The microwave function (Group II in compliance with EN 55011)
Electromagnetic energy is generated inside the unit, causing the molecules in the food (mainly water molecules) to oscillate
and subsequently causing the food to become hot. Food with high water content will therefore heat up faster than relatively
dry food. The heat is generated gradually inside the food. Any utensils, container or plates used are heated up only indirectly
as a result of the food temperature.
∙ 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 refl ected from metal surfaces and might not reach the food to be
cooked. Any metal in the oven could 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 contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or
colour containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that no parts of the cooking
containers used are hollow (e.g. 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 are particularly suitable for use in microwave appliances.
∙ Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant. Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens
are available at most kitchenware dealers.
∙ Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
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 when using the grill.
∙ The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable.
Using the microwave/grill combination function
∙ When using the microwave/grill combination, the microwave and grill 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. Make sure that the container or plate used does not contain
any metal parts.
Always use suitable kitchen utensils
