to boil and spill violently as a result of delayed boiling, causing scalding. To avoid this
happening, you should place a heat-resistant plastic spoon or a glass rod in the
container before starting to heat liquids. Anyway, care shall be taken when handling
the container.
15) Do not heat spirit with a high alcohol content, nor large quantities of oil, as these could catch fire!
16) The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be stirred or shaken and the temperature
shall be checked before consumption in order to avoid burns. It is also advisable to
stir or shake the food in order to ensure that it has an even temperature.
When using commercially available bottle sterilisers, before turning the oven on,
ALWAYS make sure the container is filled with the quantity of water indicated by the
manufacturer.

You can make use of all types of containers
made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics,
porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they do
not have decorations or metal parts (gilded
borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic
containers can also be used, but only for
"Microwave Only" cooking. If you are still
doubtful about using a particular container, you
can perform a simple test. Place the empty
container in the oven for 30 seconds at
maximum power ("Microwave Only" function).
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm,
it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not
suitable.
For short heating periods, you may use paper
napkins, cardboard
"throwaway" plates as a base. As far as shape
and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential
that containers be such as to allow the turntable
to rotate.
In order to use large-size rectangular containers
(which may not be able to rotate inside the

cooking cavity), you can remove the spindle (B)
from its housing to prevent the turntable (D)
moving. Bear in mind that to be assured of
good results when carrying this out you must
stir the food and turn the container around
several times during the cooking process.
Containers made of metal, wood, recycled
kitchen paper, cane and plate glass are not
suitable for use in microwave ovens. The metal
rack supplied with your microwave have been
fully tested for safe use. You should remember,
too, that since microwaves heat the food and
not the glassware, earthenware or similar
containers for that food, it is possible to cook
such foods in the serving dish and thereby
avoid the problem of having to clean pans later.
However, remember that heat may be trans-
ferred from the food itself to the plate, making it
necessary to use an oven glove.
In any case, observe the guidelines shown in the
