NOTICES TO THE USER

The microwaves used for cooking are electro-
magnetic waves. They are found naturally in our
environment as radio-electric waves, light or
infra-red radiation.
Their frequency is located in the 2450 MHz band.
Their properties:
• They are reflected by metals.
•
They can pass through all other materials.
• They are absorbed by molecules of
water, fat and sugar.
When food is exposed to microwaves, the
molecules are quickly shaken up, which causes
heating.
The microwaves penetrate into the food to a
depth of around 2.5 cm. If the food is thicker, it
will be cooked to its core by heat conduction,
as with traditional cooking.
It is important to know that microwaves cause
a simple thermal reaction inside the food, and
that they are not harmful.
