Reheating Charts
The times given in the charts below are a guideline only, and will vary
depending on STARTING temperature, dish size and quantity. Pastry or
bread items reheated by microwave will be soft not crisp.
Heating category
Your oven is Heating Category E and this is displayed on the Identification
label. The information on this label will assist you in using new instructions
on food packs to enable you to program the best heating time in your oven.
Points for checking
Always check that food is piping hot after reheating in the microwave. If
unsure return to oven. Foods will still require a standing time, especially if
they cannot be stirred. The denser the food the longer the standing time.

Babies bottles – CAUTION
After heating by Microwave, liquid at the top of a bottle will be much hotter
than at the bottom of the bottle and must be shaken thoroughly before
checking the temperature. When testing the temperature of the milk, squirt
a little onto your inner wrist. The milk droplets on your skin should feel
warm, not hot.
For 250 ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat.
Heat on 1000 W for 40 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY.
For 100 ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat.
