“micro” mode
Materials
Containers
Suitable for
micro-waves
Remarks
METAL
Aluminium foil In certain cases May be used in small quantities to protect certain
parts of the food from overcooking. Risk of elec-
tric arcing if the foil is too close to the oven walls
or you have used too much.
Aluminium tray In certain cases See “Metal containers”, above.
Metal sheet No Risk of electric arcing and fire.
Freezer bag ties No Risk of electric arcing and fire.
GLASS
Heat-resistant glass Yes Perfectly suitable.
Glass with metal-based decora-
tion (gold, lead etc.)
No Risk of electric arcing.
Fine glassware No May break or crack if heated suddenly.
PLASTIC
Plastic containers Yes Perfectly suitable if the plastic is heat-resistant.
Certain plastics may be prone to deformation or
discoloration after repeated use.
Do not seal closed.
Plastic film Yes Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spit-
ting. The plastic must not touch the food during
cooking.
Puncture the plastic to allow excess vapour to
escape.
Use oven gloves to remove the plastic film after
cooking (risk of burns from hot vapour escaping
from the container).
DISPOSABLE CONTAINER MATERIALS FORBIDDEN IN GRILL
Polystyrene cups or packaging Yes Can be used for heating liquids and foods for a
short time. Overheating could melt the polystyre-
ne, which would then become mixed with the
food.
Paper bag No Fire-risk.
Paper plates, cups, napkins or
absorbent paper.
Yes May be used for heating and brief cooking.
Grease-proof paper Yes Can be used to retain moisture and prevent spit-
ting. Short cooking times.
Recycled paper No Risk of electric arcing.
PORCELAIN
Porcelain containers Yes Perfectly suitable except with metal-based deco-
ration (gold, lead etc.).
Cooking time
To determine the right cooking time for your foods, follow the instruc-
tions on the packaging of ready-made dishes and deep-frozen products.
In the absence of any precise indication, divide the cooking or reheating
time given for a conventional oven by at least three.
In any case, refer to the cooking guide included in these instructions.
Do not programme a cooking time longer than necessary. You will
then avoid any risk of overcooking or setting fire to your food.
Resting time
Microwaves act close to the surface and penetrate food to a depth of 2 to
3 cm. Once the surface layers are hot, heat penetrates to the centre of the
food by conduction, i.e. the hot parts heat the cold parts. This makes it a
good idea to allow the food to rest after removing it from the microwave
so that the heat can penetrate to the centre.
You must set the clock after connecting your appliance
or after a break in supply.
