the aluminium foil container to a dish
suitable for microwave use will result in
a more even heat distribution.
Do not place aluminium foil dishes
on the rack, in case the dish sparks
or arcs.
– Pieces of aluminium foil
For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts of
meat, poultry or fish, small pieces of
aluminium foil may be used to mask
wingtips or other thin parts for the last
few minutes of the programme.
Make sure that the aluminium foil is
at least 2 cm from the oven walls at
all times. It must not touch the walls.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
These should only be used if they are
very small in comparison to the size of
the cut of meat.
Glazes and colours
Some dishes have glazes and
colours containing metallic
substances.
These dishes are unsuitable for
microwave use.
Glassware
Heat-resistant glass or ceramic glass is
ideal for use in the microwave oven.
Crystal glass is unsuitable as it
usually contains lead which could
cause the glass to crack in the
microwave.
Suitable containers for microwave use
Porcelain
Porcelain is a suitable material.
However do not use porcelain with
gold or silver edging, or items with
hollow knobs or handles.
Earthenware
Decorated earthenware is only suitable
if the decoration is beneath an all-over
glaze.
Earthenware can get very hot and
may crack.
Danger of burning!
Wear oven gloves when removing
the dishes from the oven.
Wood
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking programme.
This causes the wood to dry and
crack.
Wooden dishes are therefore not
suitable.
Plastics

Plastics must be heat-resistant
to a minimum of 110 °C.
Otherwise the plastic may melt and
fuse with the food.
Use plastic containers only with
Microwave Solo mode.
Special plastic utensils designed for use
in microwave ovens are available from
retail outlets.
Melamine is not suitable for use in this
oven. Melamine absorbs microwave
energy and gets hot. When purchasing
