WHAT KIND OF OVENWARE CAN BE USED?

MICROWAVE FUNCTION
For the microwave function, keep in
mind that microwaves are reflected by
metal surfaces. Glass, china, clay,
plastic, and paper let microwaves
pass.
For this reason, metal pans and dishes
or containers with metal parts or
decorations cannot be used in the
microwave. Glass ware and clay with
metallic decoration or content (e.g.
lead crystal) cannot be used in
microwave ovens.
The ideal materials for use in
microwave ovens are glass, refractory
china or clay, or heat resistant plastic.
Very thin, fragile glass or china should
only be used for short period of times
(e.g. heating).
Hot food transmits heat to the dishes
which can become very hot. You
should, therefore, always use an oven
glove!
How to test ovenware you want to
use?
Put the item you want to use in the
oven for 20 seconds at maximum
microwave power. After that time, if it
is cold and just slightly warm, it is
suitable to use. However, if it heats up
a lot or causes electric arcing it is not
suitable for microwave use.
WARNING!
If microwave is used, please
make sure there are no
inappropriate objects inside of the
oven.
GRILL AND HOT-AIR
FUNCTIONS
In the combined functions, the
ovenware used must be suitable for
use in both the microwave and the
grill.
COMBINED FUNCTIONS
In the combined functions, the
ovenware used must be suitable for
use in both the microwave and the
grill.
ALUMINIUM CONTAINERS
AND FOIL
Pre-cooked food in aluminium
containers or in aluminium foil can be
put in the microwave if the following
aspects are respected:
Keep in mind the manufacturer's
recommendations written on the
packaging.
The aluminium containers cannot be
more than 3 cm high or come in
contact with the cavity walls (minimum
distance 3 cm). Any aluminium lid or
top must be removed.
Put the aluminium container directly on
top of the turntable plate. If you use
the grid iron, put the container on a
china plate. Never put the container
directly on the grid iron! The cooking
time is longer because the microwaves
only enter the food from the top. If you
have any doubts, it is best to use only
dishes suitable for microwave use.
Aluminium foil can be used to reflect
microwaves during the defrosting
process. Delicate food, such as poultry
or minced meat, can be protected from
excessive heat by covering the
respective extremities/edges.
Important: aluminium foil cannot come
into contact with the cavity walls since
this may cause electrical arcing.
LIDS
We recommend you use glass or
plastic lids or cling film since:
This will stop excessive evaporation
(mainly during very long cooking
times);
The cooking times are shorter;
The food does not become dry;
The aroma is preserved.
The lid should have holes or openings
so that no pressure develops. Plastic
bags must also be opened. Baby
feeding bottles or jars with baby food
and similar containers can only be
