Microwave mode
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals can be
defrosted and immediately re-heated in
the same process, selecting 850 W
and then 450 W .
See table on the next page for times.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered microwave-safe
dish for defrosting and re-heating or
cooking. Exception: Minced meat
should be left uncovered while cook-
ing. Soups, stew and vegetables
should be stirred several times during
the process. Separate slices of meat
half-way through the programme. Turn
pieces of meat and fish at the half-way
stage.
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in card-
board trays which, according to manu-
facturer’s instructions are suitable for
use in a normal oven, are microwave-
safe.
Combination programme
For deep frozen pre-cooked meals
which are to be crisped and browned,
the Mic Grill combination can
be selected. Choose a microwave
power setting of 450 W and a tempera-
ture of 220 – 250 °C.
Put the pre-cooked meal in a heat resis-
tant, microwave-proof dish, and place
on the glass tray. Slide the tray into the
2nd level. Do not cover.
Pre-cooked meals in aluminium dishes
can be placed directly on to the glass
tray.
If this does not brown the food as much
as you would like, next time put the
dish on the rack, and slide this together
with the glass tray into the first level
from the bottom.
