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

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 MC32D*7736C*** / MC32D*7746C*** / MC32D*7636C*** /
MC32D*7646C*** (900 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 MC32D*7736C*** / MC32D*7746C*** /
MC32D*7636C*** / MC32D*7646C*** (E category).
NOTE
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.
