Defrosting large
quantities of food at
once, e.g. 2 kg fish
The glass tray placed on the lowest level can be used
for defrosting food.
Reheating food Always cover food when reheating it, except when
reheating meat/fish coated in breadcrumbs.
Cooking vegetables Add a little water to vegetables which have been kept
stored.
Vegetable cooking times depend on the texture of the
vegetable. Fresh vegetables contain more water than
vegetables which have been stored and usually cook
more quickly.
Cooking frozen
ready-meals
These can be defrosted and reheated or cooked at the
same time. Please follow instructions given on the
packet.
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The food is not
sufficiently heated or is
not cooked at the end
of a set time.
Check that you remembered to restart the programme
after interrupting a cooking process using microwave
power.
Check that the correct duration was selected for the
power level chosen when cooking or reheating in
microwave mode.
The lower the power level the longer the duration.
Food cools down too
quickly after being
reheated or cooked in
microwave mode.
When cooked by microwaves, food begins to cook from
the outside first, the inside of the food relying on the
slower conduction of heat.
If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that
the heat may not have reached the centre of the food.
Food may be warm in the middle but cool on the edge.
When reheating food with different densities, such as
plated meals, it is sensible to start with a low power
level and select a longer reheating time.
