Operation
Microwave-Solo
There is a choice of 9 power settings. The higher the power setting, the more microwaves reach the food.
When heating up food of differing com- position, or which cannot be stirred or turned during cooking, as with a plated meal, it is preferable to heat these on a lower power setting. This ensures that the heat is distributed evenly. Heat for long enough to reach the temperature required.
Times for defrosting, reheating and cooking
The necessary time depends on:
–the initial temperature of the food. Food taken from the refrigerator will need longer to be reheated or cooked than food already at room temperature.
–the type and texture of the food. Fresh vegetables probably contain more water and cook more quickly than stored vegetables.
–the shape and material of the con- tainer.
–the amount of food.
In general:
Double the amount of food - at least one third extra cooking time.
For smaller amounts of food reduce the time accordingly.
Ideally the container should be placed in the middle of the oven.
Press the mtouchpad and use the +/- touchpads to enter the cooking time you require (5 seconds up to 99 minutes).
