WhAT kIND Of
OvENWARE CAN BE uSED?
microwave function
For the microwave function, keep in
mind that microwaves are refl ected 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.
Grill and hot air function
In the case of the Grill and Hot
air functions, the ovenware must be
resistant to temperature of at least
300°C.
Plastic dishes are not suitable for
use in 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.
Â
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.
Â
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!
Â
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.
Â
Aluminium foil can be used to
refl ect 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.
Â
Important: aluminium foil cannot
come into contact with the cavity walls
since this may cause electrical arcing.
