∙ 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 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. 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.
