Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food
from overheating. Keep foil at least 2 cm from the oven
walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not
recommended unless specified by the manufacturer.
Follow instructions carefully.

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are
usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it can
break or crack if heated suddenly.

It is not recommended to use metal cookware when using
microwave power as it will arc, which can lead to fire.
Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or
discolour at high temperatures.
Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are
suitable for microwave use. Do not use plastic or metal
ties, as they may melt or catch fire due to the metal arcing.
Only use for warming or to absorb moisture. Care must be
taken as overheating may cause fire.
Always attend the oven when using these materials as
overheating may cause fire.
