Before defrosting, reheating and
cooking
^
Place food (including frozen) in a
dish that is suitable for microwave
use, and cover it.
^
Place the dish in the middle of the
glass tray on shelf level 1.
With Microwave combination
programmes
Only use heat-resistant containers
which are microwave safe.
A lid is not usually required.
Never use a lid with Mic
Auto roast
L
as the food will not
brown.
^
Place the glass tray on shelf level 2.
Place ready-meals in aluminium foil
dishes on the glass tray.
During the defrosting, reheating and
cooking process
^
Turn or stir the food several times.
Stir the food from the outside towards
the middle, as food heats more
quickly from the outside.
After defrosting, reheating and
cooking
Allow the food to stand at room
temperature for a few minutes to enable
the heat to spread evenly throughout
the food.
,
After reheating food, especially
food for babies and small children,
stir the food or shake the container
and check that the temperature
does not pose any danger. Double
check after it has been left to stand.
Danger of burning.
,
Danger of burning. Be careful
when removing dishes from the
appliance. Although heat is not
normally produced in the container
itself by the microwaves (apart from
stoneware), heat transfer from the
food to the container may be
considerable, making the container
itself hot.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
If in any doubt that the food has been
sufficiently reheated/cooked, place it
back in the appliance and reheat/cook
it for a little longer.
It is very important to make sure that
food which goes off easily, such as fish,
poultry and minced meat is cooked
sufficiently.
