What kind of ovenware can be used?

Microwave function

For the microwave function, keep in mind that

microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces.

Glass, china, clay, plastic, and paper let

microwaves pass.

For this reason, metal pans and dishes or

containers with metal parts or decorations

cannot be used in the microwave. Glass ware

and clay with metallic decoration or content

(e.g. lead crystal) cannot be used in microwave

ovens.

The ideal materials for use in microwave ovens

are glass, refractory china or clay, or heat

resistant plastic. Very thin, fragile glass or china

should only be used for short period of times (e.g.

heating).

Hot food transmits heat to the dishes which can

become very hot. You should, therefore, always

use an oven glove!

How to test ovenware you want to use

Put the item you want to use in the oven for 20

seconds at maximum microwave power. After that

time, if it is cold and just slightly warm, it is

suitable to use. However, if it heats up a lot or

causes electric arcing it is not suitable for

microwave use.

Grill function

In the case of the grill function, the ovenware must

be resistant to temperature of at least 300°C.

Plastic dishes are not suitable for use in the grill.

Microwave + grill function

In the microwave + grill function, the ovenware

used must be suitable for use in both the

microwave and the grill.

Aluminium containers and foil

Pre-cooked food in aluminium containers or in

aluminium foil can be put in the microwave if the

following aspects are respected:

• Keep in mind the manufacturer’s

recommendations written on the packaging.

• The aluminium containers cannot be more

than 3 cm high or come in contact with the

cavity walls (minimum distance 3 cm). Any

aluminium lid or top must be removed.

• Put the aluminium container directly on top

of the turntable plate. If you use the grid iron,

put the container on a china plate. Never put

the container directly on the grid iron!

• The cooking time is longer because the

microwaves only enter the food from the top.

If you have any doubts, it is best to use only

dishes suitable for microwave use.

• Aluminium foil can be used to reflect

microwaves during the defrosting process.

Delicate food, such as poultry or minced

meat, can be protected from excessive heat

by covering the respective

extremities/edges.

• Important: aluminium foil cannot come into

contact with the cavity walls since this may

cause electrical arcing.

Lids

We recommend you use glass or plastic lids or

cling film since:

1. This will stop excessive evaporation (mainly

during very long cooking times);

2. The cooking times are shorter;

3. The food does not become dry;

4. The aroma is preserved.

The lid should have holes or openings so that no

pressure develops. Plastic bags must also be

opened. Baby feeding bottles or jars with baby

food and similar containers can only be heated

without their tops / lids otherwise they can burst.
