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 [ I lb 2oz]). It does not
represent the general performance of the oven.

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which
cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction,

The outer areas of the food are heated by the
microwave energy, then the heat moves to the centre
by conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It
is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.

ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories are
provided:
(15) Turntable (16) Turntable support (17) Coupling
Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven
floor so that it can freely rotate around the coupling.
Then place the turntable on to the turntable support
so that it locates firmly into the coupling.
To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes and
containers are lifted clear of the turntable rim when
removing them from the oven.
