OVENWARE
Suitable ovenware
Suitable dishes are heat-resistant ovenware made of glass,
glass ceramic, porcelain, ceramic or heat-resistant plastic.
These materials allow microwaves to pass through.
You can also use serving dishes. This saves you having
to transfer food from one dish to another. You should only
use ovenware with decorative gold or silver trim if the
manufacturer guarantees that they are suitable for use
in microwaves.
Unsuitable ovenware
Metal ovenware is unsuitable. Metal does not allow
microwaves to pass through. Food in covered metal
containers will remain cold.
NOTE: The wire grill racks supplied with this appliance are
compatible for use on microwave mode. Please ensure
only the supplied wire grill racks are used, and they must
be placed centrally on the turntable during use.
Ovenware test
Do not switch on the microwave unless there is food inside.
The following ovenware test is the only exception to this rule.
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether your
ovenware is suitable for use in the microwave :
1. Heat the empty ovenware at maximum power for½ to
1 minute.
2. Check the temperature occasionally during that time.
The ovenware should still be cold or warm to the touch.
The ovenware is unsuitable if it becomes hot or sparks
are generated.
