Panasonic NN-S732WL User Manual

To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines.
Measure the amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the
food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than
refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwav-
able container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or
plastic wrap and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the follow-
ing chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
