Suitable containers for microwave ovens
25
suitable for use in a microwave oven.
Disposable containers, such as trays
made from polystyrene, can only be
used to reheat food for a short time.
Plastic boiling bags can be used for
cooking and reheating. They should
be pierced beforehand. The holes al-
low the steam to escape. This pre-
vents a build-up of pressure from
forming and the bag from bursting.
There are also special bags available for
steam cooking which do not need to be
pierced. Please follow instructions given
on the packet.
 Fire hazard due to unsuitable
material.
Metal clips and plastic or paper ties
containing wire can ignite.
Avoid using these clips and ties.
Single-use containers
Single-use containers made of plastic
must meet the requirements indicated
under “Plastics”.
 Fire hazard due to unsuitable
container.
Single-use containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials can ignite.
Do not leave the appliance unatten-
ded when reheating or cooking food
in single-use containers made of
plastic, paper or other inflammable
materials.
To protect the environment, we do not
recommend the use of single-use con-
tainers.
Testing containers
If in doubt as to whether glass, earthen-
ware or porcelain plates or dishes are
suitable for use in a microwave oven, a
simple test can be performed:
 Place the item you wish to test in the
centre of the oven.
 Close the door.
 Turn the power selector to 900W.
 Enter a duration of 30seconds with
the time selector.
 Press the Start button.
If a crackling noise is heard accom-
panied by sparks during the test,
switch the appliance off immediately
(touch Stop/C twice)! Any crockery
which causes this reaction is unsuit-
able for use with microwave power. If
any doubt exists about the suitability
of containers, please contact the
supplier.
This test cannot be used to check
whether items with hollow knobs or
handles are suitable for use with
microwave power.
