Reheating Cooked Chilled Foods

This microwave oven has been tested and labeled to the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) agreement, concerning the reheating of cooked chilled food.

The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwave ovens are usually calculated using a 1000 gram load, (IEC 60705). However, at smaller loads the heating characteristics of the microwave oven change. Most prepacked food normally falls into this category, usually being packed in smaller individual portions of approx. 350 grams. Therefore, it was clear that a new approach for reheating this type of food was required.

MAFF working in partnership with the food companies and microwave oven manufacturers such as ‘LG electronics’ have overcome this problem by the introduction of heating categories.

Because you may not yet be familiar with this system, we have used the following explanation as an example. However, please refer to the actual rating as printed on the oven door.

Displayed on the food packages will be the cooking times for each of the BAND categories. For example: A may be 10 minutes. B may be 9 minutes etc depending on the food type.
