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
oven.
Fire hazard! Using Microwave Solo or Microwave combination
programmes with plastic dishes which are not microwave safe can
cause them to melt and damage the appliance.
Do not use any containers or cutlery made from or containing metal,
aluminium foil, lead crystal glassware, temperature-sensitive plastics,
wooden utensils or cutlery, metal clips or plastic or paper covered
wire ties. Do not use bowls with milled rims, or plastic pots with the
foil lid only partially removed (see "Suitable containers for microwave
use").
For functions without microwave power: plastic containers which
are not suitable for use in an oven can melt at high temperatures and
can even damage the oven or catch fire. Only use containers which
are declared by the manufacturer as being suitable for use in an
oven. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on use.
Do not leave the microwave oven unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Before using single-use containers, make sure they are suitable for
use in microwave ovens (See "Containers suitable for microwave use
- Plastics").
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-retaining bags which are
intended for use in normal ovens.
These heat-retaining bags usually contain a thin layer of aluminium
foil which reflects microwaves. This reflected energy can, in turn,
cause the outer paper covering to become so hot that it ignites.
