You can make use of all types of containers
made of glass (preferably Pyrex), ceramics,
porcelain and glazed pottery as long as they do
not have decorations or metal parts (gilded
borders, handles, feet). Heat resistant plastic
containers can also be used, but only for
“Microwave Only” cooking. If you are still
doubtful about using a particular container, you
can perform a simple test. Place the empty
container in the oven for 30 seconds at
maximum power (“Microwave Only” function).
If the container is still cold or only slightly warm,
it is suitable for microwave cooking.
If it is very hot or gives out sparks, it is not
suitable. For short heating periods, you may use
paper napkins, cardboard trays and plastic
“throwaway” plates as a base. As far as shape
and size are concerned, it is absolutely essential
that containers be such as to allow the turntable
to rotate. In order to use large-size rectangular
containers (which may not be able to rotate
inside the cooking cavity), you can remove the
spindle (D) from its housing to prevent the
turntable (F) moving. Bear in mind that to be
assured of good results when carrying this out
you must stir the food and turn the container
around several times during the cooking
process. Containers made of metal, wood,
recycled kitchen paper, cane and plate glass
are not suitable for use in microwave ovens.
The metal rack supplied with your microwave
have been fully tested for safe use. You should
remember, too, that since microwaves heat the
food and not the glassware, earthenware or
similar containers for that food, it is possible to
cook such foods in the serving dish and thereby
avoid the problem of having to clean pans later.
If the oven is used in its grill only functions, any
type of oven container may be used (see chart).
