Do not connect the plug to a mains socket under any circumstances as there is a danger of electric shock.

WARNING

CIRCUITS : Your microwave oven should be operated on a separate circuit from other appliances. Failure to do this may cause the circuit breaker to trip, the fuse to blow, or the food to cook more slowly.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD PACKAGING

Microwave Symbols

On the front of your oven there is a microwave oven symbol, as shown below.

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

Symbol on food packaging, cooking instructions are based on either the

IEC Power Output Rating, or the Reheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.

English - 12

ME711K_XEU_DE68-03941D-00_EN.indd 12 2014-10-17 �� 11:10:14

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 ME711K, ME712K, ME713K (800 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

ME711K, ME712K, ME713K (E category).

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.
