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 z
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 z
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 z
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 up to at least 180° C. Cooking bags etc. should be -
punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available at
most kitchenware dealers.
Using the grill or hot-air convection -
With these functions, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens -
may be used, though not any plastic items.
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 -
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. The grill rack of this unit is suitable for use
with the microwave oven. Make sure that the container or plate used does not contain any
metal parts.
Grill rack
For grilling, the rack should be placed on its longer feet. -
When placed on its shorter feet, the rack can be used with hot-air convection, e.g. for -
making pizza.
