The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by
MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)
with microwave oven and food manufacturers
indicates the ability of the oven to heat small
quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does not
represent the general performance of the oven.
Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven's heating category. The
higher the output power and heating category of the
oven the less heating time is required. As shown
opposite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to
