(See table on page 12 for ovens with maximum microwave output of less than 900/1000 watts.)

*We do not recommend heating or re-heating foods or drinks for babies or young children in the microwave oven. Any decision to do this is the responsibility of the user, and should only be done with the ut- most care. Pasteurised or sterilised cooked food should be gently heated on level 4, (5 or 6) accord- ing to model, see table on page 12, and tasted so that it is not too hot for a baby’s palate before serving. Other food or drink when reheated should be heated to a high tempera- ture and allowed to cool to a suit- able heat for eating. For made-up milk follow the maker’s instructions.

Always use a lid or cover for re-heating food, except when a drier finish is needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.

Always remove the lid from jars, es- pecially jars of baby food.

Remove the rubber teat and seal top before warming baby bottles. When re-heating liquids place the boiling rod supplied with the ma- chine into the cup or glass.

Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a microwave oven, even without the shell. The eggs can burst.

The time required depends largely on the nature and initial temperature of the food and the amount to be cooked. Food taken straight from the fridge or freezer requires for example longer to reheat than food stored at room tem- perature.

Always ensure that the food is thor- oughly heated.

If in any doubt that a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, con- tinue re-heating for a little longer.

Stir or turn food from time to time dur- ing cooking. Stir the food from the out- side towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside.
