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. 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 or hot-air function
∙ When using the grill or hot-air function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used. Do not
use plastic items when the grill or hot-air function is used.
∙ The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable.
Microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air combinations
∙ When using the microwave + grill or microwave + hot-air combinations, each function is activated alternately. The containers or plates
must therefore be suitable for use in a microwave as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high temperatures, plastic
items must not be used. Make sure that container or plate used does not contain any metal parts.
