When heating up food which cannot be
stirred or turned during cooking, as with
a plated meal, it is best to use a lower
microwave power level.
This ensures the heat is distributed
evenly. Heat for long enough to cook
the food properly.
^ Set the required duration using the
time selector.
Any duration between 10 seconds and
90 minutes can be selected. Exception:
If the maximum microwave power is
selected, a maximum cooking duration
of 15 minutes can be set. If you then
continue to select full power, the power
level may reduce to 450 W, and this is
shown in the display (protection against
overheating).
The duration required depends on:
–
the initial temperature of the food.
Food taken from the refrigerator will
need longer to reheat or cook than
food already at room temperature.
–
the type and texture of the food.
Fresh vegetables contain more water
and cook more quickly than stored
vegetables.
–
the frequency of stirring or turning
the food. Frequent stirring or turning
heats the food more evenly, and it is
therefore ready in a shorter time.
–
the amount of food.
As a general rule, allow approx. time
and a half for double the quantity
and for a smaller quantity, possibly
shorten the duration. However,
always ensure that food is cooked
thoroughly as the duration required
will vary depending on the type of
food.
– the shape and material of the
container.

"door" message
The "door" message in the display is a
reminder that the appliance should not
be used without food inside it.
Operating the appliance without
food can damage the appliance.
If the door has been closed for 20
minutes or longer when the Start button
is pressed, the word door will appear in
the display to remind you to open the
door and make sure there is food in the
oven before you press Start. You
cannot start a programme until you do
this.
