Unsuitable containers for
microwave use
,
Dishes with hollow knobs or
handles are not suitable for use with
microwave power. Moisture which
has gathered in the hollow recesses
can cause pressure to build up and
the item can explode. If the hollow
recess is sufficiently ventilated, the
item could be used. However, we
recommend that you do not use
such dishes in the microwave oven.
Metal
Metal reflects microwaves and
obstructs the cooking process.
^
Do not use metal containers,
aluminium, foil, metal cutlery and
china with metallic decoration such
as gold rims or cobalt blue with
Microwave combination
programmes.
Do not use containers where the foil
lid has not been completely
removed as small pieces of foil can
cause sparking.
Exceptions:
The rack supplied with the oven is
suitable for use with all functions
that do not use microwave power
and with Microwave combination
programmes.
Place the rack on any shelf level. Do
not place it on the oven floor.
– Metal bakeware can be used with
Microwave combination
programmes.
– Ready-meals in aluminium foil trays
can be defrosted and reheated using
microwave power as long as the lid
is removed.
When using foil trays there is a risk
of arcing or sparks occurring in the
oven. For this reason, place the foil
tray on the glass tray and not on the
rack.
The foil tray must be at least 2 cm
away from the oven walls. It must
not touch them.
However, as food is only heated from
the top, it is better to remove the food
from the aluminium foil container and
transfer it to a dish suitable for use in
a microwave oven. The heat
distribution will be more even.
