You cannot find any information about the settings for the quantity of
food you have prepared.
Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time
The food has become too dry. Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave power set-
ting. Cover the food and add more liquid.
When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or cooked. Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high require
longer times.
When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the edge but not
done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower microwave power
setting and a longer cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the outside but not
defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are defrosting a
large quantity, turn it several times.
