fish In a microwave oven nearly all the energy is converted into heat inside the food which cooks more quickly saving electricity and a lot of time D Th Cooking Time 20 25 min Cooking time 10 min OPERATION e ACCESSORIES Turntable support Use the support under the glass turntable aay Do not put any tool on the support only the glass turntable IES The support can be washed in the dishwasher Positioning Put the support on the seat in the bottom of the microwave internal cavity Glass turntable Use the turntable with all cooking methods The turntable collects the dripping juices and food particles that otherwise would stain the inside of the oven The turntable can be washed in the dishwasher Positioning Put the glass turntable on the support Microwave oven features 1 2 3 7 8 8 E f So OHO O ES Of 01 01 CIN MMF
