The Microwave; Cookware/ Bakeware - Siemens HME 97 Series Operating Instructions Manual

The microwave

Cookware/
bakeware
The microwave can be used separately, i.e., on its
own, or combined with one type of heating.
Why not try out the microwave straight away. You
could heat up a cup of water for your tea, for example.
Take a large cup without gold or silver decoration and
place a teaspoon inside. Insert the wire grill into the
oven on level 1. Place the cup of tea in the middle of
the wire grill.
1.
Press the button for a microwave power of 800 W.
2.
Use the knob to set 1 minute and 30 seconds.
3.
Press the start button.
An acoustic signal sounds after 1 minute and
30 seconds. The signal can be switched off
prematurely by pressing the stop button.
Whilst you are drinking your cup of tea, please read
again the microwave safety instructions at the start
of the instruction manual. They are very important.
Use cookware/bakeware made out of glass,
porcelain, ceramic, or heat resistant plastic. These
materials are permeable to microwave radiation.
Metal cookware/bakeware, on the other hand, is
impermeable to microwave radiation, which means that
food in enclosed metal containers will remain
uncooked. Open and flat metal bowls, e.g. made from
aluminium, can be used.
Take care that the metal is not too close to the oven
wall, as contact could result in sparks. Metal oven
accessories cannot cause sparks provided that they
are used according to the instructions in the tables.
Always place the cookware/bakeware on the wire grill.
Exception: Warming milk bottles. If sparks do occur
between the metal cookware/ bakeware and the wire
grill, simply wipe the cookware/bakeware base with a
damp cloth.
