Danger of burning.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Wear protective gloves when
removing dishes from the steam
oven.
Plastics
Plastic containers and plastic
disposable containers may only be
used with the Microwave function if
they have been declared as suitable for
microwave use by the manufacturer. To
protect the environment it is best to
avoid using single-use containers.
Do not leave the steam oven
unattended when reheating or
cooking food in disposable
containers made of plastic, paper or
other inflammable materials.
Plastics must be heat-resistant to a
minimum of 110 °C. Otherwise the
plastic may melt and fuse with the
food.
When cooking food with fat, or food
containing fat, do not use plastic
containers. Use only glass or
porcelain.
– Plastic microwave containers
These are readily available from retail
outlets.
– Styrofoam containers
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used for very short, timed warming and
reheating of food.
Description of functions
– Plastic "Boil-in-the-bag" bags
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should be
pierced beforehand so that steam can
escape.
This prevents a build-up of pressure
and reduces the risk of the bag
bursting.
There are also special steaming bags
available which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions given
on the packet.
– Roasting bags and tubes
Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using roasting bags
and tubes.
Fire hazard.
Do not use metal clips, plastic clips
containing metal parts, or paper ties
containing wire. There is a danger
that they will ignite when heated.
– Melamine containers
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot. When purchasing
plasticware, make sure that it is suitable
for use in a microwave oven.
