Unsuitable crockery
Crockery and lids with hollow
handles or knobs can collect mois-
ture in the hollow spaces. When the
moisture evaporates, pressure can
build up and the item can explode. If
the hollow recess is sufficiently vent-
ilated, the item can be used.
Do not use crockery with hollow
knobs or handles for cooking.
Do not use the following crockery and
material:
- Metal racks (including the supplied
rack) are not suitable for use with the
operating mode.
Microwave
- Metal containers
- Aluminium foil
Exception: for even defrosting, reheat-
ing or cooking of unevenly shaped
cuts of meat, e.g. poultry, small pieces
of aluminium foil may be used to cover
thin parts for the last few minutes of
the programme.
- Metal clips, plastic or paper ties con-
taining wire
- Plastic containers where the alu-
minium lid has not been completely
removed
- Crystal glass
- Cutlery and crockery with metallic
decoration (e.g. gold rims, cobalt blue)
- Crockery with hollow handles
- Plasticware made of melamine
Melamine absorbs microwave energy
and gets hot.
When purchasing plasticware, make
sure that it is suitable for use in a
microwave oven.
Microwave operation
- Wooden dishes
Water contained in wood evaporates
during the cooking process. This
causes the wood to dry and crack.
Testing dishes
Unsuitable crockery can cause sparks or
crackling noises. If you are not sure
whether glass, porcelain or stoneware
crockery is suitable, test the dishes.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use.
Place the empty crockery in the
middle of the glass tray and slide the
tray into shelf level 1.
Close the door.
Select the
Microwave
Set the highest microwave power
level (1000 W) and a cooking dura-
tion of 30 seconds.
Start the programme.
Observe the crockery during the en-
tire duration.
Immediately open the door if there
are sparks or crackling noises.
If there are sparks or if you can hear
crackling noises, the tested crockery is
not suitable for microwave use.
