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
