are also not suitable. Always make sure that the cooking containers used are not hollow
in any part (e.g. in 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, however, are well suited for
use in microwave appliances.
- Plastic is suitable only if it is heat-resistant up to 180° C. Cooking bags etc. should be
punctured to release any high pressure during cooking.
Cooking containers especially designed for use with microwave ovens are available
at most kitchenware dealers.
- Using the grill or hot-air function
- When using the grill or hot-air function, any heat-resistant containers or plates
suitable for conventional ovens may be used. Do not use plastic items when the grill
or hot-air function is used.
- The food to be cooked can be put directly on the grill rack, which is then placed on
the glass turntable.
- Microwave/grill combination
- 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 as well as being heat-resistant. Because of the relatively high
temperatures, plastic items must not be used. The grill rack of this unit is also
suitable for use with the microwave. Make sure that container or plate used does not
contain any metal parts.
Grill rack
- For grilling, the rack should be placed on its longer feet.
- When placed on its shorter feet, the rack can be used with the hot-air function, e.g.
for making pizza.
