NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
The use of unsuitable materials can cause
damage to the appliance or the material
itself.
 Exclusively use the accessories supplied
or accessories which are described as
suitable in this user manual.
 Do not use dishes with metal trimmings
or metal dishes as this may lead to sparks
that may damage the appliance and/or
the dishes.
 As soon as you notice sparks or flashes,
press the button and pull out the
mains plug. Check whether there are any
metal objects in or on the food or dish.
 Do not use crystal or lead crystal glass. It
can shatter, and coloured glass may be-
come discoloured.
 Do not use materials that are not heat-
proof. They may warp or may even catch
fire.
 Use dishes suitable for microwave ov-
ens. Look for markings such as "micro-
wave-safe" or "For the microwave" when
purchasing dishes.
 In order to correctly arrange the food to
be cooked, place the thickest pieces on
the outside.
 Note the exact cooking or heating times.
 Choose the shortest available cooking or
heating time and extend it if necessary.
 Cover food during cooking or heating
with a microwave-safe cover. Covering
the food helps avoid splashes; further-
more, the food is more evenly cooked.
 Foods such as chicken pieces or ham-
burgers should be turned once when
cooking in the microwave oven in order
to speed up cooking. Larger pieces such
as joints or roasting chickens must be
turned at least once.
 It is also important to reposition food,
e.g. if cooking meatballs: After half of
the cooking time has expired, the food
should be repositioned from top to bot-
tom and from the inside to the outside.
 After heating, stir the food if possible to
ensure even temperatures; otherwise, let
the food stand for a short time.
6.1. Size and shape of micro-
wave-safe containers
Flat, broad containers are better than narrow,
tall ones. "Flat" foods can be cooked more
evenly.
Round or oval containers are more suitable
than angular ones. There is a danger of local
overheating in the corners.

terials

ing up)
