Always use suitable kitchen utensils
●
Do not place the food directly onto the glass turntable; always use a suitable plate or
cooking container. Make sure that the container does not protrude over the rim of the
glass turntable.
●
Metal objects are to be avoided since microwaves are reflected from metal surfaces and
might not reach the food to be cooked. Any metal in the oven might also cause sparks,
resulting in possible damage to the unit.
●
As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven.
Some food wrappings contain aluminium foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and
are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.
Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is
tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil (avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum
distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.
●
Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not have any metal
decoration, such as a gold rim, or colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects
are also not suitable. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow
in any part (e.g. in the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during
cleaning and are again not suitable. Cooking containers or utensils made of 'Melamine'
plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable.
- Using the microwave function
- Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain, however, are well suited for
use in microwave appliances.
- Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to 180° C. Cooking bags etc. should be
punctured to release any high pressure during cooking.
Cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available
at most kitchenware dealers.
- Cooking containers or plates can be tested for their suitability in a microwave
appliance by placing the item (without any food) on the glass turntable, switching
the unit on, adjusting the microwave power setting to 'High', and letting the
appliance operate for approximately 20 seconds. Listen and watch carefully for
crackling sounds and sparks. Should any be observed, switch the unit off
immediately. It is also important to check the temperature of the container: a
suitable container will only be lukewarm.
- Using the grill function
- When using the grill function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for
conventional ovens may be used. Do not use any plastic items with the grill.
- The food to be cooked is put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the
glass turntable.
- Using the microwave/grill combination
- When using the microwave/grill combination, the two functions are activated
alternately. The containers or plates must therefore be suitable for use in a
microwave appliance as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high
temperatures, plastic items must not be used. The grill rack of this unit is suitable for
use with the microwave oven. Make sure that container or plate used does not
