Leave to stand for a few minutes as you will not be able to eat that food immediately because it will be too hot. · This will ensure that any possible bacteria present in food will have been killed. · To heat pre-cooked or frozen foods, follow these rules: - remove the food from its metal containers; - cover it with plastic wrap (the clear-film type suitable for microwave ovens) or wax paper; in this way, all the food's natural flavour will be preserved and the oven will stay cleaner; you may also cover the food with an upside-down plate; - if possible, stir or turn the food over frequently so as to speed up the heating process and keep the heat uniform at the same time; - follow the cooking times listed with great caution; remember that under certain conditions the timings given must be lengthened · Frozen foods must be defrosted before the heating process begins. The lower the food's initial temperature, the longer the time needed for heating. · Foodstuffs and drinks may be heated briefly in paper or plastic containers. In any event, however, such containers may become misshapen if the heating time is too long. 38 MW600GB copia 29-05-2000 16:28 Pagina 39 Hea tin g times Type SOFTENING FOOD · Chocolate/icing · Butter · Yoghurt · Baby's bottle Quantity 100 gr 50 -70 gr 125 gr 240 gr Programme selector knob MICROW AVE power knob timer knob (minuts) Notes " CHILLED FOOD (INITIAL TEMP. 5/8°C) UP TO 20/30°C " " " " 4-5 Put on a plate.
