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 time using the time
selector.
Any time 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 time 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.
For a smaller quantity, possibly
shorten the time but ensure food is
cooked thoroughly.
–
the shape and material of the
container.
^ Press the Start button to start the
programme.
The interior lighting comes on.
A programme can only be started if the
door is closed.
"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 process until you do this.
