They are present naturally in the environment in the form of radio waves, or light or infrared rays. Their frequency is in the 2,450 MHz range. Their properties: - They are reflected by metal. - They travel through all other materials. - They absorb water, fat and sugar molecules. The packaging for your appliance is made from recyclable materials. Recycle them and help to protect the environment by disposing of them in the council receptacles provided for this purpose. When food is exposed to microwaves, the molecules are shaken rapidly, generating heat. The microwaves penetrate the food up to a depth of around 2.5 cm. If food items are thicker, they will be cooked through to the centre by heat conduction, as in traditional cooking. It is important to know that microwaves trigger a simple thermal reaction within the food and that they are not harmful. 2 Your appliance also contains various recyclable materials. It is therefore marked with this logo to inform you that worn-out appliances should not be disposed of with other waste. Appliance recycling organised by your manufacturer will thus be carried out in optimum conditions, in accordance with European directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment. Please contact your local council or your dealer for information on the worn-out appliance collection points nearest to your home. We thank you for your help in protecting the environment.
