How A Microwave Oven Works; Checking That Your Oven Is Operating Correctly - Samsung CE2727N Bedienungsanleitung

How a Microwave Oven Works

Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves; the energy
released enables food to be cooked or reheated without the foods form
or colour changing.
You can use your microwave oven to:
• Defrost(manual & auto)
• Cook
• Reheat
Cooking Principle
1. The microwaves generated by the magnetron are
distributed uniformly as the food rotates on the
turntable. 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). Cooking then
continues as the heat is dissipated within the food.
3. Cooking times vary according to the recipient used
and the properties of the food:
• Quantity and density
• Water content
• Initial temperature (refrigerated or not)
As the centre of the food is cooked by heat dissipation, cooking
continues even when you have taken the food out of the oven.
Standing times specified in recipes and in this booklet must
therefore be respected to ensure:
• Even cooking of the food right to the centre
• The same temperature throughout the food

Checking that Your Oven is Operating Correctly

The following simple procedure enables you to check that your oven is
working correctly at all times.
Open the oven door by pulling the handle on the right side of the door.
Place a glass of water on the turntable. Then, close the door.
1. Set the power level to maximum by turning COOKING
POWER CONTROL knob.
2. Set the time 4 to 5 minutes by turning the TIME/WEIGHT
( ) dial.
Result:
The oven must be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. The
turntable must be in position in the oven. If a power level other than
the maximum is used, the water takes longer to boil.

The oven light comes on and the turntable
starts rotating.
1) Cooking starts and when it has finished the
oven beeps four times.
2) The end reminder signal will beep 3
times(once every minute).
3) The current time is displayed again.
