11. Therefore it was clear that a new approach for reheating this type of food was required MAFF working in partnership with the food companies and oven with microwave function manufacturers such as LG electronics have overcome this problem by the introduction of heating categories Because you may not yet be familiar with this system we have used the following explanation as an example However please refer to the actual rating as printed on the oven door Displayed on the food packages will be the cooking times for each of the BAND categories For example A may be 10 minutes B may be 9 minutes etc depending on the food type Denotes the microwave output power of this oven Three wavy lines denotes 1000W This category links with the 2 NI heating times given food agreement When applying this method for reheating cooked chilled food stuffs the following information must be adhered to 1 The microwave output power of this oven must be set at maximum power level refer to instructions 2 Refer to the cooking instructions given on the packaging 3 As with all cooked food check for evenness of cooking and ensure that foods are piping hot prior to consumption 46 Technology with the human touch GUARANTEE LG ELECTRONICS U K LTD WILL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SERVICES IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE THIS GUARANTEE 1 All faulty components which fail due to defective manufactu
