Cooking Instructions On Food Packaging
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 650W oven, then you will need to reduce some
cooking time for the CE1110/CE1111T/CE1112M/CE1113F (900W).
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 CE1110/CE1111T/
CE1112M/CE1113F (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.
Storing and Repairing Your Microwave Oven
A few simple precautions should be taken when storing or having your
microwave oven serviced.
The oven must not be used if the door or door seals are damaged:
•
Broken hinge
•
Deteriorated seals
•
Distorted or bent oven casing
Only a qualified microwave service technician should perform repairs.
☛
NEVER remove the outer casing from the oven. If the oven is faulty
and needs servicing or you are in doubt about its condition:
•
Unplug it from the wall socket
•
Contact the nearest after-sales service centre
✉
If you wish to store your oven away temporarily, choose a dry,
dust-free place.
•
Reason:
Dust and damp may adversely affect the working
parts in the oven.
