• Food comes in all shapes, sizes and textures. The quantities also
vary. For these reasons the time and amount of energy needed to
defrost, heat or cook will also vary. As a general rule :
Double the quantity/weight = nearly double the time*
*Please refer to the cooking charts. To be on the safe side, always
select the shorter cooking time. Then extend the time as necessary.
• Microwaves work by making the food heat itself up. Because of this, not
all areas of the food will be heated at the same time.When heating larger
quantities of food, it is particularly important to stir or turn them over.
• “Standing time” is referred to in the cooking charts.This is the time you
should leave the food to stand without power (either inside or outside the
appliance). This ensures even distribution of heat throughout the food.
