∙ 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 or hot-air function
∙ With these functions, any heat-resistant containers or plates suitable for conventional ovens may be used, though not any
plastic items.
∙ The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack or pizza plate, which is then placed on the glass turntable.
Using the microwave/grill or microwave/hot-air combination
∙ When using the combination functions, the microwave and grill or hot-air 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.
