ATTENTION!
Do not use porcelain, ceramic or plastic containers in grill
or grill combi mode. Cling film should also not be used.
Due to the very high temperatures the materials could
break, warp or even melt.
6.2.2. Materials that are partially suitable
•
Stoneware and ceramics. Use clay containers only for defrosting and for short
cooking times because the air and water content of the material could cause the
clay to crack or break.
•
Dishes with gold or silver décor should only be used if they have been labelled
"microwave-suitable" by the manufacturer.
•
Never use aluminium foil in large quantities. It can however be used e.g. in small
pieces to cover sensitive parts. You can also cover the corners of containers to
prevent overcooking as the microwave energy is primarily concentrated on the
corners. Maintain a distance of 2.5 cm between the foil and the internal wall.
•
Aluminium containers (e.g. those for ready-to-serve meals) are suitable, but they
must be at least 3cm high to be used in the microwave.
