These are meals which are alreadyprepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled or vacuum sealed forlong life.Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating CategoriesA, B, C, D and E.On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the instructions on thefood 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 needto 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 a guide. If youhave followed the instructions and the food is still not piping hot throughout, simply return itto the oven and cook it until it is.MS23J5133A_EU_DE68-04328C-00_EN.indd 16 2015-01-21 6:22:59
