microwave Symbols
On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown
below.
This symbol has been introduced for your benefit when cooking or
reheating packaged food.
Packaged food is also, increasingly, using a microwave symbol similar to
the one below. When you see this
Symbol on food packaging, the cooking instructions are based on either the
IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.
cookING INStructIoNS
The IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so all
microwave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power
output.
If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, set
cooking times according to the IEC Power of your oven.
For example :
If the cooking instructions are based on a 650 W oven, then you will need to
reduce some cooking time for the FG87S / FG88S (800 W) Ready meals are
now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are already prepared
and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed
for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions on the food package, and set your timer accordingly.
For example : If the heating instructions are 3 minutes on HIGH for a D category
oven, then you will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the
FG87S / FG88S
(E category).
Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.
