We recommend the
Automatic Reheat
programme
for reheating meat,
poultry, fish, soup, plated meals, cas-
seroles and vegetables.
Use the
Microwave mode
to reheat
foodstuffs which are unsuitable for the
automatic programme.
Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food
– drinks
1200 W,
– food
850 W or 600 W
– * food for babies 450 W.
* We do not recommend heating or
reheating 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 utmost
care. Pasteurised or sterilised
cooked food should be gently
heated at 450 Watt, and tasted so
that it is not too hot for a baby’s pal-
ate before serving. Other food or
drink when reheated should be
heated to a high temperature and
allowed to cool to a suitable heat for
eating. For made-up milk follow the
maker’s instructions.
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.
Always remove the lids from jars,
especially jars of baby food.
Remove the rubber teat and seal
top before warming baby bottles.
When reheating 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 re-
quires for example longer to reheat
than food stored at room temperature.
Always ensure that the food is ade-
quately heated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, con-
tinue reheating 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. With the
automatic programme an audible tone
sounds as a reminder.
