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 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 CE73J** (E category).

cooking guide MICROWAVES Microwave energy actually penetrates food, attracted and absorbed by its water, fat and sugar content. The microwaves cause the molecules in the food to move rapidly. The rapid movement of these molecules creates friction and the resulting heat cooks the food. COOKING Cookware for microwave cooking: Cookware must allow microwave energy to pass through it for maximum efficiency.
