Stir or turn food from time to time during
cooking. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats more
quickly from the outside. With the auto-
matic programme an audible tone
sounds as a reminder.
Heating on two levels
Because of the way that microwaves
are distributed from top and bottom it is
possible to reheat food on two levels at
the same time.
^
Place dishes on the oven floor and on
the glass tray. Insert the glass tray on
the upper level supports.
You can arrange
– three plates (Ø 20 cm) in a triangle,
two plates (Ø 22 cm) side by side, or
two plates (Ø 24.5 cm) diagonally on
the oven floor,
– two plates (Ø 20 cm) side by side, or
two plates (Ø 22 cm) diagonally on
the glass tray.
After reheating
Be careful when removing a dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
Although heat is not normally produced
in the container itself by the micro-
waves, (apart from stoneware and simi-
lar dishes), heat transfer from the food
to the container may be considerable,
making the container itself hot.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature once a programme
has ended to allow heat to be distrib-
uted evenly.
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.
For more detailed information on re-
heating consult a good microwave
or microwave combi-oven cookbook.
