10 - Microwave functions
The microwaves are transformed into heat in the food. The
microwave oven can be used on its own or in combination
with another type of heating method. This section contains
the information on the dishes and instructions on how to set
the microwave oven.
Warnings for dishware
Suitable dishware
Heat-resistant dishware made of glass, glass-ceramic,
porcelain, ceramic or refractory plastics
can be used. These materials are permeable to microwaves.
You can also use serving plates. This means you do not have
to transfer the food to another dish.
Dishes with gold or silver decorations can be only be used
if the manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
Remember that when you use the oven with the microwave
function, the dish must be placed on the turntable.
When the oven is used in combi mode, the cooking dish
should be placed on the low round grill, positioned in the
centre of the turntable.
Unsuitable dishware
Metal dishes are unsuitable.
Metal is not permeable to microwaves. Food in metal
containers will remain cold.
CAUTION
Metal components, e.g. spoons in glasses, must be kept
no less than 2 cm from the oven walls and from the inside
of the door. The sparks could, in fact, cause serious
damage to the glass on the inside of the door.
CAUTION
The flat grill rack must be removed when using the
microwave or combined modes. Only use it for
conventional cooking.
Testing dishware
Never start the microwave oven without first placing food
inside it.
The only exception is for testing dishes.
If you are unsure whether a dish can be used in the
microwave, we suggest you carry out the following test:
put the empty dish in the appliance for ½ - 1 minute on full
power. Check the temperature regularly. The dish should be
cold or slightly warm. If it is hot or there are sparks, the dish
is not suitable.
