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 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 any plastic items when the
grill or hot-air function is used.
- The food to be grilled is put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the
glass turntable.
- The food to be cooked can also be put directly on the baking tray and then placed on
the glass turntable or on the grill rack.
- Using the microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air combination functions
- When using the microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air combinations, the microwave
and grill or hot-air 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. The baking
tray and the grill rack provided with this unit are specifically designed for use with
all the functions described. Make sure that containers or plates used do not contain
any metal parts.
