5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.

Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing

plates from the oven.

You cannot find any information about the settings for the

quantity of food you have prepared.

Increase or reduce the cooking times using the following rule of

thumb:
Double the amount = almost double the cooking time
Half the amount = half the cooking time

The food has become too dry.

Next time, set a shorter cooking time or select a lower microwave

power setting. Cover the food and add more liquid.

When the time has elapsed, the food is not defrosted, hot or

cooked.

Set a longer time. Large quantities and food which is piled high

require longer times.

When the time has elapsed, the food is overheated at the

edge but not done in the middle.

Stir it during the cooking time and next time, select a lower micro-

wave power setting and a longer cooking time.

After defrosting, the poultry or meat is defrosted on the out-

side but not defrosted in the middle.

Next time, select a lower microwave power setting. If you are

defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
