1/ NOTICES TO THE USER

The microwaves used for cooking are elec-
tromagnetic waves. They are commonly
found in our environment in the form of radio
waves, light and infrared rays.

Their frequency is in the 2450 MHz range.
Their behaviour:

• They are reflected by metals.

• They travel through all other materials.

• They are absorbed by water, fat and

sugar molecules.

When food is exposed to microwaves its
molecules begin moving rapidly, causing it to
heat up.

The penetration depth of waves into the food
is approximately 2.5 cm; if the food is thicker,
the centre of the food will be cooked by con-
duction, as in conventional cooking.
Note that microwaves cause a simple ther-
mal phenomenon within food and are not
harmful to health.
