SEVERIN MW 7870 Mode D'emploi page 19

∙ As a general rule, cutlery or metal containers must not be used in the microwave oven. Some food wrappings contain aluminium
foil or wires underneath a layer of paper and are therefore also unsuitable for use with microwave appliances.
Should the use of aluminium foil be recommended in a recipe, ensure that the food is tightly wrapped in the aluminium foil
(avoiding any air blisters). Ensure a minimum distance of 2.5 cm between the aluminium foil and the interior walls of the oven.
∙ Always make sure that the cooking container or plate used does not contain any metal decoration such as a gold rim or colour
containing metal particles. Lead crystal objects are also not suitable. Always make sure that no parts of the cooking containers
used are hollow (e.g. the handles). Porous materials may have absorbed water during cleaning and are again not suitable.
Cooking containers or utensils made of 'Melamine' plastic material absorb energy and are also unsuitable.
Using the microwave function
∙ Containers made from heat-resistant glass or porcelain are particularly suitable for use in microwave appliances.
∙ Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant. Plastic cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are
available at most kitchenware dealers.
∙ Cooking bags etc. should be punctured to be able to release any high pressure during cooking.
Using the grill function
∙ When using the grill function, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used. Do not use any
plastic items when using the grill.
∙ The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on the glass turntable.
Using the microwave/grill combination function
∙ When using the microwave/grill combination, the microwave and grill functions are activated alternately. The containers or plates
must therefore be suitable for use in a microwave appliance as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high temperatures,
plastic items must not be used. Make sure that the container or plate used does not contain any metal parts.
