Ready meals are now very convenient and popular. These are meals which are
already prepared and cooked by the food manufacturer, and then frozen, chilled
or vacuum sealed for long life.
Increasingly, heating times for such ready meals are being based on the Heating
Categories A, B, C, D and E.
On this instance, simply match the heating category of your oven to the
instructions 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 you
will need to set your timer for less than 3 minutes on HIGH for the G2719N (E
category).
☛ Always remember that cooking instructions are intended only as a
guide. If you have followed the instructions and the food is still not
piping hot throughout, simply return it to the oven and cook it until
it is.
