Whenyou see thisSymbol on food packaging, cooking instructions arebased on either the IEC Power Output Rating, or theReheating Categories A, B, C, D or E.COOKING INSTRUCTIONSThe IEC Power Output rating is an internationally standardised rating, so allmicrowave manufacturers now use the same method of measuring power output.If food packaging gives cooking instructions based on IEC Power ratings, setcooking 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 toreduce some cooking time for the MS23J5133A* (800 W).Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which arealready prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled orvacuum sealed for long life.Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the HeatingCategories A, B, C, D and E.On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to theinstructions 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 youwill need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the MS23J5133A*(E category).IMPORTANT: Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as aguide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not piping hotthroughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until it is.MS23J5133A_EU_DE68-04328C-01_EN.indd 8 2015-11-05 �� 1:22:27
