Operation

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 600 W, and this is shown in the display (protection against overheating). Overheating protection

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.
