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.
When using power levels other than 100P (HIGH)
you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing
on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
Stopping the oven: If you wish to stop the oven
during cooking press the STOP/CLEAR key or open
the oven door. To start the oven, close the door and press
the START key. If you wish to cancel the cooking
programme, press the STOP/CLEAR key twice.
