OVENWARE
In microwave only and combi with microwave
functions, any glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramic,
china or terracotta ovenware may be used
provided it has no metal decorations or parts
(e.g. gold paint decorations, metal handles, feet
etc.).
Heat resistant plastic containers can also be
used, but only for "microwave only" cooking.
If you are in doubt as to the suitability of a
particular container, carry out this simple test -
place the empty container in the oven for 30
seconds at maximum power (microwave only
mode).
If the container remains cold or heats up only
slightly, it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it becomes very hot (or sparks are produced),
the container is not suitable.
When heating food for brief periods, paper
napkins, cardboard trays or disposable plastic
plates can be used as a base.
The shape and size must allow correct rotation.
Microwave only
Combi microwave + grill
Grill only
* If the heating time is too long, it may catch fire.
When using large rectangular containers
which are not able to turn inside the cavity,
block rotation of the turntable (G) by
extracting the spindle (D) from its housing.
Remember that in these conditions, for best
results, the food must be stirred or the container
turned around a number of times during
cooking.
Metal,
containers are not suitable for microwave
cooking.
Remember that microwaves heat the food not
the ovenware. Food can therefore be cooked
directly on the serving plate, thus avoiding using
and cleaning saucepans.
Remember that heat may be transferred from
the food to the plate. You may therefore have to
use an oven glove to take it out of the oven.
All standard ovenware may be used in the "grill
only" function (see table).
