Heating and standing times
When heating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken — for future
reference. Always make sure that the heated food is piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for
a short time after heating, to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after
heating is 2–4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the table. Take particular care when
heating liquids and baby food.
Reheating liquids
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to allow
the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To
prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir
before, during and after heating. Please refer to Table: 04.
Reheating baby food
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. Use the power
levels and times in the next table as guidelines for reheating. Please refer to Table: 03.

Defrosting
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of
great advantage, especially when guests show up unexpectedly. It is better to defrost food using a
lower power level, in order to defrost the cooking item evenly.
